The Big Hurt: Parse and labor

The week in unhelpful headlines
I think music-news headlines are now officially my favorite part of pop music.

Suite relief

Dirty Projectors' breakthrough has but one concept: Rule
For Longstreth, the pressure's been ratcheted up following the online leak a couple of months ago of Dirty Projectors' fifth LP, Bitte Orca (Domino) which is finally, officially out this week.

Hard act to follow

TV on the Radio + Dirty Projectors, live at House of Blues, June 4, 2009
Shortly after Dirty Projectors completed their mind-blowing set opening up for TV on the Radio at the House of Blues, vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Angel Deradoorian and Amber Coffman came back on stage.

Dirty Projectors | Bitte Orca

Domino (2009)
You're going to be hearing a lot more about this album than you might actually hear from it. Why? Because it's far simpler to succumb to a lulling, repetitive chorus of praise than it is to surrender to the pull of Dave Longstreth's often uncertain seas.

The moving pictures

Pattern Is Movement reanimate the past
If one way that bands tie themselves to the past is through sonic reference — Fleet Foxes calling forth Crosby, Stills and Nash, or Animal Collective channeling the Grateful Dead — then there's been a number of bands who tie themselves to the past through cultural reference.

Dancing with himself

Arthur Russell's posthumous renaissance
Arthur Russell's music does little to illuminate the mysteries and vagaries of his life. It simply tosses them aside, in pursuit of moods and rhythms few have successfully replicated, two decades later.

Rogue wave

The allure of the music industry may be long gone, but SXSW can still attract the underground to its edges
These days, younger, wiser bands simply don't bat their eyelashes at the majors like they used to.

Just the two of us

Nat Baldwin lugs his bass into your heart
I almost slept over at Nat Baldwin’s house once.

Symphony of buds

Nat Baldwin and friends make a familiar but beguiling album
Apart from being an ephemeral player in the local music scene — he played at Strange Maine last fall, while living in Bar Harbor — New Hampshire-based upright bassist Nat Baldwin has some very influential friends.

Coverings

Jeffrey Lewis’s Crass, and Dirty Projectors’ Black Flag
If the title teen of Juno can dismiss Sonic Youth as “just noise,” what would a representative of a generation for whom quiet is the new loud make of the even harsher sonic barrages of first-wave punk?

Life lines

Getting to the hard core of Big Bear
Scaring people away isn’t Big Bear’s primary objective.

Reelin’ ’n’ rockin’

Deer Tick runs the gamut
Deer Tick singer John McCauley’s lived-in anthems harken back to the old-school traditions of Nashville, a boozy world of dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music.

They’ve got issues

The bookworm’s gift that keeps on giving
As newspapers and magazines slim and shift their focus to online content and revenue streams, it has become sadly commonplace to overlook the unique capabilities of periodically printed matter.

Nat Baldwin

Music seen at Strange Maine, October 11, 2007
On record, Baldwin’s songs are lushly arranged and well-populated with guitar and effects.

Damaged goods

Dirty Projectors reimagine Black Flag, realize their potential
This isn’t the first concept album from Dirty Projectors and I’d be surprised if it were the last.
