9.29.2011 Tonight at Mercury Lounge in Manhattan, Alessio from Banjo Or Freakout opens for Factory Floor with his other project WALLS, whose EP you can stream over at their label, Kompact. I saw Factory Floor last night at Knitting Factory and it's worth checking out; for those who like loud pulsating electronics, noise guitar, deadpan vocals and a great dance/rock drummer.

Lia Ices opened for Iron and Wine last Sunday at the Abrons Art Center, located in that funky area below Delancey Street. It's a great old theater and Lia was playing on a grand piano for the first time live.

Listening to the debut album from Lia Ices, courtesy of our local Rare Book Room Records, gave me a chilling, exciting feeling that I was not just listening to a good record but indeed the work of a rare and special talent. At the heart of Necime is Lia Ices and her amazing voice and piano. There is a warmth and

...that's all that's left of the negatives.but there was a funny/vicious one about how living bridge is unlistenable for more than 2 hours (it's less from end to end) and that it should be used by the CIA as a torture device. perhaps not so funny these days, and was removed by iTunes.

Boundary Waters, the penultimate song off Palms' It's Midnight In Honolulu is given the royal remix treatment on this limited edition of 500 vinyl pressing (comes with free mp3 download dropcard). Four people took it upon themselves to completely change the song save for some vocal and alarm excerpts. The result is very unexpected and a great EP on it's own, mixing the oblique and very pleasant

Sometimes, people who have nothing to do with the making of a record nail what it's all about. So, from Heather Phares at Allmusic.com, here is her review: Talk Normal's Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro have never hidden how much they draw from their influences. They named themselves after a Laurie Anderson song; from moment to moment, their vocals suggest the whispery menace of Kim Gordon or the

Although Sebastian was an early member of Black Dice (more than ten years ago!), Alibi Coast more resembles the timeless, poeticized folk-pop of Simon & Garfunkel, and in fact has far more in common with his paintings, brilliantly layered works that capture evocative scenes in motion. Alibi Coast, which puts Sebastian’s gentle guitar work and gorgeous vocals in the spotlight (and which also

Living Bridge is a 25 song, 2 CD collection of new and unreleased songs by bands who have previously recorded at the Rare Book Room Studio in Brooklyn, New York. It was produced by Nicolas Vernhes and marks Rare Book Room Records’ first release. These are not outakes; all the songs but one* were recorded for the exclusive purpose of this collection.

'NECIMA' is Lia Ices' debut full length album, produced by Nicolas Vernhes at the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, NY. This album was born on the piano and with the voice, drawing up feelings we get when we listen to the inspired songwriting of our old favorites; those artists who created a new sound for themselves that begged others to follow. Both Lia and Nicolas were eager to experiment with the

Palms is Ryan Schaefer and Nadja Korinth. Though a band of only two, great distances and far-flung elements are also constitutive of Palms. To begin with, the members live on different continents. Schaefer—originally from southern Illinois—has called New York City home for the past eight years. Korinth, currently residing in Berlin, was raised in what was formerly the East German town of Leipzig.
