The master mind behind Deep Sea Diver, Jessica Dobson, plain and simple, she's a badass. She's the type of woman that makes me impelled to take off my bra and torch it. Redirecting the topic of feminism to her incomparable music, the name of her band automatically flashes Grizzly Bear's tune, "Deep Sea Diver," through my head. Unknown is the inspiration behind the name and if it was conceived by the love of Grizzly's little ditty or the admiration of the peculiar aquatic deep sea divers. If you weren't convinced of Dobson's credibility, you might find it enlightening to know that she is also the recent 2008 touring guitarist for a little known man named Beck. Somehow having played as Beck's guitarist on her resume and now opening for Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Dobson still seems to be a solo artist under the radar and overlooked in the Blogisphere. She recently released her pretty great 6-song New Caves EP on April 27, 2009. While sifting through the Daytrotter archives, often many of the artists' sound quality or performances fall short and sound like a mic-ed up living room rendezvous with friends after having a few too many cocktails. Deep Sea Diver's phenominal performance at Daytrotter is undoubtedly the best that has graced their presence in a long time. "New Caves" and "Pillars of Fire" are on her New Caves EP.

Fiery Furnaces The End is Near animated Music Video by Dax from dax norman on Vimeo.
The Fiery Furnaces primary band members are brother (Matthew) and sister (Eleanor) Friedberger's from Brooklyn, NY. "The End Is Near" is off their 7th studio album I'm Going Away (July 21, 2009). The video is Dax Norman's animation for "The End Is Near" video competition. Dax's video blows the rest out of the water. The winner will be determined by September.
I found the three conceivable stand-in members of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Their names are Brad and Phil Cook, and Joe Westerlund otherwise known as the band, Megafaun. The Wisconsin natives along with their longtime friend Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) moved from Wisconsin to North Carolina as the band DeYarmond Edison which disbanded in 2006. After Justin Vernon left, they became Megafaun. Recently, the band has put out their second album Gather, Form and Fly (July 21, 2009) and have been touring with the Bowerbirds and Bon Iver.
Watching these fellas open up for the Bowerbirds (also from North Carolina) was a definitive show stealer to say the least. The Bowerbirds pessimistic mellow attitude of either too shy or not wanting to be there made the front row experience a little uneasy. I've never felt as forced as I did standing in front of Beth Tacular (accordian, bass drum, vocals) through their around 50 minute set to continuously do the indie sway, the white girl knee bend, and my very own instinctual metronome in the form of a tapping foot that Tacular's eyes seemed to be glued to. I like to think my amazing rhythm helped her keep the accordian solos intact but in reality she probably wondered why someone would wear horribly old shoes and stand in the front row pretending to be enthralled. I guess it was high expectations following the laughably entertaining openers, Megafaun. Nothing beats an overweight hairy sweaty man (Brad Cook) walking through the audience begging for hugs. Much to my bewilderment, there were many scrawny kids who loved to follow through with his proposal. The band requested an original composition by the measly audience members. We were told to draw on cards what we thought Houston represents so they could post them on their blog. One fan believed Houston represented a big hairy giant penis hanging King Kong style on the side of a sky scraper. I personally would have drawn a fat person due to the fame of being the fattest city in the U.S. The most impressive bonding experience the audience felt was during the final song by Megafaun. They unplugged their instruments, enveloped themselves in a circle of Bowerbird fans, and finished their performance with a Kumbaya-esque serenade.

In true Radiohead fashion a song seemed to have leaked on the AtEase message board along with a cryptic message. It is not very convincing that this is any sort of "accident," the cryptic message says the song is from a one-track advance cd and will be released August 17, 2009. Interesting that this is the third song released in a month. Excuse me: This one was "leaked."

Florence + The Machine just released their debut album Lungs (July 9, 2009). They released an EP in April, A Lot of Love: A Lot of Blood that includes their cover of Cold War Kids' "Hospital Beds." Florence Welch sounds like a spawned baby of a lesbian love affair between Sia (Zero 7) and Bat for Lashes singer, Natasha Khan. This Mercury Prize nominee's video for "Drumming Song" would be perfect at 2-4 am on MTV when they actually play music videos.

