Under the cover of vintage jazz-style\, the five songs reflect feelings of rootlessness from four nomadic years\, bouts of depression\, and the ever-looming specter of political unrest hanging over the country. \nNevertheless\, a noticeable glimmer of light always peeks through. \n“Our lifestyle has shaped our perspective\,” explains Martin. “We’ve toured so much that we haven’t been able to call anywhere home. A lot of the songwriting was done from this place of simply not having a home base. We were the perennial guests.” \n“Some of the more somber moments come from a darkness I carry\,” admits Callie. “I’m not an optimist\, and I suffer from insomnia and depression. Traveling around on highways and utilizing the faux likes of large cooperate hotels and chains can bring a person down. Songwriting is a way to speak about sad things in a pretty and concise way while providing a distraction from some of the realities of tour life. It’s not all dreary though\, and the enormous range of experiences give us the juxtaposition of happy\, easygoing vintage music and dark lyrics.” \nThat subtle balance has transformed The Ballroom Thieves into a quiet phenomenon. Following two EPs\, the group released their full-length debut A Wolf in the Doorway in 2015. Between marathons of touring\, 2016’s Deadeye would spawn a string of fan favorites. They claimed real estate on prime Spotify playlists (e.g. “Your Favorite Coffeehouse\,” “Relax & Unwind\,” “Morning Acoustic”) with “Bees” cracking 10 million streams on the platform. Along the way\, they sold out shows and delivered standout performances at festivals such as Boston Calling and Newport Folk Festival\, while landing features at NPR\, Baeble Music\, Boston Globe\, Paste\, Earmilk\, and many others. \nIn late 2017\, they commenced work on Paper Crown\, collaborating with producer Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers\, Brandi Carlile\, Vance Joy) in Washington for the first time. \n“Working with Ryan at Bear Creek was a completely new and unique experience\,” affirms Devin. “He naturally pushed us through our vulnerabilities\, challenging the band to grow and apply some of his more pop sensibilities to our traditional ‘Thieves sound.’ The rustic wooded environment at Bear Creek also had a serious impact on the band’s experience creating these songs as we found ourselves there at two very different times of year – once in the beautiful but smoky heat of August and again in February’s more frigid rain season. The result was a pretty stark contrast in the sounds\, tones\, textures\, colors\, and feel between each song\, which in itself is a reflection of this band and our journey. “ \nDuring the process\, The Ballroom Thieves dramatically expanded their sonic palette. Electric guitars figured prominently\, and the group wholeheartedly embraced the fifties and sixties pop and country influences such as Etta James\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Nina Simone\, and Willie Nelson in addition to religiously spinning Dan Auerbach. \n“It was an attempt to make contemporary music accessible for a large range of music lovers” explains Callie. “You can’t deny those classics are special\, and people across all generations have loved them for decades. Listeners keep coming back to them again and again for a reason.” \nMartin elaborates\, “We liked mixing those old-school pop elements with our big harmonies and folk-sensible songwriting.” \nThe band introduced the EP with the haunting “Only Lonely.” It quickly generated over 3.9 million streams. Meanwhile\, the single “Do Something” illuminates their evolution. Its smoky soul could very well have swooned right out of a Chicago jazz haunt and onto a California beach circa 1965. At the same time\, it encases fiery rhetoric within those sweet sonics. \nThe Ballroom Thieves culled the EP title Paper Crown from a lyric in “Do Something.” Representing the ephemeral nature of consumerism\, corporate greed\, and reality TV\, it’s symbolic of the fake coronation atop the country’s hierarchy. At the same time\, it proposes an alternative charge for unity in the face of this misdirection. \n“It’s a letter to this administration to do something kind\,” Callie exclaims. “This president is not a suitable representative for any human being\, but ironically\, many of the Americans rallying behind him are the ones who stand to suffer the most if he continues to bolster ideals that only work for people who look and live like him. For ‘Do Something’\, instead of focusing on my cynicism about it\, I was trying to have higher hopes\, and maybe scream a little about what most of us are thinking.” \nMartin goes on\, “It’s unifying rather than being divisive. It points towards the fact we’re all trying to navigate this situation together. We shouldn’t be doing that as two separate factions.” \nWhether it’s the hard-hitting “Can’t Cheat Death” or the tearful\, yet upbeat joy of “Almost Love\,” they make pronounced creative strides together. \n“To me\, this EP is a transition\,” Martin states. “It leads us towards the next project and stands as an evolution of our sound. Just like any band\, we keep evolving and writing new songs that require creativity in production. I hope we take our older fans with us while making some new ones along the way.” \nIn the end\, The Ballroom Thieves strain light through all the darkness. \n“We hope people find it catchy and inviting\,” Callie leaves off\, “but are also able to find a likeness and connection to any of the ideas we express and the music we love to create.” \n*** \nOdetta Hartman \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nWith a heart – stopping voice & wide – ranging instrumental talent\, Odetta Hartman carries cowboy soul into an era where country can clash with computers\, and bluegrass isn’t afraid of bass. Her debut LP 222 — an experimental\, bedroom-produced hybrid of folk\, musique concrète and psychedelia — was released on Northern Spy Records in 2015 to critical acclaim. Alongside her partner\, sound artist & radio producer Jack Inslee\, Odetta continues to explore the sonic vernacular created by their uncanny collaboration: badass banjos\, detuned violins\, field recordings\, superstitious soundscapes\, and vocal stylings ranging from sensual to spooky. A new album\, Old Rockhounds Never Die\, is slated for release on Northern Spy Records in August of 2018.

