Bedtime Enterprise with Pixie Cut Tentacle Head - An Interview

Alex Mahan é a mente e o criador do brutalmente sonhador Pixie Cut Tentacle Head.

Shoegaze e psicodelismo unidos em pró de viagens sem rumos, embaladas a jazzmasters, delays, reverbs e muito muito wall of sound envolto a sensações lunáticas e delirantes.

O Pixie Cut Tentacle Head é droga musical pesada para ser degustada sem a menor moderação sequer.

***** Interview with Pixie Cut Tentacle Head *****

Q. When did PCTH start? Tell us about the history...
I started a band with a few friends when we were really young. We recorded an album and played a lot of shows but eventually split up after five years or so. About a year after that, I started recording again and put my first few songs up on Bandcamp. I never really got to do exactly what I wanted in the band, so making music by myself just seemed like a natural next step.

Q: Who are your influences?
- My newest stuff was probably most influenced by bands like LSD and the Search for God, Ovlov, Tame Impala, and the Upsetters.

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
- Always a tough question but right now I'm feeling something like this
1. Loveless - MBV (of course)
2. Sung Tongs - Animal Collective
3. Velocity : Design : Comfort - Sweet Trip
4. (self-titled) - Melody's Echo Chamber
5. Fantasma - Cornelius

Q. How do you feel playing live?
- I actually haven't taken this project to the stage and currently don't have the desire or resources to do so.

Q. How do you describe PCTH´s sounds?
- PCTH is a muddy mess of psychedelic introspection and reverb pedal worship. If you like amateur production, whisper-singing, and Fender Jazzmasters, then you might kinda like what I do.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
- It's pretty straightforward. I record guitars, bass, and vocals in my bedroom on a very inexpensive portable field recorder and I use a MIDI controller connected to my DAW for the drums. It's about as low budget as music can be, so there isn't a really concrete "process" to my recordings. I just kinda do it.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
- Check out a band called spellbreaker. They play an interesting combo of stoner rock and shoegaze. All they have on their bandcamp page is a two song demo, but I'm very excited to see what they do in the future.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
- Well, right now, I'm working on a cover of Easy by Real Estate, but I'm not sure if I'll actually put it out. Aside from that, I would love to cover Stream Running Over by the Apples in Stereo or Island Groovies by Makeout Videotape.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
- I just want to keep doing what I'm doing. I hope I can continue to improve and try my hand at different sounds, styles, and approaches. If people for some reason end up liking it, then that would be cool, but I'm not really trying to make a career out of my music.

Q: Any parting words?
- Thanks for having me on here, and thank you in advance to any other neighbors that dig the flavor.

Mission In Question with June Dreaming - An Interview

Bruce Palmer e Jamie June formam o duo June Dreaming. Em seu caldeirão de referências e delírios sonoros chega a ser basicamente impossível classificá-los como ambient, prog, shoegaze, dreampop, space, etc, etc, etc.

Todos esses elementos aparecem e desaparecem na vasta discografia deles, não havendo espaço definições. Talvez o melhor exemplo desta vasta gama de possibilidades seja "Transitions" lançado ano passado, um verdadeira odisseia extra sensorial.

Feche os olhos e viaje sem pressa em  companhia do June Dreaming.

***** Interview with June Dreaming *****

Q. When did June Dreaming start? Tell us about the history...
Bruce Palmer: I originally began creating music under the name June Dreaming in 1997, writing and recording music under the name as a solo artist until 2014. During that time I released an instrumental album called "The Dark Symphony" which Jamie (vocalist) came across in 2013. She really liked my work and contacted me about working together and we have been a team ever since.

Jamie June: In 2014 I discovered Bruce's solo work on instantly fell in love. His music inspired me to reach out to him in hopes of collaborating on a musical project. After our first meeting Bruce asked me to be June Dreaming's permanent vocalist which I accepted. In October we released our first EP together, titled "Transitions".

Q: Who are your influences?
Bruce: My biggest influences are bands like Pink Floyd, Rush, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure...but I take little bits and pieces away from everything I listen to, whether it be Slayer or Madonna or Danny Elfman. I always key into something that I can take away from any given piece of music.

Jamie: I find inspiration in any form of artists, hardworking people that are not noticed. Those who are doing what they love and receive no reward.

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
Bruce: “Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness” The Smashing Pumpkins, “Dark Side Of The Moon” Pink Floyd, “Disintegration” The Cure, “2112” Rush, “Siamese Dream” The Smashing Pumpkins

Jamie: “Reincarnate” Motionless In White, all of the albums from Pierce The Veil, “When I Am God” Oh, Sleeper

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Bruce: Initially a solo project, and now a duo, we have yet to gather enough like-minded musicians together to actually get June Dreaming our in front of a live audience, which is extremely frustrating because it is a huge goal and the next logical step in our progression. As intimate and as passionate as as our music is in recorded form, I really think it would evolve to another level in a live setting and I can't wait until we have the opportunity to take that step and make it happen.

Jamie: I would someday love to do some live shows. I love the freedom of being crazy...screaming and singing on a stage. I'm not in a rush to do it though. I am happy with the direction we are going in at this point. It will take time to find a team that will mesh with us I am sure we will in time

Q. How do you describe June Dreaming sounds?
Bruce: Our overall sound is pretty heavily influenced by the 'wall of sound' philosophy. We like layers of sound and texture, we like to employ the use of sounds moving around in the stereo field a lot, using reverb and delay effects to create the illusions of space and depth. We particularly enjoy utilizing Jamie's voice as an instrument/effect, in addition to traditional singing.

