EELS Announce Tracklist for New Abum ‘End Times’

eels

I’ve only begun to absorb EELS‘ last album, Hombre Lobo. It’s pretty good, I tell you; got that gritty edgy pop/rock sound familiar to the Southwest, and even bits of Texas (I’m thinking about you, Austin). Well the latest tidbit to come from the band is that they’re gonna drop a new album, their eighth studio release – and that the new album will hit stores January 19! That date is well under one year after the release of Hombre Lobo. Today they announced the tracklist and dropped in the cover art as well. See it beyond the fold… Read More »EELS Announce Tracklist for New Abum ‘End Times’

King Washington [Feature Band]

King Washington

Listen to the songs of King Washington and you’ll be whisked away to another time, when pop/rock was more for the songwriter rather than the producer. Listen to the southwest tinged harmonies that inundate “I Get By” and you’ll hear a blatant reference to the lovable jams of the 70s. Likewise, “Live On” has that lo-fi gritty rock sound of that era, and a matching guitar solo. You can tell these guys like to sing, but they’re also pretty decent musicians. And they’ve got that raw emotion that is so often lacking in the modern genre; just check out “Angela”. It’s not quite garage, but it’s pretty close. Read More »King Washington [Feature Band]

Elin Palmer: Postcard [Album Review]

Elin Palmer

Swedish folk musician turned Denver resident, Elin Palmer varies her song-craft between orchestration and experimentation. Her songs mesh the two arenas of folk, often dabbling in a fairly sizable amount of pop as well. Palmer’s brilliance is partly due to her mystic voice — the Swedish accent is truly what does it. But wherever the unique instrumentation dominates, sheer brilliance ensues. Read More »Elin Palmer: Postcard [Album Review]

The Fenbi International Superstars Visit Seattle

fenbi_international_superstars

What is a band of Irish/worldly gypsy storytellers to do when they reside in one of most musician filled small cities in the world? Well, you probably need to be creative in your displays of talent. And The Fenbi International Superstars have been doing just that in Portland for some time. Their live shows are unparalleled to the often drowsy and depressing rain-based tunes you are likely to hear on any corner of the home for fugitives and refugees. Unlike your average roselander musicians (though each member is not scared to rep Port Townsend as well), these guys are fun! And many fans would attest to the fact that these worldly artists have conquered their hometown. So what’s next you say? Well, obviously that would have to be the Emerald City.

Camphor: Castaway [Video]

Camphor

Your first impression of Camphor‘s latest video may simply be that it seems slightly childish. I mean, the thematic elements behind the “Castaway” video include pirates via toys. Despite the somewhat childish Lego-like element, this video with an actual cast would be horrid. But with the toys it works just fine; in fact, add the foggy smoke and it’s pretty damn cool.

Daniel Johnston

The Devil & Daniel Johnston [Film]

The life of Daniel Johnston is one of legend. Were this not a documented case, one would likely not believe it as true – the story would make a great movie (not just documentary) or book. In some ways, Daniel Johnston can be considered the Forrest Gump of the music industry, having gone from an unknown artist and musician to one of mythical fame; whose disabilities never overshadowed his genius.

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

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
