It was the fall of 2021 and the Messthetics — the instrumental trio of Lally on bass\, his former Fugazi bandmate Brendan Canty on drums and guitarist Anthony Pirog — were at Brooklyn venue the Bell House\, digging into their uptempo riff workout “Serpent Tongue.” Joining them for the piece was a special guest\, acclaimed jazz saxophonist James Brandon Lewis\, making only his second cameo with the group after a drop-in at another New York show back in 2019. That first meeting had been a success\, but this time\, Lewis’ presence sparked something new. \n“It pushed the song like crazy\,” Lally recalls of a passage when Lewis and Pirog began trading fiery solos. As the intensity kept building\, the bassist felt simultaneously challenged and exhilarated. “You’re just holding on and going\, ‘It sounds great\,’” he remembers telling himself. “‘Just keep going.’” \nThat imperative — the sense that there was more to explore within what began as an ad hoc union among the four musicians — lingered after the performance ended. Now\, Lewis\, Pirog\, Lally and Canty are ready to unveil their first full-length album as a quartet. Recorded in just two days in December 2022 at Takoma Park\, Maryland\, studio Tonal Park\, with engineer Don Godwin\, The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis features nine tracks that capture the combustive chemistry Lally originally sensed onstage while expanding the collaboration in all directions. Across the album\, due out on March 15th via the legendary Impulse! label\, the quartet can be heard locking into a hard\, swaggering funk groove on “That Thang\,” cradling a wistful\, jazz-like theme on “Asthenia” or rocketing into ecstatic art-punk overdrive on “Emergence.” \nCanty relishes the way the album preserves a feeling of real-time musical conversation. “In a world that can be perfected in a myriad of ways using computers\, it’s super important to allow the thing you’ve honestly reacted to\, to live\,” the drummer says. “So I’ve spent a lot of time\, since that first initial recording\, protecting this recording. We did try to mix some of it\, but we really left it as rough mixes for the most part.” \n“Sometimes you’ll play a record live and it just doesn’t translate like it does onstage\,” Pirog adds. “But this was just one of those moments where we were just prepared enough\, everyone was open to being loose enough\, that we just sat down and made it happen really fast.” \nEvidence of that spontaneity runs throughout the record. Listen to the way Canty and Lewis play a tumbling\, stop-start duet against Pirog and Lally’s tight descending vamp at the end of opening track “L’Orso” or how Lewis and Pirog improvise together atop a dubby groove during “Three Sisters\,” urging one another toward thrilling new peaks. \nEven when the guitarist and saxophonist solo sequentially\, as on closing track “Fourth Wall” — where Lewis ends his statement with a gritty wail and Pirog answers with a snarling\, soulful line — you can hear a certain charge passing between them. \n“The duality of them playing together — all these melody lines and then egging each other on during the solos — was super liberating\,” Canty says of Pirog and Lewis’ interplay. “And for me as a drummer\, I felt like I could literally just be a utility player\, just to support.” \nThough the configuration heard on The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis is relatively new\, it builds on long-standing musical relationships. Lewis and Pirog first met around a decade ago at a session led by free-jazz drummer William Hooker and instantly hit it off\, going on to work together extensively in Lewis’ own groups. “Since day one of knowing Anthony\, me and him just fit\,” says Lewis\, now widely acclaimed as one of the most compelling bandleaders on the contemporary jazz scene. “We looked at each other after that William Hooker session\, and we was like\, ‘Damn\, this shit is on point.’” \nLally and Canty of course share a similar brotherhood\, rooted in the 15 years they spent touring the world as the supple yet rock-solid rhythm section for Washington\, D.C.’s iconic Fugazi. “I play differently with Joe than I play with anybody else\,” Canty says. “He creates this foundation that I call a very sturdy jungle gym for all of us to play on. He keeps it dubby and rhythmic\, and there’s a lot of times where there’s a sixth sense — there’s things that happen between us when we’re playing that there’s no accounting for except for the fact that we’ve been playing together for 30 years.” \nLewis likens the experience of playing with Lally and Canty to his work with various jazz elders. “The way I revere them is the same way that I revere playing with Jamaaladeen Tacuma or playing with William Parker\,” he says\, citing a pair of esteemed veteran bassists. “It’s a certain road experience that you can’t get in school.” He also appreciates that he can hear the rich musical heritage of their hometown in their sound. “Growing up in the D.C. area\, Brendan and Joe