In Words | The Breeders @ The Tivoli, Brisbane, 29.10.13
And that’s The Breeders, a naked man joy-riding in a car.
of Montreal – lousy with sylvanbriar (Polyvinyl)
It’s Dylan at his dandiest, the least earthy version of Dylans, the one least covered in dirt, self-applied or otherwise.
A Conversation with Everett True, October 2013
Listening to whole albums has become irrelevant due to the immediacy of the internet
Sleigh Bells – Bitter Rivals (Mom & Pop)
I’m not saying Sleigh Bells are visionaries. I just think they’re paying very close attention. They push the logics of consumerism/consumption/celebrity to their breaking point, a grotesque extreme that would qualify as parody if it didn’t feel so real.
The Dismemberment Plan – Uncanney Valley (Juno)
This isn’t just one more reunion. And I’m pleased to say that Uncanney Vally justifies its existence, the re-emergence of the band.
Cults – Static (Columbia)
Static as in staying in one place. Static as in unable to move. Static as in poor reception.
Leverage Models – Leverage Models (Hometapes)
Here and now in 2013, you’ve heard the sound of this record a hundred times. Why would you want to hear it again?
