hey everybody, i know this isn't quite "idm" but i thought i'd pass it along anyway, since everyone here probably has broad musical tastes... (sorry for being off-topic) come out and say hi if you're in the nyc area... brasilia panda bear w/avey tare & deaken fear & trembling saturday, sept. 7th. starts at 9p.m. alterknit theatre at the knitting factory in new york city 74 leonard st. btwn broadway & church www.knittingfactory.com *brasilia*- "Like the chilly Krautrock drones of early Stereolab, Brasilia's music chugs along fuzzy bass and the warm waves of a vintage organ. Vocalist Jen sings simple yet sticky melodies that are padded with socialist lyrics. But Brasilia offer a more laid back and lulling form of dream pop, eerie yet soothing in its bare bone approach. Bassist Roy provides most of the melodic foundation taking the place of what would traditionally be the role of a guitarist. (In fact it's hard to tell that there are no guitars present.) Dreamy organ swells oscillate and envelope each track with a haze of sweet dissonance gently nudged by angular drums." -other music *panda bear w/ avey tare and deaken*- "Insofar as it seems the Animal Collective's output has been geared to a cosmopolitan, fashion-meets-noise cognoscenti (like their compatriots Black Dice, most of the press these guys have garnered has been from foreign fashion magazines) it must be said that in the course of their presenting themselves, whether on record or live, they go about things with such quizzical resolve that it effectively negates any sense of pretentious impropriety or other. Perhaps it's the ever-present semblance of narrative, or the alleged narrative structure's predication on haunted, vocal concerns, but I find their music to be possibly some of the most 'human' out there. As I stated earlier, regardless of the existence of intellectual or conceptual intent on the part of Tare, Bear, or the Geologist, much of the evidence would be destroyed in the dramatic upheaval of their chosen, extremely 'human' methods of relaying this intent."- other music *fear & trembling*- sparse soundscapes using looped guitar, sax, female vocals, and possibly drums. reference points include "pygmalion"-era slowdive, dead can dance... thanks- roy . . . ..... .. . brasilia http://www.unovis.org .... . . . . ...... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
