Eleven Magazine premieres new Mothertapes video for "Gravity Wins"

3/19/2016

0 Comments

 
"The album’s closer notwithstanding, “Gravity Wins” offers the deepest trance on Mothertapes’ debut record. And in this particular synthetic audio nest of Portland duo Pete Bosack and Tommy Franzen, there’s sensuality, nostalgia and, on the back of a trickling mid-song bassline, an influx of sadness. Even if, for era, the technology-voiced jam doesn’t match the video’s (tastefully edited) ’70s pornography, it’s suitably alien.
​
Director Jonathan Fine builds toward trysts in the song’s first half before the old, over-exposed film unwinds and rewinds in collage, as the song’s electronics and instrumentation eventually flood over themselves. Even with the cutting and re-editing of the historically distasteful, the direction is thoughtful in its obscurity." - Eleven Magazine

Yardsss & Scriptures release collaborative single, "Wire"

3/17/2016

Picture
A new collaborative effort and the latest in the Yardsss singles series teaming up this time with Self Group roster-mates, Seattle's moody instrumentalists, Scriptures.  Wire explores in both an audio and visual sense (via the video) the ease of the advancement of technology in a communications sense, as well as its confines and the detachment of individuals and the human relationship to that communication.

Check it out in the Mart!

Stream & download in the SG Mart
Two tracks from 'Granfalloons' have officially been premiered by New Noise Magazine and Heavy Blog Is Heavy!

"Soaring drone noise and melody as cacophony reminiscent of late-80s/early-90s Swans, Emeralds and Popul Vuh" -- New Noise Magazine // More

"A weird mix of Swans, post-rock, and orchestral music. It’s not nearly as harsh or abrasive as No Wave or other experimental noise or drone projects, but it definitely has elements from those genres." -- Heavy Blog Is Heavy // More

Portland, OR band Yardsss -- ethereal music brainchild of Southerly and Sndtrkr leader Krist Krueger -- share their new album Granfalloons today.  The 5-track piece is the second in a three part Kurt Vonnegut inspired series following the critically acclaimed Foma, which also became a short film of the same name.  Hear and share the full album via  Soundcloud / Bandcamp. 

Heavy Blog Is Heavy recently reviewed and premiered "Granfalloons II" HERE.  New Noise Magazine featured "Granfalloons III" and the full album stream HERE. Granfalloons is performed by Krueger with fellow Southerly member Eli Savage, joined by Sarah Saturday of Gardening, Not Architecture on guest vocals.
