FRIDAY
:: abe vigoda ::

[via Paper Magazine]
“Shedding their no wave dissonance for tropical melody has put them in opportune position to blast transcendent pop repetition. These kids are fucked, in the way that they can make a good record and play really good shows above all odds, like living in Chino, CA, a suburb of Los Angeles, where nothing grows.” –CD Baby

[via their myspace]
“… scarily focused and ruthlessly complex in a post-prog sort of way, but it also flirts with a dark, sumptuous art-pop vibe. The end product is relentless, enveloping and frequently gorgeous.” – Time Out New York
“Precision bone-crushing … I realize this may sound like hyperbole, but have you seen this band? Go, then decide if I’m exaggerating.” – Impose
one of the heaviest bands around led by one of the unique voices of the bk/nyc underground

[via myspace]
“Hot Box started out the day with a set of badassery playing dark, tripped out girl punk with minor harmonies. Dressed to kill in destroyed prom gear that would have made Kathleen Hanna proud, the group is made up of the three Feral Sisters: Tiffany Night on drums (Mindy Abovitz, founder of Tom Tom Magazine and from the band Taigga), Vera Night on guitar (Natalja from Querent and the Good Good) and Mercedes Night on keyboards (artist Kelie Bowman, co-owner of Cinders Gallery).” -BushwickBK

[via myspace]
brand new project from members of Dream Diary and Coolies
“These two (Fiona & Madison) make blistering, distorted blasts of simple/catchy fuzz-pop that you may be into if you feel like WAVVES’ drums ‘aren’t blown out enough.’” -Gorilla vs. Bear

:: skoal kodiak ::

[via myspace]
“This is experimentation of the most noble kind. Every atonal bleep and bloop is anchored by an incomparable rhythm section that is gracious enough to give listeners a toe to tap, all the while flummoxing the left brain into wild imagining … The proof of their success? No band in town more reliably turns a show into a dance party of complete abandon. For their lengthy headlining set, not a body lay at rest.” – citypages

“Jon Nielsen’s overdubbed guitars careen across Josh Journey-Heinz’s frantic, top-heavy percussion, a blast of proggy overload executed with feral intensity. The riffs and percussive attack are jagged but never overly complex; there’s no distraction from the intensity of the forward motion — the record pretty much hurtles through space…” – Clifford Allen, Signal To Noise
“…this is rock in a mode which reminds us of classic-era oddball indie stuff of the SST / Homestead era…the playing is defiantly expert and filled with non-generic psych moves and references.” – Byron Coley & Thurston Moore, Arthur

:: telecult powers ::

[via thepiratehat]
“This band possesses an unusual appreciation for the rough edges of synthetic sounds that is captivating and unique. Often times their instruments are in tune in such a way that they only seem to create textures and hardly any tones at all. At other moments, the sounds can be slightly more melodic while simultaneously feeling metallic and piercing. It’s a strangely comforting but also terrifying sound. In this current revival of rich synthesizer music, Telecult Powers stand out as being a band with an original vision and a raw, personal approach to the instrument.” -Foxy Digitalis record review [8/10]
“With just boxes and wires, Telecult Powers produce some amazing ambiance that’s blowing up big time in the local noise scene. Although they catalog themselves as a surf, acoustic and classic rock band, the Brooklyn-based dronesters are anything but … Telecult Powers is one of the few bands in a very niched scene who is starting to get some attention from people outside Brooklyn’s tiny experimental music scene…” -LVHRD