Jamie: Out of this world.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
Bruce: Every song is a little different but the process usually begins with me coming up with a broad outline of a song. I'll then sit down and work out the different parts and put together a rough recorded demo of the arrangement which I then give to Jamie. She works with that to create her vocal parts. Once we combine the two we have a good idea of where the song is going or whether we even want to pursue it at all. From there we start putting together a complete mix, re-recording parts as needed and fleshing out the final song. As for lyrics, I usually give Jamie a broad idea or concept and then she writes the words themselves. Every once in a while I will suggest something specific but most of what you hear comes from her heart. One notable exception where I actually helped with writing the lyrics is our song "Zephyr (Part 1)".

Jamie: Bruce sends me an instrumental demo and I create a melody for it. Sometimes I will lay the melody down first but other times I will find some background vocals first. Some of our songs I find two melodies to add. After that I usually record the vocals in pieces then bring the vocal tracks back to Bruce where he mixes everything together and adds or changes instruments to coincide with what I've come up with. From there we make any adjustments that seem fit and call the song complete.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Bruce: I haven't paid much attention to mainstream music in quite a long time. I think the last two mainstream bands that I got into were Metric and Coheed And Cambria, so check them out. I listen to a lot of unsigned and underground music now. Mainstream music is all designed to fit nicely into a certain mold so everything gets stale and repetitive very quickly to me. With underground music there is no end to the variety, and with so many music websites available the the internet makes it very easy to find new stuff.

Jamie: I couldn't really consider her a new artist, but I know she's not well known for her music so check out some of Milla Jovovich's music. It's different and creative. She is one of my favorite actresses and when I found out she did music as well I had to listen! She did some music for the movie Underworld - it's an awesome, dreamy space pop song.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Bruce: We throw around ideas for songs to cover all the time but so far we haven't actually sat down and done one yet. We've discussed dozens probably, some of which are Joe Walsh (The Confessor), Mark Crozer And The Rels (Broken Out In Love), The Bangles (In Your Room), Coheed And Cambria (The Crowing), My Bloody Valentine (When You Sleep) and a lot of different songs from the 1980's.

Jamie: I am a hardcore fan so I would love to do A Day to Remember's “2nd Sucks”. This song is super fun to dance to! I would like to sing “Abigail” by Motionless In White because this song is my favorite from them and it means a lot to me. I would also love to do “Stinkfist” by Tool.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We are currently completing the last few songs from our upcoming 3rd album "Abandon The Mothership". Beyond that, we have literally 8-10 full length albums of material to work with, so we are just getting started!

Q: Any parting words?
We would love to thank our fans whose support at times has been absolutely overwhelming. We wouldn't be where we are without your support and encouragement, and we are very thankful for each and every one of you!

Primary Feelings with Lancastell - An Interview

Quando uma preciosidade chega a nós em formas, sons e sentimentos puros, cristalinos e adocicados é inevitável não haver aquela usual comoção e o bem estar torna-se completo.

Ainda mais quando isso acontece sem querer, aí meus caros, a coisa torna-se mais forte ainda. Este é o caso que aconteceu quando da primeira audição do EP de estreia dos mexicanos do Lancastell, o disco chama-se apropriadamente "Primary Feelings". Remetendo a gente do calibre de Wild Nothing, Moscow Olympics e Radio Dept., o Lancastell cometeu uma estreia absolutamente envolvente e brilhante.

Para ser degustado a qualquer momento, seja sozinho ou bem acompanhado, pouco importa, o Lancastell por se tornar seu novo amor, vai por mim.

***** Interview with Lancastell *****

Q. When did Lancastell start? Tell us about the history...
Lancastell starts in 2014, the drummer and bassist were in a post punk band called “Moon fiction”, they wanted to start a new project with another influences, and where so many local bands who sounds like the old Post punk bands. They decided to call Osvaldo Gonzalez (guitar/vocals) to work in a few demos, that’s how it born Lancastell, playing a few dream pop songs in the live gigs and working constantly in new sounds, based on the current noise bands.

Q: Who are your influences?
We have very different influences between each other, Mauricio (synthesizer and percussions) loves the electro pop bands of the high record labels; he is also, very close to the local bands influenced by the current dream pop sounds. Kevin (bassist) and Omar (drummer) loves the punk rock sounds of the 90´s and early 2000, that was his first motivation to make music, they also, follow old bands like The chameleons, The sound and current bands, like The soft moon, Soviet Soviet, Ceremony and Motorama.

Osvaldo grows up with the brit pop bands of the 90´s, (Suede, Seahorses and The charlatans), he is very influenced by the bands of “Sarah Records” label, and the first shoegaze bands like Chapterhouse, Adorable, The Boo Radleys and Swirlies, and other early sounds like Teenage Jesus and the jerks, Spectrum and Suicide. As a band, we love the latest records of Deerhunter and The Radio Dept.

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
Chapterhouse (Whirlpool LP)
Cocteau twins (Four-Calendar Café)
Blur (Modern life is rubbish)
Suicide (Alan Vega and Martin Rev)
New order (Low-live)

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Every time is different; we use to play in very small venues, with bands that plays cover songs. Its been, since always, the same excitement thoughts, always like a therapy, we are very fortuned to do that we do; recently, we feel funny about the connection with our public, we are selling a show, a connection, several feelings, and that´s the gorgeous responsibility that we ever had.

Q. How do you describe Lancastell sounds?
We start sounding like the post punk revival bands in our local scene; now, we are kind of overwhelmed by the revival sounds, we don’t like to think in make a shoegaze song, a noise song, a new wave song; we just make songs based in the mix of our influences and personal feelings; and maybe, that give us a Dream pop/noise pop tag.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
Our current EP is recorded in a local studio, called Black bedroom, we were play that 6 songs in our live gigs and we decided to put them in a formal record, with the conventional process of mastering. We are planning to make some LO-FI demos and record our next work in another Mexican studio.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Mexico is charged of new bands, new sounds, new talents; we tried to know and make contact with all that bands, it’s like a society, sharing the shows, the public target, the ideologies and the personal empathy; we love the sounds of “Bellenger” and “I can fly”, who are involve in Post punk revival sounds, they have a very honest material. We also follow and recommend “Oceanss”, Has a shadow”, “Buried under stars”, “Mint field”, “Sadfields” and the giants “Vaya Futuro”.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
We use to play a cover of “On our honey moon” by The wake, and “Night in June” of Linear movement (Autumn), which was like an experiment, because that’s songs are made with synthesizers and drum machines; now, he think a lot in make a version of “Winona” by Drop Nineteens or some classic song of Suicide.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We are finishing the promotion of our first EP, we are making new song and deals to play out of our land; we want to record in October and make some shows and a tour with our local bands.

