GENEVA JACUZZI

GENEVA JACUZZI – LOVE CABOOSE Directed by Travis Peterson 2008

You know when you have that deal with your girlfriend / boyfriend that if you ever get the chance to sleep with someone famous you can? Like Scarlet Johanson or Crispin Glover.
I really don’t know to much about this girl, except that she has collaborated with [...]

SPEAK MY LANGUAGE

John Maus, when he’s taking time out from Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, has found the time to release some great solo records. 2007’s Love is Real was described as ‘an upbeat Joy Division’ which isn’t true but it gives you an idea of the sound. Like being deep in an an ocean of synths where [...]

GOLDEN SILVERS

Winners of Glastonbury Unsigned 2008, London based Golden Silvers have fast become my most anticipated ‘band-to-watch’. I heard ‘Arrows of Eros’ about 6 weeks ago and was instantly in love.
Summery doo-wop-brit-pop with soaring harmonies, a bouncing bass line and a simple yet infectious synth riff make it a strong early contender for my ‘Song of [...]

ANIMALS, PANDAS, CATS AND...

Animal Collectives 07 album, Strawberry Jam, was a strong contender for my album of the year. That and drummer Panda Bear’s solo album, Person Pitch. So its no surprise I got really excited hearing news of a new AC album early 09. Named ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’, the album features some really trippy artwork (above).
Tracklisting:
1. “In [...]

DFA

The reason I have loved DFA so sincerely for such a long time is because they have always stayed true to their sound, always consistently pushing it to new levels, releasing/discovering some amazing acts (alot through their Death From Abroad offshoot label) and never losing out to over commercialization of the brand. Mock & Toof [...]

THE G.L.O.V.E.S ARE OFF

The remix will be featured on the single along with remixes by Sinden, Juan Maclean and Breakbot. Although i’m not the biggest fan [...]

Top work on the new birth, she scrubs up alright ey! And welcome Gold Lion to our team.
In music news, I’ve been showing my age lately by diving into more and more motown and funk classics, there’s just so much [...]

BRING THE NOISE

Hi wavers, i forgot to introduce myself last post and now it looks like JD beat me to the punch anyway. I’m Gold Lion and I’ll try my best to bring some waves that crash a little different on these here shores.
Starting now!
Been digging some noisy lo-fi electronic post-punk/art rock for the last few days [...]

THE DEVILS CRAYON

Welcome new blog design and welcome new contributor: Gold Lion (below)! Now on with the music.
I’m really, really digging the Wild Beasts debut LP Limbo, Panto. They were one of the bands on my to-do list for a while but never got around to getting it. I wish I had of earlier. Basically Wild Beasts [...]

HORROR/RUSSIA

Miami Horror’s ‘Don’t Be On With Her’, described by my brother as ‘that Madonna song with no vocals’, has been reworked with vocals! (but still with no Madonna) for the long awaited Bravado EP, out November 15th.
Glad to know he’s not dead after all.
MP3: Miami Horror – Don’t Be On With Her
‘Future Sounds Of Russia‘, [...]

VEGA

I know all your favourite blogs (GvsB , PT and DD) have already covered ex-Ghosthustler Alan Palomo’s new project VEGA but he deserves the Waves at Night treatment. His first master-piece, “All Too Vivid” will be released very shortly on his label Vogue College Records; the 12″ containing four original tracks (including “All Too Vivid”) [...]

RAVEN

Turbo’s next installment has just flown in and landed quite recently. I am indeed talking about Proxy’s next huge thing “Raven”. The original has already been flying around the interwebs for sometime now (which I suggest you get ahold of as the breakdown is quite epic). That being said, the original is the gem of [...]

FRENCH FRIDAY: LE KNIGHT...

French Friday is back and it is indeed a mighty fine evening to re-launch the sucker.
Le Knight Club is made up of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Eric Chedeville. Guy-Man is of course 1/2 of Daft Punk and Eric aka. Rico the Wizzard is a co-founder of Pumpking Records (more on Rico with his new work [...]

PUTIN’ ON THE RITZ

After a lot of late nights, panic attacks and tantrums… all i can think is …Thank fuck we don’t have to look at the word press default anymore! Id like to thank Patch (also huge props to Steve for helping out) for all your hard work scripting this bad boy, all the other writers for [...]

ONE FULL YEAR

It has been exactly one year since JD and I started this blog. I was actually looking around lastweek for some backed up MSN logs of when JD and I discussed music blogs (which lead to us starting this humble little blog). Little did we know that our idea would actually hit off into something [...]
