Nobody Does It Better Than Nobunny.

Raven Sings The Blues weighs in on the upcoming Nobunny album First Blood due out in late September.

Posted 09/01/10: "Can it be? Is it really true? Has Nobunny tempered? Has the rabbit matured? Well the answer is yes and no. If you're off to see the bunny live then, no. He's as raucous as ever. Rude, semi naked and full of as much fun as you're likely to have in a live show... ever! On record, though, he may have taken a few liberties with production, influence and recording quality. There are Velvets touches to songs like "Blow Dumb". There are acoustic guitars on songs like "I was on the Bozo Show". Then again there are songs like "(Do the) Fuck Yourself" so, yeah it’s not like its a monumental display of adulthood. In fact it’s a perfect balance of infectious garage melodies and road honed songcraft. It’s Nobunny, a force, a dynamic inferno of garage pop that cannot and will not be stopped. Some will probably cry foul. These people are shortsighted. They're looking for a redux of Nobunny Loves You, but that album's been written and those shows have been sweated into the very fiber of venues all across the country. Now its time to sweat a new, and apparently First Blood into the curtains and couches of America's scuzziest live music underbellies; and these are the songs that will be bled. Learn the words now, Mousekateers."

    Endeavour

    Planet Mu

    Following the Phreqaflex EP, where Falty DL mined two-step garage for inspiration, Endeavour features three beautifully crafted slow-motion house tracks. "Endeavour" itself introduces a lush atmosphere with molasses-thick chords, off-beat bleeps and drums before breaking into subtle keyboard stabs.

  • Solar Bears

    She Was Coloured In

    Planet Mu

    Hailing from Ireland--Wicklow and Dublin to be precise--Solar Bears are John Kowalski and Rian Trench, the sole producers and musicians on the group's debut full-length, She Was Coloured In. They met at Pulse Sound Engineering School, started recording and were swiftly picked up by Planet Mu. This album follows in the wake of expectation stirred up by their recent Inner Sunshine EP and a series of remixes.

  • Optimum

    Max Power

    Planet Mu

    Optimum is Malcolm Chen, a new producer from South West London. He's collaborated with Ikonika recently, and Planet Mu is very happy to release his first solo 12-inch. Lead track "Max Power" lives up to its name, mixing tight electro-soca drums with a barrage of ravey riffs and strange transporting noises, creating an almost unbearable, driving intensity without ever reaching for wobbly bass or other cliches.

    S/t

    Too Small To Fail

    INCLUDES FREE DOWNLOAD COUPON!!!

     

    Forgetters is a three-piece Brooklyn band that formed in the summer of 2009. The members, Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil), Caroline Paquita (Bitchin'), and Kevin Mahon (Against Me!), are not novices but still believe in the possibility of new music and new forms.

  • Rose, Frankie And The Outs

    S/t

    Slumberland

    Frankie Rose has a reputation for minimal, Maureen Tucker-like beats and iconic presence in such buzz-stirring bands as Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls--groups that spearheaded a thriving scene that mixes the sounds of lo-fi garage and big, reverb-drenched, Phil Spector-produced '60s girl groups with the noise aesthetic of The Jesus and Mary Chain, a touch of Velvet Underground and a strong DIY ethic.

  • U.s. Christmas

    Run Thick In The Night

    Neurot Recordings

    Hailing from the Appalachian mountains region of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, US Christmas's unique brand of psychedelic, high-volume blues rock evades easy classification. The band was founded in Marion, NC, in the summer of 2002, and played biker bars, art spaces and house shows all over the Southeast dirt circuit for years, self-releasing albums in CDR form.

  • La Otracina

    Reality Has Got To Die

    Holy Mountain

    Since 2003, La Otracina has been hell-bent on creating highly visionary music that melds sonic ideas from the outer reaches of heavy and weird. The Brooklyn group has released three full-length albums and twelve mini-albums, along with a slew of splits and compilation trackss on labels including Holy Mountain and band founder Adam Kriney's own Colour Sounds Recordings.

  • Sole / Ravi Zupa

    Pyre

    Black Canyon

    The Pyre is a collaboration between Tim Holland and Ravi Zupa--a 72-page illustrated epic poem with an accompanying full-length "audiobook" album. The pair evokes the confusion, violence and hope of 12,000 years spent digging in the mud. Holland's far-reaching story of civilization is told in the language of ancient myth and draws on Keats, Villon, Debord, Byron and The Epic of Gilgamesh.

  • Munly And The Lupercalians

    Petr And The Wulf

    Alternative Tentacles

    The first installment in a multi-album set describing The Kinnery of Lupercalia, Petr & The Wulf is the correct telling of a story about which most have been woefully misinformed. This truth is courtesy of Munly (known as both a solo artist and as the co-frontman of Slim Cessna's Auto Club) and his extremely talented backing band, The Lupercalians (which includes Daniel Grandbois of Slim Cessna's Auto Club and Tarantella).

  • Dawnbringer

    Nucleus

    Profound Lore

    Chicago's Dawnbringer could very well be the most under-appreciated underground metal band in the US. Formed more than 15 years ago by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Black (also of Nachtmystium and a number of other projects), the group put out an EP and two killer and highly praised full-lengths in the late '90s and early '00s.

    Young God

    LP VERSION INCLUDES FREE DOWNLOAD COUPON!!!

     

    After years of pursuing Angels of Light and recording and producing a diverse roster of artists for his Young God label, Michael Gira has reconvened his legendary group Swans. As he says: "This is not a reunion. It's not some dumb-ass nostalgia act.

  • Nadja / Ovo

    Life And Death Of A Wasp

    Vendetta

    Italy's OvO and Canada's Nadja got together during the last few dogs days of summer 2009 in their adoptive city of Berlin at Einstuerzende Neubauten's andereBaustelle Studio. With engineer Boris Wilsdorf at the board, each duo began two songs and had the other duo finish them--Bruno Dorella and Stefania Pedretti adding heavy, pounding rhythms and harsh, eerie vocals to Aidan Baker's and Leah Buckareff's ambient textures and bass-heavy drones.
