Q&A: Austin Tufts of BRAIDS
BRAIDS – Lemonade
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
BRAIDS is a four-piece band from Montreal with one of the strongest debuts of 2011. Its full-length album Native Speaker clocks in at a little over 40 minutes, but the resulting effort is so expansive and dream-like, listening to it feels as if you’ve embarked on a day trip through the senses. There are albums which, when listened to as a whole, seem to take on a kind of biological life. The songs breathe and ripple as if an entire ecosystem is taking place →

FYF Fest
LA State Historic Park
9/3/11
8/25/11 update: FYF Fest just sent out an email detailing all the improvements to this year’s event. Changes include multiple entrances, off-site will call, double the amount of food vendors, double the amount of toilets, cheaper water, more shade/misters and water trucks/wood chips to settle the dust at the park. Also, the FYF Fest website has posted a list of comedians who will be performing as well as set times for next Saturday.
Sean Carlson and the folks at FYF have been doing this concert thing for a long time, and over the years, they’ve managed to put together some of the most exciting lineups in the city for very reasonable prices. There were also some bumps along the way, including some not-so-nice logistical errors that made past years a bit less pleasant. →

| Konkylie
When Saints Go Machine
!K7 Records
(2011)
As When Saints Go Machine’s Konkylie begins with a plaintive folk melody in the opening title track, vocalist Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild’s falsetto portends a record full of austere ballads. Subsequent songs, however, prove the opposite is true of this Danish pop group’s evocative sophomore record. “Church and Law” opens with a melody laden with spiraling synths and vocals which shed their texture as the drum machine kicks into the song’s second movement. Vonsild sings, “Hardened by church and law / The spell that binds us all” as layers of synth and drums build up to the chorus, where the group announces its particular brand of gothic futurism. →
