| TheUse, Other Houses & Mind Monogram! Today is the release of Mind Monogram "AM in the PM". Here's a few quotes about MM: "Beautiful Music, genuinely romantic and ecstatic." - Komakino Zine "After spinning this EP, you may very well get the feeling that you've just had a strange dream that you can't remember. Hard to truly describe this music accurately. It's definitely not what we normally hear (!)." - Babysue Coming in November we also have Fabulous Dates, the second full-length from Other Houses, aka Morgan Enos of Hollow Sunshine and Hheaven as well as a beautiful 7" by TheUse Feat Rachel Mason & Black Saturn. MIND MONOGRAM "AM in the PM" Los Angeles based band Mind Monogram started out in 2014 as the passion project of vocalist/guitarist Edgar A. Ruiz, who wrote/recorded and self-released the band's debut E.P. "Moments in Time". Ruiz's project has now come into fruition as a full band with the addition of members Christian Caro (guitar), Bryan Mejia (drums) and Billy Azurdia (bass) & have since then fleshed out a follow up E.P. this past April titled Maus. Mind Monogram now returns with their Debut LP "AM in the PM" for Aagoo Records. OTHER HOUSES "Fabulous Dates" Fabulous Dates is the second full-length from Other Houses, aka Morgan Enos of Hollow Sunshine and Hheaven. Affectionately referred to by its creator as "my punk album", Dates is a hurled cherry bomb of glorious songwriting. Both extremes of Other Houses' mid-fi sound are taken deeper and further, with baroque harpsichords and strings a la "Sgt. Pepper's" and "Smile" careening headlong into jagged noise. It's a beautiful mess, one which betrays the young, prolific Enos as a student of rock and roll and a songwriting force to be reckoned with. TheUse Feat Rachel Mason & Black Saturn Aagoo Records has announced they will release a 7″ single from producer/composer TheUse (real name Michael Durek). The lead track 'On My Deathbed' is a dark but upbeat composition. Renowned artist Rachel Mason lends haunting vocals set to the English translation of poetry by Xu Lizhi, a young poet who committed suicide after working at an electronics factory in China. His powerful words are part of the global wake-up call about the hazards of the electronics industry and his story has made international news, underlined by TIME Magazine's infamous 'The Poet Who Died For Your Phone'... write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