Noname first discovered her love for words while taking a creative writing class as a sophmore in highschool. \nShe became enamored with poetry and spoken word- pouring over Def Poetry Jam clips on YouTube and attending open mics around the city. Noname regularly attended and performed at an open mic at Harold Washington Library- YouMedia’s Lyricist Loft. \nAfter sessions at YouMedia\, Noname would participate in cyphers and started getting into freestyling. When she was just a senior in highschool\, she placed third in “Louder Than A Bomb”\, a poetry competition with 120 Chicago high schools in participation.

Instantly the project gained critical acclaim with a rave review by Pitchfork and landing her praise from major outlets like Rolling Stones\, Complex and Dazed & Confused. Noname has been hailed by The FADER\, Complex\, and Rolling Stone as one of the most exciting and important new artists of 2016. \nThanks to Telefone’s success\, Noname played some shows in support of Ms. Lauryn Hill\, who hand-picked Noname to open for her on tour. When first approaching the project\, Noname set out to emulate the feeling of talking on the phone with someone for the first time. She describes Telefone as “an introductory conversation with someone you’re interested in”. But as Noname continued to work on the tape\, it also transitioned a bit into mortality: the idea of life and death and the duality between those two things. \n*** \nElton \n \nWebsite\nFacebook \nElton began his musical journey with the Art of Cool\, a multi instrumentation jazz/hip hop group that included long time collaborator & friend Phoelix. This laid the groundwork for MDMC where we first see Elton’s lyrical prowess on display. After moving to Chicago & struggling to find his place both internally and artistically. Elton utilized his collaborative skills to team up with Chicago producers The Burns Twin’s & Bedows for their EP’s; ​Sun Shower & Side Eye​ . His growth during this time resulted in the completion of his Solo Project – ​Elevated​ . Released in August 2018. \nReaching from his past experiences\, and current realities. ​Elevated​ ​takes you on a whirlwind of intrinsic instrumentation\, while Elton’s delivery ​paints a portrait with poetic melodies\, wrapped in bedroom soul.

She describes Telefone as “an introductory conversation with someone you’re interested in”. But as Noname continued to work on the tape\, it also transitioned a bit into mortality: the idea of life and death and the duality between those two things. \n*** \nElton \n \nWebsite\nFacebook \nRenaissance Vocalist Elton (+-) is an artist\, writer and producer from “The Valley” referring to Fox River Valley a west Chicago Suburb. \nElton began his musical journey with the Art of Cool\, a multi instrumentation jazz/hip hop group that included long time collaborator & friend Phoelix.

Elton utilized his collaborative skills to team up with Chicago producers The Burns Twin’s & Bedows for their EP’s; ​Sun Shower & Side Eye​ . His growth during this time resulted in the completion of his Solo Project – ​Elevated​ . Released in August 2018. \nReaching from his past experiences\, and current realities. ​Elevated​ ​takes you on a whirlwind of intrinsic instrumentation\, while Elton’s delivery ​paints a portrait with poetic melodies\, wrapped in bedroom soul.

