Pure Bathing Culture - Ivory Coast


"Daniel Hindman and Sarah Versprille began writing songs together in 2009 while living in Brooklyn, NY. In 2011, between tours with Sub Pop's Vetiver (who Versprille and Hindman play keyboards and guitar in respectively,) the duo packed up their lives, moved to Portland, OR and realized that it was time to put a name to the new project -- Pure Bathing Culture was born." --Father/Daughter Records.

'Ivory Coast' is taken from Pure Bathing Culture's forthcoming their self-titled EP on May 22nd via Father/Daughter Records. It was recorded by Richard Swift at his National Freedom studio in Cottage Grove, OR. Pre-order the vinyl, HERE. Listen more tracks on their bandcamp.

YACHT covers Brigitte Fontaine

In the meantime, we wanted to pay homage, and so we recorded a cover of one of her greatest songs, Le Goudron. Le Goudron is a surrealist revolutionary song originally recorded in 1969 with The Art Ensemble of Chicago, from the crazy-good album Comme A La Radio; we’ve reinvented its naive-apocalyptic candor for a neon-soaked dance floor. And yes, this is a YACHT recording in French! Claire’s first language is French, but we’ve never made a song in her native language before. With a European tour coming up, we figured now’s the time. --YACHT


YACHT has released a new free song, a cover of Brigitte Fontaine's 'Le Goudron' in support of their upcoming SHANGRI-LA TOUR 2012: PT.2 EUROPE. Also the remixes of 'Le Goudron' by Bobby Birdman & High Places, and another secret cover, their own remix and edit, are coming on iTunesMusic soon.

Sonny & the Sunsets "Longtime Companion"

Polyvinyl Records has just announced that their new signee San Fancisco's Sonny and the Sunsets is set to release the new album "Longtime Companion," due out on June 26th. The album is available for pre-order now on 180-gram yellow vinyl / CD and each pre-order comes with an instant MP3 download for the entire album.




"The new Sonny & the Sunsets record is a country record. It’s a break up record. Love and Heartache. Every song was written during and is about his break up with his girlfriend of ten years. The songs came fast and naturally so Smith let the next record be something different, he embellished his Sunsets with members of his country band The Fuckaroos (from 100 Records Project). Recorded to tape in a musty beer stained basement, what transpired was a classic country record."   (Polyvinyl Records)

Listen another new song (rough mix) from the forthcoming second solo album "Oh No, I Love You" by Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), it was recorded with R. Stevie Moore.

"One of the tracks we had recorded was not running as smoothly as the others - a song called The Doors of Then. We'd tried it with a full band, stripped back and every which way. Apart from recording the album, the only other thing I'd wanted to do was meet up with R. Stevie Moore. I'd first heard his songs around five years ago and had spent most of the intervening time trying to listen to as many of the 400 albums that he'd made as possible. Me met over a takeout pizza and we got on like a trailer park on fire. I told him about The Doors of Then and the next day we recorded it with R. Stevie playing everything except the drums. It sounded exactly as I'd wanted it to."

Listen :: Mother & Son, Molly & Nick Drake
(Spinning on Air, hosted by David Garland)




"While Molly Drake raised her two kids Nick and actress Gabrielle Drake during the 1950s, this sociable, beautiful, happily married woman wrote introspective poetry and delicate, melancholy songs, which she sang, accompanying herself on piano. Though she apparently had no ambition to publish or promote her songs, her husband recorded them on a home tape recorder for the family's enjoyment. Sensitive and articulate, Molly Drake's songs are, as Nick Drake's original producer Joe Boyd recently observed, the "missing link" in understanding Nick's music." 

Molly Drake's album which was released as a privately-pressed CD including a collection of poems by Molly Drake via Alimentation will be coming out via US label Squirrel Thing Recordings this summer.

12人編成となりジャイアント・サンド改めジャイアント・ジャイアント・サンド。

Giant Giant Sand is the new expanded version of Howe Gelb's Giant Sand for their forthcoming album "Tucson," this 12-piece collective comprises of Thøger T.

"Just when you thought Giant Sand couldn't get any bigger, Howe Gelb has done just that by regrouping, expanding and magnifying his vision with the newest version of Giant Sand, calling it (appropriately enough) GIANT GIANT SAND. As a sort of homage, he's named the album "Tucson" after the town he's called home for forty years. This self-described country rock opera by one of music's leading risk-takers, is set to be released on June 11th, 2012 on Fire Records." (Fire Records)

Olden Yolk - Violet Vagaries

This is the debut video of Olden Yolk, the solo project of Boston’s folk psychedelic trio Quilt singer/guitarist Shane Butler (formerly of The Good Party). 

"I have been writing and recording music on my own for as long as I have been playing tunes. I have always made releases under different names and played shows under various monikers: Olden Yolk is the most recent incarnation. Recording/playing solo is definitely a fun outlet cause it allows a totally different process of creation to take place. What I have been doing with Olden Yolk lately is starting songs with folk/acoustic/drone structures and looping and layering until it becomes super atmospheric drone-based folk." (via Dog Gone Blog)

It close with a cover of Maria Muldaur's 'Mad Mad Me,' the song was originally appeared on the first solo album "Maria Muldaur" (Reprise,1973).

"Using Russell’s famed Shelter Records soundboard for this one-off session--with its memories of Petty and Cale, and now owned by one Jonathan Wilson--Bonny introduces a pallet of musical soundscapes including the keys of "Farmer" Dave Scher, the porch-stomp grooves of Entrance Band rhythm section Paz and Derek and the claps of a thousand hands before letting the song "fly away" in a breeze of soulful psychedelia that stretches nearly twice the original’s length."
