IR: SoCal – April 29th, L.A. Riot [The LAPD Tapes]
April 28, 2008
File this under irregular my friends.
Today’s session is basically one continuous experimental half-hour long electronica track, crafted by someone not from the region, and with material apparently taken from the Los Angeles Police Department during the April 29th ’spawned’ L.A. Riots back in 1992.
The performer is actually from the Netherlands and goes by the moniker Zero V. This track is called LA Riot [THE LAPD Tapes], a delicious thirty minute epic produced by the Notorious Twins. This soundscape captures the listener in its droning rhythms, bringing back a sense of urgency and recollection of the vivid local imagery broadcast around the world sixteen years ago to the date.
So open the windows, let the heat flood in, breathe in that smoky L.A. air, throw on your headphones, and take a recollective trip back for better or for worse…

Olaus – Perfect is a Myth
April 27, 2008
Olaus is a guitarist and songwriter who hails from the Chicagoland area and has been writing and performing since before the turn of the millenia. His current full-length album, Abort, features a wide array of songwriting styles and musical palattes encompassing guitar-driven classic rock, dusty sidewalk folk, and bright summertime pop. Featuring instantly memorable melodic hooks and deft phrasings, these are the kind of songs you find yourself humming the next day; songs of a committed craftsman with a core of pure feeling, sung in a pitch-perfect baritone/tenor as expressive as the guitarwork that supports it. These songs are raucous celebrations, heartbreaking elegies, blissful fantasias and savage double-edged accusations, incisive examinations of tattered relationships and enduring friendships, with lyrics that consistently avoid cliche in favor of fresh metaphor and dazzling poetic power, delivered in energetic and passionate live performance.
-Aaron Young
a note from O-
I fluctuate wildly between pride and hatred of this project, which is one of the uderlying themes tying all these tracks together. My indecision. Incapability. Fear of success, fear of commitment, and fear of failure all in one. Abort is my expression of abandonment issues in the abstract; abandonment I have both dealt and felt when dealt to me. Hopefully it’s catchy enough to make up for being such a convoluted pile of… pop.
Artist – Olaus
Track – Perfect is a Myth
Album – Abort

The OaKs: Masood
April 25, 2008
Theres no fear of the sophomore slump for Orlando-based band The OaKs. Instead, they sound more cohesive and vital than ever. “Masood” is the first single from their brand new album “Songs For Waiting.”
The OaKs were formed by a pair of bandmates (Ryan Costello and Matthew Antolick) from an earlier project, after Ryan returned from a two-year humanitarian stint in Afghanistan, brimming with ideas for songs. The two put together their debut album, “Our Fathers and the Things They Left Behind” with the help of some friends, then evolved into a full 6-piece ensemble for playing live shows. Deeply concerned with making a difference and continuing to help the refugees in Afghanistan, they donated 50% of all proceeds from that album to Global Hope Network, the organization Ryan had worked with there.
With their rich, melodic, unique sound and social consciousness, The OaKs have been garnering national attention and recently were part of the SXSW Music Festival in Austin. Check out our exclusive live video from their headlining showcase at Wave in Austin, TX over on YouTube!

The Raveonettes: Dead Sound
April 24, 2008
This Danish duo [based in New York] have re-emerged with an album that perfectly distills the band’s 60s noir-pop songcraft and fuzz-guitar clamor into a melodic, sensuous voyage through the layers of desire. Showcasing a broader stylistic pallete and a newly cinematic sense of drama, on “Lust Lust Lust”, the band retains the unique, compelling combination of sexy pop songs and rock ‘n’ roll urgency that have made them critics’ darlings.
