Brundlefly & the Swede ~ Cabin Music

Long before post-rock meant vaguely emotive song titles and soaring, tremolo-picked crescendos, there stood a loose contingent of sonic provocateurs in the Midwest (namely Chicago and Louisville) approaching instrumental music from a very different angle. Melodic, jazzy, and clearly spirited

The Revolving Bandstand: Remembering With The Caretaker

It’s an image as striking as it is deeply haunting. A dapper couple who could’ve strolled right out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel clasp hand in hand alone at the center of a depthless black floor, directly facing the

Library Tapes/David Wenngren ~ Sketches, Outtakes & Rarities/Les Revenants

The trajectory of David Wenngren’s career as Library Tapes has been a gradual process of coloring in a grayscale, of unearthing a scratched and faded black and white photograph and penciling in shades and hues as time goes on. The

Ben Fleury-Steiner ~ Clearings

In the summer of 2012, I passed through Philadelphia on tour with a friend and had the privilege of a casual evening set with my usual Philly show-mates Northern Valentine. We played in ferocious thunderstorm weather at a delightfully cramped

Moulttrigger ~ Birds

It’s no secret: birds are kind of getting to be a worn-down trend in popular culture. Don’t believe me? I direct thee to the infamous “Put a bird on it!” skit courtesy of Portlandia. Once quotable and amusing, now ubiquitous and tiring,