Josephine (July 21, 2009) was created as a concept album about the band Magnolia Electric Co's late friend and bassist, Evan Farrell. Evan used to be in the band Rogue Wave and a couple of years ago slid on over and joined the Magnolia Electric Co and helped singer Jason Molina write some of the songs before his passing in an apartment fire in January 2008. Jason Molina's original band name was Songs: Ohia (1999-2003). While touring he renamed the band, Magnolia Electric Co, with many of the original band members. Check out "Lioness" if any, it's an amazing jam.

Final Fantasy (Owen Pallet) is a Polaris Prize-winning violinist who recently played both the Hillside festival in Guelph Lake, ON (July 24-26) and the Pitchfork Music festival (July 17-19). The festivals were complete opposite experiences for Pallett as he described Pitchfork's fest a "festival filled with a bunch of spoiled babies... who went online to whine about everything from the music to the weather. Every single band there was among the hottest bands I could ever hope to see, and yet people were still complaining." "Here at Hillside, everybody could complain about the lineups for the bathrooms or the beer or whatever, but nobody's complaining - they're just having a good time."
Unfortunately, the drizzle on the Hillside turned into an outright poor while he was performing "Lewis Takes His Shirt Off" from his upcoming album, Heartland (due out at the end of 2009), as the stagehands scurried to cover the equipment with plastic. The rumored album that has taken a couple of years to make is finally in the completion stage. Pallet, the foot pedaling looper, recorded some of the album at the Greenhouse studio in Iceland, where Bjork made some of her records. His longtime friend and once Arcade Fire band mate, Jeremy Gara, helped him out with the record. Final Fantasy's career started opening for and playing with Arcade Fire after their release of Funeral (2004). Being a bachelors graduate in music composition, he wrote the string arrangements for Funeral and Neon Bible. For his upcoming album, Heartland, he recorded alongside a 50 piece orchestra in Prague. Traveling even more to his hometown Toronto and then New York for mixing.

Update: Listen to the entire Dodos album Time to Die (September 15, 2009) at Time to Die.
Vapours (September 22, 2009), is the Islands upcoming third studio album release. Jamie Thompson has returned for the album. Thompson was involved in their debut, Return to the Sea (2006), but departed "amicably from the group shortly after the album was released, and 2007's Arm's Way found the band turning in a new direction towards lushly orchestrated, guitar-driven prog-rock." Their record label Anti- claims the album as "a record that flits back and forth between moody synthesizers and drum-machine-heavy beats, while remaining firmly rooted in the classic pop sensibilities and multitude of melodic hooks that Islands is known for. This is the group's most stunning work to date."
"No You Don't" seems a tale of a drug addict looking for his fix. Usually when people write lyrics, it is about some turmoil they are going through. For the band to write lyrics regarding crushing, sniffing, and injecting variations of drugs, can't be a good sign for the sobriety of these musicians. Life on the road can be a constant struggle in fighting temptations. People constantly throwing drugs and themselves at you, make it quite difficult to be prude and sober. The content is quite heavy but the sound is automatically addicting.

The most remarkably talented modern day Mexican musicians are Rodrigo y Gabriela. If you don't have goose bumps after listening to their rhythmic hand-made classical guitars, then you have no soul. They embelish musicianship to the core and make the indie guitarists sound like kindergardeners. The video is of a song with an unknown name off their new album 11:11 (September 8, 2009) following their self-titled debut (2006). "Diablo Rojo" was on their debut album.