Q: Any parting words?
Thanks for pay attention to us, it’s a huge motivation, and thanks to all the people who are buying our music, a dream come true.

Some of The Songs with Sound and Fury - An Interview

Os novatos chineses sônicos e sonhadores do Sound and Fury possuem teoricamente três fixações doentias, sonoramente falando, são elas, MBV, Slowdive e Fleeting Joys.

Facilmente a conexão entre as três referências é altamente óbvia, ruídos, sonhos, melancolia, ou seja, shoegaze.

O Sound and Fury não possuem aquela "fúria" do MBV ou a melancolia do Slowdive, ou a avalanche de ruídos do Fleeting Joys, tudo em "Some of the Songs", primeiro EP deles é mais contido e dosado, mas sempre belo.

Uma promissora estreia dos chineses do Sound and Fury.

***** Interview with Sound and Fury *****

Q. When did Sound and Fury start? Tell us about the history...
1. hold for a long time. On December last year, we came back with a new drummer Andrew who is from Canada.

Q: Who are your influences?
2. At first FS was a punk boy and played for some punk bands. After he listened to some Nugaze/C86 bands, all of a sudden he found the sound which he always wanted to make. Like everyone else, My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are his most favorite bands, ranking regardless.

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
3. My Bloody Valentine
My Bloody Valentine < EP's 1988 - 1991>
Slowdive
Fleeting Joys
Various Artists < NME C86>

Q. How do you feel playing live?
4. In the beginning we really cared about the live sound, as in critical. But after a while I realised there is a big difference between live and studio, and my tone changed a lot since the beginning. So right now as long as the sound fits some simple sound check’s need, I’m fine with that.

Q. How do you describe Sound and Fury sounds?
5. I was trying to copy My Bloody Valentine in every perspectives when I formed SAF, but right now I just want to keep and be myself when I am writing new stuff. And I am trying to let my bandmates reduce their own influences of listening experiences as much as they can and really contribute to this band.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
6. Only in the beginning between 2011 to 2012, we recorded several songs in the studio, like . But right now I am recording and mixing on my own with my laptop. I will communicate with the drummer and bassist sometimes, but most of the time me and KY are writing the songs.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
7. I didn’t listen to the annually list of each year, and barely digged new bands. I only listen to a few bands and albums again and again and again. Recently I listened to Flyying Colours, The Bilinda Butchers and Spotlight Kid. And I am so happy that we can warm up for The Bilinda Butchers one month later from now !

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
8. I am not good at covering, so we only do covers when I want to excercise the band. But most of the time we won’t wasting our time on this.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
9. Right now we are doing some shows without KY, after she get back from taking care of our baby(yeah, we had a baby last year), we will record our first full-length and tour China. Hope some day we can tour outside China, haha.


Q: Any parting words?
10. Thank you very much for the interview, at last, I just want to repeat one of my favorite lines from KY , "Shoegaze is a maze of soundscapes which once you get lost in it, you just never want to get out of it.";)

Died Red with Teen Divorce - An Interview

Ben Saunders comanda a gangue da Florida, USA, sob a alcunha de Teen Divorce.

Um pegajoso e acima de tudo corajoso indie rock, seguindo a linha do The Drums e do Turnover, porém com trejeitos lo-fi.

Uma boa iniciação no som dos caras é através do EP "Be", com três exercícios desse surf indie lo-fi sonhador.

Para dias ensolarados obviamente,

***** Interview with Teen Divorce *****

Q. When did Teen Divorce start? Tell us about the history...
Teen Divorce is an Indie Rock/Punk band from Jacksonville Fl. that mixes gloomy lyrics with an upbeat sound reminiscent of Chapterhouse, Turnover, The Foo Fighters, and 60’s R’N’B. The qband is formed under the idea of “helping people live in the moment through music”, and can be reached via email at teendivorce@gmail.com.

The band is the sole brainchild of Jacksonville musician Ben Saunders, who began writing material for the band three years ago as a student at the University of North Florida.

“I had had a breakup, and lost all my friends in the duration of 1 day,” Said Saunders. “With no one to distract me, I began writing music at a really quick clip, sometimes recording three rough demos of a song in a day.”

Saunders had planned on releasing the songs as an EP in the Summer of 2014, but instead retreated to the mountains of Tennessee, writing more and more demos at night and poems during the day when he worked as a conductor at local Fox news-sponsored disneyland copycat, Dollywood. It was at that job that he had a life changing experience.

“As weird as it sounds, having Katy Perry call me a crackhead was what changed my life.” Said Ben Saunders. “I was working on the ride, and was very excited to meet her, because, for all my pretensions, “firework” is still a fucking hit. But when I went to meet her, she told me snidely to “save her some crack” as the ride pushed off. And something about that made me want to pursue music ’til the day I died.”

After that summer, Ben recorded his first EP, be, using whatever studio equipment he could borrow from friends, and releasing it via bandcamp. It wasn’t until his second release, upcoming single “Died Red”, that Saunders felt he truly found the sound of Teen Divorce.

“Josh (Cobb) was a really good thing for the direction of the band.” Said Saunders. “It was really cool to have an actual producer who knew what they were doing, and who could show me the ropes.”

