We are so excited about this show. Kria Brekkan (former lead singer of Mum) and Drawlings will be coming to McWorld on March 24th. Drawlings is the sister of Avey Tare’s Animal Collective and the family blood runs deep as her musicbox-tickertoy music has the same hauntingly beautiful quality. Kria Brekkan has the ability to pull you deep down inside the earth and open up your soul. Her music hits a note with me that goes straight into me. It is uncomfortable but leaves me longing for more. This is going to be a really spectacular show and, personally, I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Iceland may be bankrupt but they haven’t stopped making good music. San Fang Bous is fast paced, laid back folk interspersed with electronic euphoria. He just confirms my believe that if it comes from Iceland, it’s the goods.
San Fang Bous is currently on tour with Mum (what was I saying about Iceland?) and we have tickets to give away for the El Rey show on November 6th. If you’d like to go, shoot an email over to contest@thefmly.com. Music video, download and tour dates after the jump.
Loudspeaker Speaker approach sound collage in a way unique to the current “scene” of experimentation. From dicing 8-bit arpeggios and mixing them within a dance party salad of dub in “Hump Like One Leg’s Shorter” to creating múm-like ambiance in fuzz and glitch-work in “To Tokyo,” I’ve become enamoured with the delicate melodies within each track. This is a voice completely relevant to FMLY that I recommend checking out. If you find yourself interested then find your way to Loudspeaker Speaker Meets Clearly Human, self-described as “rocksteady trash-step glitch hop cinema static dub.” Purchase releases at Broken Twilight.
A lot went down in the indie music community this weekend and slowly but surely I’ll catch you up on all you need to know.
First, Santogold released a new song via RCRD LBL that does not appear on her album; I’m assuming it’s a b-side. Go here to download it.
Los Angeles’ No Age added all tracks from their forthcoming Nouns to be streamed on their MySpace. Click here to listen.
Are Animal Collective racists? Click here to read a load of bullshit.
Kria Brekkan aka wife of Avey Tare (David Portner) from Animal Collective aka ex-Mum member has released a b-side from Wildering entitled “Gömul Vísa Um Vorið.”
CSS released a new song, “Rat Is Dead,” from their forthcoming Donkey. I’ll post both Kria and CSS’s tracks tomorrow as it’s going on 4:30am and there’s still much to do.
I’ll leave you with my Coachella highlight and maybe the best live experience of my lifetime…even considering Daft Punk. For some people there are The Beatles or Metallica, but for me there is Animal Collective and even more, Panda Bear. Being able to see “Comfy In Nautica” develop unexpectedly before my eyes with my best friends right beside me was possibly one of my greatest life experiences. Now that can sight can be shared via Youtube. Please enjoy this clip of Animal Collective playing Panda Bear’s “Comfy In Nautica.”
Stay tuned for tomorrow when I introduce you to L.A.’s enchanting Pocahaunted.