In the interim\, she sang on Whiteout Conditions\, the 2017 release from longtime bandmates the New Pornographers. The year before that\, she released a vinyl box set of her solo work and joined k.d. Lang and Laura Veirs on the case/lang/veirs project. \nRecording that record was a revelation\, from Veirs’ innovative guitar tunings to Lang’s skills in studio. “I learned so much experiencing the work ethic of those two\,” Case says. She considers Lang “probably the most natural producer I’ve ever seen. Watching her work was awe-inspiring.” \nAfter their national tour together\, Case found similar transcendence in October 2016 sitting on a panel at the first-of-its-kind “Woman Producer” summit in Brooklyn\, NY. Between discussions and performances from a diverse group of women who produce music from around the world\, she wondered how it had taken such a long time to get to that moment\, and why so many female pioneers had been forgotten. \nShe felt lucky to have worked with the people she had encountered across her career—Darryl Neudorf\, Tucker Martine\, Craig Schumacher\, and Chris Schultz among them—who encouraged her to expand her own skills in studio. But she had also gotten fed up with a world in which women’s accomplishments seemed to vanish from public memory. “The George Martins and Quincy Joneses of the recording pantheon deserve every drop of praise and every project they have received\,” Case says. “But we can’t keep telling the same stories over and over. We need more stories\, more inspiration\, more flavors.” \nShe set to work on her next record looking for not just new stories but also new sounds. This time\, she wanted to put herself in a setting far away from everything she knew. She recalled Björn Yttling’s skill with Lykke Li\, Camera Obscura\, and his own band\, Peter Bjorn and John. “I’ve worked with the same people so long\, I never had to step outside my comfort zone\,” Case says. “In this instance\, I chose to.” \nThe two met over breakfast in Washington\, DC\, and decided to team up. By the time she went to Sweden in the fall of 2017\, Case had already written songs with longtime collaborator Paul Rigby\, laid down vocal and guitar tracks at WaveLab Studio in Tucson\, and built Carnacial Singing\, her recording space in Vermont. But in the middle of her stint in Stockholm\, with the finish line in sight\, she received a surreal 3am call telling her that her house was burning and would likely be completely destroyed. She felt panicked and helpless. \nThe fire had started in the barn\, where she kept an assortment of belongings\, from artwork to old pianos. A friend had managed to get the dogs to safety. After the flames jumped to the house\, her home was engulfed\, too. \nA few hours later\, she went into a studio in Stockholm and laid down the vocals for “Bad Luck\,” singing the lines she had written long before she realized they would land on her. \nCase is now stoic about the fire. “If somebody burned your house down on purpose\, you’d feel so violated. But when nature burns your house down\, you can’t take it personally.” The month before the blaze\, Hurricane Harvey had slammed into Texas and flooded Houston. Her home burned just as Puerto Rico was plunged into a nightmare by Hurricane Maria and wildfires incinerated California. “In the big picture\, my house burning was so unimportant\,” she says. “So many people lost so much more: lives and lives and lives.” \nShe was hell-bent on not losing sight of the goal\, reminding herself there was still beauty in the world and in the process of making music. She had been reading a lot of ancient history\, including Adrienne Mayor’s The Amazons\, and thinking about how for millennia\, women have been more central to events than the average history class admits. “We were always there\, we were just erased. And I knew it. As a little girl I knew it. As a young person I knew it\,” Case says. “Now I know it anew with a ferocious\, righteous\, razor- sharp tribe of witnesses\, and it makes me feel like a super-powerful human being. It makes me feel joy. There’s an inheritance there that’s really important\, and I want to share it.” \nShe decided to climb inside her role as producer and wield it more directly. It just meant owning what she was already doing. \n*** \nThe record that came out of this reckoning with lost stories delivers both familiar Neko Case and something different. Death\, extinction\, exploitation\, tides\, animals\, and adoration all blend recognizably. Case’s trademark narrative gaps\, just large enough for listeners to enter each song\, likewise remain. As with Fox Confessor Brings the Flood and Middle Cyclone\, Hell-On spins away from conventions of story\, slipping into real life\, with its fierce mess and blind catastrophes. \n“I’m writing fairy tales\, and I hear my life story in them\, but they’re not about me\,” Case says. “I still can’t figure out how to describe it. But I think that’s why we make music or write things. You’ve got to invent a new language.” \nThere are differences\, too. The opening kalimba notes of the first track\, “Hell On\,” lead into a waltz of deep forces\, irresistible as gravity\, that refuse to be leashed or controlled (“You’ll not be my master / you’re barely my guest”). This tornado might not love you. \nCase planned this record with a commitment to big choruses and a goal of making them even bigger. The results appear in the anthemic “Last Lion of Albion\,” a requiem for every landscape and iconic creature (“last tiger of Tasmania / the last she-wolf to suckle Rome”) erased through massacre and marketing. \nRounding out the opening trilogy of false possession is “Halls of Sarah\,” a song for unwilling muses tormented by poets who love women “as lions love Christians.” \n“Bad Luck\,” recorded from the ground up in Stockholm\, opens at a gallop and never breaks