Earlier today I wrote about Grimes and her stunning live performances, but she’s not the only one who masters the fine art of electronic solo live performances: Elaine Davis from Chicago, who goes as Spaces of Disappearance on stage, combines cool electronics with a powerful, soulful voice. We saw her[…]
Letters To Nepal, a Brooklyn via Siberia three piece with musical roots in all things synth pop, are evolving their sound constantly. Anton Fadeev integrates new instruments and his latest instrument of choice is a fully electronic one aka Maschine. There’s Tanya Durkeena who provides her skills on the piano. And of[…]
Every now and then a band comes along that blows me away from the get-go. Foxtrax is one of these bands! It’s hard to believe that Ben Schneid (vocals, guitar), Jared Stenz (bass) and Jon Stenz (drums) make music together for only less than one year, with a focus on “together” because…[…]
While touring the East Coast, Nashville’s Future Thieves also made a stop in New York City to play a show for CMJ. Friday evening, shortly before Midnight, Elliot Collett (vocals, guitar), Austin McCool (guitar) and Nick Goss (bass) took the tiny stage of Rockwood Music Hall 1 while Gianni Gibson (drums) took[…]

It was the last day of CMJ 2015 and a week of long days and short night were starting to take a toll: we couldn’t make it in time to the Moniker Records showcase at Palisades, where I wanted to see Gel Set. There will be a next time and[…]
At every festival like CMJ, there seems to be one artist we run into on almost every day. This year, I’m delighted that it was Lara Snow, an electronic singer songwriter from Tel Aviv, who we met several times. CMJ is over, but she’ll play another show at Pianos next[…]
Things were heating up on Friday: Audiofemme and Atypical Sounds staged a massive day party at The Delancey. First up were Brooklyn art rock duo Of Clocks and Clouds, who released an excellent album last year and are working on a new one. On the way too the beautiful rooftop[…]
