Lately

Lately (Troisieme) - Memoryhouse Music Video from Malcolm Klock on Vimeo.

I caught memoryhouse and Twin Sister the other night here in Houston. I can't get this song out of my head. Through audio recording, live performance, and videography Evan and Denise have been able to transcend the beauty of their art tri-fold. I am not sure that they have had anything to do with the video production whatsoever but they pair very well and the music undoubtedly formed what was to be filmed. Here is another video, this one from Jamie Harley over at Schmooze-blog. The aesthetic prowess is stunning, amazing visuals and amazing music.

CVLTS

I can't decide if I am zoning out or zoning in when listneing to CVLTS. They have a digital release, LVST, out on AMDISCS available on tape or cdr with the option to download directly. There, the album is said to "fill into your brain sun-kissed hypnagogic synths through zoned out wandering for meeting yourself inside the universal soul behind the distorted cascades of sparkling reverbs seamlessly fluttering in the haze of purged eclipses permeating in subtle ways deep inside." I can't find a ton of information but as far as I can tell these are the same guys who designed all of that zany trapper keeper art. Well, maybe not but their tumblr might make you think so.

They have an upcoming release coming from Atelier Ciseaux titled "Black Hole, Hi Five." It will be a limited edition tape.

Shelia

I can't take credit for this one but it was put on in the same spot. I really love that venue. If you can imagine the astro dome shrunk down 100 times and surrounded by mirrors then you've got my alma mater's student union. The place was, for sure, weird and the people didn't "know" what was going on, but who does? The video makes me want to be there again and that is all that matters. Bradford Cox is Atlas Sound and so many other things. I am glad to have met him in mid central Indiana and hope to do so again, anywhere.

S. Carey

With my recent move to Texas I have had to come to some realizations. The most prominent of all being Texas can climb to temperatures unknown in my life before the move. This is upsetting to me because with this realization I am suspecting fall to be far different from the ones I had become accustomed to in the Mid-west. Music may be my salvation. I have been listening to S. Carey, original drummer of Bon Iver before the compromised addition of Matthew McCaughan, as he has transitioned from one percussion instrument to another, piano/keys being the latter. Starting next week at the Electric Fetus, a free show, he will be touring for his solo project All We Grow. If you are expecting all of the keywords of For Emma you will be let down. I don't believe he camped in a cabin or dealt with leaving a band or a long time lover but with some serious touring experience under his belt you can expect to see these songs performed at their best.

Here are a few tracks from the upcoming LP:

s.carey - Move

s.carey - In The Stream

I am Delighted

Sufjan with an unexpected EP release. I haven't had the pleasure of catching him live, if you want to here are his tour dates. The album is available for download here.

DannielRadall

Another product of AMDISCS, DannielRadall brings lo-fi experimental pop to a different plain. His album cover sets the feel with mom jean clad babes and Fierro dreams. I wish my parents were this cool.

This comes from the little bro of a friend of mine. He's from Minneapolis. Clearly he CAN shoot your music video.
