SOCCER CLUB CLUB is pleased to announce the opening of our summer group show. Bringing together black-and-white and darkly monochrome works in a variety of media, the show addresses the human form and it's proxies. Figurative works show bodies in action or repose, while various tangential or allegorically related... (read more)

2018 is halfway over, and in these first 6 months the Purling Hiss new music void has weighed heavily and dramatically on all of us! But fear not, that heavy cloud is about to dissipate as Mike Polizze and Co. have come through with a quick fix - a new digital single for immediate consumption, and a mid-summer tour! Purling Hiss are slithering back up the eardrums with fuzzed guitars, heady rhythms, and bucolic forays into fuzzy, blissful acoustics with two new songs (well, one... (read more)

Haley Fohr, of experimental folk project Circuit des Yeux, presents new visual imagery to accompany her extraordinary long player Reaching For Indigo; a broadcast for the fourth single "Falling Blonde".

The video presented is a super 8 film edited, directed, and starring New Zealand based video artist Veronica Crockford-Pound. It is in response to the song "Falling Blonde", our discussions about the action of falling (the most natural state of all things), and our bodily relationship to... (read more)

Recording engineer/producer Mark Nevers had introduced Will Oldham to the wonderful community of Nashville session musicians during the sessions for MASTER AND EVERYONE. Nevers noted how impressed Oldham was with how things could work at a Nashville session and suggested to Oldham that they reconvene for a future record for which Nevers would book a whole crew of A-team musicians. Oldham first conceived of bringing in a pile of cover songs culled from the breezy pop charts of the 1970s; songs from Meat Loaf... (read more)

Much like death (the state of being, not the band), The 4th Movement is a transition to a new incarnation. Risen from the ashes of Death (the band!), The 4th Movement arrived at a new beginning, one where the Hackney brothers could experiment with their sound and push it forward into something deeper and more psychedelically charged than ever before. Coinciding with a move to Vermont; Dannis, Bobby and David morphed into a heavier and more bombastic version of themselves, with the intention that... (read more)

2018 has been the age of No Age - Snares Like A Haircut burst forth at the start of the year with an explosion, an eruption, and an ooze - and that slime continues to blob it's way around the world with fruity chunks of fuzz, flange, and chorus wrapped up around some of the most popping sing-along songs No Age have ever produced! Now, having brought the epic velocity jams like smash hit singles "Send Me" and "Drippy," around the USA and Europe once already, No Age aren't... (read more)

After being obsessed by the 1977 album Here Am I, a copy of which I was lucky enough to stumble upon in a dollar bin in the mid-90s, I spent over 10 years on-and-off trying to track down the artist known as Frederick Michael St. Jude. The album was clearly great—lyrically, vocally, and musically, FM St. Jude was indeed the “walking atomic power plant” that the batty liner notes claimed he was—but the man and his motivations were a total mystery. Eventually, through... (read more)

Gee, in principle it is NOT easy generating these Bill Callahan tour updates several times a year - and not because we don't love the guy, but it's been a damn MINUTE since he put out new music. Generally with these things, one tends to boomerang the nature of the tour piece around the tone of the record in most recent memory. For that, we have to reach back to Dream River in late 2013 - or, if you're really counting, Have Fun With God... (read more)

MASTER AND EVERYONE

I SEE A DARKNESS and EASE DOWN THE ROAD sessions had ultimately proceeded well, and so Will Oldham mapped out a third full-length recording session with a similar process concept in place.  This new record would be made over the course of a month in Shelbyville at Paul Oldham’s Rove Studios with musicians coming and going for their respective tracking sessions.  For basic tracking, NY-based guitarist Alan Licht, Baltimoron bassist Drew Nelson and Belgian drummer Thomas Van Cottom...

Here on the earth's surface, this past year has been a happening, exciting experience for Six Organs of Admittance. Since the release of Burning The Threshold in 2017, subsequent tours of the USA and Europe, the curation and release of Hexadic III in February, Hexadic workshops in Iberia, and a smattering of shows in the SW, Ben Chasny has been a busy dude! And when the wave is long you gotta keep riding, especially if it's acoustically sound!

That wildly magnetic wave takes S... (read more)