Q: Who are your influences?
Our influences are listed above lol.

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
1. Slowdive (Artist), Souvlaki(Album); this is the album that completely shifted everything about how I view life, music, etc.

2. The Ramones, The Ramones- Literally all one would ever need to listen to to write great songs.

3. Chief Keef, Bang 2- This one is oddly sentimental. I spent a lot of time two years ago skating alone, jamming out to these songs. It was what got me over a break up, and it was really weirdly numbing and therapeutic to listen to.

4. Converge, All We love we leave behind- Kurt ballou is my all time favorite guitarist, and producer. Every moment in this album flows perfectly and is impossible to pull away from.

5. Parquet Courts, paint it gold- A masterclass in dynamics, noise, and beauty.

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Playing live feels like truly being immersed in the moment. I feel at home, complete, and truly me. I love seeing people react to music, and feeling responsible for this.

Q. How do you describe Teen Divorce´s sounds?
A well thought out intentional moment captured in sound. Also, indie/shoegaze.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
Died red was recorded with Josh Cobb. He's played in a ton of great bands, and he truly understood what the song needed to sound awesome.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Our friends in weekend atlas are truly awesome dudes with a great new single, She's on Fire, out on spotify. Intervention is another great band coming out of South Florida. Also, Teenage Wrist is the best new band that has come out in years and deserves allllll the respect, praise, and success possible.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Probably converge covering chief keef. I feel like that would be incredible.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
Teen Divorce is the only thing I will do until I die by either gods hand or mine. I have new songs, new merch ideas, and as soon I nail down a full band, the will and resources to tour forever.

Q: Any parting words?
Love yourself, be in the moment, and truly think slow.

Hate Me For This with Colic - An Interview

Meghann Dyke e Jimmy Turner formam o melancólico e sonhador Colic.

Diversas demos podem e devem ser saboreadas sem pressa e preferivelmente em seguidas vezes. Isso tudo para sentir a essência de um duo que muito provavelmente, e, infelizmente deve ter uma vida breve, muito breve, o motivo? Bem melhor ler a entrevista...

Uma pena porque a conexão musical entre Meghann e Jimmy é de uma sinergia imensa.

***** Interview with Colic *****

Q. When did Colic start? Tell us about the history...
Meghann: COLIC started one late night after I begged Jimmy to let me come over to his house to jam. He always made beautiful music and sent it to me when l was feeling bad or just when I needed a pick-me-up. We've been friends for 5 or so years and I'm grateful to have been able to make some tasty jams with the best musician/friend I've known.

Q: Who are your influences?
Meghann: Daniel Romano, Angel Olsen, Avett Brothers, The Microphones, The Strokes

Q. Make a list of 5 of the best albums of all time…
Meghann:
Weezer-Blue Album,
Avett Brothers-I and Love and You,
Marissa Nadler-July,
Circa Survive-Blue Sky Noise,
Bee Gees-Saturday Night Fever,
Beach Boys-Pet Sounds

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Meghann: I've never played live, and COLIC won't be unless we figure out a way to tour with two people living on opposite sides of the country :( Jimmy is back in North Carolina and I relocated to California to be with my boyfriend. Jimmy plays with his other band though! It Looks Sad

Q. How do you describe Colic´s sounds?
Meghann: it's very dreamy, and spooky, and amateur. I've never sung, and Jimmy has made me a better musician without realizing it. Our songs can have the saddest lyrics, and we will somehow figure out a way to make them sound a little "lighter", and better able to identify with.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
Meghann: a fuck load of box wine, and watching trash tv, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or taking a walk. It took a bit for me to figure out how to be able to record my voice without getting too much background noise in the track, but even with random ambience we were very happy with our scratch tracks recorded in Jimmy's bedroom!

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Meghann: Therightovers.bandcamp.com (my new band), It Looks Sad/Tara Oaks (Jimmy's two other bands, It Looks Sad has a bandcamp!) and as always, Daniel Romano. If you guys like heavier music, check out Southern CA's local hardcore bands Seance and Slow Decay. They rip.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Meghann: The Avett Brothers and The Animals' House of The Rising Sun

Q: What are your plans for the future?
Meghann: playing music, hopefully finding a job in a museum, and making Jimbo Slice fly out to CA to write music with me.

Q: Any parting words?
Meghann: I miss Jimmy, and COLIC has three demo's out that we wrote in 4 months; we just hope our music hits people as hard as it hit us. Always take that leap and if you want to sing, then fucking do it.

Visiondeath with Lazy Legs - An Interview

Michael Tenzer é basicamente sócio aqui do TBTCI. Eyes Behind The Veil, Savage Sister e com o próprio Lazy Legs, são "apenas" as bandas das quais Michael já passou por estas páginas.

Michael, ao lado de Laura Wagner e Nicholas Piontek estão prestes a debutar com o primeiro álbum do Lazy Legs que já esta em pré venda e com dois aperitivos absolutamente maravilhosos, "Open" e "Sparks" afirmam e atestam o que virá a ser "Visiondeath", título do álbum.

Shoegaze e noisepop em nível máximo, para nenhum fã colocar qualquer tipo de defeito sequer.

Simplesmente magistral.

***** Interview with Lazy Legs *****

Q. When did Lazy Legs start? Tell us about the history…
We started in the fall of 2014 not taking it too seriously but we enjoyed making music together. It took about a year to figure out the direction we wanted to pursue and once we found it, we started writing and recording songs for our first EP towards the end of 2015.

Q: Who are your influences?
(Early) My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins, Whirr, No Joy, Sonic Youth, Helen, Ringo Deathstarr

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
In no particular order:
Nico - Chelsea Girl
Whirr - Pipe Dreams
Sleep Over - Forever
Lubec - The Thrall
Thee Oh Sees - The Dream/Carrion Crawler

Q. How do you feel playing live?
We’re still in the process of getting ready to play live, but we are both nervous and looking forward to it. Hopefully, we’ll have a show or two this summer.

