Sten Bergman ‎:: Lyckohjulet

Sten BergmanPosted on

Loosely affiliated with the Träd, Gräs Och Stenar crew, Sten Bergman only released one LP — 1974's Lyckohjulet — but it is an extremely sweet slice of vintage Swedish folk rock. He's joined here by Träd, Gräs drummer Thomas Mera Gartz for a set of 10 excellent tunes that run the gamut from Basement Tapes-y rambles to moody, "Down By The River"-esque excursions . . .

The Lagniappe Sessions :: Uncivilized | All Chico Hamilton Set

Lagniappe Sessions Tom & Lee UncivilizedPosted on

All Chico Hamilton set. The NYC based collective interprets five tunes from the jazz drummer's 1965 album, El Chico. A record that bandleader Tom Csatari describes as "effortless music with pulse and an eye towards the unknown", he and his group suffuse the selections here with the same liberated and exuberantly searching ethos . . .

Journeyman :: Steve Gunn On Michael Chapman

Michael Chapman Steve GunnPosted on

The first time I heard Michael Chapman's music, it felt like a new yet familiar friend. I've learned so much from him--his work ethic, his sense of camaraderie during our times together on the road or in the studio, and as a guest at Wytree Farm, Michael and Andru’s lovely, welcoming home. I’ve been with Michael on a broken-down bus in the Bronx, on high-speed trains in Switzerland, on a bumpy flight over Spain. I've been a passenger in his Jaguar, speeding down the . . .

Tropical Fuck Storm :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

The AD Interview Tropical Fuck StormPosted on

Tropical Fuck Storm emerged out of the remnants of the furiously articulate, punk rock outfit, Drones. If anything, an even more unhinged vehicle for the scathing rants of frontman Gareth Liddiard, the band has grown, over three albums, into a messy, hyperverbal, supremely danceable monolith.

We recently caught up with Liddiard to discuss the frustrations of isolation, the unlikely persistence of creativity during lockdown, why conflict and contradiction make for the best songs, and what the band hopes for in the future . . .

Stick Figures :: Archeology

Stick FiguresPosted on

Tampa, Florida’s Stick Figures revered the Delta 5, opened for the Fall and caught the attention of John Peel in their short first run, churning out a clatter and rattle, jittering post-punk more in line with London or Manchester scenes than their native South Florida. The band made only one recording in its heyday, a four-song self-titled EP. That EP plus six additional unreleased studio tracks, two live cuts and a modern day reworking of their most chaotic song “Ellis Otivator Dub” make up the new Archeology compilation . . .

Spiritualized :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

Spiritualized The AD InterviewPosted on

In the late 1980s, after a split with his Spacemen 3 partner, Peter Kember, Jason Pierce set out to make a new kind of music, less guitar-driven, more orchestral, founded on hauntingly simple melodies, but blown out with lush arrangements, blistering noise and free-wheeling instrumental improvisation.

This year, Fat Possum has begun reissuing the first four Spiritualized albums on vinyl. We talked to Pierce about his extraordinary 1990s run, his creative process, his influences and the way that music, when done well, can transport you into different times and different places . . .

Corntuth :: The Desert Is Paper Thin

CorntuthPosted on

A bucolic atmosphere abounds on Corntuth's newest album, The Desert Is Paper Thin. For this set of warm, unhurried instrumentals, the Brooklyn-based producer is joined by Nashville’s Pete Finney on pedal steel. The sounds gathered here suggest musical accompaniment to positive aimlessness and open ended rumination . . .
