Cotton Jones: Tall Hours In The Glowstream (Vinyl Reissue)
Michael Nau has recorded and released music under a few different names throughout his career, including his own. He came to my attention early on with the 2005 release of Hello, Dear Wind by Page France. A few years later, he would for Cotton Jones with Whitney McGraw Nau (though the Nau was not her…
Ty Segall’s “Black Magick” Will Save Us All
Yesterday, I touted the new forthcoming LP by WOODS and mentioned their last three albums have graced my best of lists for those years. Ty Segall beats that, joining the top 5 four years running. Not too long ago, Ty Segall’s “Black Magick” hit the airwaves. The track is off his new Suicide Squeeze single…
Gap Dream: An Interview with Gabriel Fulvimar
I’ve been crushing on Gap Dream‘s self-titled LP quite a bit of late. You can read about it here and here. So I figured it was time to bust out my question-writing skills and grill main Gap Dream man Gabriel Fulvimar. The following interview is the result.
Peace: Feature Band
Obsession comes in many forms, even when targeted so narrowly as to be about music. The latest comes from Vancouver, BC post-punk band Peace, on the verge of releasing their sophomore LP on Suicide Squeeze Records. The album will hit stores in mid October.
This Will Destroy You: Black Dunes
“Black Dunes” by This Will Destroy You is a song entirely dark and ghostly. Beginning with subtle sounds, this post-rock meets shoegaze band out of Texas does a great job creating a haunting melody, and their new video for “Black Dunes” capitalizes on their ability to create an eerie song. Malcolm Elijah overlaps black and…
The Coathangers: Hurricane [mp3]
The Coathangers know how to craft a mighty infectious hook, be it strummed wildly on a gritty, grungy guitar or screamed near illegibly into a microphone. “Hurricane”, the first track off the band’s forthcoming LP Larceny & Old Lace, is a perfect example of this mastery. Let’s face it – a song like this proves…
Cotton Jones: Glorylight & Christie [mp3]
Page France’s departure from existence was bittersweet. On one hand, Michael Nau’s original baby was no more — and after a few stellar releases in Hello, Dear Wind, the Pear / Sister Pinecone double EP, and …And The Family Telephone, he had built a steady and consistent style of folk-pop with a psychedelic edge. On…
Russian Circles: Malko [Track Review]
Russian Circles return with “Malko” off their new LP Geneva, continuing their immense, epic instrumentals with added intricacy and a renewed sense of direction. “Malko” finds Russian Circles initially taking their metal riffs down a notch but never once letting up on the ferocity of their earlier sound. As the opening riff drops out, the…
Cotton Jones [Show Preview]
In all honesty, I kind of miss Page France. But Michael Nau’s latest project, Cotton Jones is a more than viable replacement. Filled with a baroque-ish style pop, and dipped in a light coat of psychedelia, Cotton Jones boasts harmony male/female vocals quite unlike Nau’s earlier concoction.
