The Battlehooch Orchestra
What can a rock band do that hasn't been done yet? How much can you twist and mutate a genre until it turns into something new? These are the questions that lie at the heart of Battlehooch's music. Their latest album "Hot Lungs" (Released Feb 2013) is a full length meditation on the answers for those questions. With songs ranging from symphonically epic to intimately beautiful, "Hot Lungs" is an album that captures the widescreen nature of Battlehooch's sound. Battlehooch will be touring in support of "Hot Lungs" in 2013.
Tartufi
We'll be celebrating Tartufi's record release! Having formed in 2001, the San Francisco trio comprised of Lynne Angel, Brian Gorman and Ben Thorne, has become well know for their loop-heavy sonic soundscapes, overlaying harmonies, melodies and poly-rhythms. The effect is something unlike most popular music today, an aural overhaul, a hypnotic surrender to their sound and a wonder to witness, live or on record. Topping many a "best of list" through the years and with six studio albums under their belts, these bastions of the San Francisco scene are showing no signs of slowing with the release of their new album These Factory Days (Southern Records). Building upon their musical mosaics and seamless song-craft the recent addition of Thorne on bass has allowed the band to fully metamorphose into a three-headed creature walking the wires between chaos and cacophony, subtly and synchronicity. As one reviewer said, "Tartufi are unafraid of venturing into a complex sonic world where post-rock, psych and experimental pop are built from endless loops and pulsing polyrhythms, then blasted off into space to see what happens. The result is a beautiful, if unpredictable, wall of sound".
Vanwave
"If you haven’t heard of Van Wave and are on the corner of Freak St. and FOMO Ave. about it – FEAR NOT YOUNG CHICKADEE – not many people have, ooooh but they will. Van Wave feels like that moment between deep sleep and wakefulness – when you are most susceptible to your condition, powerless to the reality but completely aware of the situation. They sound like this feeling, like floating in a dream state, gently entering your patterns and movements again. The harmonies of the guitar players and bass player intertwine perfectly – a flawless execution of vocal control and songwriting technique. Nothing is too much and nor is their minimal style too little. This is vocal-pop a la 1960s Spector but with space to breathe and a lot less murdery. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live twice and both times left feeling elated. This is the new chill wave – minus the wave and with extra chill. Seek them out."