Q. How do you describe Lazy Legs' sounds?
We feel we have a natural tendency to cherry pick ideas within shoegaze and noise rock, blending them together into a noisy but atmospheric sound.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
It typically starts with one of us having an idea for a guitar part or bass line, then once we agree on something we like, we figure out a supporting accompaniment. Our choices are heavily rooted in feeling rather than technique or structure. We feel fine-tuning should be reserved towards the end of the creative process.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Jaguwar, Haunter, Lubec, Lunch Ladies, Future Death, Daguerreotype, King Woman. Small Wood House, Paincave, Pale Dian, LACING, Rei Clone, Typical Girls, Vet Trip, Replicant, Ganser, eraser eraser, never.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
We were actually just talking about doing a cover of Patsy Cline recently.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
Finishing up our debut album, VISIONDEATH, by the end of June. We’re working on a music video which will come out before the album drops. Also, looking to play shows this summer.

Q: Any parting words?
Thanks so much for the interview and keep up the cool tribute compilations!

Psiconáutica with Linda Guilala - An Interview

Das cinzas do Juniper Moon há seis anos atrás nascia uma pequena bela preciosidade chamada Linda Guilala, diretamente de Vigo, Espanha.

Shoegaze da melhor e mais perfeita qualidade, obviamente com doces e sutis pitadas de dreampop e sempre sonhadoramente ruidoso.

Há poucos dias atrás o Linda Guilala disponibilizou sua mais nova relíquia sonora, "Psiconáutica" e seus vinte canções. Um exagero? Muito pelo contrário, na realidade um verdadeiro delírio.

Arrisco a dizer que "Psiconaútica" é um dos grandes álbuns desse 2016, pelo menos por aqui no TBTCI.

***** Interview with Linda Guilala *****

Q. When did Linda Guilala start? Tell us about the history..
Eva and I played in a Punk Pop band called Juniper Moon. We fell in love and we started to live together in Santiago de Compostela. We spent most of the afternoons making indie pop songs at home with an old multitrack. From those fist demos came up Linda Guilala. Then everything happened so fast, gigs, recordings...

Q: Who are your influences?
We love a lot of different things, 60´s bands, all the C-86, but also a lot of vintage electronic music and synth pop, darkwave, japanesse shoegaze... We try to listen to as much music as we can, no matter the release year or the origin country...

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
Family "Un soplo en el corazon"
Grauzone "Grauzone"
O.M.D "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark"
Silvania "En Cielo de Oceano"
The left banke "walk away renée/pretty ballerina"

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Sometimes happiness but sometimes fear...

Q. How do you describe Linda Guilala sounds?
I think we make noise pop songs, shoegazer songs, but pop in any case.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
Well, Eva and I use to make everything in our home studio. Everything (composition, recording and mixing), except for the mastering process, is totally a Linda Guilala´s work.

Then, this last record was built in to different parts. The fist part was song composition and recording in a more classic way and the second part was working a lot at the studio where we have composed all the preludes, different noises and loops between songs. So the whole process of recording was different in some way this time. We have also started to work with Xavier Alarcon for the mastering and with Marco Maril (Apenino) who composed a bass line for one of the songs in this record.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
In Spain Monte Terror or Berlina, in Galicia Chicharron but there are lots of fantastic bands all over the world.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Grauzone, but we didn´t make it because we love and respect a lot that band and I think that we´d just ruin any of their songs...

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We would like to play as much as we can and we will try to go for the fist time to Latin America and do some gigs there.

Q: Any parting words?
We love As Mercenarias!!!

Boronic! with Frog God - An Interview

Fritação intensa, viagens adocicadas que certamente terão mais eficácia estimuladas por aquele quadradinho mágico que colocado debaixo da língua vai te ajudar a alçar voos delirantes, e a trilha sonora indicada para esta trip vem de San Diego, Califórnia, de onde mais poderia vir, não!?!?

Boronic!, novíssimo devaneio sonoro do já predileto da casa, Frog God, é o aditivo perfeito para trips coloridas e brilhantes. Um disco ensolarado para ativar ainda mais seu bem estar.

Frog God ama todos nós, e nós todos amamos o Frog God, simples assim.

***** Interview with Frog God *****

Q. When did Frog God start? Tell us about the history...
Frog God was actually formed from the ashes of a previous musical venture. I started a music project in the summer of 2014, called ‘Nevergreens’; I made three instrumental electronic albums, all revolving around themes of depression, suicide, loss, anxiety, disassociation, etc. All in all, it was admittedly somewhat of a morbid and dark project. Many of my peers weren’t too receptive of the music due to its dark nature; I feel it turned people away from the project. However, I wrote one song that immediately distinguished itself from the others; it was entitled, of course, “Frog God”. The song itself concerned a charismatic drug dealer and a euphoric drug trip gone awry. So obviously, the song was psychedelic, fun & carefree in nature. The more I listened to the song, the more I realized that this was the exact sound I wanted to go for in my music. So I abandoned ‘Nevergreens’ and I started ‘Frog God’.

Q: Who are your influences?
Mainly Ween. Ween completely overturned my entire view of music the first time I heard them. But I also listen to a lot of Devendra Banhart, Frank Zappa, They Might Be Giants, Sweet Trip, Father John Misty, & The Beatles when I’m preparing to write a Frog God song.

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
1. GodWeenSatan: The Oneness, Ween
2. Mala, Devendra Banhart
3. Velocity : Design : Comfort, Sweet Trip
4. Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, Spiritualized
5. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West

Q. How do you feel playing live?
I’ve been performing all my life, so performing in front of an audience is much easier for me than, say, holding a steady conversation with no awkward pauses.