stride. A song always poses the challenge of when to move away from the groove and how to get back to it. But Yttling pointed out to Case that sometimes the whole song should be the hook—that there’s no shame in exploiting the catchiest part. That became the strategy for bringing “Bad Luck” to life. Longtime collaborators Kelly Hogan and Nora O’Connor came up with backing vocals that build a giddy\, knowing call and response into the song. \nFor “The Curse of the I-5 Corridor\,” former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan duets with Case on a ballad of memory and departure. Melancholy grooves “Gumball Blue” and “My Uncle’s Navy” mark Case’s first songwriting efforts with New Pornographers cofounder Carl Newman. And after performing it live for years\, Case has finally done a studio recording with Eric Bachmann of his song “Sleep All Summer\,” which moved her to pull over to the side of the road and cry the first time she heard it on the radio. \nThe labyrinthine “Dirty Diamond” opens onto room after room of shifting vocals that soar above a march- like rhythm. “Oracle of the Maritimes\,” perhaps the most fairy tale song on the record\, floats over a tuning invented by co-writer Laura Veirs\, carrying a love that longs to prove itself (“come on sweet girl let’s find you an ocean / that goes with your eyes”). \nClouds of mosquitoes rising out of hot tires\, a chest of drawers that rides out into the waves\, a box filled with unnamed newborn creatures: these songs are bursting with images that can only be understood through peripheral vision\, shards of imaginary lives wired into a mosaic. \nLater comes “Winnie\,” a pirate love song for a woman with a mouth “as sharp as the rib of a star.” The song came from the afterglow of reading Amazons. “There aren’t enough songs that are obviously about a woman loving another woman\, just loving her\, Sapphic or Platonic\,” Case says. “I thought there should be one\, because I know I sit around loving them all day.” \nThe record ends with “Pitch or Honey\,” winding its way through intimate verses sung over a drum machine before blooming into layered vocals\, a bigger beat\, and a wall of sound. “Am I making pitch or honey?” fades into repetition of “I love you better when you’re wild.” \nThe record was born at the hands of some three dozen performers in all\, from k.d. Lang\, Laura Veirs\, Beth Ditto\, and Robert Forster on backing vocals\, to Joey Burns of Calexico and Doug Gillard of Guided by Voices on guitars\, and Barbara Gruska and Matt Chamberlain on drums. The sidelong perspective is part of the known Neko galaxy\, but the production is more expansive and edgier\, moving into new universes. These are songs that can swallow you. \n*** \nWhen Case returned to the US and walked through the ruins of her home\, the fire that had blazed after these songs were written became part of the record. For the cover\, she made a warrior’s helmet out of cigarettes. Interior and exterior shots of her incinerated house appear on the gatefold and booklet. And a tiny pop-open charred Brothers-Grimm cottage serves as the set for the video of “Bad Luck.” \nIt was as if nature invented a landscape for Hell-On after the fact: a melted ladder\, seared insulation dangling in ribbons\, the internal organs of pianos. She thought it should all be included in solidarity with those who had lost so much in the past year. \nAll the living creatures present at the time of the fire were found alive\, and so Case was able see beauty in the bleak scene. “It felt like this out-of-time Jacques Cousteau undersea expedition through a sunken World War II ship. Of course there’s some shit I miss\,” she says\, citing family photographs and a favorite sweater. “But none of it matters.” \nAnd as for those fairy tales she’s writing and the history she’s remembering: “We need them now more than ever. We need stories from all sectors. Stories without endings. Stories with multiple endings. Stories that don’t end happily\, cautionary tales\, everything. We don’t need Disneyfied stories anymore.” \nA force of nature\, an act of a mercurial\, forgotten god\, Hell-On is a record sealed by fire\, filled with love and rage and dangers that might lay waste to everything at any moment. So if you wake up dazed in a smoking landscape\, walking through the detritus of your own lost civilization with the smell of ash in your hair\, your favorite sweater gone and a new song in your head\, don’t say you weren’t warned. \n*** \nMargaret Glaspy \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nBorn Yesterday is a bookend to New York singer-songwriter\, Margaret Glaspy’s lauded 2016 debut Emotions and Math (ATO Records). “In releasing it\, I feel set free to sink deep into my new inspirations while taking a break from the road and make something entirely new.” Glaspy continues\, “These songs are the end of this chapter and mark a new beginning!” \nEmotions and Math was featured on many Year-End lists when it was released in 2016\, including The New York Times\, NPR Music\, Billboard\, Mother Jones\, and more. Glaspy toured the record intensely\, playing countless shows throughout North America\, Europe\, and Asia. This season on the road birthed her new EP released on ATO Records\, Born Yesterday. Margaret recalls\, “I wrote these songs on the road\, in my hotel\, on the plane\, and at soundcheck. They were the product of the little time that I had to myself – three songs about different sides of love: love gone wrong\, love gone right\, and love at a distance.” She continues\, “Born Yesterday is a bookend on the adventure that was my last record\, Emotions and Math.” \nGlaspy self-produced the new EP\, which frames these love stories in catchy choruses\, dark harmony\, and her ever evolving sense of the electric guitar. Her finely tuned ear for production and tone shine on Born Yesterday.

