We’ve been sharing tracks from the upcoming Yola Fatoush album (on Time No Place) for the past couple months. Then we finally got to see them live at the Deathbomb Showcase last weekend. (BTW, if you are in the Melrose area of LA, our pop up store is going from 1pm till 7pm today, tomorrow and Saturday! Happening at Sync Space!) Today a stream of their entire album has been posted! Hell Yeah! The album comes out on May 6. You can order it via Boomkat. But again, you can listen for free, below!
I had a nice chat with Movable Magazine about running Deathbomb Arc and doing my pr work with Kinsman & Meng. Also touched based a little with being a member of Foot Village. Sometimes I do silly interviews, but this one is sorta serious. You know, beliefs and shit :)
I was always surprised, once I went to college (in ’96) that my taste was considered strange. My exposure to music in high school was a result of reading a lot of magazines like Spin and digging through Sub Pop’s catalog. My friends were all into rap, so was I, but my taste for indie music wasn’t shared by anyone I knew. My taste kinda just spiraled into its own thing. Meanwhile I just imagined that all these bands I read about were friends and it was some type of creative underground utopia. Finally, when I went to college I met people involved with DIY and realized it wasn’t like this. Even for indie fans, people’s tastes tended to be just based on trends. Deathbomb was started, and continues, in large part to endorse open mindedness as something that is for everyone. (read the rest!)
Many thanks to Rachel for inviting me to do this!

Robedoor have shared yet another gorgeous track from their forthcoming album ‘Primal Sphere’. Much as with the new Wolf Eyes album that just came out, Robedoor are taking some 70s no-wave cues this time around, harnessing their unique deep noise sound into something more song oriented. Grunge2 indeed. Can’t wait for this album to come out, sounding so good! (via Impose)
Btw, Robedoor will also be contributing to our digital singles series this year.
Black Pus has a stunning new video out today, entirely focused on what Brian looks like when he plays music. I realize the normal way of saying that is “a live video” but I think my wording is more accurate. This is a video portrait of sorts. A music video of sorts. A short film about Black Pus, definitely. Beautifully lit, and fun to watch. That is all that matters. For now.
The video comes to us from Black Pus’ own blog, where he has a lot to say today (and very kindly shares the most recent Foot Village video as well, thank you Brian!). Definitely check that out too.
