Lemonade at the Nest, Dalston

pushmusic — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:39:28 +0000

Another great night at the Nest, Dalston with stand out live sets from Karin Park and Age of Consent. I played the warm up set which is great for two reasons 1.) you can play some down-tempo electronica and new disco and keep the club bangers until later and 2.) you have a ringside seat to see the best in new live electric music.

First up were Age of Consent, a two-man take on the modern synth band with some stand-out broody and edgy goth-pop. Norwegian songstress Karin Park headlined and it looked good from the start: the drums were set up with keyboard pedals to play bass and there’s was a vintage Korg MS-20 on stage. Karin and her brother David (Who looked a little like Thor – possibly the norse god of drumming?) played a hybrid of sounds ranging from pop to deep electronica touching on dub-step and danceble euro ballads. Karin’s voice is nothing but impressive sounding like a modern Bjork fused with pop princess Robyn. Worth keeping an eye out for both bands on the live circuit.

LCD Soundsystem ‘Shut Up and Play the Hits’

pushmusic — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 12:12:48 +0000

On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event “a marvel of pure craft” and TIME magazine lamenting “we may never dance again.”

SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

Bear Cavalry ‘Maple Trails’ EP Out

pushmusic — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:20:59 +0000

Formed in Gosport on the Southern English coast. Bear Cavalry aren’t easily pigeonholed. Between the four members they use at least seven different instruments to create a fusion of indie-rock, math, post-rock and world influences. Despite a myriad of off-kilter musical influences, the band still manage to pull off a smart pop sensibility that belies their tender years. Like Everything Everything, Tall Ships, Vampire Weekend and Foals before them, the band combine genres both effortlessly and thrillingly to create enviably complex and accessible music.