are familiar with go-go\, with all of the stuff from the area\,” he says. “So I will say that the time feel — it don’t get no better than that. It’s like a well-oiled machine playing with them.” \nThat steady rhythmic backbone\, coupled with Pirog’s omnivorous guitar approach — which draws on jazz\, punk\, free improvisation and everything in between — gave the Messthetics a huge sonic palette right from the start\, showcased on both their self-titled 2018 debut and 2019’s Anthropocosmic Nest. But Pirog had always been curious what his friend Lewis might add to the band\, leading to him extending the invite for the saxophonist’s initial 2019 sit-in\, which took place at New York’s Winter Jazzfest. \n“James was just someone who I felt had the right energy to add another texture to the group\, and immediately we already had a good interplay going from playing in his groups\,” Pirog says. “I also just wanted to share this group that I’ve been working with\, with him because he was so generous with me.” \nOnce the quartet established a rapport onstage\, the Messthetics followed up with an invitation to team up for an album\, which Lewis quickly accepted. \n“Every time I played with them\, there was a vibe and it was a good chemistry\,” Lewis says\, looking back on his early appearances with the group\, which eventually led to a one-off studio track that appeared on the saxophonist’s 2023 LP Eye of I. “They hit me up and they’re like\, ‘Yo\, man\, would you want to record a full record?’ And I was like\, ‘Yeah\, sure\,’ because the vibe was so natural.” \nThe Messthetics spent a few months in the fall of 2022 assembling and arranging material as a trio before meeting with Lewis for just one day of rehearsal prior to the recording in December. Even with minimal prep time\, the material evolved considerably. Lewis added a lush\, spiraling melody to the chorus section of “The Time Is the Place\,” originally called “Meters Groove” in honor of the song’s Canty-written central riff\, a crisp seven-beat strut. And Lewis was the key element that unlocked Lally’s “Railroad Tracks Home\,” joining the bassist on the second pass through the theme and turning the subtle\, swinging mood piece from something\, in Lally’s words\, “dirge-y and dark” to “a light-bringing thing.” \nThe seven-and-a-half-minute “Boatly\,” meanwhile\, made room for each member of the band to explore his full dynamic range\, with brushed drums and a ballad-like texture segueing into a breathtaking coda — which Pirog cites as his favorite moment on the album — where Lewis unleashes fierce cries and brawny blasts over a cyclical 6/8 theme as Canty works up to a cymbal-bashing climax. \nThe fervor of Lewis’ playing both here and elsewhere on the record clearly points back to John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders\, firmly rooting the album in the soil of the classic Impulse! catalog\, despite its thoroughly contemporary feel. Lally says he can’t wait to see his band’s name next to the unmistakable orange\, white and black Impulse! logo. “Looking at a record and I’m on impulse! with Alice Coltrane?” he adds with giddy disbelief. “It’s like being on Otis Redding’s label.” \n“I’m trying to be cool about it\,” Canty says with a laugh of being associated with such a storied catalog. “Hopefully nobody’s going to figure out that I’m the imposter in the temple.” \nThankfully\, it’s hard to imagine today’s listeners thinking in those restrictive terms\, as the album is arriving at a time when the borders of genre are blurrier than ever. Lewis\, for one\, relishes the chance to plug into the power of the Messthetics’ punk-adjacent milieu. “I think that’s ultimately why I said yes” to pursuing the full-length\, he says. “I love nuanced stuff\, but I also like the ability to really just put out some energy. When you hear the Messthetics by themselves\, that shit is cranking. And I’m always signing up to crank.” \nJudging by the enthusiastic response the Messthetics and their esteemed guest have received during more recent live meetings\, listeners are similarly eager to hear what happens when brilliant players like these stretch themselves through collaboration. \n“I feel like\, more and more\, there’s an audience for exploration\,” Canty says. “And I really hope this record’s part of that.” URL:https://www.high-noon.com/event/the-messthetics-and-james-brandon-lewis/ LOCATION:High Noon Saloon\, 701 East Washington Avenue\, Madison\, 53703 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.high-noon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/TheMessthetics-Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240513T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240513T213000 DTSTAMP:20240328T163106 CREATED:20231214T152803Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240123T191012Z UID:9107-1715628600-1715635800@www.high-noon.com SUMMARY:The Moth Madison StorySLAM DESCRIPTION:  \n\nBAG POLICY\nBags (max size 12″ x 6″ x 12″) are allowed and will be searched upon entry.