It’s for the underdogs when they lose sight of their power. Being different\, being unheard or unseen is so dispiriting. I hope in those moments something like this song is a little pick me up. There’s power in difference. Don’t mistake vulnerability as weakness. What a typical doozy we all make. \nI made the video to this song in my hotel room in Dallas. It was a funny week because I’d always imagined a big budget clip for this song. But without the funds or means to do anything accept something on the road\, I came to the realisation what we put together was perfect. \nI don’t claim to represent everyone I hope this song can reach out to. The video is limited to the cast I had on hand which were my friends. But in all their beauty and pure love for the project we made something which shows who we are very clearly. The Dallas party we threw that night was full of such amazing strong characters\, all unique and proud of their identities. I asked them to sing this with me\, and with them helping me along I think we made something really special. You can see that by the goofy smile on my face the whole way through. \nNo lights\, not make up\, just us dancing in a pub\, sitting on the toilet\, jumping on our beds and singing to each other the lines I know I wish someone had sung to me at times when I thought I was a complete loser. \nI hope you like this song\, it’s for you.” \nBanoffee’s own brand of experimental electronica has been praised by FACT\, Clash Magazine\, DIY and BBC Radio 1 to name a few. A relocation to LA in 2017 offered up a fresh creative start for her without preconceptions\, a space filled with new collaborators\, an opportunity to flex muscles Banoffee didn’t even know were there. The past few months have seen her collaborate with the likes of SOPHIE\, HTML flowers\, l8loomer as well as join Charli XCX’s live band. \nThis is Banoffee’s first batch of work that looks outside of self. The songs remain dark\, but instead of wallowing in dread\, they seek to inspire contentment. Banoffee is interested in the future of a more hyper textualised vein of pop\, one that pushes its listeners outside of their comfort zone.

Throughout Remind Me Tomorrow\, Sharon Van Etten veers towards the driving\, dark glimmer moods that have illuminated the edges of her music and pursues them full force. With curling low vocals and brave intimacy\, Remind Me Tomorrow is an ambitious album that provokes our most sensitive impulses: reckless affections\, spirited nurturing\, and tender courage. \n“I wrote this record while going to school\, pregnant\, after taking the OA audition\,” says Van Etten. “I met Katherine Dieckmann while I was in school and writing for her film. She’s a true New Yorker who has lived in her rent controlled west village apartment for over 30 years. Her husband lives across the hall. They raised two kids this way. When I expressed concern about raising a child as an artist in New York City\, she said ‘you’re going to be fine. Your kids are going to be fucking fine. If you have the right partner\, you’ll figure it out together.’” Van Etten goes on\, “I want to be a mom\, a singer\, an actress\, go to school\, but yeah\, I have a stain on my shirt\, oatmeal in my hair and I feel like a mess\, but I’m here. Doing it. This record is about pursuing your passions.” The reality is Remind Me Tomorrow was written in stolen time: in scraps of hours wedged between myriad endeavors — Van Etten guest-starred in The OA\, and brought her music onstage in David Lynch’s revival of Twin Peaks. Off-screen\, she wrote her first score for Katherine Dieckmann’s movie Strange Weather and the closing title song for Tig Notaro’s show Tig. She goes on\, “The album title makes me giggle. It occurred to me one night when I\, on auto- pilot\, clicked ‘remind me tomorrow’ on the update window that pops up all the time on my computer. I hadn’t updated in months! And it’s the simplest of tasks!” \nThe songs on Remind Me Tomorrow have been transported from Van Etten’s original demos through John Congleton’s arrangement. Congleton helped flip the signature Sharon Van Etten ratio\, making the album more energetic-upbeat than minimal-meditative. “ “I was feeing overwhelmed. I couldn’t let go of my recordings – I needed to step back and work with a producer.” She continues\, “I tracked two songs as a trial run with John [Jupiter 4 and Memorial Day]. I gave him Suicide\, Portishead\, and Nick Cave’s Skeleton Tree as references and he got excited. I knew we had to work together. It gave me the perspective I needed. It’s going to be challenging for people in a good way.” The songs are as resonating as ever\, the themes are still an honest and subtle approach to love and longing\, but Congleton has plucked out new idiosyncrasies from Van Etten’s sound. \nFor Remind Me Tomorrow\, Van Etten put down the guitar. When she was writing the score for Strange Weather her reference was Ry Cooder\, so she was playing her guitar constantly and getting either bored or getting writer’s block. At the time\, she was sharing a studio space with someone who had a synthesizer and an organ\, and she wrote on piano at home\, so she naturally gravitated to keys when not working on the score – to clear her mind. Remind Me Tomorrow shows this magnetism towards new instruments: piano keys that churn\, deep drones\, distinctive sharp drums. It was “reverb universe” she says of the writing. There are intense synths\, a propulsive organ\, a distorted harmonium. \nThe demo version of “Comeback Kid” was originally a piano ballad\, but driven by Van Etten’s assertion that she “didn’t want it to be pretty”\, it evolved into a menacing anthem. Cavernous drones pull the freight for “Memorial Day\,” which fleshes out an introvert in warrior mode. The spangled “Seventeen” began as a Lucinda Williams-esque dirge but wound up more of a nod to Bruce Springsteen\, exploring gentrification and generational patience. Van Etten shows the chain reaction\, of moving to a city bright-eyed and hearing the elders complain about the city changing\, and then being around long enough to know what they were talking about. She wrote the song semi-inter-generationally with Kate Davis\, who sang on a demo version when the song was in its infancy. \nSince her last album\, Van Etten has had a young son\, and family life is joyful. Preparing and finishing these songs\, she found herself expressing deep doubts about the world around him\, and a complicated need to present a bright future for him. “There is a tear welling up in the back of my eye as I’m singing these love songs\,” she says\, “I am trying to be positive. There is strength to them. It’s— I wouldn’t say it’s a mask\, but it’s what the parents have to do to make their kid feel safe.” \nAlongside working on Remind Me Tomorrow\, Van Etten has been exploring her talents (musical\, emotional\, otherwise) down other paths. She’s continuing to act\, to write scores and soundtrack contributions\, and she’s returning to school for psychology. The breadth of these passions\, of new careers and projects and lifelong roles\, have inflected Remind Me Tomorrow with a wise sense of a warped-time perspective. This is the tension that arches over the album\, fusing a pained attentive realism and radiant lightness about new love.

