[ Naturalismo Exclusive ] Mi & L’au Announce New Album, Release Videos

Mi & L’au is music for when space seems more apt than sadness. When silence matters more. Beneath our tongues and our clothes and our words, we don’t really know how to speak, or act, or think; we’re never quite sure how to feel because feeling is tied to identity and identity is tied to [...]

April Mixtape from J. Emery Blatchley

April’s halfway over but the spring has barely begun. We’ve only scratched the surface on the wonders that this most hopeful month has to offer: birds chirping, grass growing, crickets calling. It’s all here, it all smells good. Today, we’re lucky to have another mix from J. Emery Blatchley. This time ’round, we’re taking a [...]

The Monks get reissued

It had been some time since I’d last put on a Monks album, but leave it to the ever increasingly great Light in The Attic record label to resurrect and proliferate some of the most overlooked and underappreciated albums around. They did it last with their treatment of Rodriguez’ Cold Fact and again most recently [...]

Vetiver live in Eagle Rock

Photography by Chad Eaton
The Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock is one of those undiscovered venues in Los Angeles that inspires everyone to ask, “Have you been here before?” as if seeking out the one true hipster king. Few of us had. The rest were left to feign an indirect, 3rd party knowledge of [...]

Maureeny Wishfull

Imagine if Jimmy Page never joined Led Zeppelin. Then imagine if, instead, he struck off into the English countryside with a few friends to make a folk record that sounded like a combination of early Donovan and The Incredible String Band with sitar thrown in for good measure. It’d be pretty rad. It’d probably sound [...]

Sir Richard Bishop: The Freak of Araby

This the first time EVER that Sir Richard Bishop has performed ANY of his solo material with a band. I’m really digging the groove of this record  – Sir Richard’s guitarwork slithers across beguiling hand percussion and ethnic flourishes in a way that I’ve never quite heard, even from the musicians he emulates. This is [...]

Ariel Pink’s “Grandes Exitos Greatest Hits” Tour Only CD

After catching a show of Ariel Pinks a few weeks ago it seemed pretty apparent that this would be a big year for him. His frenetic genre-blending sound makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly what his influences are at times, but when a lick or chorus does well up from the layers of tape hiss [...]
