  • Destroyer Ken
    DESTROYER KEN CATALOG #: DOC140 ABOUT THE ALBUM RELEASE DATE : OCTOBER 20, 2017 FORMAT: CD/LP/DELUXE LP/DIGITAL Of his 12th studio album and its enigmatic title, Destroyer’s Dan Bejar offers the following: CD BOX LOT: 30 Sometime last year, I discovered that the original name for “The Wild Ones” (one of the great LP BOX LOT: 20 English-language ballads of the last 100 years or so) was “Ken.” I had an epiphany, I was physically DLX LP BOX LOT: 20 struck by this information. In an attempt to hold on to this feeling, I decided to lift the original title GENRE: ALTERNATIVE of that song and use it for my own purposes. It’s unclear to me what that purpose is, or what the connection is. I was not thinking about Suede when making this record. I was thinking about the TERRITORY RESTRICTIONS: NOT AVAILABLE IN last few years of the Thatcher era. Those were the years when music first really came at me like a NORTH AMERICA; EXCLUSIVE TO HOSTESS IN sickness, I had it bad. Maybe “The Wild Ones” speaks to that feeling, probably why Suede made no JAPAN sense in America. I think “ken” also means “to know.” VINYL NOT RETURNABLE ken was produced by Josh Wells of Black Mountain, who has been the drummer in Destroyer since 2012. The album was recorded in its entirety in the jam space/studio space that the group calls The Balloon Factory. However, unlike Poison Season , ken was not recorded as a “band” record, though everyone in the band does make an appearance.

  • High Concept Music for Low Concept Minds – Part 2
    High Concept Music For Low Concept Minds – Part 2 Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world: August/September New albums reviewed Part 2 If there is one thing I have learned from life so far it is that sadness can be a fine thing. It let’s you know you are human in an increasingly robotic world. Without sadness the majority of great art and literature would be shallow, soulless things. By JOHN BITTLES Imagine Steppenwolf without the crippling sense of loneliness, Van Gogh without the madness and despair, a Catcher In The Rye where Holden Caulfield has both family and friends. It simply can’t be done, as to do this would be to remove everything that makes them remarkable, tragic and true. This rule applies to music too! I know this is a personal thing, but all of my favourite songs and albums have at least a twinge of desolation, an air of anomie, or the admission that someone, somewhere doesn’t quite fit in. This is what makes them stand out and rise above simple sloganeering, crassness, or the aural equivalent of hiding your head in the sand. Thus, this week’s album reviews concentrate on the exquisite sorrow that can exist within us all. Amongst others, I’ll be reviewing the hushed confessional rock of Low, the forlorn soundtrack work of Thomas Ragsdale, the aural haze of Liz Harris‚ new group Helen and the fed-up fug of The Telescopes. But that’s not all, as we also have the menacing electronics of Senking, the slacker rock of Mac DeMarco, the dance floor ambiance of Heathered Pearls, the confessional story-telling of Destroyer, and more.

  • Mars Rover Churns up Questions with Sulfur-Rich Soil 14 March 2007
    Mars Rover Churns Up Questions With Sulfur-Rich Soil 14 March 2007 The bright white and yellow material was hidden under a layer of normal-looking soil until Spirit's wheels churned it up while the rover was struggling to cross a patch of unexpectedly soft soil nearly a year ago. The right front wheel had stopped working a week earlier. Controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., were trying to maneuver the rover backwards, dragging that wheel, to the north slope of a hill in order to spend the southern-hemisphere winter with solar panels tilted toward the sun.
