:: why I must be careful ::
[via myspace]
“Why I Must Be Careful is a Portland duo consisting of John Niekrasz on drums and Seth Browne on the Rhodes piano. Together they make some of the noisiest dub influenced post-rock (by way of Tortoise) this side of Chicago. What starts as collective improvisation leads to a highly structured foray into dub, free-jazz, John Cage inspired piano, and otherworldly Magma-like prog virtuosity.” -Tome TTWM

[via downtownmusic.net]
“Is this some sort of instrumental art-rock with progressive inclinations?…Each note or phrase counts. Charlie plays sharp angular chords as Mike punctuates each of the guitar phases ever so tightly. A slow motion version of the Minutemen without Mike Watt, perhaps?!?” – Downtown Music Gallery

“Visually, a Himalaya show is all shadows and geometric projections, including their trademark Rising Sun — sonically, I thought they might blow the windows off of little Spike Hill, with a serious wall of sound finish that would have made Kevin Shields proud.” -John Norris [yep that one]
“[Himalaya is] known for their extraordinarily loud, dissonant live sets, in the same vein as Spaceman 3 or the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Bring yer earplugs!” -Free Williamsburg

:: the beatings ::
[via myspace]
“The Beatings often sound like a throwback to a lot of pre-’90s college alt-rock, with the high volume assault of Husker Du and even the monotone growl of Joy Division’s Ian Curtis … But rather than being held back by such similarities, the Beatings push beyond them … That vibrant energy and carefree post-punk zeal move the Beatings well past their more prominent influences.” -Washington Post