Bradford James Cox aka Atlas Sound is the lead singer of the Atlanta, GA band, Deerhunter. He named himself Atlas Sound after the manufacturers of the tape machine. Also on his resume is a guest appearance where he played a few tracks on Black Lips second album, We did not know the forest spirit made the flowers grow (2004).
Cox was born with a condition called Marfan's Syndrome. The geeky side of me has always secretly wanted to write about Cox because the disease has always been so fascinating to me in my line of work doing echocardiograms - ultrasounds of the heart. Marfan's is an inherited congenital disease in which the connective tissue's chemical makeup is abnormal. It effects bones, muscles, ligaments and skeletal structures. People with Marfan's tend to be tall, skinny, have long arms and legs, caved-in chest, tapered fingers, curvature of the spine, long faces, elf-like pointy ears, and eye problems. Some of the most life threatening illnesses of people with Marfan's occur in the heart. The most common cause of death in people with Marfan's is something called an aortic dissection. Over time, the ascending aorta (distal to the aortic valve) can dilate in Marfan's patients. People with dilated aortas are told to avoid contact sports because a traumatic blow to the chest could cause a dissection. They are told to also avoid weight lifting and pregnancy for women. Obviously Cox has "avoided" the weight lifting. The added blood pressing on the aortic wall makes them more prone to get a dissection. It truly is as bad as it sounds. The pressure hitting the aortic wall, thins the wall out then creates a tear that splits open (dissects) the intimal (inside) lining of the artery wall. This leads to them having two lumens ("false lumen" and "true lumen"- regular artery) getting blood flow now instead of one (regular artery). The blood flow is then bidirectional, your "true" artery getting one direction of flow then the "false lumen" getting another direction of flow that makes the aorta split or tear further. Patients that have this have severe back and chest pain and call it a "ripping or tearing" feeling. Marfan's patients can have leaky mitral and aortic valves as well, but those gradually get worse and the severity can be monitored with doctor's visits to determine if the person needs a valve replacement.
Animal Collective's Noah "Panda Bear" Lennox and Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier will also be on Atlas Sound's Logos (October 20, 2009). The collaboration between Cox and Lennox started with a common music lover game: taking turns playing IPod DJ on a tour bus. One of them played, "What am I Going to Do" by the Dovers. Cox mentioned to Lennox that some one should sample the catchy riff in the song. Lennox definitely agreed and taught Cox some things about sampling and matching up beats thus creating the collaboration for the song, "Walkabout." "Almost everything you hear on the album is a first take. This makes it almost like a live album where a band sets up in a studio and just rolls tape." - Cox.
To catch you up on The
Dodos, they are soon to release Time to Die (September 15, 2009) with the addition of their third vibraphone member, Keaton Snyder. The video of "The Season" is from their previous album The Visiter. They performed "Fables" from Time to Die along with "Red and Purple/ Eyelids" and "Winter" from The Visiter on PitchforkTV. They are playing at the incredible Houston venue, The Orange Show in October, deciding my fate to miss the ACL festival once again. After watching The Dodos follow my friend's friend, Jenny Westbury, who opened at the Proletariat a couple of years ago, I am definitely looking forward to getting a front row ceramic tile seat to this mind blowing performance. Musicianship at its best.

Update: Chad VanGaalen's first single "Metal Spider Webs" from his side project Black Mold is now on Stereogum. I should prepare you, it is not as "electronic" as you would think. It sounds a little primitive. Just a clarinet, violin, bass, cello, xylophone, maybe a guitar, and a few other weird electronic sounds. Here is the link.
Updated Update: Ok, I just found another released song that is actually more electronic by Black Mold called "Tetra Pack Heads." Both songs are on his upcoming album Snow Blindness is Crystal Antz.