But what about when you’re not so sure? When you’re unsteady\, angry\, swayable\, and doing your damned best anyway? \nThere’s something refreshingly humane about that uncertainty; about having the guts to try\, even if you might be wrong. This is the central tenant of Humbird’s third full-length album\, Right On\, a radical ethos in this soap-box age\, and an effort worth turning up the amps for\, resulting in the project’s most electric\, playful\, mettled record yet. \nSiri Undlin (the songwriter behind the moniker) and her collaborators tracked live and to tape over the course of two muggy weeks in Eau Claire\, Wisconsin. For a collection of songs unafraid of ambiguity\, it’s music that bares its teeth. Anger and dismay sizzle in response to current events. Heartbreak feels like sandpaper\, while wildflowers bob and sway in an ever-expanding universe. \nProduced by Shane Leonard and featuring regular contributors Pat Keen (bass\, synth\, percussion) and Pete Quirsfeld (drums and percussion)\, the majority of the songs showcase the locked-in rock trio\, a progression from the contemplative folk musings of Undlin’s previous releases. Even so\, Right On incorporates friendly winks to the more whimsical\, soundscape-y improvisations that audiences have come to expect from a Humbird performance – electrified\, gritty\, Midwest Americana with a little magic fairy dust thrown in. \n“Right On\,” the title track and first song of the album\, opens the record with a tone of resigned tenacity. ‘I’m not mad\, but I should be / since true love proved unlucky / I cast the dye\, I stained my hands / on wrongful judgments and half-baked plans.’ As the song moves through time and space\, “being wrong” feels less and less like a failure\, and instead transforms into guiding wisdom. The warm tremolo of the guitar maps along the grooves of the rhythm section\, creating an atmosphere of inviting imperfection\, a clever catalyst for the chorus’ simple melody to launch and land right in the tender part of your sternum. \nOther notable tracks include “Child Of Violence\,” complete with psych-rock phaser pedals\, which explores the legacy and impact of white supremacy in middle America; “Cornfields and Roadkill” focuses in on land stolen for profit\, and old-growth forests traded for mono-crops in a sonic landscape reminiscent of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. “Song For The Seeds” is a slow-burning synth number\, imploring the listener to tear up their lawn. It wields a refrain that will germinate in your mind – a proper earworm. \nThrough observation and deft questioning\, the lyrics land less like a political agenda and more like a hard conversation with a friend. All the while\, you can hear the summertime pace where the recording took place\, and the steady confidence of songs that have already traveled many miles on the road. \nAnd those miles – they’re hard-earned. For Undlin\, growing up steeped in church choirs and traditional Irish ensembles eventually led to conducting extensive folklore and musical research around the world as a Watson Fellow. That work inspired years of DIY touring around North America\, including performing around the twin cities one backyard at a time during the pandemic. Undlin continues to expand and experiment as a writer and bandleader in a way that is fluid with each season\, and oddly suited for this particular moment. Following the surprise success of the self-released debut album Pharmakon and the pensive reflections of 2021’s Still Life\, Right On is the next iteration in her process of witnessing the world in all its complexity and responding with candid consideration. \nFor loyal fans and new listeners alike\, Right On is a mischievously kind offering: a whole heap of songs that are unafraid to bask in the perfectly ordinary and also excruciating possibility that sometimes we’re right\, often we’re wrong\, but no matter what\, music can meet us where we’re at and keep us company along the way. \nCreekbed Carter Hogan \nFor trans folksinger Creekbed Carter Hogan\, everything good is made from the rotten stump of something else. Their new self-titled album\, Creekbed Carter\, is both creed and archive\, formed from the eccentric preoccupations of a messy Catholic childhood that have been crafted into a dazzling\, troubling\, and ultimately wondrous collection of songwriting. \nThis 10 track record draws from the intimacy and precision of Hogan’s live shows to build a new landscape for queer folk and country. Familiar spirits haunt these songs – Roger Miller\, Bobbie Gentry\, Elliott Smith\, Karen Dalton – but ultimately\, Hogan’s music emanates from the force of their own desires. Clever\, searing\, bald\, and true\, Creekbed Carter is\, above all\, an act of resilience: a flaming sword that both creator and listener can use to cut their way out and through\, together.

