Live Music: June 30th Purling Hiss, Estrogen Highs, Inclined Plane

Live Music: June 30th The Young, Purling Hiss, Estrogen Highs, Inclined Plane

Due to  some unfortunate events (close family member of the drummer for The Young passed away) The Young have had to drop off a few dates. This is one of them. The show is going on as scheduled otherwise – chance of music continuing after the bands is also pretty good (pretty pretty good).

We’re happy to officially announce (though there’s a good chance you’ve seen it listed already) that we’ve booked a fine show. 

The Young‘s Dub Egg album is coming out mid-June on Matador records (the promo poster for which was butchered to make the above image). They have a release on Mexican Summer called Voyagers of Legend which you can listen to 4 tracks off of here:

Purling Hiss have a few more releases to their name (on Permanent Records and Mexican Summer among others). Altered States (the now defunct Pitchfork off-shoot for more left of center pleasings) did a nice profile of these guys a bit back. Check that out here.

Estrogen Highs are CT’s own flag bearers of garage rock and stick and poke Hatebreed tattoos (I’m not joking about that; it’s real). We did a spotlight on Estrogen Highs almost a year ago and it’s a nice brief introduction for those that still need it. Get on the ball, people!


Inclined Plane are also of local origin – though more northern. In such a small part of the world, let’s not nit-pick. They basically live in our neighborhood. They don’t play nearly as much as any of either of these bands so it’s really great that we’re getting a set from them as well!

Hope to see many of you there. We, of course, carry music by all of these bands in the shop if you feel so inclined (plane) to pick any of it up before hand!  We do have tickets for the show as well (no additional charge) and so does Intercambio.

June 30, 2012: The Young, Purling Hiss, Estrogen Highs, Inclined Plane at Intercambio (756 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT). 8PM $8 All Ages

Ferocious Fucking Teeth Ferocious Fucking Teeth LP+CD

[buy from RSR online]
(Safety Meeting Records)
I first saw these guys open for PC Worship and Liturgy at Milford’s Daniel Street (R.I.P.) On their debut LP (recorded and engineered by Steve Albini, no less,) this New London quintet does a great job of providing Connecticut with more heavy “stoner doom”/noise rock (after all, we’re located between New York and Rhode Island: why must those two genres (particularly the latter) be so scarce here?) In addition to the screamed vocals and wailing guitar, they utilize two drum sets (clearly evident in the manically energetic bursts of “Mule” and circuitous patterns of “Don’t Go”) and a baritone guitar for maximum depth. Even though I’m typically drawn to fast tempos (“One Bright Light” is a great choice of an intense and headbang-perfect song to kick the record off with,) my favorite tracks are more drawn-out. They include “River,” “Fuck On A Weeknight” and “Putting The ‘O’ Back In Country,” which use seemingly laid-back riffs to build up from a slow-simmering sunset to pent-up aggression.

Siskiyou Keep Away The Dead LP/CD

[buy from RSR online]
(Constellation Records)
On the second record from this Vancouver four-piece (formerly a duo,) it’s easy to categorize their rustic, warm-sounding acoustic ballads as “folk,” but they want listeners to think deeper than that. Although the songwriting structures may feel cozy, these aren’t a bunch of airy songs about enjoying nature. Singer-songwriter Colin Huebert truly “gets into” the emotions of his vocal role: he has “love to give… and give… and give” in the invigorating, instrumentally-swelling “Twigs And Stones,” which relies of plenty of interesting metaphors (“I am house built / out of twigs and stones / I am a house, but / I am not a home.”) Most memorably, he sounds legitimately shaken from both frustration and despondence on a fittingly dark cover of Neil Young’s “Revolution Blues” (“you never see us / ’cause we don’t come around / we got twenty five rifles / just to keep the population down.”) It’s a great demonstration of how emotional delivery can really drive the music’s point across.

Popeyes Garage Pop-Up At Intercambio

POPEYES GARAGE POP-UP AT INTERCAMBIO
 {This guest post is coming to you straight from Kryssi who helped run the Popeyes Garage space/collective/descriptive term – I’ve added some links and flowered it up with notes here and there [each noted when I did]. Check these things out. Say you were there when… -Rick}
Intercambio, New Haven’s newest spot for art, music, and other will be hosting 3 noise shows as part of a Popeyes Garage* pop-up. The first show features Hive Mind, the solo project of Greh Holger of Chondritic Sound. Look forward to synth sounds with junk/basement aesthetic. May 21st will feature Dog Lady‘s new duo project incorporating violin, electronics, and probably some other stuff. May 27th we’ll wrap up the series with Pedestrian Deposit, LA’s most prolific noise duo, along with harsh and awesome Work/Death from Providence.
[*Editor’s note (Rick): I added the Popeyes Garage link strictly for reference as the old location is no longer active and thus neither is the wordpress site linked]

Shows are at 8:30ish and cost $5.

EDM Night People CD/LP

(Western Vinyl)
Formerly known as Early Day Miners, this Bloomington, Indiana-based quartet does a great job of crafting post-rock atmospheres while maintaining a comfortable indie/alt-rock sound. It’s the perfect ambience for spending a mellow night of unwinding after a long day. The rich sounding emotional hooks in tracks like “Hold Me Down” and “Open Bar” are easy to follow and get engrossed in. One of my favorite tracks is the most experimental: the 8-and-a-half-minute “Milking The Moon” builds the most intricate, creative patterns by swirling into elements of post-punk, psychedelic and shoegaze before fading into sharp, wailing feedback. “Stereo/Video” is one of the most interesting standouts, sounding like new wave evolving into robust, modern indie with curious lyrics (“I hear voices on the stereo / I see faces on the video.”) “Temple Bar” is another high point with its male-and-female vocals and warm, passionate sound with corresponding lyrical themes (“you’re safe with me, my word is true / I wouldn’t mislead you.”)
[Reviewer: Mark]

Whitehorse Progression CD
 

(At A Loss Recordings)
For over seven years, this Melbourne five-piece has been dredging along with its uncompromising brand of ultra-sludgy doom metal. On top of the traditional guttural/screaming vocals and slow-simmered mix of drawn-out guitars and percussion, these guys aren’t afraid to crank up the caustic noise of heavy feedback and various other forms of crusty electronic decay. “Mechanical Disintegration” kicks it off by sounding like a malicious spirit rising from a massive, weathered and creaking machine. “Progression” and “Remains Unknown” transition into more scorched landscapes, backed by what sounds like unidentifiable screeches of tortured souls. “Control, Annihilate” is an interesting transition toward the end, mixing fast speed, slow speed and noise like “Progression” before it. Closing track “Time Worn Regression” has the most memorable, “catchy” melody structure, but layers of heavy static and feedback (most present and the beginning and end, with a constant atmospheric rumble throughout) help make it sound even more menacing. It’s quite a ride.