Q. How do you describe Frog God´s sounds?
Frog God is very psychedelic-rock-oriented with hints of freak folk, dream pop, prog, and shoegaze sprinkled in.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
I always have a notebook on me just in case I ever get the itch to write some lyrics. But the process usually entails me writing lyrics, stumbling onto a cool chord progression or guitar riff, seeing if any of my lyrics fit this new chord progression/riff, and if they do, then a song is born. I then make a rough draft demo, which I then record over for the final product. Songs usually take ten minutes to write, but post-production can take weeks and weeks and weeks.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
R.L. Kelly is an incredible musician who I was very lucky to see live last year. Mitski is also super cool, I love her and I love her stuff (be sure to listen to “First Love/Late Spring” which is one of my favorite songs of all time). There’s also Jay Som, Elvis Depressedly, Eskimeaux, etc. They’re all great.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Easy: Ween. I would absolutely love to completely recreate their discography in my own style; I’ve already covered a few of their songs and definitely plan on releasing more in the future.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
I’m going to release my first full-length album, Boronic! on June 6th (06-06-16). I’m going to start doing as many shows as possible. I’m going to write much more music and I’m going to release as many albums as I humanly can without bursting into dust.

Q: Any parting words?
First of all, thanks to Renato for reaching out to me for this great interview! Secondly, be sure to listen to my new album on June 6th, it will be available on Soundcloud & Bandcamp. Leave me feedback! Let me know if you love my songs or if you hate them with a passion! And remember, Frog God loves you.

It´s Getting Better with Dirty Sidewalks - An Interview

Quando uma banda estreia com um single como "It´s Getting Better/Hey Girl", basicamente o futuro abre-se completamente e aquele frescor da canção pop perfeita volta brutalmente e nos faz abrir um sorriso de ponta a ponta no rosto.

Pense em Dandy Warhols, Ride, Jesus and Mary Chain em seus melhores momentos, misture tudo e o resultado é o trio de Seattle Dirty Sidewalks.

Simplesmente viciante e pegajoso é o que posso resumir a sensação de ouvir o single dos caras.

Para ouvir extremamente alto e no repeat.

***** Interview with Dirty Sidewalks *****

Q. When did Dirty Sidewalks start? Tell us about the history...
Dirty sidewalks "officially" started in about 2011. Myself (Erik Foster -guitar/vocals) and Evan O'neil (bass guitar) were playing in a more traditional rock band, when we started experimenting with some old drum machines in our rehearsal space. Eventually we worked up a few songs that didn't really fit with the other band we were playing in, and showed them to my brother, Evan . He was just as stoked as we were on how the songs were turning out, and we figured that together we could really turn the project into something cool. From there we just started practicing a lot, working on more new songs and playing as many shows as we could.

Q: Who are your influences?
There's a lot. Some of the biggest influences are Oasis, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Dandy Warhols, RIDE, Love and Rockets, The Beach Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, Charlatans UK, Morrissey ... To name a few

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
In no particular order:
Dandy Warhols - Dandys Rule OK?
Ride - Nowhere
Oasis - Be Here Now
Morrissey - Your Arsenal
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Automatic

Q. How do you feel playing live?
I think playing live is the best part of the whole thing - as long as all the pedals, cables, amps and drum machines are working properly. When we're playing live to a crowd who is really digging it, we dig it even more, and everyone kind of gets in the same zone. It's hard to explain, but when it happens it rules.

Q. How do you describe Dirty Sidewalks sounds?
I would describe our sound as Fuzzy, blissed out pop music. Most of our arrangements are pretty straightforward, but we strive to do interesting things with vocal harmonies, and interweaving guitar parts to try to create a sound that's both heavy and "soft" at the same time.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
Everything up to this point has been recorded in my brother's home studio/kitchen/laundry room (he's one hell of an engineer), using a mix of tape and Pro Tools. Once we get the drum machine tracks in place, we typically start layering in the guitar parts. From there we'll record the bass guitar, and any organic percussion we feel like the song needs. The last thing we usually add is the vocals.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Our friends Vibragun, (also from Seattle) have a great record out. Also, I recently heard a band called Sulk that I've been digging.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
We've been talking about recording a cover of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe"- but more in the style of the version that The Turtles did.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
Right now we're finishing mixes for our first full-length album which is due out towards the end of the summer. It will have 12 new songs on it, and be released on CD,LP, and cassette via No-Count Records (nocountrecords.com). After that we'll be touring to support it.

Q: Any parting words?
Pick up our most recent 7" at dirtysidewalks.bandcamp.com!

Aguas Frescas with Wildfires - An Interview

Austin, Texas ficou mundialmente conhecida por conceber ao mundo algumas das melhores bandas de psych moderno, vide Black Angels por exemplo, mas, a água de lá não contém apenas elementos ácidos, pelo contrário.

Um grandioso exemplo da efervescência musical da cidade é o quarteto Wildfires. Aliando elementos da pureza melódica de gente como Lloyd Cole ou os Smiths junto ao indie rock dos prediletos do Yo La Tengo, temos a fórmula mágica do magistral guitar pop sonhador que permeia o som dos caras.

Faça sua iniciação ao maravilhoso mundo musical do Wildfires pelo elegante, contemplativo e sonhador "Aguas Frescas", certamente seu astral vai melhorar absurdamente.

***** Interview with Wildfires *****

Q. When did Wildfires start? Tell us about the history...
We started about 4 years ago as a two-piece. We were guitar, a loop station, and drummer. We wrote a set full of songs and played a few shows, and promptly decided to make a whole band out of it. We tried out a few lead guitar players and it was awful. We kept getting crazy people, but then we found Johanna, and it was awesome. Then right after that we got Aneil to play bass.

We got our sound with a little trial and error, but once we found what we wrote naturally, we got really productive and excited about what we were doing.

