glitter

Here are the two newest No Age songs from their soon-to-blow-minds LP, Everything In Between, out on Sub Pop September 28th. These songs are also part of a single that is being put out on 7 and 12 inch formats (the latter for DJs?). No Age as always has kept us happy with their amazingly dissonant brand of two-instrument-90s-indie rock. We actually saw them last year at Funfunfunfest and if you’ve yet to see those pictures, check them out here.

fun fun fun fest//day # 1

FFFF

For our first “all access” coverage of any sort of music festival, I’d have to call it a great success. The line ups for both days was absolutely rad. The weather? Completely dichotomous. As for day no. 1, nothing but clear skies and and Spring-like temperatures (we’ll get to day no. 2 later). From the laid-back of chillwave tunes of Neon Indian to the circus show antics of Les Savy Fav, A. Jayne, once again, was able to capture the FunFunFun with pinpoint accuracy . Oh, and I threw in my fair share of pics as well (mine are “sans watermark”). Enjoy…

weekends//weekends

weeknds

Weekends are probably destined to be the ‘next big thing’ out of the Wham City/Baltimore area with their self-titled debut, Weekends. Here’s to hoping that they don’t get caught up in all of the hype that may or may not come to fruition, but I am definitely expecting a good amount of exposure coming their way. The duo of Brendan Sullivan and Adam Lempel create a sonic soundscape of noise-rock with minimal vocal presence. Likely comparisons come in the form of Ponytail and No Age. Two of my favorites are below. Oh and play it loud!

Weekends – Summer Knights
Weekends – Alligator Feet

Update: Found a cool bit of quotes and more background on these fellas here.

fruit sand//the renaissance

renaissance

So what is the deal with the past few bands I’ve been listening to being unable to buy a pack of smokes and calling it quits on their current projects?! Fruit Sand, abrasive noise rock from some Oakland household shares some obvious similarities with CA neighbors Abe Vigoda and No Age. Despite the variety of noises and instruments that are laden throughout Carter Mullen’s tunes, he is a one man GarageBand sideshow. He even admits to using the Wavves method of adding distortion a la the same program. The Renaissance, his latest LP, uses multi derivations of drum loops that give the music more of a punk-y feeling rather than just a face full of droning shoegaze like distortion. Although Mullen has claimed to have put this project on hiatus, he has started a new endeavor in (very similar) Zebra Stripes. Guess Fruit Sand just wasn’t cutting it as a legit band name anymore. One of my favorite tracks from his LP, “Not Another Singer”, while lead by a simple crash-snare-bass loop is backed with a complexity of fuzz and indecipherable lyrics that will make your head explode. The Renaissance will be available later this Summer from our pals over at Neon Aztec.