The North Carolina duo have built a steady and growing fanbase with this kind of intimacy\, and on Tides of A Teardrop\, due out February 1\, it is more potent than ever. By all accounts\, it is the duo’s fullest\, richest\, and most personal effort. You can hear the air between them—the taut space of shared understanding\, as palpable as a magnetic field\, that makes their music sound like two halves of an endlessly completing thought. Singer-songwriter Andrew Marlin and multi- instrumentalist Emily Frantz have honed this lamp glow intimacy for years. \nOn Tides of A Teardrop\, Marlin wrote the songs\, as he usually does\, in a sort of stream of consciousness\, allowing words and phrases to pour out of him as he hunted for the chords and melodies. Then\, as he went back to sharpen what he found\, he found something troubling and profound. Intimations of loss have always haunted the edges of their music\, their lyrics hinting at impermanence and passing of time. But Tides of A Teardrop confronts a defining loss head-on: Marlin’s mother\, who died of complications from surgery when he was 18. \nThese songs\, as well as their sentiments\, remain simple and quiet\, like all of their music. But beneath the hushed surface\, they are staggeringly straightforward. “I’ve been holding on to the grief for a long time. In some ways I associated the grief and the loss with remembering my mom. I feel like I’ve mourned long enough. I’m ready to bring forth some happier memories now\, to just remember her as a living being.” \nFor this album\, Marlin and Frantz enlisted their touring band\, who they also worked with on their last album Blindfaller. Having recorded all previous albums live in the studio\, they approached the recording process in a different way this time. “We went and did what most people do\, which we’ve never done before—we just holed up somewhere and worked the tunes out together\,” Frantz says. There is a telepathy and warmth in the interplay on Tides of A Teardrop that brings a new dynamic to the foreground—that holy silence between notes\, the air that charges the album with such profound intimacy. “This record is a little more cosmic\, almost in a spiritual way—the space between the notes was there to suggest all those empty spaces the record touches on\,” acknowledges Marlin. There are many powerful ways of acknowledging loss; sometimes the most powerful one is saying nothing at all. \n*** \nMapache \n \nWebsite\nFacebook \nMapache consists of Clay Finch and Sam Blasucci. Born and raised in Glendale\, California\, the duo’s breathtaking harmonies and heartfelt sound verges on cosmic West Coast Pop Americana. Just months after releasing their critically acclaimed self-titled debut\, the duo is back touring with a beguiling new EP titled ‘Lonesome LA Cowboy.’ \nConsisting of three charismatic covers\, ‘Lonesome LA Cowboy’ encompasses decades\, genres\, and even international borders. Tapping faithfully into an era that ended well before their births\, Mapache’s performances here conjure up dry desert breezes and lush coastal canyons with a distinctly southwestern brand of harmony-driven folk and country that’s at once vintage and contemporary. The pair relies on nothing more than acoustic guitars and enchanting vocals to work their magic\, pulling influence from the architects of American roots music as well as formative years spent living in Mexico and filtering it all through modern\, youthful sensibilities. It’s music with little regard for boundaries or barriers\, reverent of the past but fully immersed in the present. \n“We make music that’s reflective of the landscape we grew up with in southern California\,” says Finch. “It’s a big sweep of all the really rich influences you encounter around here: folk and psychedelic and country and Latin and rock and cowboy and Hawaiian. We’re drawing from a really deep well.” \nRecorded in a similarly stripped-down fashion with producer Dan Horne (Cass McCombs\, Allah-Las)\, Mapache’s self-titled debut introduced the duo’s timeless songwriting and airtight harmonies\, earning obvious comparisons to The Louvin Brothers in addition to more cosmic keepers of the flame like Graham Parsons and the Grateful Dead. Aquarium Drunkard hailed the duo as “a blazed up Everly Brothers” and raved that “the LP faithfully radiates the intimate warmth of their live shows\,” while No Depression said the album “weds lilting melodies to lyrics that often extol the beauties of nature\,” and Saving Country Music declared that the duo “can fill up a room with more soul soaring harmony than most symphonic assemblies.” The music helped earn the band festival appearances from Pickathon to Mountain Jam as well as tour dates with Chris Robinson\, Nikki Bluhm\, Beachwood Sparks\, and more. \nThough Mapache (Spanish for “raccoon”) only recently began recording\, the duo’s roots stretch all the way back to high school\, where Finch and Blasucci struck up a friendship over a shared love of skateboarding and classic songwriters. After graduation\, Finch headed north to study music at Chico State (birthplace of The Mother Hips\, who recently invited Mapache to perform at their beloved Hipnic festival in Big Sur)\, while Blasucci headed South to Mexico\, where he served as a missionary for two years. \nTheir sound is not an exercise in pop nostalgia\, but rather a distinctly independent link in a chain that stretches far behind and ahead of them.

