Video | Carton Tanton – Fake Pretend

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/32488100[/vimeo] I really dug this song, and happily noticed it received video treatment.  The single is from Tantons recent album, Freeclouds.  The atmospheric haziness, and psychedelic and kaleidoscopic mirrored visuals are striking, and mesmerizing just like the song.

Review | Kurt von Stetten – Cyclops

Kurt von Stetten – Codify Finishing his umpteenth album, multi-instrumentalist, bmx dude, and all around fantastic guy… Kurt von Stetten released Cyclops, the follow up to one of my favorite albums from last year Pyramid.  It’s interesting to see the change album to album, and there is certainly one here.  The do it yourself album does not come easy to many.  To say that Kurt is one of my favorite Boston dudes would be downplaying it, and to say that I’m motivated to write lots of great things about him well he’s earned it. What makes Cyclops stand out is…

New Music | Sad Baby Wolf – 8th Level

Sad Baby Wolf – 8th Level Sad Baby Wolf – Survival Guide Sad Baby Wolf is a new project from ex Shins’ keyboardist Marty Crandall. Along with former member Neal Langford and some friends, Sad Baby Wolf was created. The first licks from these guys, is 8th Level and Survival Guide. Two tracks that shimmer in a semi-dreamlike (reverb drizzled) state which feels a little bit Shins but with a more rock focus. 8th Level, is at its core, is the rock-rooted foot stomper, and Survival Guide the more psychedelic slow burner. They display quite a bit of range and…

New Music | Howlin Rain – Phantom in the Valley

Howlin Rain – Phantom In The Valley Howlin Rain is a San Franciscan quintet whose psychedelic and labyrinth-like rock music evokes a feeling of golden ages of rock. Its a classic feel, thats modernized and evolved thanks to the help of Rick Rubin who signed them to his label (American Recordings). Their new single “Phantom in the Valley,” is a seven minute journey through music that evokes a passion and a regard to epic size. The song feels a bit schizophrenic at the turn near 4:30 where it takes a Santana, or maybe Steely Dan-like turn. It’s ambitious to say…

New Music | Diamond Rugs – Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant

Diamond Rugs – Christmas In A Chinese Restaurant

I love christmas music.  I really do.  My love for all things John McCauley related as well has spurred posting this kind of hilarious yet poignant track from music collective Diamond Rugs.  Diamond Rugs, if you haven’t noticed, is John McCauley (Deer Tick), Robbie Crowell (Deer Tick), Ian Saint Pé (The Black Lips), Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate) and Bryan Dufresne (Six Finger Satellite).  The debut offering from the new album, “Christmas In A Chinese Restaurant” is a holiday spirited ballad about a total screw up,  a little bahumbug, and a lonely christmas spent by the protagonist.

Its a sad story, but perfect for a little christmas laugh.  I’m curious to hear the rest of the collaboration, I’m told the album will be much more rockin than this.  Looking forward to hearing what this is all about… but in the spirit of the holidays, I hope you enjoy this track.

Tonight | Casey Black at Think Tank Cambridge

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm5sex9ryfs[/youtube] Tonight, get a chance to hear Brooklyn songwriter, Casey Black. He’s cranking up his Chinatown Bust Tour and he’s on tonight at 8pm. This Nashville born songwriter brings along his storytelling style & dark lyrics to our fair city. He’s a fine songwriter, one that I’ve come to enjoy listening to. His music is straightforward, delicate and accompanies his direct approach to songwriter and craft, he very much reminds me of Josh Ritter. Get yourself out tonight to Think Tank and see a budding songwriter with a fantastic voice. Its a free show, Casey is on at 8 so…