But spiritually\, Geese have returned as an entirely different prospect. Their new album 3D Country is the sound of a restless\, adventurous band redefining themselves. \nAnyone who has seen Geese live recently might’ve noticed the band adopted a different vibe onstage — more of a volcanic\, unpredictable aesthetic. It turns out that wasn’t a flipside to the recordings of Projector\, but foreshadowing that there was more to the story. Knowing they were now beyond teenage basement experiments and were instead making something for an audience who would hear it\, Geese felt emboldened. “When we were writing Projector it was about narrowing the scope\, trying to do more with less\,” Green says. “When we started writing for 3D Country we were trying to do a lot more and seeing what worked and what didn’t.” \nWhile writing 3D Country\, Winter was preoccupied with “modern doom\,” the way climate change and all manner of looming catastrophes hang on the horizon while we otherwise go about our lives. “It’s about living in spite of just total ambient dread\,” he explains. “I wanted to adopt an irreverent\, sarcastic way of looking at that.” While Winter wanted to portray a generational experience\, he didn’t want to be overly literal or didactic about it. “At this point\, everybody I know is already so cynical and defeatist about the state of things\, it’s actually hilarious\,” he explains. “Younger people make jokes out of the fact that human extinction is on the horizon\, and that’s kind of beautiful. I tried to represent that attitude.” \nWith a heightened ambition fueling 3D Country\, the band created a bugged-out\, wild\, unpredictable ride — an almost phantasmagoric reflection of contemporary life. “It feels like going to the circus and instead of having a good time\, everyone is trying to kill you\,” Bassin says. \nAnd even if 3D Country is one more stop and not the final destination — Winter hints that what comes next could be just as severe a change — the album makes one thing very clear about Geese. This is not the band we thought they were\, and no one can say where they might take us next.

The band – Buck (guitar\, vocals)\, Adam Brisbin (guitar)\, Austin Vaughn (drums)\, Ken Woodward (bass)\, Mat Davidson (pedal steel\, vocals)\, and Dylan Meek (keys) – recorded the eleven songs that make up Haunted Mountain over the course of two weeks at Sonic Ranch studio. The album was produced by Davidson and engineered and mixed by Adrian Olsen. The album follows Meek’s 2018 self-titled debut and 2021’s Two Saviors\, with records as a part of Big Thief in-between – U.F.O.F. and Two Hands (2019)\, and Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (2022). \nHaunted Mountain is about love and… something other. Something bigger than love\, a soulfulness\, or a soul seeking fullness. In the songs\, (with five co-written alongside longtime friend and musical hero Jolie Holland (‘Haunted Mountain’\, ‘Paradise’\, ‘Where You’re Coming From’\, ‘Lagrimas’\, & ‘Lullabies’) and one (‘The Rainbow’) set to the words of Judee Sill’s final journal entry\, written 3 weeks before she passed) love often assumes a natural form\, sometimes it becomes artificial\, sometimes cosmic. It is a consciousness here\, interacting with the lovers\, watching them sometimes\, becoming them sometimes. Romance is not the only form of love Haunted Mountain explores; The epic ‘Lullabies’ examines the inexhaustible connection between mother and son; a platonic bond appears in ‘Where you’re coming from’; and grief leads to communion with the dead in ‘Lagrimas’. \nThe songs were written in mountains; by cold springs in the Serra da Estrela of Portugal\, on the submerged volcano of Milos in the Cyclades\, Valle Onsernone in the Swiss Alps (where the cover photo was taken)\, and the Santa Monica range where Buck now calls home – all where his new love was born. “Love inhabits your environment\, animates the inanimate\, charging everything around you with a sense of meaning\,” Meek says. Haunted Mountain asks – is love a form of magic? \nJolie Holland \nAmerican multi-instrumentalist\, bandleader\, producer\, and singer-songwriter Jolie Holland has been on the road since the early 2000s\, releasing nine of her own albums and collaborating on countless others. Her work has been described as a syncretization of American roots\, with rock and experimental elements. She’s been in the studio with Booker T\, Lucinda Williams\, and TV On The Radio; and shared stages with Mavis Staples\, St. Vincent\, Elbow\, and Big Thief. Her collaborators have included Hal Willner\, Kronos Quartet\, and Boots Riley. Lou Reed once told her\, “I could have listened to you all night.” URL:https://www.high-noon.com/event/buck-meek/ LOCATION:High Noon Saloon\, 701 East Washington Avenue\, Madison\, 53703 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.high-noon.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BuckMeek-Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240528T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240528T233000 DTSTAMP:20240328T163106 CREATED:20240222T160022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240301T212840Z UID:9293-1716926400-1716939000@www.high-noon.com SUMMARY:Brainiac DESCRIPTION:  \n\nBAG POLICY\nBags (max size 12″ x 6″ x 12″) are allowed and will be searched upon entry.