He never did complete the work. Not really. Never could square his grand ambitions against his mechanical limitations. Listen to his first attempt\, recorded at nineteen on a cheap laptop\, and you’ll hear what Brian Eno fondly calls “the sound of failure” – thrilling\, extraordinary\, and singularly compelling failure. Will’s first love\, rendered in the vivid teenage viscera of stolen gin\, bruised shins\, and weird sex\, was an event too momentous for the medium assigned to record it. \nEven so\, even awkward and amateurish\, Twin Fantasy is deeply\, truly adored. Legions of reverent listeners carve rituals out of it: sobbing over “Famous Prophets\,” making out to ‘Cute Thing’\, dancing their asses off as ‘Bodys’ climbs higher\, higher. The distortion hardly matters. You can hear him just fine. You can hear everything. And you can feel everything: his hope\, his despair\, his wild overjoy. He’s trusting you – plural you\, thousands of you – with the things he can’t say out loud. “I pretended I was drunk when I came out to my friends\,” he sings – and then\, caught between truths\, backtracks: “I never came out to my friends. We were all on Skype\, and I laughed and changed the subject.” \nYou might be imagining an extended diary entry\, an angsty transmission from a bygone LiveJournal set to power chords and cranked to eleven. You would be wrong. Twin Fantasy is not a monologue. Twin Fantasy is a conversation. You know\, he sings\, that I’m mostly singing about you. This is Will’s greatest strength as a songwriter: he spins his own story\, but he’s always telling yours\, too. Between nods to local details – Harper’s Ferry\, The Yellow Wallpaper\, the Monopoly board collecting dust in his back seat – he leaves room for the fragile stuff of your own life\, your own loves. From the very beginning\, alone in his bedroom\, in his last weeks of high school\, he knew he was writing anthems. Someday\, he hoped\, you and I might sing these words back to him. \n“It was never a finished work\,” Toledo says\, “and it wasn’t until last year that I figured out how to finish it.” He has\, now\, the benefit of a bigger budget\, a full band in fine form\, and endless time to tinker. According to him\, it took eight months of mixing just to get the drums right. But this is no shallow second take\, sanitized in studio and scrubbed of feeling. This is the album he always wanted to make. It sounds the way he always wanted it to sound. \nIt’s been hard\, stepping into the shoes of his teenage self\, walking back to painful places. There are lyrics he wouldn’t write again\, an especially sad song he regards as an albatross. But even as he carries the weight of that younger\, wounded Toledo\, he moves forward. He grows. He revises\, gently\, the songs we love so much. In the album’s final moments\, in those “apologies to future me’s and you’s\,” there is more forgiveness than fury. \nThis\, Toledo says\, is the most vital difference between the old and the new: he no longer sees his own story as a tragedy. \nHe’s not alone no more. \n*** \nNaked Giants \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n‘SLUFF’ is a word that means both everything and nothing\, but it definitely sums up the three distinct personalities that make up Naked Giants. Depending which member you ask\, SLUFF is either slang for the black gunk that comes off your shoes when it snows in the winter\, an acronym that stands for South Lake Union Fuck Face (a reference to the tech bros who have infiltrated Seattle in recent years) or what a snake does when it sheds its skin. It’s also the title — and a song on — the band’s debut full-length. \nFormed in 2015\, the Seattle trio — guitarist/vocalist Grant Mullen\, bassist/vocalist Gianni Aiello and drummer Henry LaVallee — put out debut EP R.I.P.the following year and have been steadily building up their reputation as a live act in the meantime\, and having as much fun as possible while doing it. Because as much as the three-piece — who are all in their very early 20s now — have their heads screwed on and are fiercely intelligent people\, they also want to let loose and enjoy being in a band. After all\, that’s kind of what being in a band with your closest friends is all about. \n“I just want to make as much noise and have as much fun and get as sweaty as I can\,” says LaVallee\, “and if that resonates with people\, that’s who I want in my life. That’s who I want to play music for.” \nThat clash of the cerebral and the intelligent — the desire to say something meaningful but also just have some fun — is what underpins the very essence of who Naked Giants is. It’s a band of contradictions. Their music\, which is simultaneously timeless and modern\, new and old\, is loud and brash and raw\, but there’s vulnerability there\, too. In fact\, debut album SLUFF is a melting pot of ideas and sounds that\, on paper\, don’t seem like they would go together\, but which form one phenomenally cohesive whole. \n“These are songs that we’ve played live for a long time\,” explains Mullen. “We