  • Rarelyunable Press Release
    RARELYUNABLE PRESS RELEASE PRESENTS.... ARTIST – TOMAHAWK TITLE – ODDFELLOWS FORMAT – CD/LP LABEL- IPECAC RELEASE DATE: 28/01/2013 Tomahawk is back! Where were they? What were they doing? Is this a reunion? Who are they now? What’s next? So many questions. Here are those answers and more! Tomahawk took a break to discover the many truths of the universe. They also uncovered several non truths. They were primarily holed up in a special place similar to the many caves in the mountains of Appalachia. They found time to create the new tunes that make up their new record Oddfellows that will be released worldwide in January 2013 on Ipecac Recordings. This is not a reunion….unless that means they will make more money. The band released their self titled debut in 2001, followed by Mit Gas in 2003 and Anonymous in 2007. They released a limited edition vinyl box set Eponymous to Anonymous (cheeky, huh?) in early 2012. They camped out at Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye studios in Nashville with Collin Dupuis and left with Oddfellows to show for it. To kick off the frenzy that is sure to follow they have released a one-sided 7 inch single “Stone Letter” this November. The b-side is an etching by renowned cartoonist and comics scholar, Ivan Brunetti who was also kind enough to design the album package. So what does all of this mean? Ok, we will allow this final question. It means that Tomahawk is back! Rock and roll will be saved and destroyed. They plan to play live shows for the first time since 2003 and are willing to go anywhere as long as they can get a warm bed with cold pillows, a square meal and a boatload of cash.

There were three main schools: the "ebbing and flowing" style of post-rock (as in God Speed You Black Emperor and Mogwai), the brainy jazz-influenced style of post-rock (Tortoise), and the original style of post-rock, that was simply a form of non-linear instrumental music (Slint, Don Caballero). Prog-rock, by comparison, tended to be more exuberant (if not bombastic) and more about the technical skills of the musicians. Ambient, noise, glitch and world music all contributed to further confuse the tongue of post-rock. Post-rock in Chicago TM, ®, Copyright © 2008 Piero Scaruffi All rights reserved. Aesthetically speaking, being "post" something was the artistic manifesto of many in the 2000s. It was basically a generalization of post-modernism: not only pushing the boundaries of existing styles, but reinventing, reinterpreting, recontextualizing them and, ultimately, dismantling them. Chicago's school of post-rock was still alive and kicking in the 2000s, although its focus and scope was rapidly shifting towards the digital soundscape.

    Music Fest North West PHOTO CRED: Hannah Steinkopf-Frank // STREET CRED: Ryder Sherwood Music Fest Northwest, the annual Portland perusal. Sporting acts spanning the spectrum of indie rock, it appears we’ve come across a gem of the music world, and I was only there for the final two-thirds of it. The event was in no way the most diverse in the lineup dept., and certainly not cleanest in air-quality, but there is only so much that is within the bounds of human control. Over the course of just 65 short hours, from Foster the Peo- ple, to Modest Mouse, I laughed, cried, slept and drank, and biked, and walked, even. That’s right, except for Foster the People, I missed the first day. Lost Lander, Milo Green, and Misterwives down the drain. Does that make my opinions invalid? Of course. But that’s actually not the deciding factor. I’m going to be writing a little bit about the bands I saw at the Fest, maybe what I didn’t like, but I’d hazard a guess that about 90% of this will be what I did in fact, enjoy. You could start and end at the smoky air quality, as my old roommate had been quoted about that day, “It’s just like the morning smoked a spliff”. And it truly was just like that. As soon as morning had gotten up, it made some eggs, and smoked a spliff. We’ve all been there, and all can agree it’s really a poor way to start the day.