Upon completing the lineup with Michelle Bodine (guitar) and Tyler Trent (drums)\, they released two full-lengths and toured vigorously\, establishing themselves as the latest peg in Ohio’s diverse musical timeline. In 1994\, Michelle left the band and was replaced by John Schmersal. After recording a 7″ with Steve Albini for Sup Pop\, the band recorded a handful of songs with Kim Deal (of The Pixies)\, which became their Touch and Go debut single Internationale. \n1996 saw the release of their Touch and Go full-length debut\, Hissing Prigs in Static Couture. Like their two previous full-lengths\, this was also produced by Eli Janney\, and saw the band use less Moog and more random electronic gadgets and noisemakers. Jim O’Rourke produced 1997’s Electroshock for President EP\, in which Brainiac continued their transition into a more electronic rock band. They began to receive serious interest from major labels. On May 23 1997\, however\, only weeks after the EP’s release and the band’s return from a European tour supporting Beck\, Tim lost his life in a car accident in his hometown of Dayton\, Ohio. He was 28. Guitarist John Schmersal went on to form Enon.

It’s a strikingly different world than when Pert Near Sandstone first began near the sandstone river bluffs of St Paul. The former latchkey kids who grew up together a few Mississippi-miles upstream have been performing and recording this past year in earnest\, culminating in their eighth studio album. \n‘Waiting Days’ has all the merit of maturity and the strengths of its four songwriters\, offering responses to each other’s compositions through a long camaraderie. After almost twenty years together\, their bond has grown to reflect that of a band of brothers. By contrast to tik tocs\, reels and tweets\, this album was formed from the wilderness and carved from the heartwood. The band would say their music and sound come about organically\, but under the tall oak trees of the Twin Cities\, those wooden instruments may have been antennas drawn to the marrow\, like a divination wand used to scratch an itch or soothe a wound\, they tapped into this latest collection of songs. \nAs longtime stewards of the modern stringband revival\, Pert Near’s songcraft is informed by the American folk tradition in a delivery of acoustic instrumentation. Their studio efforts have gradually strayed from the reliquary of common stringband selections. Instead\, Pert Near offers another full album of original songs that meditates on this exact present\, rich with context and reference. There are songs that reach into a field that isn’t always aglow with sunlight\, while finding beauty in the tenderness of relationships. There are traveling songs sung by a band that has hit the pavement hard over their time\, simultaneously creating a soundtrack for those all night drives that music festival devotees well know. \nThis isn’t music reaching for the banality of pop hits- this is fresh air for blades of new grass to grow in. At times there is an almost symphonic string section that lifts the melody\, while other times the simplicity of banjo and pedal steel indeed helps us believe the genuine intentions of Pert Near Sandstone’s creative resolve. The interplay of mandolin and fiddle carry much of the music across the songs\, but it’s the mixture of guest instrumentalists that gives this album a unique tapestry of sounds and texture\, opening a deeper space that has become standard in production for Pert Near Sandstone projects. Trampled By Turtles’ fiddler and original Pert Near member\, Ryan Young\, recorded and mixed the album\, along with his fiddle and other accouterments used to bolster the energy of the songs. The intimacy of collaboration is at the heart of this new project\, after all\, which spanned several of the harshest weeks of a midwestern winter. \nAnyone that knows this band is aware of their humor and levity\, and that charm is never far from the surface. It is a central component of their expression and shared experience. The connectedness to community is at the core of Pert Near’s music and philosophy as these songs shine a light upon. We are all here together. As the title track declares\, “…I want to take you with me when I go.” Let’s get ready. Now is our time. The waiting days are over. \nThe MilBillies \nEstablished in late 2018\, The MilBillies immediately hit the ground running\, bringing their unique synthesis of traditional and progressive bluegrass to venues and festivals throughout the upper midwest and beyond. The MilBillies project a veritable wall of sound\, starting with an intentional focus on melodic lyricism in songwriting and finishing with an unparalleled\, action-packed live performance. \nWith their second full-length album\, Capital B\, released in late 2023\, and with festivals such as Blue Ox\, Pickin’ On Picknic\, Boats & Bluegrass\, Summerfest\, IBMA\, John Hartford and so many more under their belts\, The MilBillies are a regular staple of Hot. Dirty. Blue. Grass.

