Calvin Love’s music–the way it sounds–gives away the process responsible for its creation. Its sparse musical landscape is populated by thin guitars, electronic drums, and occasionally vintage synthesizers, which add a wooly, electronic warmth to the focused, slender arrangements. The lo-fi, cassette, 4-track fidelity sets a very particular ambiance throughout New Radar

In his recent memoir, Waging Heavy Peace, Neil Young comes across this ancient Scopitone on YouTube. "I looked at it maybe twenty times in a row," he writes. Why such interest in this fuzzy piece of video from the mid-60s? Because it's a rare vision of Danny and the Memories, featuring Danny Whitten, Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot -- the trio that would become the original Crazy Horse

Maximum Heavy. That’s the phrase — borrowed from Joe Carducci’s Rock and the Pop Narcotic — that comes to mind when listening to Golden Void’s self-titled debut offering. “Heavy” in this respect isn’t necessarily about volume or velocity (though those certainly play a part here), but more about a vibe, a kind of instrumental interplay, a . . .

Yep. Last I checked, we’re still post-punk. And that means that Light Up Gold, the first widely available release from Texas-born New Yorkers Parquet Courts, is still relevant. The group, who put out a limited-run cassette a year ago, is fronted by Andrew Savage, late of Fergus & Geronimo, but where that group hopped goofily from here to there, Parquet Courts’ high-grade post-punk is stripped down and focused . . .

When I was a kid, this is what I assumed punk-rock shows looked like: dudes in leather jackets, tough-looking ladies with homemade haircuts. Check out the dude sitting up by the speaker cabs, dancing like his ear’s attached to one of the cones. Other people stand around, passersbys look bemused or confused. Someone hands out some kind of flyer; the lady with the bad haircut takes one without missing a step.
But nobody ever told me when I was a kid that this was what a punk-rock band could look like. Or sound like, for that . . .

These past few weeks, Ahmed Gallab has been the toast of NYC. He just released his debut record for DFA Records as Sinkane, and his band was the celebrated guest at many a high-profile CMJ party. Before cultivating his own music as Sinkane, Gallab performed on a variety of instruments for a handful of indie rockers who came up in the late ‘aughts –Of Montreal, Caribou, Eleanor Friedberger, and most notably Yeasayer. He was born in Sudan to intellectual parents who landed in the U.S. as political exiles, and his adolescent years were spent playing in hardcore and . . .

File under: Rough hewn, blue-eyed, vintage Southern soul. Tracked in a single night in 1973, with producer Bob Johnston and the same Nashville session cats that cut Blonde on Blonde, Bill Wilson's Ever Changing Minstrel was originally released on CBS subsidiary Windfall Records that same year...to little fanfare.
Now, some four decades later, it's back in . . .

When San Francisco psych-punk workhorse Ty Segall released Twins a couple of weeks ago, it was branded the followup to last year’s Goodbye Bread, a statement that’s technically true insofar as that record was the last product stamped with nothing but the eight letters of Segall’s name. But including the tracks on his collaboration with Tim Presley’s White Fence (become a member or log in.
Mixing trad-folk, funk and soul with straight jazz sensibilities, Callier’s “Candyman” is the cornerstone of his 1973 LP What Color Is Love?. Due to the strength of the album as a whole, cornerstone is high praise (see: “Dancing Girl,” and “What Color is Love”). Within the tracks seven minutes and twenty-one seconds, Callier, lyrically, lays . . .

Lagniappe (la ·gniappe) noun ‘lan-ˌyap,’ — 1. An extra or unexpected gift or benefit. 2. Something given or obtained as a gratuity or bonus.
The Lagniappe Sessions return this week with Hacienda. Now on their third full-length (2012's Shakedown), the San Antonio group continue to conjure rock 'n roll ghosts, from preternatural pop instinct, sounding like something out of Van Dyke Parks' book of tricks, to full-on Faces' swagger. For their Lagniappe installment the band deliver a mellow, acoustic, take on BRMC. Hacienda, in their own words, below. . .
