Wow what a weekend for music in Bloomington (and beyond)! Besides the omnipresent Lotus World Music Festival, Jason witnessed the almighty GonerFest in Memphis TN, taking in just about every underground garage/punk band there is right now. Be gentle with him. And then there was the never-ending supply of top-notch touring acts gracing our stages - Endless Boogie, Thee Oh Sees, Ben Folds, Immortal Technique, Jack Rose, Built to Spill and Sufjan tonight! (WAAAAY sold out!) Speaking of which, ALL tickets are now CASH ONLY. Sorry. Please plan your ATM visits appropriately. As if that wasn't enough, this week has a ton of great shows too: Todd Barry is at the Funny Bone all weekend, Collections of Colonies of Bees (the non-Bon Iver half of Volcano Choir) is at the Bishop Saturday, Indian Jewelry at the Bishop on Monday. We just keep feedin you and feedin you and feedin you... ................................................................... NEW ARRIVALS for the Week of 9/29/2009 ................................................................... Anti-Pop Consortium - Flourescent Black (Big Dada) Formed in 1997 and united under the credo "disturb the equilibrium." APC came together as a divergent force to resist the evil empire Hip Hop was slowly becoming. With their three vocalists (Priest, Beans and M.Sayyid), this represents maybe the group's best work yet, a 17 track album that moves through moods, concepts, beats and rhymes with the mind-bending ease which has always characterised their output, but expands their work out further in every direction. The Avett Brothers - I and Love and You (American) ................................................................... The Avett Bros' major label debut, produced by Grammy award winner Rick Rubin. The album tracks are diverse and unique - ranging from striking ballads to high-energy romps. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Emotionalism, I and Love and You is sure to be embraced as a new favorite by longtime and newfound fans alike. Boredoms - Super Roots 10 12" (Thrill Jockey) ................................................................... Boredoms have continually pushed sonic boundaries and inspired musicians for over 20 years. Their albums and their performances defy categorization, each one a completely unique event. After only being released on CD in Japan, Thrill Jockey is proud to bring Super Roots 10 to the US. This is the first Super Roots release available on domestic vinyl! The album comes with a color poster that features artwork from EYE. Boredoms fans can expect a new studio album due out in 2010! Cymbals Eat Guitars - Why There are Mountains (+1) ................................................................... Both stark reality and poetic numinousness pervade Why There Are Mountains, often united as one, infusing a vision of our country traversed on "pulsing arterials" with mystery and wonder, restoring meaning to the phrase "American Wilderness". It could be one of those records that sticks with you, that you return to again and again - the type of record that defines many months or year or two of your human experience. Prepare yourself to love again. Dawes - North Hills (ATO) ................................................................... New album from the LA-based Americana quartet. Dawes seem to get all their musicianship and expression across through the inherent nature of the instruments. They seem to have their utmost respect for the song itself, only stepping out when a song calls for it, relying on the other to keep the holes filled and the ship sailing smoothly, letting the music reflect their own personal relationships to the listener. Ghostface Killah - Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry (Def Jam) ................................................................... Dubbed by the New York Times "the most lovable rapper in the world: a wounded warrior with raps to match his speeding heartbeat," the Wu-Tang Clan ironman - Ghostdini (aka Ghostface Killah) returns under a new guise for his 6th Def Jam album (and 10th major label album), in which he attracts an A-list of duet partners including John Legend, Fabolous, Raheem DeVaughn, Lloyd, Estelle, and others. The first single from the album is "Baby" featuring Raheem DeVaughn. Gary Higgins - Seconds (Drag City) ................................................................... A beautiful acoustic-based record featuring careful, melancholy arrangements in the tradition set by his famous previous record - but with a few unpredictable musical touches. Seconds weaves black threads of lyrical reflection into its sleeve in the short-lived Higgins tradition. His was never a hippie-dippy perspective - back in the day, his songs featured a thoughtful, but worldweary, occasionally even paranoid perspective. Accompanied by a couple Red Hash players as well as his son, he's put together a bold and colorful statement of where he's at today. Javelina - Beasts Among Sheep (Translation Loss) ................................................................... On the heels