  • 1 Thao & the Get Down Stay Down Bio for a Man Alive Ribbon
    Thao & The Get Down Stay Down Bio for A Man Alive Ribbon Music, 2016 Thao & The Get Down Stay Down—the San Francisco−based band fronted by singer and songwriter Thao Nguyen—releases their fourth album, A Man Alive, on March 4, 2016. Following the critical success of We The Common (2013), which was largely inspired by Thao’s volunteer work with the California Coalition for Women’s Prisoners, A Man Alive is an evolution in both subject matter and sound. Thao says: “I wanted A Man Alive to be beat- and bass-driven—rather than guitar-based— extending and elaborating upon the hip-hop influences of the previous record. A Man Alive is more instrumental, more riff- and loop-centric, and has more manipulated sounds.” The Get Down Stay Down are at their best on this record, and Thao herself experimented with programming drumbeats for several tracks, although live drums are also played on every song. Mostly recorded at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, A Man Alive was produced by Merrill Garbus of Tune-Yards. Collaborating with Garbus, who is a close personal friend, allowed Thao to achieve the sound she had been striving for on previous releases. “Looking back,” she says, “I was less sure of what I wanted. With this record I had clearer vision and aspirations. I wanted emotion. I wanted power. I wanted beats. Merrill’s priority was that I take songs and ideas and run with them; she pushed us all over the place. She carved out time and space for us to experiment at will and fostered a very supportive, creative environment.

  • Album of the Week: Thao & the Get Down Stay Down’S a Man
    Album Of The Week: Thao & The Get Down Stay Down’s A Man Alive There’s a certain mellow coolness to Thao Nguyen’s music. It has a habit of taking over your senses and giving you numerous sensations. She’s the frontwoman and guitarist for the San Francisco groovy indie-folk act Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, a band that has been making waves in the independent music community since their start in 2003. They have a new album out called A Man Alive and it brings a lot of synths and beats to the table, making for rhythms that’ll stick with you as each track offers something different. The band’s fourth album is considered their most adventurous, evolving both lyrically and in sound. Produced by Merrill Garbus from the New England art-pop project tUnE-yArDs, the tones have a lot of body. A Man Alive boasts pleasant harmonies that give the album a distinct sonic exuberance. The experimentation and playfulness Nguyen, bassist and keyboardist Adam Thompson and drummer Charlie Glenn exhibit create original music that’s striking. A Man Alive is definitely in my top 10 albums to come out so far in 2016. It’s always refreshing when a band creates freaky, weird pop music. The originality has to be appreciated, especially when way too many bands and musicians sound the same. To stray away from the redundancy of it all, check out my top tracks from the Album Of The Week: It might be the way Nguyen is strumming her guitar but it sounds like there’s a violin in “Nobody Dies” and it’s incredible.
