Take a tour of Portland on Grandhorse's New Video "Short Drive with a Kidnapper."


Watch & Share Grandhorse's New Video For "Short Drive with a Kidnapper" Premiered on Diffuser.fm Yesterday! -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jyNGaCBzZ8
 

Featuring Y La Bamba's Ben Meyercord running around Portland trying to find the party, "Short Drive with a Kidnapper" is the first video from Grandhorse's Debut LPPortraiturefolio. According to Grandhorse drummer Devon Shirley, "'Short Drive with A Kidnapper' is what happens when you put Ben Meyercord, weird friends in costumes, lots of cheap beer, a fog machine, a ginger and a Russian video editor together. Magical."

Check it out for yourself at the link above, and make sure to stay for the party at the end of the video!

And while we're at it, have you heard their new record, Portraiturefolio, yet? If not, you can stream and download the Portland quartet's new full-length for free here:http://grandhorsepdx.bandcamp.com/.

"The combo’s recent album ‘Portraiturefolio’ brings to mind the psych-pop of groups like Grandaddy and Pond and the fuzzed-out guitar stylings of vintage Superchunk and Archers of Loaf. Basically, if you dig ’90s indie rock as much as we do, these dudes could be your next favorite band." Diffuser.fm


More about Grandhorse:
Grandhorse didn’t start as a band – it was just two musicians living together, drinking coffee, playing for each other in a dingy wet-smelling armpit of a basement in the Spring of 2012. Guitarist Adam Steinfink and drummer Devon Shirley sometimes referred to Grandhorse as a “project,” some safe term to nestle between the too-big aspirations of “band” and the idle frat-boy bullshit called “jamming.” For months this Grandhorse project moved forward, a couple two-man shows, writing uncomplicated pop songs and not getting too hung up on any one for longer than it felt right. And it felt good for a while, pajamas and coffee and camaraderie in the stinky basement. But the project started to slow down, need more than two guys could give it. So David Lloyd brought his guitar over and everybody was like “hey, yeah okay, this feels better” which lasted for a few weeks. Then vocalist/bassist Adam Smith dropped in and everybody was like “hey, yeak okay, this feels even better than that last good feeling.” And that day, in the humid crotch of a Portland rental house, four guys started to refer to this Grandhorse project as a band and high-fived about it.
A year later, Grandhorse is releasing Portraiturefolio, an album of straight-ahead songs built around venerable pop conventions. The vocals are mercifully un-ironic, propelled on a skintight beat and surrounded on all sides by guitar melodies that weave, fall behind, butt heads and arc over one another. You’re hard-pressed to find any moment that could constitute a phreak out or lapse in control and restraint – on “Short Drive with a Kidnapper,” the instruments complement the action of the narrative, like a soundtrack to its own movie; the saccharine melodies of “Heartstrings” are tempered by strong images, some world-weariness, and great guitar work. But it’s not until the album closer “Petrichor” that you figure out that what you really enjoyed about Portraiturefolio is simplicity dressed in a steady, emotional patience. It’s a consciously constructed, sonically even record that showcases what happens when a band puts coffee, pajamas, and communication ahead of swagger and showmanship.

Nowness premieres film for Baby Alpaca "Sea of Dreams" (Turbotito Remix) from new Strictly Sexual EP out 3/2 via Atlas Chair

BABY ALPACA ANNOUNCES STRICTLY SEXUAL EP ON 3/2 VIA ATLAS CHAIR

NOWNESS PREMIERES "SEA OF DREAMS" (TURBOTITO REMIX) FILM DIRECTED BY CHRIS KITTRELL HERE



 Strictly Sexual EP includes remixes by Druzzi from The Rapture, Turbotito, WYNN, Alex Suarez & Illyse Singer, Shaun J. Wright & Alinka and TheArtSnobs

Live show: 3/5 - New York @ Rockwood Music Hall
+ more dates to be announced

After releasing their critically acclaimed self-titled debut EP in June, Baby Alpaca has spent time in Los Angeles (opening for Best Coast) and recorded and played in Seattle, Portland, Chris' hometown Cincinnati and their home in New York for the CMJ Festival. The band is working on a full-length album, but before that they'll release the Strictly Sexual EP on March 2nd via Atlas Chair. The EP consists of remixes by Shaun J. Wright & Alinka, Druzzi from The Rapture, Alex Suarez & Illyse / aka asis, Turbotito, TheArtSnobs and WYNN from Twin Shadow and showcases a wide emotional landscape around the gorgeous original song structures.