This rare breed consistently puts out great records every couple years\, avoiding the lengthy hiatuses or egregious sonic missteps that often come with achieving longevity. It’s an often unsung reliability\, as few realize how truly remarkable it is to put art into the world at this rate without letting the quality slip. For nearly 15 years\, Cloud Nothings have continued to hit the target\, steadily becoming a part of the fabric of modern indie rock as we know it with a run of fantastic albums. This streak continues unabated with their latest full-length\, Final Summer–an album that’s so assured\, so instantly satisfying\, that it forces you to pause and realize you’re listening to one of the great American rock bands in their prime. \nFormed in 2009 by guitarist/vocalist Dylan Baldi\, Cloud Nothings evolved over the years from a one-man lo-fi project into a finely tuned unit also composed of drummer Jayson Gerycz and bassist Chris Brown. Cloud Nothings\, over so many years and so many records (nine or ten “depending on how you look at it\,” laughs Baldi)\, have existed long enough to witness all sorts of musical moments come and go\, but the secret to their endurance isn’t about savvily navigating trends. “We’ve just never felt inclined to stop\,” Baldi explains. “It’s not like this makes us millions of dollars\, but it’s a great gig\, it’s what we love to do.” Gerycz adds\, “It’s just still so fun every time we do it\, every time we go get in the basement and start writing.”\nAnd it shows. Recorded with Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile\, The War On Drugs\, Torres\, Purling Hiss)\, mixed by Sarah Tudzin (Porches\, Tim Hiedecker\, Pom Pom Squad)\, and mastered by Jack Callahan (Ryley Walker\, Merchandise\, Wolf Eyes)\, Final Summer is bursting with the unbridled joy that only comes from playing guitars and drums loudly. This is not the work of a scrappy new band cramming all of their ideas into a debut album or grizzled veterans grinding through another release: it’s one of the tightest and most invigorating rock bands active today\, driven to make the best version of themselves. “I just like making things\,” says Baldi. “I love having something that I’ve made by the end of the day\, even if it’s just one song. It’s like proof that my day happened. I’m just always trying to refine the thing we do\, which is to make songs that take you from one place to another.” \nVery few bands take listeners on that kind of journey within a hooky rock song as effectively as Cloud Nothings\, and the album’s opening title track proves exactly why. A wash of crackling synths sets the scene before the band roars to life with a cutting riff and Gerycz’s driving beat. From there\, it’s layer after layer of interlocking melodies and guitar lines\, all rising action while Baldi lays out the album’s overarching lyrical ideas. “It’s about feeling alright in the moment\,” Baldi says. “A lot of these songs sort of ended up being about getting by or trying to keep improving despite everything.” \nHis lyrics often take on a mantra-like quality\, using repetition and a one-of-a-kind delivery to dig something deeper out of observations about the mundane or frustrating parts of life. On early Final Summer standout “I’d Get Along\,” Baldi repeats “if something would happen with me…” over and over\, each time adding to the tension before the track’s truly massive chorus explodes with a cacophony of fuzzed-out guitars and a howling “I’d get along.” Throughout the record\, Cloud Nothings strike their trademark balance of inventiveness and accessibility\, with every track full of hooks but also the kinds of details and twists that reward repeat listens. “The Golden Halo” feels like a two-minute-long chorus\, hook after hook careening forward with a motorik beat and ever-growing sea of voices\, while elsewhere songs like “Mouse Policy” or “Running Through The Campus” take very literal ideas and spin them into something else through walls of thick bass and thunderous distortion. \nOn Final Summer closer “Common Mistake\,” Baldi sings\, “This is your life\, it’s a common mistake. We’ll be alright\, just give more than you take.” It’s the kind of deceptively direct lyric that he excels at\, a clear and real sentiment filtered through a melody that’s stuck in your head before the end of the first chorus. The line could almost be an accidental mission statement for the band itself: a group that creates with a workman-like commitment\, providing listeners with something authentic and artful at an unflinching pace. Cloud Nothings don’t miss\, and you won’t want to miss them either.

