Re: “Richard Buckner, Death Ships, Jared Bartman

Richard Buckner is a songwriter of uncompromising elegance. His insurgent country twang is the product of a San Francisco/Lubbock association, being born and raised in California but having a strong musical affinity for the likes of Texas country giants TERRY ALLEN and JIMMIE DALE GILMORE. His impressive catalogue of albums move from folk balladry to tawdry guitar rave ups . Pitchfork complimented him thusly: “whether taking on folk, power-pop, country, rock, or gently experimental drones, he produces uniformly gleaming, misty enigmas. He intones elusive lyrics in a smeared voice, artfully skirting the subject.” And we have to agree. The man knows how to craft and perfectly deliver distinctly lovely songs. Leave the ear plugs, bring the girl.

Re: “Silk Flowers, Halflings, Anatomy of Habit

Silk Flowers are fucking amazing live!, they've been packing venues for months in NYC and Philly, saw them a few weeks ago when I was out there. Their live sound perfectly combined the lysergic weirdness of 70s German Kraut electronics, the restrained, buttoned up intensity of the early Factory Records groups, and recently new eruptive blocks of accoustically-orchestrated industrial noise a la Wolf Eyes.

As if I hadn't given up on the music reviews in the Reader already...Can you please get some new properly educated non-post-indie-ironic writers, this piece is about as teenage-sophisticated as the best moments of Vice...

With Halflings and Anatomy of Habit in tow this could easily be THE show of the summer, I can't wait!
