GRMLN - Empire
GRMLN - EmpireStreet Date, June 4th, 2013, Carpark Records
Empire is GRMLN’s album for the cruis’n world: Upbeat rock ‘n’ roll with the feel of ‘90s pop-punk. The new tracks are much more rock-driven than Explore’s gentle, dreamy tunes. Wanting to capture the sound of a live band, Yoodoo Park—the born-in-Japan Southern Californian behind GRMLN—recorded the album with his brother Tae San Park on bass and friend Keith Frerichs on drums. Album standout “Hand Pistol” is a catchy mix of polished-up Superchunk and poppier Jimmy Eat World. There’s “Cheer Up” with its ‘50s-style chord progression and climactic, fiery plea of “Don’t break me down!” Empire’s quietest number is the closer “Dear Fear,” an acoustic strummer about the damage time can do. The record’s energy and brevity translated to a concise recording process. The nine songs (all but two are under three minutes) were recorded and mixed in a span of five days at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco with Patrick Brown and Sean Paulson (Toro Y Moi’s Anything In Return).
Lyrically, Empire is a look into 20-year-old Yoodoo’s head as he deals with growing up and how that complicates relationships. “I see the world going by without me/ it’s just the way that I’m moving back to you,” he sings on “Blue Lagoon.” Yoodoo notes that while writing the album he matured out of a phase of naïveté, consequently becoming disillusioned with love.
The album was mostly written the months preceding and during Yoodoo’s sophomore year at the University of California Santa Cruz. When the fall semester began, Yoodoo would either write in between classes or just ditch the day’s lessons all together in pursuit of a song.
Tracklist:1. Teenage Rhythm
2. Blue Lagoon
3. Hand Pistol
4. Coastal Love
5. Do You Know How It Feels?
6. Summer Days
7. 1993
8. Cheer Up
9. Dear Fear

LISTEN TO JON HOPKINS' NEW ALBUM, IMMUNITY
LISTEN TO JON HOPKINS' NEW ALBUM, IMMUNITY, VIA NPR MUSIC
IMMUNITY OUT JUNE 4TH ON DOMINO [image error]
"Hopkins retains a gift for tear-jerking melody that takes an expressway to the listener's emotions. . . in Hopkins' living, breathing world of sound, beauty and beats are always free to commingle in ways that move, in every sense of the word." - NPR Music [FIRST LISTEN]
"Jon Hopkins' album Immunity is a warm, vital album that features moments of driving techno interspersed with soft piano stabs and ambient interludes. It's overwhelmingly pretty, but also just sort of overwhelming. . . it's a really great album with lots of layers and tunnels and gorgeous moments to burrow into . . . " - The FADER
LISTEN TO JON HOPKINS' IMMUNITY VIA NPR MUSIC'S "FIRST LISTEN" - http://n.pr/13UVqFm
The first sound on Immunity is that of a key turning, unlocking the door into Jon Hopkins' East London studio. It's followed by the noise of the door slamming, then footsteps, and then finally the crisp, clipping rhythms and pulsating bass of "We Disappear" emerge. So begins a confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality and place; a bold statement after the quiet, intimate Diamond Mine , his Mercury-nominated 2011 collaboration with King Creosote.
From the moment you hear that key turn in the lock, Immunity announces itself as a powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most dance-focused music Hopkins has ever made. Inspired by the arc of an epic night out, it feels like the hypnotic accompaniment to a journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins' mind, using analog synthesis alongside manipulations of physical, real-world sounds to make dance music that feels as natural and unforced as possible. Listen to Immunity in its entirety now via NPR Music's "First Listen" series.
Jon Hopkins will play his first headlining show in New York on Tue. June 4th at Glasslands, and he'll return to New York in August for the PS1 Warm Up Series.

