Sean Jewell – There is a cadence to The Luna Moth’s new album, a determination that their previous records did not have. The Luna Moth has always been a system of clangorous, instrumental, noise built around steady drone; experiments and improvisations, grinding up against conventional meters, with drums, bass and guitar, but this record is a cut above anything they’ve done in terms of style and fidelity.
Jason Murray – Remove all the doors to the venue and the positive atmosphere still couldn’t have escaped the Showbox – SoDo during The Internet’s live performance last month. According to front-woman, Syd, Seattle is one of her favorite cities. Given the rowdy crowd that assembled for the show, which was part of the Los Angeles’ group’s Hive Mind Tour, I’m not surprised.
Andrew Lowe – Are you ready to … kick out the jams, brothers and sisters!?! These words were my first introduction to a group of righteous miscreants called the MC5. If you’re not familiar: shame.
Stephanie Oster – Iceland, as everyone knows by now, is awesome. The country’s sparse landscape is unarguably atmospheric and has become the perfect backdrop to create dreamy, moody, unique music. When you listen to artists from Iceland, you hear the environment; you hear the place that defines these artists.
Dear Songwriters of the Seattle Music Community,
I’m a HUGE fan of Patrick Galactic’s Lo-Fi All Stars shows on the first Sunday of EVERY month at the High Dive! Another thing you should know is that I am definitely NOT Patrick Galactic writing this as a means to promote my…I mean his….goddamn it.