Adding to the trio’s groundbreaking line of attack are the marathon-length shows that deliver on the promise that every performance is the only one of its kind. \nThree decades after the Los Angeles outfit embarked on its singular journey\, singer-guitarist Michael Gurley\, singer-bassist Joie Calio and drummer Phil Leavitt are celebrating dada’s 30th anniversary. \n“dada is about digging into our roots\, examining and celebrating it.” Says Calio. \nPuzzle was released on September 8\, 1992\, and it didn’t take long for the band’s sonic imprint to find an audience. The album’s first single “Dizz Knee Land” found widespread airplay on alternative and mainstream rock outlets cracking the Top 5 on the Modern Rock Single’s chart and pushing the album’s sales to over 1\,000\,000 worldwide. The band was soon touring around the globe\, opening for the celebrated likes of Crowded House\, Depeche Mode and Sting. \n“People always ask\, ‘Do you still talk to each other after all these years?’ So that’s really why I wanted to commemorate it because no matter the size of the career if you can stick together and still have a desire to play music together you have accomplished something” explains Leavitt. \nDada was founded when Gurley and Calio began writing songs and performing as an acoustic duo in the late ‘80s. But from the beginning\, their approach was unique amidst the onslaught of ‘90s bands featuring lead singers and mostly generic backing bands. \n“Joie and I were both lead singers. But we really found quickly that harmonies were going to be a big strength for us\,” recalled Gurley\, noting both he and Calio are fans of Simon & Garfunkel’s pioneering harmonies. \nGurley noted that once they recruited Leavitt\, they were able to blend the thunderous power of trios such as Cream with the artful harmony-minded songcraft of Simon & Garfunkel. \nThe success of Puzzle was followed in 1994 by American Highway Flower\, featuring the ambitious “Ask the Dust” and astounding “Feet to the Sun\,” dada has gone on to create a magnificent discography featuring a half-dozen full-length albums and an EP. The trio has also issued a number of solo efforts and offshoot projects along the way exploring a range of styles including folk\, blues\, jazz and rock. Gurley and Leavitt were both members of Butterfly Jones while dada was on hiatus in the early ‘00s; Calio has released several solo discs and with X Levitation Cult. Mike Gurley and the Nightcaps are a popular jazz group in Southern California. \nAdditionally\, Leavitt has stepped out from behind the drum set as lead singer and Calio is playing guitar in 7Horse\, a psychedelic blues project that has released 5 albums to date. Bringing a stripped-down approach\, 7Horse cuts to the bone and identifies core feelings and phrases in their music. Their latest effort “The Last Resort” was released earlier this year. Their debut album “Let The 7Horse Run” spawned the hit song Meth Lab Zoso Sticker\, which was chosen by Martin Scorsese for his film The Wolf of Wall Street. Since then\, it’s had over 3 million views\, 35 million streams and over 100\,000 downloads. \nLong-time and new fans of dada all have one thing in common; they are passionate about the band and have a deep connection with its three members. \nThree decades after the Los Angeles outfit embarked on its singular journey\, singer-guitarist Michael Gurley\, singer- bassist Joie Calio and drummer Phil Leavitt are celebrating dada’s continuing legacy.

Duckart’s intimate\, hushed and compelling debut album\, Guard Dog\, was released independently\, as was his subsequent non-album single “House Song.” It’s a sound that often feels like Duckart is singing to you\, the listener\, alone; influenced by the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver\, Searows similarly hits a raw nerve. Duckart has produced all his own music to date\, primarily because he knows just how he wants it to sound\, but also because “I don’t really know how to communicate it to anyone else yet.” \nIn the year since his debut album came out Searows has done three support tours (Matt Maltese and Leith Ross in the US\, and Gracie Abrams in the UK and EU)\, plus the particular honor of opening for an Ethel Cain show. Searows is now extremely excited to announce his very first headline show\, in his hometown of Portland\, Oregon\, on November 16. This show will celebrate the release of his first EP “End Of The World\,” out November 10\, 2023\, on Matt Maltese’s new label Last Recordings On Earth. \nruno plum \nruno plum is an indie folk-rock artist born and raised in rural Minnesota. Nestled in the quiet woods\, runo finds inspiration in everything — deep reflections from the past\, love\, health\, relationships\, art\, or even just the mundane things of everyday life. \nThe majority of runo’s songs are written at home in Minnesota and recorded at fellow artist Philip Brooks’ home studio in southern Germany. The songs capture the same authenticity as when they were written\, brought to life with wind chimes\, rustling trees\, and the distant sound of birds singing. \nMusic has been a constant companion of runo’s throughout her life \, but the art of songwriting began to blossom at the age of 14. Fast forward to 2020\, amidst the quietude of the pandemic\, runo began immersing herself in the world of music production. She spent the year transforming as an artist and writing music more than ever. That year she wrote two EPs\, piano songs\, etc and earlier from ‘20\, which she only released to Bandcamp and Soundcloud. \nAt the beginning of 2021\, runo began sharing videos of her songs on social media. She gathered a small but dedicated audience\, eager to experience the music on streaming platforms. Responding to their requests\, yin to yang made its debut on Spotify\, marking the beginning of a musical journey. Since then\, she has independently released a variety of songs and projects\, including a 6-track EP titled jupiter and a joint EP mountain songs with Philip Brooks. \nHer latest project earlier from ‘20\, brings her back to where it all began. The newly recorded version of her EP has been reborn for wider streaming accessibility and features yin to yang\, a standout track from her collection.