Today, NOWNESS has premiered the Chris Kittrell directed music video for "Sea of Dreams" (Turbotito Remix) which you can see HERE.
 
Last year, Vice's NOISEY premiered the official "Wild Child" music video HERE (Vimeo staff pick HERE and YouTube HERE) directed by Brian Leckrone and Adrian Stucker in the outskirts of Palm Springs in between the Coachella weekends.  You can hear two brand new tracks "Island of Love" and "When I See You Again" in their recent Daytrotter session HERE. 
 
When trying to identify the music made by NYC band Baby Alpaca, it’s perhaps easier to try and figure out what the music is NOT. Judging by the music on the band’s first proper EP, it’s easy to say that this is definitely not your standard indie rock fare: an autoharp is involved, as well as both live and programmed beats and a smattering of guitars. The music eschews any musical tropes typically assigned to wispy bedroom electronica, beardy folk music, or the new wave of alternative R&B, but it could perhaps exist as a distant cousin to all of those things. Buoyed aloft by the winsome vocals of front man Chris Kittrell and shaped by the guitar styling of Zach McMillan, Baby Alpaca make music that is both romantic, vaguely tropical, and sufficiently futuristic—music that seems born of a million dramatic road trips that might provide a suitable soundtrack for a million more.
 
The four songs on the Baby Alpaca EP make for a striking, remarkably blissed-out statement of intent. The EP’s first single, “Sea of Dreams” (whose Dada-esque video premiered earlier this year via NPR.org) is as fitting an introduction as any band could hope to have: all echo-chamber vocals that seem to be haunted by reverby guitar lines and gently-played piano notes that drift through the song like ghosts. Tracks like “Wild Child” and “On The Roam” evoke a palpable sense of modern restlessness, something that permeates all of Baby Alpaca’s music. It’s a feeling that Kittrell attributes to his own meandering youth—a time spent experimenting, studying, travelling, and trying to locate his own creative voice.
 
“A lot of this music is about running way,” explains Kittrell, “I don’t mean that in a escapist kind of way, but more in terms of exploration. So much of my life has been about running away from tradition and traditional ways of thinking, which seeps into the music we make together. It’s about discovery. It’s not so much about running away from something bad, but rather running towards something really beautiful.”
 
Baby Alpaca continues to turn heads with their sublime use of sound and vision, both in a live setting and via the creation of new songs and video productions.

Recent praise for Baby Alpaca:
"...the first single, “Sea of Dreams,” an ethereal torch song that showcases Mr. Kittrell’s haunting KD-Lang-esque vocals, exploded on the Web." - New York Times
 
"...I love the threat of a trance song lurking beneath such sleepy-eyed vocals..." - FADER
 
“…Sea of Dreams, which channels The Smiths with it’s dreamy, light dada-rock production - think soft, romantic rock that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. His debut EP ranges from playful to emotional, but always leaves you impressed.“ - Disco Naïveté
 
"My dreams are never like Chris Kitrell's "Sea of Dreams," but I wish they were." - NPR's Bob Boilen