wanted to showcase the different kinds of songs we’ve written and put them all onto an album that flows together\, making it tie together into something that means something.” \nThat’s exactly what they do on SLUFF’s twelve weird and wonderful songs. Recorded with producer Steve Fisk (Nirvana/Screaming Trees/Beat Happening/Car Seat Headrest/Low/Minus The Bear) in Seattle at Avast! and Soundhouse Studios over the course of two and a half weeks in October\, the record is a dizzying mélange of influences and ideas. It swirls with hyperactive restlessness as 1960s harmonies share space with 1970s riffs while at the same time battling an undercurrent of punk rock and more modern indie influences. The song “TV\,” for example\, is a kaleidoscope of sound that seems to take in the whole history of rock’n’roll but reframes it in a more contemporary context. \n“From our perspective as millennials where everything is accessible all at once\,” explains Aiello\, “there is no difference to us between punk and classic rock or anything like that because we’re all observing it at the same time through the same lens. And yes\, history exists\, but if you’re just flipping through something on the TV\, it all kind of conflates together — kind of like the song does.” \nNeedless to say\, that song simmers with tension\, and it’s not the only one. “Everybody Thinks They Know (But No One Really Knows)” is a jaunty\, upbeat jangle but with distinctly sinister undertones\, “Slow Dance II” is a sumptuous\, soulful track with a desperate\, raw and bluesy swagger. “Dat Boi” is a rash of brash guitars that’s soon swept by an off-kilter\, psychedelic melody while closer “Shredded Again” is a graceful\, lackadaisical comedown after the rush of energy that precedes it. Raucous and rabid\, but also considered and complex\, Naked Giants’ music is the sum of all their influences and then some. And then some more. \n“What’s really interesting to me\,” ponders Aiello\, “is we have very different influences\, so when we’re jamming it’s like it’s being pulled apart and pushed together in so many different directions. And I think that’s a good thing.” \nThen\, of course\, there’s the quasi-grunge title track\, which chugs along with an ominous yet uplifting attitude as its title is shouted with a fervent zeal — “SLUFF!” — and which carries with it both the weight of the world and the reckless abandon of youth. \nSo while Naked Giants are happy to play the role of the dumb\, hedonistic rock band\, don’t be fooled for a second — they’re one of the brightest\, smartest acts out there at the moment. And this is also just the beginning of what they’re already planning to be a long and rewarding career. Even at this early stage\, they’re taking it as seriously as they are just having a good time. They have a lot to say and they’re not afraid to say it\, but they also relish in what making music has\, even already\, given back to them. \n“Performing on a stage has been very purpose-giving\,” says LaVallee. “Being in a group of people all experiencing music together brings a strong sense of community\, which excites me. Hopefully going forward we’ll be playing to more and more people. I want us to spread respect and fun rock’n’roll music to a whole lot of people. That just seems like a good deal all around.” \n“We’re just here to play music\,” says Mullen\, “so the more it goes well the more we’ll be thinking about our own art and our own voices. And that’s really the progression of it — personal growth and artistic growth. And whatever people think of that on a greater scale when it reaches them is all kind of up to them.” \n“Not everyone gets to go onstage and have a microphone in front of their mouth\,” says Aiello\, “so that’s a certain amount of responsibility. If you’re given the responsibility of having a microphone then you better say something pretty important. The pressure is to learn and listen to as much as we can so we can say the right thing and hopefully impact people.” URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/car-seat-headrest-2/ LOCATION:Royale Nightclub Boston\, MA\, 279 Tremont Street\, Boston\, MA\, 02116\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://royaleboston.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/CarSeatHeadrest-PressPhoto-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bowery Boston":MAILTO:info@boweryboston.com GEO:42.3499959;-71.0656288 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Royale Nightclub Boston MA 279 Tremont Street Boston MA 02116 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=279 Tremont Street:geo:-71.0656288,42.3499959 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190215T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190215T220000 DTSTAMP:20260404T121534 CREATED:20181005T135952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181005T135952Z UID:10002690-1550268000-1550268000@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Herobust: WTF Tour DESCRIPTION:21+ \nCall or text 617.733.0505 for VIP table reservations.