of their crushing debut, Philadelphia's Javelina have outdone themselves and furthered expanded the aural soundscape of brutal and sludgey music with their devastating sophomore release. This time around, they enlisted the talents of Sanford Parker (Minsk, Pelican, Nachtmystium) to help produce the brutally. Embodying the massive sludgy nature of Buzzoven and Eyehategod with the raw punk intensity of His Hero Is Gone and the straight-forward nature of High On Fire help make this and aggressive and death-defying album. Karen O & the Kids - Where the Wild Things Are OST (Interscope) ................................................................... As singer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O is in your face, vulnerable, obnoxious, tender, exciting - a self-proclaimed "spazoid." To film director Spike Jonze, Karen O and her music possess something of a child-like innocence, a guileless charm that put her exactly on the right emotional wavelength to sonically capture the film, be it a tender moment or a wild rumpus. She enlisted friends and musicians she believed had a intuition that would bolster her intent to marry sound to vision. These include members of Deerhunter, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Raconteurs, Dead Weather, Liars, The Bird and the Bee, Gris Gris and an untrained children's choir. Robert Earl Keen - The Rose Hotel (Lost Highway) ................................................................... With his latest Lost Highway album, Keen re-confirms his place among the Lone Star State's great storytellers, capable of painting rich, poignant landscapes worthy of Cormac McCarthy and spinning satirical yarns that'd do Kinky Friedman proud. The disc's rough-hewn tone - it's one of the more immediate, organic efforts in Keen's varied catalog - emphasizes both ends of that emotional spectrum. Langhorne Slim - Be Set Free (Kemado) ................................................................... One of the most endearing and standout qualities of Slim's live shows is the sureness that one is always entering a genuine Gospel-like musical experience full of little miracles. Be Set Free has captured this charisma and spirit - the "hold your heart" moments and "raise a drink" dance vibes shine throughout. Langhorne's stronger than ever vocals lead the journey blending his poetry through the beautiful chaos and bearing a wisdom that reflects a broken heart battling the perils of true hope. Slim has truly reached a point of light where these songs come from wide-eyed maturity and mastered craft. Melvins - Chicken Switch (Ipecac) ................................................................... A 15-song remix CD with a twist. Unlike usual remix CDs where the remixer is given a single track to work with, for Chicken Switch each remixer was given a full album to work with and pull from to create their track (and in some cases, more than one full album was used as source material). The song names were also newly selected by their remixer. Features remixes from Boredomes, Matmos, Lee Ronaldo, Merzbow, Acid Mothers Temple, Sunroof, VVM, and much more! Om - God is Good (Drag City) ................................................................... Om have done their time in the desert and ever-changing are returned. Today they say God is Good. Are you surprised? Perhaps you've haven't understood what Om was saying to you. But perhaps you felt something It's true that the one way pursued by Om leads in many different directions. It is a mystic path. Songs come from innumerable sources filtering through the external and the internal. Om albums are rituals personal convictions transcripted into verse. Playing the music is visceral emotional a catharsis of soul and spirit. Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions - Through the Devil Softly (Nettwerk) ................................................................... Since the release of Mazzy Star's debut, Hope Sandoval has defined the sound and style of California psychedelic dream pop. The world took notice when Fade Into You hit the airwaves. Sandoval's trademark vocals and beauty helped to make her a modern day music icon. Now the revered singer returns with her long awaited sophomore album. The sought after vocalist has collaborated with artists from across the musical landscape: Jesus & Mary Chain, Air, Death in Vegas, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack and Bert Jansch. The project continues the laid-back sound they are renowned for and places Sandoval's sensuous, hypnotic voice in the forefront. VA - Black Box (Flingco) ................................................................... Love the Buddha Machine? The Black Box is a hand held tombstone, an obsidian device with loops from Cristal, Haptic and Wrnlrd and spoken word pieces from Annie Feldmeier Adams. These artists have created deep dark and disturbing sound constructs specifically for this project. There are nine tracks total. The Vinyl Zone (get into the groove!) ...................................................................
