FRIDAY

:: tough knuckles ::

[via RStB]

“A few weeks ago relative newcomers, Tough Knuckles snagged the opening spot before Girls and Real Estate at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom. Not a shabby gig to pull for your debut, eh? Well it seems to only get better for Calvin Lecompte and crew from there with one album already out and another slated on the way from Captured Tracks with production help thrown in from Ducktails’ Matt Mondanile.” -Raven Sings the Blues

SATURDAY

:: extra life ::

[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

“With Cleaning the Mirror, Kevin De Broux proves worthy of the hype he received … The album works on many levels, but ultimately, the timeliness dictates the album’s success. As repeated listens consistently present a fresh, glorious perspective from which to view the album, I’d say most of the Pink Reason tunes here rank as ‘timeless’ songs that defy genre.” -Tiny Mix Tapes

:: m. lamar ::

[via BuskwickBK]

“The singular artist M. Lamar is a classically trained counter tenor whose brilliant original work is in the unabashedly political yet emotionally powerful tradition of artists like Diamanda Galas and Paul Robeson. He also has a sense of humor, and the songs, with titles like ‘That Obscure Object of Desire’ and ‘Exploitation Chic,’ can be sexy, funny, angry, and sad, often all at the same time.” -WBAI Pacifica Radio