Nothing seemed more appropriate than this little ditty for Independence Day. Björk has just released Voltaic (June 23, 2009). It is a box set of 2 CDs and 2 DVDs supporting her last tour for her overly-produced album Volta (2007). Thanks to Timbaland (OneRepublic, JoJo, Missy Elliott), Volta has been the only disappointing Björk album. Lets put it this way: following a water boarding session with a Guantanamo Bay prisoner, play Volta on repeat for a few hours and after the atrocious headache they will be begging for more water boarding. Fortunately, the live performances of Volta are much more appealing and exciting without being overboard.
One of the CDs is a live performance from olympic studios. Half of the live CD are songs from Volta and the other half dozen are fresh reworkings of her classics. She varies up her oldie but goodies and seemingly misses a tune from her Debut album. Björk even throws in "The Pleasure Is All Mine" from her underrated album Medulla (2004). The magnificently composed album, Medulla, consists of only one instrument, the mouth. She gathered up beat boxer Rahzel (The Roots), Mike Patton (Faith No More), and others to virtually create the entire album by human sounds and a cappella voices. Here are the track listings for the live Voltaic CD:
- Wanderlust
(Volta)
- Hunter
(Homogenic)
- The
Pleasure Is All Mine (Medulla)
- Innocence
(Volta)
- Army
of Me (Post)
- I Miss
You (Post)
- Earth
Intruders (Volta)
- All Is
Full of Love (Homogenic)
- Pagen
Poetry (Vespertine)
- Vertebrae
By Vertebrae (Volta)
- Declare
Independence (Volta)
- My
Juvenille - Live (Volta)
The other CD is all remixes. There is even a remix of "Wanderlust" by Ratatat. One of the DVDs is 21 different songs live in Paris and Reykjavik. The other DVD is videos. In the video for "Declare Independence," the eye catching luminous blue circle the guy is moving the blocks around on is called a Reactable. The musician controls the system by manipulating tangible objects. By rotating and connecting the blocks/circles one can create sample loops, synthesizers, or any imaginable composition.
"Nattura" is a song that Björk released last October to support the environmental Nattura organization that is concerned with the preservation of Icelandic resources. It has the equivalent blood pumping intensity as the live "Declare Independence." And those little moans and groans in the background are of previous "I've Seen It All" (Dancer In the Dark Soundtrack- Selmasongs) duet-er Thom Yorke.

Kria Brekkan whose real name is Kristin Anna Valtysdottir is more notably known as the previous lead singer of the Icelandic band, Mùm. She left Mùm a few years ago to move to New York with her husband Dave Portner (Avey Tare) from the band Animal Collective. Brekkan even sang on Animal Collective's Feels (October 18, 2005). Since her abandonment of Mùm, Brekkan and her hubby released a collaborative album Avey Tare & Kria Brekkan Pullhair Rubeye (April 24, 2007). They wrote the album in the summer of 2005 and to support their album they performed an acoustic live Planet Claire session. The song "Bee Xlaura" was recorded in 2007 and is one of a series of double A-side 7" singles that Brekkan plans to release later this year. She performed "Bee Xlaura" for La Blogotheque in Paris a few years ago.
MP3: Kria Brekkan - Bee Xlaura.mp3
Singer, Robin Pecknold, of the Fleet Foxes did an impeccably raw solo performance of an unreleased song "Blue Spotted Tail." Fleet Foxes are in the developmental stage of recording their second full-length album following their exquisite debut album last year.
Peoplefood started when a couple of long time Beatles fanatic elementary school friends from League City, TX decided to start up a band and do what they love, music. "The Beatles are still kind of the original indie rock band for us. The idea that an album (Abbey Road) should be a cohesive group of songs that each stand alone in their own right is something that is elemental in what we do." Band members Byrne Rock (bass and vocals) and Ryan Williams (lead guitar) had their first live performance when they decided to try out for a 9th grade high school talent show. Although I'd like to claim Ryan's guitar playing was influenced by my playing "not even Stevie Ray Vaughn can hold a candle to the way you play, Mel. Every time you play, I actually want to quit because I'll never be that good. ;)." The wink makes me suspicious of Ryan's sincerity. He truly first learned how to play guitar by learning the 4 chords for "Hey Jude" and after the positive reinforcement from the "concert" thus formed their new collaboration and Byrne's drive to pick up the bass guitar he had snagged from his late friend Jeremy Barnes.
Byrne and Ryan used their schooling at the University of Texas as a parental ploy to move to Austin, TX and play music. When asked on how the decision was made on who would be the lead singer "Well, we took a vote on it. My vote counted twice because of some money that Ryan owed me...joking. It was something that happened naturally based on what felt right." - Byrne. "I still owe him money. I feel way more comfortable in the background. Only within the last couple years have I been able to do it while playing guitar at the same time." - Ryan. The requirement for their current drummer was that he or she had to have curly hair and be into soccer, which led them to bring on Chris Mitchell. Mike Pope was in the band for a while and in the recording process. He plays more of the guitar solos, but left for Los Angeles to not surprisingly edit a Beatles documentary. Now Ryan has compromised both his rhythm and solos for their live performances now that there are only 3 members.
Interestingly, these fellas have a very methodical writing process. The dissection of every instrument and lyric makes the songs believable and full of passion. An ambitious feat for a band that has only been around since 2007. "For us, the perfect song consists of the marriage between a great melody and an infectious beat. A beat is visceral while the melody is intellectual. Great songs make you think while making you want to move your ass at the same time. More than catering to any influence, this is what we try to hone in on when crafting music." The band has an incomparably unique sound with an interestingly diverse group of influences like underground electronic music, drum 'n' bass, and Aphex Twin. "A band that tied this experimental/electronic music with rock better than any other was Radiohead. I can remember listening to "Everything In It's Right Place," and feeling a chemical explosion in my brain bigger than any pill we had access to." Also, a lot of hip hop and reggae like Outkast, Tribe Called Quest, Blackalicious, Bob Marley, and Toots and the Maytals. Then to mix it up even more, some old school Motown artists like The Temptations and The Supremes. And of course Modest Mouse and Broken Social Scene. Their debut album The Status Foe EP (March 10, 2009) is on ITunes and Amazon. Upcoming tour info is up on Myspace.
Their description of the song "What We're Not": "The contrast you hear in the chorus vocals was a happy accident caused by the necessity of using two different mics. We basically had to go back and redo the verses with a different mic because we didn't like the original sound. Then our friend and mixing engineer, Andrew Solin, created some great effects that make two different worlds exist within the same songs." - Byrne. "You know, the mixing engineer really is just another member of the band in a lot of ways. We got so lucky with Andrew because his creativity and aesthetic are right in line with ours. In this particular instance, Andrew put a distortion plug-in on the mic we didn't like the sound of. This gave that vocal take a really gritty lo-fi sound that thought was cool. So he added that take to the mix just a little bit, with the clean vocal coming through a little louder over the top. Together, they have this really interesting blend that adds a whole new dimension to the chorus." - Ryan. The lyrics are "about allowing yourself creative freedom by refusing to self-impose a definition of who you are/must be." Be prepared to have the lyrics "We're not mainstream" from "What We're Not" stuck in your head all day. Well thought out arrangements let the songs have space when need be like in the song "Bigger Picture" with the sinister deep vocals letting up in the chorus. The same thing can be said for "Nature Verses" when the chorus comes into play they lighten up the intensity with a dreamy guitar solo at the end composing a serendipidous dynamic. The progressive "Losing Sleep" with supporting back-up vocals by Darci Fontenot have a constant crescendo intensity adding layers as the song moves along.