Filmmaker Examines The Legend of Zelda
Filmmaker Examines The Legend of Zelda and Its Cultural Influence In New Documentary
Players of the Legend of Zelda games have grown up to become creatives, and evidence of their lasting admiration of the series is often found in their work. Beyond the Veil Productions announces: It's Dangerous To Go Alone...The Movie, which will look at the impact the series has had on the arts, culture, and entertainment of the last 25 years.Sarasota filmmaker, Joe Granato has launched a Kickstarter campaign for "It's Dangerous To Go Alone...The Movie," a documentary that will examine the ubiquity and cultural influence of one of Nintendo's most iconic franchises, The Legend of Zelda. Through its own adventure story narrative, the film will explore the works of a generation of artists whose first impetus for creativity was found while saving Zelda's fantasy world of Hyrule.Keeping true to the spirit of the series, the filmmaker has announced that one method of distribution for the film will be in game form. On the project's Kickstarter, a video shows an early draft of a unique adventure game being played on an iPad. The evolution of this will become a full game where a player will navigate a fantastic world in search of segments of the documentary, bonus material, and behind the scenes footage. For those looking for a more linear method of viewing, traditional distribution is also planned.The film's website, http://www.TheZeldaMovie.com, is also a homage to the 8-bit era of gaming and the original NES Zelda game. The site's method of navigation is its own pixelated adventure, which features some of the film's interviewees as NPC helpers. By beating the web game, the player is rewarded with a two-minute look at coverage of the Symphony of the Goddesses (a four movement symphony based on Zelda music) concert in Miami, FL.To support the film, please visit:

The band will take over North American stages once again on a massive 35-date tour in support of their deliriously catchy new studio album, Nanobots . The tour includes a “Celebrate Brooklyn” hometown show as well as stops in Los Angeles, Des Moines, Kansas City, Boise, Seattle, DC & Vancouver.

Press Quotes “Floating Coffin is another resounding success...an album stuffed with great melodies, smooth transitions, shredding guitar solos, and stellar percussion work.” - Pitchfork“A step toward the sinister but with ample amounts of flower-power charm.” - CMJ“Free-flowing and cataclysmic.” - Impose Magazine“Floating Coffin’s warmed garage slashers will satisfy a noise-addled listener.” - Consequence of Sound"Some tunes race down psychedelic superhighways, while others come throbbing like jock jams from some alien stadium. At this point, calling it “garage rock” feels like a disservice." - Washington Post“Floating Coffin demonstrates the group at their most refreshed, inspired and accomplished.” - Exclaim
BIOWe all know the type: Prolific bands who commit every loose thought, stray idea and 90-second song fragment to tape. Bands who pay no attention to little inconveniences like "release cycles" or "self-editing," and instead decide that quantity equals quality, creating a discography more labyrinthine, imposing and – ultimately – exhausting than the cast of creatures in a sci-fi novel.Here is why none of that applies to Thee Oh Sees. Because each of the dozen-plus albums they've released since 2004 are possess a distinct personality and represents a different point along the path of John Dwyer's slow transformation from auteur of woozy bare-bones four-track psychedelia to goggle-eyed garage rock marauder backed at long last by a band that both shares and stokes his singular vision. Because drop a needle on any record and – to their great credit – it takes several songs before you're convinced it's Thee Oh Sees. The seasick hundred-bottles-of-rum shanty "What the Driven Drink," from 2007's delirious Sucks Blood exists in a different galaxy than the rollercoastering "Chem-Farmer" from last year's Carrion Crawler/The Dream; the doomy doo-wop of "Blood on the Deck" hardly seems like the product of the same band who delivered the yelping "Ruby Go Home" in 2009. And the band who made last year's engrossing Putrifiers II seems like a distant cousin to the band delivering Floating Coffin -- arguably the most varied and textured Oh Sees record to date."These songs occur in the mindset of a world that's perpetually war-ridden," Dwyer explains. "Overall, it's pretty dark, and much heavier than our other albums." You can hear that sense of foreboding in "Toe Cutter – Thumb Buster," which churns and sloshes like an ocean of ink, Dwyer's ghostly falsetto an eerie contrast with the song's sub-basement groove. "That one's a song about war," Dwyer explains, "It's like people take less notice of those horrors anymore. Dark goings-on are so ever present that they can just wash over you every day."Chalk some of the band's cunning chameleonic ability to Dwyer's 20-year resume. The driving force behind such beloved and sonically disparate bands as Coachwhips and Pink and Brown, Dwyer's increased fidelity to Thee Oh Sees and only Thee Oh Sees is evidence of a newfound sense of purpose and focus. Where once Dwyer used to funnel his divergent artistic ideas through a host of different channels, lately he's been finding ways to make all of those impulses function within the framework of Thee Oh Sees -- who have in turn grown closer and tighter and sharper with each eye-popping, jaw-dropping live show. As Dwyer puts it: "The family that plays together stays together."That sense of unity is palpable throughout Floating Coffin. "Strawberries 1 + 2" is a blinding flash of sound, the band first locking tight into a frenetic, palpitating rhythm then downshifting suddenly into a loose, hypnotic drone. "I could have made the second half of this song last for hours," Dwyer says. "This is another song that's wary of the outside world, about humans staring down technology." "Tunnel Time" opens with a short-circuiting synth sound before diving into haywire blast-furnace punk rock made more manic by Dwyer's split-second hollers and howls. The skeleton waltz of "Minotaur," which opens with Dwyer sighing, "Oil slick in my dinner," gradually gives way to a distinct sense of optimism. "That one's relatively less ominous," Dwyer explains. "It's about dream-hunting – being the person you feel you were meant to be." That sense of release is summed up in a single lyric, which shows up just after a squad of swooping strings provides an impromptu serenade: "Stay home today – go to the beach instead."It's moments like those that underscore just how unique this band is – each new layer of their persona that's revealed only hints at the thousands that still remain. Floating Coffin is the next chapter in the story of Thee Oh Sees, the one where they fix their fury against the onrushing night. It's another blistering demonstration of Thee Oh Sees greatest trick: they're the only prolific band who doesn't put out records often enough.LinksWebsite