Q: Who are your influences?
Our influences change all the time really. We started by wanting to sound like The War on Drugs, Real Estate, and Kurt Vile. But over time we started being influenced my more eclectic stuff, like MBV, Protomartyr, Deerhunter, Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth, Viet Cong, Lower Dens, Can… the list goes on. We all listen to music religiously, so our influences will always be dynamic.

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
My Bloody Valentine-Loveless
Deerhunter- Monomania
Can- Tago Mago
Yo La Tengo- I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One
Pavement-Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Unwound- New Plastic Ideas

Oh, that’s six. Well, I could’ve kept going… It’s really too hard to choose five.

Q. How do you feel playing live?
We love it. We play live a lot. If we go too long between shows, we start to get really antsy.

Q. How do you describe Wildfires sounds?
I think we are Dream Pop band with Post-Punk sensibilities. The mission was to create songs that made you feel the way you did when you first heard Shoegaze, or the feeling you get on an overnight drive when your favorite mix tape was playing. Nostalgic, shimmery, but new.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
We knew the exact producer and studio we wanted to work with. We went to Erik Wofford at Cacophony Studios, famous for recording Bill Callahan, The Black Angels, Explosions in The Sky, among many other legendary artists. Erik was on-board to record, mix, and master the records. Logistically, we knew we would need to record the first record in one week. During that week, the concept of creating two stand-alone EPs, a “Part I” and “Part II” under the name of Aguas Frescas came to fruition. Aguas Frescas (Part I) was released in the spring of 2015. When going to the studio to complete the six song Aguas Frescas (Part II), the growth we experienced over that year was palatable, and produced a stronger, more ambitious follow-up.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
I love the first Viet Cong record. They just changed their name to Preoccupations, and I’m excited to hear their new record. I’m a HUGE fan of the British band Wild Beasts. I also love the new Parquet Courts.

I think folks should check out some fellow Austinites’ band Pale Dian. They’re killer. And our fellow Austinites’ “Spray Paint” and “A Giant Dog” are both kicking ass right now, too. Check em out.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
I would love to cover a Morrissey song, but I couldn’t do it justice.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We are making a couple of videos, which is fun. We are about to release our album in August. We’ll plan to do a couple of very short tours at some point. But after that, we will probably make another record in 2017. We don’t really plan that far out.

Q: Any parting words?
(it’s an inside joke) Thanks, YOUR MAJESTY.

Aftenpragtstjerne with Fugleflugten - An Interview

Eis que a Dinamarca retornar as páginas do TBTCI desta vez apresentando o quarteto Fugleflugten.

Ontem veio ao mundo o primeiro EP dos caras com o impronunciável nome "Aftenpragtstjerne". Sonoramente os caras passeiam por um certo indie rock revitalizando ícones do pós punk, por vezes soando mais indie rock algo próximo do Editors principalmente em "Det Er På Tide" ou mais intensos e sombrios em "Syv Pelikaner".

O Fugleflugten atesta em sua estreia que é possível soar indie sem ser piegas. Uma bela estreia.

***** Interview with Fugleflugten *****

Q. When did Fugleflugten start? Tell us about the history...

It all began in January 2015 at a bar in Copenhagen where Mathias, Laurits and Rasmus decided to form a band. After half a year of rehearsing in different spaces without a bass player Frederik joined and the group was shaped in its contemporary form.

Q: Who are your influences?
Parents, friends, and lovers.

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
Pinkshinyultrablast – Happy Songs for Happy Zombies (EP)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Tame Impala – Innerspeaker
The Cure – Staring at the Sea

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Laurits feels out of place, like a lion hunting a deer.

Frederik has a profound ‘out of the body’-feeling.

Rasmus has a tendency to forget the audience as if he was still rehearsing.

Mathias doesn’t feel (usually too drunk).

Q. How do you describe Fugleflugten sounds?
Like squares and circles in intergalactic intercourse.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
Rasmus recodes demos and bring them to the rehearsal space where we forged them mutually until we’re satisfied. We’ve only recorded an EP so far that we did in a fine studio in Jutland. Rasmus did the main part in the mixing process with help from Mathias.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
The band below us J

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Justin Bieber – Sorry.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
Hunting more deers. Being more out of body. Rehearsing more. Feeling less, drinking more.

Q: Any parting words?
Shout out to all who have and will enjoy our music.

Rose Pedals with Vivienne Eastwood - An Interview

Brooklyn, NY geralmente nos apresenta grandes e poderosos sons e bandas, e mais um caso explícito é o deliciosamente ruidoso e sonhador Vivienne Eastwood.

Vestígios dos áureos 90´s estão espalhados por todas as canções dos caras. Uma verve gaze conduz sob uma pano de reverbs e delays os delírios sonhadores do Vivienne Eastwood.

O pequeno e triste detalhe é que faz tempo que não soltam material novo, e isso se faz mais do que necessário.

Cruzemos os dedos para que a promessa de um novo EP venha urgentemente.

***** Interview with Vivienne Eastwood *****

Q. When did Vivienne Eastwood start? Tell us about the history...
Vivienne Eastwood started around 2012. I moved into an apartment on Grand St in Williamsburg and discovered that I was right around the corner from my friend Jenny's apartment. Practice spaces can be hard to come by, and Jenny had a drumset at her place and her neighbors didn't seems to mind too much when we would play! So most of the songs started out as just guitar and drum jams. I dug out my old distortion pedal and chorus pedal. A little while later my friend Lindsay joined us playing synthesizer. She was playing bass lines and lead parts at the same time on a Roland Juno 1 and it sounded rad. We shot a music video in the Hamptons. Later Lindsay moved to LA. We slowed down for a bit, continued to write songs. I remember we played a show at Cake Shop just Jenny and I. Eventually we started jamming with Bailey, and we asked this dude Phil to play lead guitar with us. So that leads us up to now... we're getting the band back together and we're going to play a show near you soon!

