Solar Motel was received as a singular work of guitarroristic finesse, turning up across many year ends lists (Uncut, New Yorker, etc) and provoking ecstatic comparisons to psychedelic visionaries and the countless champions of guitar-based music who tend to outlive the trends.

I know someone in this band. Not gonna engage in name-droppery though.

very good album but they could do with a better press release writer

they are not skilled in the art of publicitry

press releasemanship

It is bands like Embers that blow us away by the mere fact that they are willing to take a risk, which a lot of people never do during their entire lifetimes, and that through doing so we’re reminded of the reasons we love working with bands like them in the first place. Isn’t it just fucking brilliant how things change when you least expect them to? We’re now overjoyed that they’ve allowed us to release their next offering, Part Of The Echoes, via Killing Moon which will be out on Monday 8th July at a limited edition 7″ vinyl and digital download. Now check out the press releasery bit…

'Part Of The Echoes' is another wonderful piece of songwriting, with Embers managing to match those widescreen, Sigur Ros style moments to something approaching a pop song.

Don't think she's got an ILX mention, but as pedal-steel dreamballadry goes, this is truly astounding. Listen if you like widescreen melancholia (which I often don't, hence the surprising extent to which this has gotten under my skin)

^obvs tongue-in-cheek, but well played

Equal parts jagged street swagger, frayed country ballads and boozed-up blues, the third record from this NYC quartet seems torn largely from the Rolling Stones playbook, circa 1971. Album opener "The Madman Sleeps” and the rough-hewn "Dead Man” are driven by Keith’n’Ronnie-style interplay between singer (and sole songwriter) Mike Storey and fellow guitarist Steve Strohmeier, while "Slow Drag” finds the two trading ragged, grabbed-at harmonies. The album’s highlight is traditional blues number "Real Cocaine Blues,” given a live-off-the-floor treatment here to gloriously ramshackle effect. That said, The Violent Bear It Away is not simply a collection of Stones-ian riffsmithery. The oddly named "Drinking Who Hit John,” as well as the title track, bears witness to the band’s artier ambitions, while poetic closer "Gone (Like Fighting Fire)” suggests less conventional possibilities for the future.

Your search - "whsmithery" - did not match any documents.

Epic soundscapery formed the backbone of his tracks that would be a fitting soundtrack to watching 300 years worth of time-lapsed sunrises over mountains in a couple of minutes. Vox Mod ended his set in a wall of bass that made our eyeballs vibrate.

Filled with epic soundscapery and singalongability, Eyes Open is one of those albums that was bound to be on 11 when I was trapped at a stoplight singing at the top of my lungs and looking like a fool. Plus, Snow Patrol manages to namecheck Sufjan Stevens along the way.

An epic list of epic songs. I'm not sure I can handle this much epicitude.

Germaine Greer

It is not easy to imagine a male poet objecting to appearing in an
anthology of men's poems, as most anthologies have been, though the
fact is not highlighted in their titles. The Amis Anthology, to cite
the most doggedly laddish, does not separate work by gender, but
women would have been better served if it had; out of 242 poems,
eight are by women. One, by Elizabeth Jennings, is included because
Amis published it when he was at Oxford in 1949; another, by Felicia
Hemans, because his class translated it into Latin hexameters when he
was at school; one by Christina Rossetti is accompanied by a sneer,
and another by the unknown Teresa Dooley is used to caricature all
poetessery.

Taking this real life approach and applying it to his style of music, Jeff ’s music is authentic and descriptive. He uses his words not only to incite the masses but to paint a better picture for his own life, “I’m talking about life in general. I’ve gone out and done all that crazy shit but I’m working on making my life better. Right now being Superdope is all about progression in life.” For Fox, the “songer/singwriter,” as he says, being dope is about fulfilling your mission from God.

TO FOLLOW” is a collection of songs unlike anything out in the Christian Industry today. This original, authentic, thinker/songwriter brings God/Faith in a whole new way to music. By crossing musical genres and blending personal resonance with talented, intricate progressions and orchestrations, this musical mastery brings spiritual and faith based music to a whole new level.
This compilation is passionate, upbeat and charismatic with reflective with insightful lyrics. The music is Contemporary, Acoustic, Pop, and Soulful; it's a blend of flavors, genres, and styles beyond Contemporary Alternative. The class of music appeals to people of all ages. This music inspires and defines a genre all of its own.

Klara Lewis may be a newcomer to Editions Mego's much-vaunted stable of electronic craftspeople, but Ett is the work of a gifted and thoughtful sound sculptress, who combines found sounds, field recordings and electronic textures to create beguiling and resonant works that operate on all manner of levels, and in which individual sounds are dissolved of context to create a fresh subliminal narrative.

On first hearing, the first comparison that sweeps to mind is with London-based sonic construction artist Luke Younger, aka Helm, [...]

One of the album's standout creations (the word 'tracks' seems somehow unsatisfying), 'Shine' encapsulates the nebulous reality of Ett.

Local analogue buzzer Diamond Dagger deals in both ‘boogie’ and ‘electro boogie’ genres (as per the bandcamp page) as well as propagating what sounds like soundtracks to forgotten or possibly non-existent, made-up movies and computer games on Estate Crudele. On Apollo’s Creed for example,layers of vintage synthistry build sweetly over a krauty beat that feels like it could build infinitely. Only complaint: there’s not more of the likes of last year’s What’s Your Friend’s Name, the DD collaboration with Meljoann.

The backstory:

One of our jeansmiths started a batch of our Surry Raw jeans with blue stitching — and they’re sort of gorgeous, so we finished the run (total pairs, 68).

just bumping this thread because I feel a little down and it cheers me up

omg "topical gagsmith," somehow missed that one until now

Milo, the Philosoraptor. Rap Game Kwame Appiah. Elrond Hubbard, your idiot vagabond brother. He’s not a rapper, he’s a rapsmith. If you can’t discern the difference, you’re thinking too hard.

when it comes to rapsmithery, I don't think there's any debate: it's Will Smith or nothing, and #fuckthehaters

(stay tuned for my Sam Smith pun, working on it as we speak)

(give me just a little more time)

It’s back to the Imperial Theatre for more countrified twangsmithery, and the oddly-named Musée Mécanique, who are actually from Portland, Oregon and deeply traditional.
