Club 8 Slated to Release New Album Next Spring

Club 8

Longtime fans of Sweden’s pop music scene will recognize the Club 8 name as belonging to one of Labrador Record‘s most appreciated artists. The duo of Johan AngergÃ¥rd and Karolina Komstedt have been making music under the moniker since the mid 90s, and have released six full-length LPs. What sets this new album apart, however, is that AngergÃ¥rd will not produce it — and that’s a first for the band. Instead, Jari Haapalainen (Peter Bjorn & John, Camera Obscura, The Concretes) will be the producer. Read More »Club 8 Slated to Release New Album Next Spring

FensePost Version 3.0

FensePost Version 3

If you’re thinking FensePost looks a little different today, you’re onto something. After months of dwelling over a more robust, zine-like look for the site, I finally made it happen. Introducing FensePost Version 3.0. It’s the same old FensePost many of you have known and loved since June of 2006, only now it’s better. I cannot express how excited I am about this new design, and hope you enjoy it as well. Read More »FensePost Version 3.0

While Anderson hops off the tour, they will be playing with the excellent Blind Pilot, who themselves wrapped up a stint of summer dates with The Decemberists last month.

Damon And Naomi [Show Preview]

Damon & Naomi

Damon And Naomi are headed to Seattle next Tuesday, and here are a few reasons you should go. First, of course, is their history. The duo was part of the epic band Galaxie 500. Second, their songs are filled with a mystical and orchestrated folk beauty. Just listen to the lovely “Cruel Queen” and the epic “My Flower”. (The latter jumps off the map in the bridge with a wicked noisy flute part.) These are songs that simply BEG to be experienced live. Third, A Hawk & A Hacksaw is also on the bill. Fourth, they haven’t toured in quite a while. Fifth, they’ve got some new albums out (a triage of releases that feature their favorite tracks from their old days on Sub Pop. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, because I said so. Not convinced yet? Then there’s something seriously wrong with you. Period. Read More »Damon And Naomi [Show Preview]

Eugene Mirman

Eugene Mirman released his new album, God Is A Twelve-Year-Old Boy With Asperger’s, yesterday on Sub Pop. I’ve listened to it a few times, and I’ve seen him (like you probably have) on Flight Of The Conchords. And I’ve looked up his videos on YouTube. And I just have to say, that Eugene Mirman is awesome. That’s it. Now listen to a song from his new record, and check out a cool video of him speaking to his old high school during a graduation ceremony… Read More »Eugene Mirman is Awesome

Fense Turns 29

Cake: Fense Turns 29

OK, I know in a themed blog like this, only the narcissist would post something off topic, but I can’t help it; it’s a lazy week and I don’t feel like working too hard so I’m taking the day off. Why? Here it is: today is my birthday. I turn 29. One more year until 30 and I still don’t have to shave on a daily basis. Read More »Fense Turns 29