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT DEFEND YOURSELF:
"Even as Barlow offers up clear-eyed postmortems of a wrecked marriage, Defend Yourself exudes the live-wire energy of a vital band brought back from the brink." NPR
"A private project became a public one, and this is its legitimate new chapter."
The New York Times
"...great, gritty new songs and refreshing upgrades to their idiosyncratic aesthetic." Exclaim!
"Fuck yeah, we still need indie-rock bands!" SPIN
"So, yeah, it’s not surprising that a band has changed after 14 years without a record, but the changes here, the subtlety of them, are bracing and make Defend Yourself not just a welcome return, but a shot in the arm for the band, the listeners, and indie rock at large." Pop Matters
"...his muse hasn’t run out of ways to torture him yet." Pitchfork
"That a band can successfully experiment after such an extended break is a testament to their self-preservation." FILTER
"Luckily for everyone - from the peach-fuzz hipsters who claim to have witnessed the original incarnation of the band in the flesh, to those who actually did - Defend Yourself is virtually filler-less, unlike so many filler-hiding-behind-one-good-song returns." MAGNET
"It harks back to the classic sounds of Sebadoh - tender Barlow ballads, balls to the wall Loewenstein rockers - essentially the yin and yang that endeared the band to so many fans throughout the 90's, with the artistic growth you'd expect from a band 14 years removed from their last album." Under The Radar
"A band maintaining the same sound after 14 years is not usually a positive. With Sebadoh, it's a gift."eMusic
Indie rock pioneers Sebadoh have announced the release of their first new LP in 14 years, entitled “Defend Yourself.” The longtime project of Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and Bob D'Amico, will release their new full-length album on September 17th via Joyful Noise Recordings (in North America) and Domino Records (in UK / Europe).
Ending a substantial hiatus for the band, “Defend Yourself” is more of an organic reformation than a comeback album. In the words of Lou Barlow, “We were always going to make another record. There was never any point where we looked at each other and said, ‘That’s it. We’re done.’ We never actually quit at all-- we’ve been making music this whole time.”
Barlow, Loewenstein, and D’Amico haven’t wasted their musical talent over the last several years (as evidenced by solo albums, Dinosaur Jr., Fiery Furnaces, Folk Implosion, etc.), however, the Sebadoh name hasn’t surfaced since 1999. Historically speaking, Sebadoh albums have paralleled momentous experiences in Barlow’s life-- and this recording is no different. “Defend Yourself” is saturated with songs of heartache relating to the divorce from his wife and partner of 25 years. According to Barlow, “Your greatest victories and your most crushing defeats have a tendency to give birth to one other.”
The new album also marks a return to the self-recorded DIY ethos of early Sebadoh albums (“Sebadoh III”, “Bakesale,” etc.). A handful of sour experiences with major labels led Sebadoh to self-record and self-produce their new album. “We did ‘Defend Yourself’ the only way it could have been done: on the cheap and all by ourselves,” Barlow states. Though this is hardly the band’s first experience with home recording, technological advances beyond the 4-track cassette have allowed “Defend Yourself” to easily rank among Sebadoh’s most sonically-engaging albums to date

Chondritic Sound announces new releases for Hive Mind, Pure Ground + more

CHONDRITIC SOUND PRESENTS:
NEW RELEASES FROM HIVE MIND,
PURE GROUND, SLEEP CLINIC
+ MORE

 
Chondritic sound is pleased to announce the following titles which are now available via http://www.chondriticsound.com




Hive Mind
Beneath Triangle and Crescent
http://www.chondriticsound.com/discography/ch-271-hive-mind-beneath-triangle-and-crescent-lp/

Some of the most dark and industrious Hive Mind material to date, originally released on Heath Moerland's Fag Tapes imprint back in 2008. The more structured and rhythmic construction of these pieces is infused with an inspiration taken from 90s German and French heavy electronics projects like Dagda Mor, Inade, Derniere Volonte and Les Joyaux de la Princesse. Recorded heavily under the crushing presence of opiates, even the song titles themselves play a part in casting the negative shadow of this release. This contains some of Hive Mind's earliest forays into both melody and industrial rhythmic elements as the pieces drag, thud and shiver with a distinct energy not found in much of the earlier drone work. Auto-melodic tones come paired at times with crude, hand-hammered slews of notes while Holger's trademark synth-drone rumbles beneath like a kept beast. Each piece progresses to nastier and darker territory, erupting and collapsing at the end of the title track.

Standard edition of 413 on black vinyl.
Special edition of 86 on green vinyl with additional 20 minute cassette.
Artists edition of 23 on green vinyl with signed, numbered painting and additional 20 minute cassette.




Pure Ground
Protection
http://www.chondriticsound.com/discography/ch-285-pure-ground-protection-c23/

Pure Ground's follow-up to their debut "Daylight" finds the duo exploring darker, noisier territory with four new songs. Blurring the line between minimal synth and industrial music with a focus on external strife as it related inwards.




