howler monkey - yet another summer mix

too white williams

Nurtured in the arson-prone fatalism of Cleveland’s DIY scene, 23-year-old Joe Williams, noise-rock dilettante and White Williams’ mastermind, made a name for himself twice touring with Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk), Andrew Strasser, Frank Musarra (Hearts of Darknesses) and Luke Venezia (Drop the Lime). Together, through countless venues of ill-repute, they forced their cartooned audio effluvia in the ears of hapless art-students, transients and skin-heads. Inevitably, Joe was saved by pop music.

Smoke is his self-invented messiah. Recorded in various sublets over two years in Cleveland, Cincinnati, New York, and San Francisco, using a laptop, analog synths and a mutable selection of studio equipment, White Williams’ first album is unapologetic pop that flirts with the vacuous nostalgia of the American dream; e ngaging ambiguous and schizophrenic instruments with impressionistic lyrics, driven by a casually heterosexual backbeat. Polished, familiar and addictive like the sound of sex in a futuristic hospital, Smoke portends a time where energy-drinking teenagers undress each other with night-vision goggles. As an amalgam of adolescent telepathy and mature awareness: White Williams is the soundtrack to our dreams of a lustful and indifferent prom night that lasts forever.

Landlocked

My new track titled landlocked is now up, I'm hoping to get some vocals over it in the near future. The track is really fucking synth heavy, but if you know me you aren't shocked.

Self Spooning in a blanket of wanton regrets

The first song off of Interpol's new album Our Love to Admire is "Pioneer to the Falls," It's a bit subdued and as predicted, without deviation from the cannons of previous albums. But, on this caliginous day it's nonetheless fitting.

Goodbye Horses

I'm sure everyone remembers the scene from silence of the lambs where buffallo bill (played by Ted Levine) does the tranny dance. If you don't, the above clip will surely be a reminder. The song playing in the background of this infamous dance is Q. Lazzarus' - Goodbye Horses.

Drowning Craze Storage Case

Angela Jaeger

Initially a vehicle for Angela Jaeger, a New York-born vocalist who had moved to London to study voice and musical theater, Drowning Craze was only together from 1980 to 1982. Although its' post-punk approach put them on the cutting edge of early-80s' British music, they're best remembered as the breeding ground for musicians who went on to greater things. Jaeger, who left the band, following the release of its debut single, "Storage Case", to return to college, went on to sing with Monochrome Set, Billy McKenzie, Disconnection, the Bush Tetras, Pigboy and Instinct, while bassist Simon Raymunde became an important member of the Cocteau Twins. Drowning Craze released its most promising single after Jaeger's departure. Featuring the vocals of Chicago-born Frankie Nardiello, "Trance" was named “single of the week" by British music magazines, NME and Melody Maker. The group, however, never had a chance to fulfill their potential, disbanded by late 1982.
