Best Coast - In My Room

whiteguyswithbeards:

Bethany Cosentino, California’s easy-breezy beachpop queen known as Best Coast, just dropped a 7” entitled Make You Mine on Group Tightener. The four tracks on it are as gorgeous as ever. It’s music that makes one forget how god damn cold it’s about to get (or already is on some days). Here’s the record’s opener, “In My Room.” You can scoop up the 7” here.

Tomorrow night we play at Market Hotel. Last show for a short spell.

This should be an amazing show! Great bands, all. Though, a 5-band bill? Does this happen a lot up in NYC?

Just watched a large part of Crystal Voyager last night and it blew my friggin’ mind. The amazing closing sequence is just basically long, super slo-mo gorgeous 35mm shots of waves and sunlight set to the insanely good 23-minute epic Pink Floyd song “Echos”.

It’s so hard to explain a film like this, and I couldn’t find a clip on the YouTubes, but if you have the means, I highly recommend getting into it.

Pitchfork: Jack White Releases Carl Sagan Auto-Tune Record :

…the singer/guitarist/label magnate is apparently fed up with Weezer’s stranglehold on WTF music news, so he’s releasing a 7” of “A Glorious Dawn” on his own Third Man Records November 9. “A Glorious Dawn” is a recentYouTube hit mixed by composer John Boswell featuring spaced-out eggheads Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking talking about the great beyond beneath a layer of AutoTune.

Random thought: Some bands create far better graphic design/style/photos than they do music. And vice versa, other bands make superb sounds, but have such terrible overall aesthetic. Is it rhetorical to ask which is worse?

Dirty Beaches - Coast to Coast

Really diggin’ this dark, sanguine track.

As Pinglewood sez: “Under the numb November night, Dirty Beaches crawl slowly from our static-tuned television, drag their wretched bones towards us, and mutter dark, urgent warnings. This song is scary, dudes.”

Honeymoon Music sez: “Just in time for the changing of the seasons, we bring to you some heavy new tunes from Niagara Falls. This is a split CDR with Annapurna Illusion which has been released by the excellent German label, Amid The Waves.

Niagara has two long-form tracks on this limited edition, hand-made release. Housed in deluxe gatefold, chipboard dvd style packaging with color insert. We only have a few of these, so grab em while they’re hot. You know, in the Shop.”

Scoop: Arcade Fire's Third Album

thenotes:

A very reliable and hard-to-please source of mine recently had a chance to drop by the studio and hear early versions of songs from Arcade Fire’s forthcoming third LP, and he promised to give me a sense of what to expect. These are some phrases he used:

“Fuller”

“More strings”

“More upbeat than Neon Bible”

“There’s a lot of Neil Young in Win’s voice”

“If these tracks were any indication, the album will be very, very good”

Seriously wicked album art for the new Small Black single release. Transparent is “delighted to present it physically on 7 perfect inches of truth + hope + pop music’s immortal promise this month.” Can’t go wrong with that.

FELA: KING OF THE INVISIBLE ART

by Jay Babcock

Fela Anikulapo Kuti: 77 albums, 27 wives, over 200 court appearances. Harassed, beaten, tortured, jailed. Twice-born father of Afrobeat. Spiritualist. Pan-Africanist. Commune King. Composer, saxophonist, keyboardist, dancer. Would-be candidate for the Nigerian presidency. There will never be another like him. This is the sensational story of Fela, the greatest pop musician of the 20th century, featuring the words of Fela’s friends, fans and the Ebami Eda himself.