Siobhan
Omega Stamp
http://store.chondriticsound.com/product/siobhan-omega-stamp-c32-ch-283

Hailing from the ruts and ruins of America's failed city of Industry, Siobhan's brand of rhythmic techno/industrial has more in common with the present decay and decline in Detroit than it does with the genre's innovators which the city is best known for. Siobhan opened the Detroit show I played last year, the first time I'd visited the city since moving to LA, and made quite an impression on me. Play is pressed and the lights dim as machined beats get smeared across the concrete with off-kilter loops by a cacophony of hum and his. Siobhan's Travis Galloway has crafted motorik musik as dismal and grimy as it is inspiring. After essential releases on conspirator and his own All Gone Tapes imprint, Chondritic is proud to present to you: OMEGA STAMP.




Sleep Clinic
A Chance, A Curse
http://www.chondriticsound.com/discography/ch-282-sleep-clinic-a-chance-a-curse-2xc47-booklet/

Debut release from this project, one of the many that Jeff Swearengin has his hands in. I met Jeff at Show Cave (RIP) shortly after I moved to LA and we drank many a beer over our love of industrial music. My first exposure to his work was a trio of pieces he made in the wake of Peter Christopherson's passing and I was captivated at first listen. This release has been a long time in the works, the base tracks recorded before we met and re-worked over the past few years. "A Chance, A Curse" is over an hour and a half of dark, involved and enveloping drone music. Seamlessly blending the use of analog and digital technology to create atmospheres which evoke emotion without the use of melody.




156
Taking a Look at a Moment Lost
http://www.chondriticsound.com/discography/ch-279-156-taking-a-look-at-a-moment-lost-c32/

Cavern-borne ritualistic industrial music, with the pervasive atmosphere of damp, rotten sweat and incense. Bells chime, candles are lit and curses are muttered as drones swell and reverberate. Field recordings from another time, another place, not quite like the one we occupy. The tools are sharpened, the pyre is crackling, time stands still. 156 is Adel Souto.

The New Royales Share "Misdemeanor" (Foster Sylvers cover), Covers Mixtape Out Now

The New Royales

Post & Share: “Misdemeanor” (Foster Sylvers Cover) MP3

Freedom’s For The Brave Out Now
 
“ ...adding in big beats, subtracting the scuzzy guitars, smoothing out the chorus, and having Alcock give his best Jack-White-yelping impression." – NYLON
 
"The New Royales’ diverse makeup ... does add to the uniqueness of their sound but their musical boundaries are their own and there, there are no borders."
– Ladygunn
 
“…a sticky indie edit of the old-school, feel-groovy joint.” – VIBE
 

 
The New Royales have a background as interesting as the music they create together. The band just releasedFreedom’s For The Brave: an album of covers featuring some of their various influences, including tracks byDepeche Mode, The White Stripes, Jefferson Airplane & more.
 
The band previously unveiled their interpretation of The Monks’ classic, “Drugs In My Pocket,” and their irresistible take on The White Stripes’ “Fell In Love With A Girl.” Today, they’ve unleashed their “polished, jaunty take” on Foster Sylvers’ 1973 classic, “Misdemeanor.” The MP3 premiered with PopMatters, and is available to post & share HERE.
 
The New Royales’ Liz Rodrigues recently lent her voice to Eminem’s latest hit, “Survival.” 2-time GRAMMY winning (4-time nominated) producer, DJ Khalil, has worked with the likes of Jay Z, Dr. Dre, Drake & Kendrick Lamar. In addition, DJ Khalil and Liz, along with Canadian multi-instrumentalists and vocalists Erik Alcock & Chin Injeti, have co-written with Pink on her 5 million albums sold, The Truth About Love, Pitbull’s Can’t Stop Me Now & Eminem‘s hit record Marshall Mathers LP 2 (“Survival”), which debuted at #1 on the iTunes album chart.
 
Hailing from separate parts of the world; Liz, Erik, Chin & DJ Khalil, The New Royales’ diverse makeup lends a hand in the uniqueness of their sound, pushing their own musical boundaries whilst still remaining a cohesive unit.
 
Their diverse backgrounds and unifying passion and respect for music has led to a sound that is eclectic and futuristic with a twist of the past.

"Contender for album of the year. If rating is something I would do I would give this one 10 sticks of dynamite." - Hard Times

"If their past success in the metal scene is any indication of things to come for this band, then audiences should take notice of this release. This is only a warm-up for Youth Forgotten and I can't wait to see what's next." - Broken Neck Radio
