  • Album of the Week: and So I Watch You from Afar – <I>The Endless
    Album of the Week: And So I Watch You from Afar – The Endless Shimmering The Endless Shimmering by And So I Watch You from Afar Pushing the musical envelope has always been part of And So I Watch You from Afar’s forte. The instrumental experimental progressive math rock act from Belfast, Northern Ireland, use an abundance of guitar shredding and rhythms that escape the inhibitions. It’s a sound that hits on multiple levels and never lets up. Their fifth full-length album The Endless Shimmering released on Oct 20 by the Los Angeles indie label Sargent House shows the band moving forward while bringing back what made them great in the first place. The main difference between The Endless Shimmering and the past couple of albums from And So I Watch You from Afar is that they stopped doing the group chanting and singing. They went back to purely instrumental jams, much like what’s in their initial releases. There’s also a different tone that keeps the band’s raw amplification intact along with having everything sounding clearer. It’s an album that pleases the senses. The variety of progressions within each song’s structure also makes for an interesting listening experience. A band pushing their sound forward by harking back to their beginnings is unheard of these days. Usually they will keep going with whatever they discovered while making a successful album and riding the wave of its success, but musically it amounts to something that’s nothing like what they started out with. And So I Watch You from Afar reached back to their artistic origins in stunning fashion and made an album that’s brilliant.

  • Water on Mars Mary Bumblebee
    DC533 Lolita Mercury Retrograde Rat Race Dead Again She Calms Me Down Face Down The Harrowing Wind Water On Mars LP/CD/CS Mary Bumblebee Release Date: March 19, 2013 PURLING HISS Water on Mars It takes balls to let Purling Hiss get in your face. Their records are a half-corroded, screaming roar of high-end gui- tars crushed together, obliterating vocals and even drums with their singular assault. Well, if you’ve got balls, get ready to swing ‘em. With Water On Mars, Purling Hiss have broken out of the basement, run through the bedroom and are out in the streets, blasting one of the great guitar albums in the past couple minutes. It’s a tumble of hits and ragers, sewing together nine new Purling Hiss celebration laments out of their usual patches of distortion, singing melodies and unexpected production hoohah — but this time the unexpected part is how the guitars gleam so precisely as they pile upon each other, how they work alongside of the rhythm section rather than avalanching it. And how the songs embody a variety of Hiss-teric moods, from the gutbusting bellow of “Lolita” and “Face Down” through the acoustic flatline of “Dead Again,” the aromatic slide guitars and piano within “She Calms Me Down,” the anthemish surge of “Rat Race” and the wailing march-jam, “Water On Mars.” Water On Mars is Purling Hiss’s first recording outside the fuzzy confines of Mike Polizze’s inner rock utopia, where the first three albums and EP were constructed in solitude with a home-recording setup.

  • Dave Hartley on How to Balance Your Personal Project with the One That Pays the Bills
    October 30, 2017 - Philadelphia’s Dave Hartley is best known for his supporting role as the bassist in The War on Drugs, the popular heartland rock band that just released its fourth album, A Deeper Understanding. Aside from the band’s founder, Adam Granduciel, Hartley is the only member to appear on every album. But in his spare time, Hartley makes symphonic pop as Nightlands, a group he concedes may sell more tickets and records if it sounded more like The War on Drugs. But for Hartley, who released his fourth Nightlands album, I Can Feel the Night Around Me, in May, compensation is the least important reason for pursuing his own project. As told to Grayson Haver Currin, 2256 words. Tags: Music, Inspiration, Beginnings, Process, First attempts, Multi-tasking, Success. Dave Hartley on how to balance your personal project with the one that pays the bills You released the first album from your own project, Nightlands, two years after the first album by The War on Drugs. Did playing bass with that band inspire you to try something on your own? The story of my involvement in The War on Drugs is the story of musical maturation. I met Adam Granduciel when I was 25 or so. We both worked a shit job together at this property management company. We’d moved to Philadelphia around the same time for the same reasons. A lot of people leave home, go to college, and want to go somewhere new. You don’t realize at the time that you’re setting your life on a path, when you think you’re just drifting.

    The War on Drugs: Dream World 4 The War on0 Drugs: Dream World By Michael Tedder Contributor on 03.10.14 in Features “One more round,” Adam Granduciel yells, hand in the air. He steps back into the batting cage and, just like the last few times, most of the balls he hits go straight up to the top of the net. I’m not entirely sure how one “wins” at a batting cage, but I’m fairly certain that’s not it. The cage in question, Philadelphia’s Everybody Hits, has been, at various times in its history, a silent-movie Lost In The Dream theater, a dirty-movie theater and a popular location for The War On Drugs wedding receptions. Looking at the wooden floors, I 2014 | Secretly Canadian / SC Distrib… doubt they’ve been cleaned since the silent-movie era. Buy Now There’s a distressed wall completely covered with baseball cards and two pinball machines in the back, though only the 1983 Sega Championship Pinball game has both flippers. A few neighborhood kids are running around, one of whom grabs my tape recorder mid-interview to ask me what it is. An iPod is pumping out a Pavement playlist, and a True Value sign hangs on the right wall. I’ve come to Everybody Hits to watch the War on Drugs hit a few balls, and to get some insight into the making of their third album Lost in the Dream, a monumental testament to the enduring power of American rock and roll, and the infinite possibilities for mutation contained therein.