From its summer 1999 inception\, the band swiftly cemented its reputation as a band that puts a unique and personal twist on the Grateful Dead catalogue. Cosmic Charlie is a Dead cover band for folks that are ambivalent about Dead cover bands. \nRather than mimicking the Dead exactly\, Cosmic Charlie chooses to tap into the Dead’s energy and style as a foundation on which to build. The result is healthy balance of creativity and tradition\, where both the band and its audience are taken to that familiar edge with the sense that\, music is actually being MADE here tonight. \nMoving and shaking even the most skeptical of Deadheads\, Cosmic Charlie storms into a town and plays with an energy that eludes other bands\, an energy that sometimes eluded the Dead themselves. Those precious moments during Dead jams when the synchronicity is there and all is right with the world – these are the moments that Cosmic Charlie relishes and feverishly welcomes with open arms. Clearly\, Cosmic Charlie’s audiences are also eager to partake in these moments\, and together with the band\, they have indulged in many memorable evenings. \nMost nights\, Cosmic Charlie walks onstage without a setlist\, not even knowing what the first song will be. Any Dead tune can rear its head at any moment\, and fan requests are always welcome. “INSPIRATON\, MOVE ME BRIGHTLY” is Cosmic Charlie’s mantra\, allowing the music to truly play the band.

And what started off as a new passion project quickly turned into something larger than life. \nFans were quickly enchanted by the upbeat\, groovy sounds Mystery Skulls was producing. As fans grew rabid for more content\, Luis continued to produce new and exciting music that they could lose themselves in. The result is an impressive discography that has amassed over 100 million streams and nearly 550\,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone. \nBack to Life (2019) and Now or Never (2020)\, the latest two full length albums from Mystery Skulls have shown that there’s no limit to the project’s success. Having self-produced and self-released both albums\, Luis poured himself into each album and the fans immediately connected with that. This landed both albums at #1 on the iTunes Electronic charts\, surpassing legendary acts like The Chemicals Brothers and Moby. \nFollowing the release of Back to Life\, Mystery Skulls hit the road\, aiming to reach as many fans as possible\, selling out shows throughout North America and the UK. Luis is passionate about creating powerful moments of joy and release for fans through his live sets\, and because of that he has been able to take Mystery Skulls to a wide array of events from the Voodoo Music and Arts Experience\, to opening for Busta Rhymes at the Cannes Film Festival\, and the ESPN X-Games. \nEvery live set is a chance to let go. Mystery Skulls adds a layer of intrigue to each performance with his backlit set\, leaving him a shadowy\, pulsating figure in the night. The anonymity translates onto his diverse set of fans\, leading them to feel free to lose themselves on the dance floor for the evening. \nDespite COVID-19 halting touring plans throughout the last year\, Mystery Skulls continued to show unstoppable force. July 2021 gave way to a feature in Fortnite of his animated short for fan favorite\, “Ghost.” Keeping up the momentum Mystery Skulls plan to release a full length album at the end of 2021 and will headline in North America throughout Spring 2022. \nThe future is limitless and Mystery Skulls is taking advantage of every second of it.

Born in Berkshire\, he’s a major player with a sound and (punk) attitude that’s impossible to miss and yet despite all of that success\, he’s always kept his artistic feet on the ground. That’s extremely evident as we chat over Zoom for this new interview as 2022 comes into view. “I think I’ve got more fire now than it had in the beginning. And I like that. I remember talking to Derrick May back in the 90s at a café in Belgium and all we talked about was the hunger. And the hunger was born out of the life you’ve lived\, how you grew up and what you went through. And the situation for me growing up\, although I didn’t have a bad upbringing\, it was flippin’ hard\, man. The world was not how I wanted it to be and I didn’t fit in. People romanticize the 90s but the path was not easy. I don’t want to be bogged down by the rules. Society. And unfortunately\, that’s something that’s even stronger in me now.” \nA bona fide pioneer of sound design and performance with a singular musical vision\, Slater first minted the P.A.S. alias back in 1993. Since then\, Planetary Assault Systems has become a byword for hypnotic\, soulful and funk-heavy techno that blurs the lines between pure psychedelic and peak-time\, main room techno for audiences large and small. Whatever the environment\, Luke Slater’s work as Planetary Assault Systems captures the very best elements of techno for audiences across the globe. Crucially\, this is music with a huge vision and scope\, meaning Luke has fans across the world\, from London and Berlin to Detroit via Dekmantel and back. It’s no accident that his latest album comes to a close with the classic sonics of ‘Nano Chameleon’: this futuristic\, forceful slice of funk is powered by white noise percussion and never lets go for a minute. It’s the same spiritual ethos that has powered Luke’s own mind-set since the early days and it’s no accident that he’s been called “one of techno’s most chameleonic enigmas” in the past. And when you’ve released on labels from NovaMute and Ostgut Ton to Peacefrog and his own Mote-Evolver imprint\, you’d be a fool to argue against the karmic chameleon.
