T9TThis is a good time of year to contemplate death and the inevitability of change and decay. The leaves fall and the flowers fade; the cornstalk withers and the punkin is a-rotting on the vine. Christmas snow hasn’t come and Indian summer is gone like Frank Sinatra. This is a good time of year to identify with creepy black-and-white movies of yore with the inevitable bell tolling at graveside encircled by ravens, and the time is ripe for a musical group that encapsulates said black-and-white bell tower. Enter Seattle’s newest group, The Nine Tailors, a group composed of acoustic poets from the band Jubilee.

MP3: “Knotty Pine” Dirty Projectors and David Byrne from Dark Was the Night compilation

Fans of David Byrne woke up this morning to find an odd, yet news-laced newsletter from the former Dirty Projectors collaborator Talking Heads frontman. Byrne announced with typical quirk that his latest musical project, a collaboration with Fatboy Slim, titled Here Lies Love, will release in late February via Nonesuch Records. Read more

lincoln-2009We here at Stereopathic seriously love finding new music. Year after year drops new artists and records and tracks we love.

Here’s the best of what caught our ears this year: Read more

The first track from the new Shearwater record, The Golden Archipelago, dropped today over at Matador and it’s got me excited that this next album might live up to the expectations that Rook has left me with. Give it a listen and tell us what you think.

Fugazi is one of my favorite rock bands ever. Read more

Due to several members of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros recovering from colds, and the toll said colds have taken on Alex’s voice, they’ve had to cancel their performance in Pullman, WA. Fool’s Gold followed suit. However, Local Natives will still be playing at the BellTower on Friday, Dec. 4th.

Also - Pullman’s Buffalo Death Beam have moved their record release party/concert to the BellTower on Dec. 4th and will be opening for the Local Natives.

If you’ve purchased a ticket to the show, you’ll be getting an email about your refund options very soon.

Tickets to the show are now $8. Stay tuned to learn more about Local Natives. For now, check out what Paste Magazine has to say about theim and give the music a listen on their myspace.

MP3: Willowz - “Repetition”
MP3: Willowz - “Everyone”

thewillowz“I think as far as the songs go, they’re the best songs we’ve ever written—I think it’s our best record in all ways,” asserts frontman Richie Follin in regard to Everyone, the latest offering from his band, The Willowz. Having been an attentive fan through the last eight years, I would have to agree. That The Willowz were having their almost impromptu record release party at a NY dive called Home Sweet Home is probably just a coincidence, but all the same, I couldn’t let the irony go unnoticed. The Willowz, who have always Read more
