CD Review: Wighat — The Hum of All Things

WighatThe Hum of All ThingsSelf-released By Eileen Tilson Wighat’s latest album, The Hum of All Things, is as confusing and complicated as its cover. The EP contains a booklet that looks like it came right out of the pages of singer Rubi Cuautle’s journal, and is encased in a weblike envelope with a skull cut […]

CD Review: Slaraffenland — We’re On Your Side

Slaraffenland We’re On Your Side Hometapes It’s a rare find, but Denmark’s Slaraffenland truly sounds unlike anyone else. The all-male vocal harmonies on the band’s second U.S.-released LP bring to mind a men’s choir or barbershop quartet, bass-heavy, on-pitch and gorgeous.

Live Review: The Fiery Furnaces @ Variety Playhouse, August 21

By Ben Grad Noted experimental rockers The Fiery Furnaces played the Variety Playhouse last week with the most basic of basic set-ups: drums and bass, while Mathew Friedberger lead with guitar and Eleanor Friedberger covered most of the vocal duties. Keyboard and organ were noticeably absent on stage; and considering how much I'm Going Away […]

CD Review: Datarock — Red

DatarockRedNettwerk By Micah McLain The Norwegian duo in the flashy red tracksuits have returned. Red, the followup to 2005's Datarock Datarock, finds the band paying homage to the '80s and questioning our current society's obsession with technology. While none of the tracks on Red approach the sheer funk and danceability of the massively ad-friendly "FaFaFa" […]
