Higgins, Looker and The Homosexuals play Public Assembly

Gates of the Old CityBy LookerTags: LookerDownload : MP3 Audio Public Assembly you said? What the heck is that? Well, it seems like it's the new name of the art space previously known as Galapagos (you could also call it Taspkag if you want...) There's an interesting all NYC bill tonight over there: Higgins's debut album was our CD of the month some time ago - actually... QUITE some time ago, since the new one they just finished (their sophomore record) took 3 years in the making. The band ...

Best of NYC #29: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

take it while you canBy Legal ReasonsAlbum: caught in the actGenre: rockTags: guitar, rock, The Pains of Being Pure at HeartDownload : MP3 AudioBuy ItThe Pains of Being Pure At Heart are a sweetly swirling shoegazy guitar/bass/keys trio that taps into the layered "college-rock" lushness of 1991. Think a more saccharine version of Jesus & Mary Chain (minus their feedback freakouts) meets a more delicate version of My Bloody Valentine (ditto above) meets the jingle guitar jangle (and name ap ...

Weekly Feature #120a: Elk City

Cherries in the SnowBy Elk CityTags: Elk CityDownload : MP3 AudioWhile I love V.L.A.’s theme song for the Glenn Close TV vehicle ‘Damages’, I think the producers really missed the boat by not using the hopeful but biting dream pop of Elk City’s ‘Silver Lawyers.’ A cut off Elk City’s 2007 release ‘New Believers,’ ‘Silver Lawyers’ is indicative of the treasures and talents of bandleaders Renee LoBue, Ray Ketchem and their stro ...

Trash Bar turns 4 with a 3 day recorded live show

A band by any other name would not smell as sweet. The name White Magic affirms the mystical aura that swirls around the room as their 2007 EP "Dark Stars" (Drag City) dances through the speakers. Billed by New York Magazine as "one of New York's great talents," White Magic's haunting minor chords and odd rhythmic crafting prove to be distinctive in a sea of indiscernible freak folk bands and female pianist-singers. The desperate, spiritual cries of vocalist Mira Billotte (more Grace Slic ...

After cutting his teeth scoring several films including Tarnation, Jesus' Son and The King, Lichtenstein decided to branch out and start creating songs for outside the realm of film. The result is a unique brand of lo-fi, toe-tapping, finger-snapping pop-rock. Due to Lichtenstein's background in film, Camph ...

Much like their diverse backgrounds, Dan Freeman and Ken White, the New York City duo behind Comandante Zero, draw upon their eclectic experiences to create a sound that is as edgy as it is unique.

The result is an original sound influenced by groove, gospel, elements of hip-hop and the dark sounds of the early to mid-80s post-modern movement. - (as posted in The Deli's Open Blog - post your band's entries and Mp3s here).

Weekly Feature #97b: Pterodactyl

Brooklyn’s Pterodactyl are way too spastic and noisy to be grouped into conventional rock sub-genres, but their songs are too well-crafted and memorable to let them be thrown in with the noise-rockers. Take the bizarre soundscapes and chaotic precision of Lightning Bolt and clumsily smush it up with Animal Collective’s more impish, melodic tendencies and you might get close to approximating the crazy, kaleidoscopic sound of Pterodactyl. A spirited email dialogue yielded some r ...

Joe's CMJ day 4 - Earl Greyhound, Santogold + more

Sasha Frere-Jones, the pop critic at The New Yorker, recently wrote a controversial  article (among music nerds) titled "A Paler Shade of White" with the subtitle "How indie rock lost its soul." The piece's basic argument is that the new era of independent rock music has rid itself of any black influence including syncopated rhythms and other elements of soul and blues music. Frere-Jones slights indie behemoths like The Arcade Fire for their "end-of-the-world ...