The demise of the bulk of albums is that the one song that inclined you to purchase the album is so outstanding it makes the rest of the songs sound blandly mediocre. At first listen you might be deceived into thinking this exuberant CD is a blend of newest favs created by one of your friends then planted into your CD/MP3 player. The beauty of this faux mix CD, Bitte Orca (June 9,2009) by the Dirty Projectors, is the anticipation for the next unattached song.
Each song is its own individual conception. The vast array of compelling melodies doesn't undermine its predecessor. Blending textures and sounds is a recipe for an intriguingly refreshing album. It is sort of like a cereal variety pack. At first you go for the Fruity Pebbles, but then grow to love all the others along the way. All the songs have different vibes that it be an acoustic guitar, heavy electric riff, guitar solo, male singer, female singer, or a beat machine. At times it's a clap your hands sing-a-long ("Stillness Is the Move"), others a tender arpeggio sentiment with a supporting ensemble of strings ("Two Doves"), or guitar jamming good old rock-n-roll ("Cannibal Resource"). Some are humorous when Longstreth romantically compares his lady in waiting to a bottle of Gatorade for she "hits the spot" in "Temecula Sunrise". The founder of Dirty P, Dave Longstreth is a former Yale graduate in musical studies. The song "Knotty Pine" by Dirty Projectors and David Byrne (Talking Heads) is on the compilation AIDS awareness CD, Dark was the Night (February 16, 2009) created by The National's Aaron and Bryce Dessner. "Ambulance Man" is another song performed live with David Byrne. By far one of the most unique albums of the year.
