INTERVIEWRachael Pazdan/Hypnocraft of The Hum and LPR Presents

The world of curation, booking, and promotion. It’s a tough industry to traverse, but tastemaker Rachael Pazdan of Hypnocraft Presents, LPR Presents, and The Hum, is quite frankly kicking its ass.

TRACK REVIEWBRAEVES "Silver Streets"

Cover art by Danielle Guelbart This summer, New York's own BRAEVES released a new single called "Silver Streets" as a follow up to 2014's Drifting by Design EP. The band bid their farewell to New York last weekend at The Studio at Webster Hall, rounding out a busy year of stellar shows at other...

LIVE REVIEWMilán @ (le) poisson rouge

Friday night at the self-proclaimed "art and alcohol" gallery of (le) poisson rouge, Maria Neckam, aka the Brooklyn bred and jazz trained Milán infiltrated the far too sparsely populated space like fluorescent spheres of a bubble gun for her self-titled EP release party. Created in junction with...

LIVE REVIEWMade In Heights @ Le Poisson Rouge

If you crept down the stairs and into the venue at Le Poisson Rouge last Saturday evening, you would’ve heard the disembodied voice of a woman gliding off the walls. It was silvery and sensual and the sprightliness of her breathy singing chilled the space. It was a little after 7:30 and I...

LIVE REVIEWJuana Molina @ LPR

Juana Molina hails from Argentina, and, like the rich, full-bodied Malbecs her homeland is known for, Molina's tunes sit robustly on any musical pallette. Molina is just as intoxicating, too, an experienced live performer with five records of material to cover, she managed to hit every sensitive...

Liars Bring New Songs To NYC

After thoroughly enjoying last summer's set at Webster Hall, I was pumped to see Liars not once but twice this past weekend. The first show was in the Met's Temple of Dendur, which is about as epic as a setting gets. The band literally played amongst the ruins of the monument, built in 15 BC by...

LIVE REVIEWMatmos @ (le) poisson rouge

There isn't really a noise, audible to human ears or otherwise, safe from the all-absorbing sonic stylings of experimental electronic duo Matmos, whose ninth studio LP The Marriage of True Minds is out on Thrill Jockey later this month. On Monday M.C. Schmidt and Daniel Drew dropped into (le)...

Life After GirlsThe Rebirth of Christopher Owens

In January, Fat Possum will release Lysandre, the debut record of Christopher Owens. Owens will then play two back-to-back shows at Bowery Ballroom. In all likelihood, these shows will sell out. The reason that the music world is waiting so eagerly for this particular singer/songwriter's first solo...

CMJ 2012Sea Wolf, Jim White, Hey Marseilles @ LPR

Hey Marseilles CMJ has come and gone but the week proved to be a memorable one filled with discovering new artists and rediscovering old favorites. If you’re like me and are just under the 21+ age limit of many of that week’s shows, finding something, anything, to attend proved to be a truly...