Q: Who are your influences?
So many! Besides some obvious nods to shoegaze bands and 90s UK indie: Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth...

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
Ok, I really love these:
Lubomyr Melnyk - Kmh: Piano Music in the Continuous Mode
Martin Dupont - Hot Paradox
John Zorn - Spy vs Spy
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People
Kemialliset Ystavat - Kemialliset Ystavat

Q. How do you feel playing live?
Mostly good. I usually feel pretty excited leading up to it, then about a minute before playing there's a moment of nervousness. It depends a lot on where we're playing. One time we played in a classroom at a school in Manhattan, and that was a blast!

Q. How do you describe Vivienne Eastwood sounds?
Sometimes slow & fuzzy, other times fast & jangly. Lush & dreamy!

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
I'll often start with drum beats, and recording guitar parts over that. I guess the process from there depends on the song...

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
I can't stop listening to You'll Never Get To Heaven! And I recently saw this Brooklyn band called Heaven's Gate play and thought they sounded great. I'm basically into bands with the word Heaven in the name...

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Hmm... it might be fun to do arrangements of Roy Orbison songs.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
Releasing a music video for our song "Snooze" soon! We also recently recorded a bunch of material at this venue in Brooklyn called Alphaville! We worked with Drew Citron of the band Beverly! She was very chill to work with and we got some really great material working with her! We're hoping to release an EP of that stuff soon too! We're going to be playing Northside Festival (6/11) at a venue called Muchmore's... along with a few other shows in June!

Q: Any parting words?
Make good choices!

The Rooks Have Returned with Land Lovers - An Interview

Indie rock classudo com apelo college radio essa é a faceta de "The Rooks Have Returned" terceiro álbum dos irlandeses do Land Lovers.

Ecos de Replacements fazendo conexões com Dylan, mas inclua ainda no caldeirão sombras de Stephen Malkmus e suas bandas. 

Indie rock como deve ser, e isso o Land Lovers faz com extrema competência e qualidade.

***** Interview with Land Lovers *****

Q. When did Land Lovers start? Tell us about the history...
Land Lovers started as a home recording project in 2008. I made the album Romance Romance (https://landloversmusic.bandcamp.com/album/romance-romance) and used it to help me put a band together. The first version of the band came together within a few weeks.

I had been in a few bands before that, always as the singer-songwriter, but Land Lovers was the first time it clicked.

Q: Who are your influences?
Although there are some deep influences based on how I first learned to write songs (The Beatles, Elvis Costello, David Bowie, lots more), I am seldom conscious of influences nowadays. I suppose it becomes a factor during recording and mixing if you're working with other people because you need references to get ideas across. These are too varying to pin down to a handy list of names.

 Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
Impossible to decide so take this as today's 5 albums, they would be different tomorrow:
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: The Boatman's Call
Curtis Mayfield - Roots
The Human League - Dare
Abba - The Visitors

Q. How do you feel playing live?
I used to be incredibly nervous, for years and years. Now I feel settled and confident and I generally enjoy gigs a lot. If we happen to be particularly under-rehearsed, the nerves can come back.

Q. How do you describe Land Lovers´ sounds?
Lyrical pop with choruses, bridges, dynamic shifts: the whole lot.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
On the most recent album, we did it in a very traditional way: we rehearsed the songs until we were really good at playing them, then we went into a studio and recorded them live. Then we put some adornments over the top after a few weeks' consideration.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Look up No Monster Club, you will enjoy them.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Abba, and we have been playing SOS at some of our shows recently.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We want to get rid of every last copy of our new album, The Rooks Have Returned. To that end, we're going to play lots of shows this summer. Then we'll see what to do next.

Q: Any parting words?
Skelocrats are another band you'd love, honestly. Obregado, readers!

Heavenly with Plastic Flowers - An Interview

O inglês George Samaras é a mente o criador do angelical Plastic Flowers.

Tudo no mundo pessoal do Plastic Flowers tem conexão com sonhos e eletrônica, algo como o Boards of Canada enveredando por caminhos gazers.

"Heavenly" segundo disco do Plastic Flowers extraí em detalhes e doses fortes de uma suave e angelical calmaria sonora,

Altamente recomendado para ouvir sozinho em momentos introspectivos. Heavelny é um primor de belo

***** Interview with Plastic Flowers ***** 

Q. When did Plastic Flowers start? Tell us about the history...
1) Plastic Flowers first release came out in early 2011 but we played our debut live show in January 2012 which we consider it to be the true beginning of the band. Between 2011 and 2012 I have released a number of EP's and a few singles that caught the attention of The Guardian and suddenly one morning I saw my name in one of their monthly best new music playlists.

Q: Who are your influences?
2) Most Shoegaze bands from late 80s such as Slowdive, MBV and Cocteau Twins, while I also love some underground electronic artists of that era.

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
3) Radiohead - In Rainbows,
Slowdive - Souvlaki,
Sigur Ros - Aegis Byrjun,
Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space,
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King.

Q. How do you feel playing live?
4) Weird, mostly uncomfortable.

Q. How do you describe Plastic Flowers´ sounds?
5) Kind of ethereal and dreamy with a touch of hidden Rock'n'Roll.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
6) Well I mostly record onto my tape recorder Fostex R8 and combine the mix with other recordings from a Tascam cassette 4track. In Heavenly I synced prerecorded guitars through MAX/MSP with external synthesizers to instruct all MIDI notes - which was cool I guess.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
7) The Death of Pop, Flowers, Larry Gus, Miserable, No Clear Mind, Funeral Advantage.

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
8) Hm, I think I hate covers so am gonna pass.

Q: What are your plans for the future?
9) Release more music, tour Europe and travel as much as possible.

Q: Any parting words?
10) A Moon Shaped Pool is the album of the year.