BOYS NOIZE Announces New -GO HARD- EP
BOYS NOIZE Announces New -GO HARD- EP Out in June via Boysnoize Records
New BOYS NOIZE DJ, Live Skull and Dog Blood Dates Announced, including Bonnaroo, EDC, Camp Bisco, Lollapalooza, HARD Summer, Electric Zoo (see below for full dates)
Today, BOYS NOIZE (Alex Ridha) announces his brand new -GO HARD- EP , which includes a range from classic rave, techno, rap to disco/house and acid. In better words by Alex:
“I made one Acid/Hardcore/Rave/Break track,
one very analogue Techno track with no melody and no bass line just really intense Robot voices,
one 909 Acid/Disco-House track with summer vibes,
one Acid (T)Rap track that goes Hard !! (yes no one has brought the Acid sound into Rap/HipHop yet hehe)
plus another sick Rave beat.
The -GO HARD- EP comes right when BOYS NOIZE starts his new world tour.
BOYS NOIZE is scheduled to play at Bonnaroo, Spring Awakening, Electric Daisy Carnival (Las Vegas), Camp Bisco, Forcastle, Electric Zoo, and Alex Ridha/Boys Noize will also play at Ottawa Blues Fest, HARD Summer, Lollapalooza and Electric Zoo as Dog Blood, his group with Skrillex.
Last March, Boysnoize Records released their iconic 100th release: a double A side single w/ “XTC” (The Chemical Brothers Remix) and “Ich R U” (Justice Remix) which is available digitally HERE and as a limited 12” vinyl HERE. Both Justice and The Chemical Brothers tracks are remixes of original tracks from the Out Of The Black full length that BOYS NOIZE self-released last year to wide success. The album also featured the Snoop Dogg collaboration “Got It”, they performed the track live for the first time this year at Ultra Music Festival – you can see the live video HERE.
Boysnoize Records (BNR) was founded by BOYS NOIZE aka Alexander Ridha in 2005 in order to retain his full artistic freedom while releasing his own music under Boys Noize as well as under different monikers. BNR became a home for multidirectional quality electronic music. The Berlin-based anarchist collective are celebrating their 100th deafeningly successful release incl. albums from high-ranked artists Spank Rock, Siriusmo, Housemeister, Strip Steve, EPs from Djedjotronic, Boody & Le1f, Peaches and UZ. - and of course BOYS NOIZE's debut "Oi Oi Oi" (2007), "POWER" (2009) and “Out of The Black” (2012).
