Woodsmen Film Live Performance For Terroreyes TV

Out of Denver, Colorado come Woodsmen, an experimental ambient post-psychedelic (their genre, not mine) quartet. Featuring “totemic percussionists and two sonic animators who employ electric guitars, feedback loops, and recorded samples to build the dreamy astral soundscapes that define Woodsman’s sound.” While traveling up and down the West Coast, Woodsman stopped by Terroreyes TV in Sacramento to perform “Insects” from their upcoming album Rare Forms, out 1/25 via Lefse Records and Fire Talk Records.

Earlier this year Lefse Records released their Mystery Tape EP, and will follow it up in January with their Rare Forms full length from which “Insects” is drawn. Heavily influenced by hazy mountain passes, the cinema of Stan Brakhage, and early 1970’s improvisational recordings by Miles Davis. Woodsman has crafted aural offerings that are uniquely their own.

The Hush Now Release Free Holiday Single

The Hush Now look like they might be starting a tradition. After last year’s sing-along tune “Wishing You A Happy Christmas,” they are returning this year with “On Holiday,” an ode to tropical end of year celebrations. With a Brazilian groove and cheery horns, the Bostonians’ new release will make you want to ditch Christmas trees, white snow and hand-knit deer sweaters for a cool cocktail on a beach with white sand and a guitarist playing a bossa nova arrangement of “Jingle Bells.” The single was recorded with Benny Grotto and Jeff Lipton, the same team behind the band’s latest EP, Shiver Me Starships, which you can get for free on their website HERE!

Listen and share The Hush Now’s love of Christmas below:

Get Some of Lykke Li In New Video

I don’t know about you guys but, when I first heard the debut single from Lykke Li’s new album, I began to eagerly anticipate the release of its accompanying video. After all, the song was entitled “Get Some.”

Yesterday, that video arrived via PitchFork. But, its not at all what I was expecting. Absent is the innate sexuality of the song. In its place is an almost cult-like call to arms. Check out the slightly disappointing video down below, along with Li’s upcoming tour dates.
