PARTY HOUSE is an 800 sq. ft. air conditioned circus tent. It’s an unprecedented addition to this year’s Warped Tour, and a…
Kissing Cousins start off their second EP with a very Spartan arrangement for their “Deadline”. The confident guitars of the track are reminiscent of a Johynny Cash track seen through the eyes of early nineties “ironic” country like Christopher Isaak. The second track is marked with a very industrial backdrop on their “Live Without You”. The vocals do not seem to mesh well with the very cold and mechanical sound…
Ruiner has cemented a date for their final show in Baltimore, MD this Fall. Vocalist Rob Sullivan said, “the details for our final shows in October, the 5th and 9th, are still being ironed out but we want to make them very memorable for us and everyone planning to come out. Expect some of our friends from over the years to make some special appearances.” It has been confirmed that…

Very few artists stick to their guns for twenty years. Keith Petty, mastermind behind Kirlian Aura, has done just that. Starting the act in 1988, a demo were released in 1991 and 2007 sees the release of this, arguably Kirlian Aura’s “magnum opus”. Twenty-three tracks adorn this album, which immediately rings warning bells in my head. As anyone that has experience movie soundtracks knows, it is tremendously hard to craft…
We have not had many chances to review cognac so far in NeuFutur, so it is quite fortunate that we were sent over a few samples from the Pierre Ferrand line. Our first coverage of this company’s spirits comes with their Ambre iteration, a similarly-colored cognac that has been casked for 10 years. The incredibly mild nose of the Ambre Cognac is a great introduction into something that will gradually…

INTERMENT, the prime purveyors of putrid Swedish death metal featuring members of Demonical and the now-defunct Centinex, return with their much-anticipated and long-overdue debut full-length, Into The Crypts Of Blasphemy. Check out new track “Night Of The Undead” at the band’s official MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/intermenthorde Said the band of the song in a collective statement: “‘Night Of The Undead’ summarizes the album supremely and brings forth the dark and filthy…
“Here’s The Plan” sounds as if Billy Joel dropped eir piano and decided to pick up a guitar. That is to say that Michael Weston King plays a classic brand of pop music that will have individuals singing along no matter their age or musical tastes. The opening track to “A New Kind of Loneliness” may be over five minutes but King is enough of a storyteller to keep individuals…
DJ A-Trak and OBEY launch the official Dirty South Dance 2 Deluxe Pack, exclusive to www.obeygiant.com / www.obeyclothing.com and a handful of select shops worldwide. In addition to the mixtape’s CD release, the Dirty South Dance 2 Deluxe Pack includes a limited-edition T-Shirt and screen-printed poster featuring new visual packaging by OBEY’s Shepard Fairey. After the success of the first DSD installment in 2007 through OBEY Records, both A-Trak and…
King Elementary start off “Kudzu” with “For the Birds”, a track that shows a tremendous amount of the band’s influence coming from the psychedelic sixties (the guitar solo present on the track sound a hell of a lot like “Break On Through”). Other tracks, like “Thief of Hearts” maintains this earlier influence but really allows Morgan’s vocals to look at bands like the Von Bondies and The Strokes for form…
Classically-trained composer Son Lux (Ryan Lott) has kept busy in the wake of praise for his last album “At War With Walls & Mazes”. He just released his Weapons EP on anticon. and is working on his sophomore follow-up. Lott also recently spent a good deal of time working on the upcoming These New Puritans album arranging brass and woodwinds. In the spirit of collaboration, Son Lux has been commissioned…
Jeremy Denk’s summer reaches its acme in mid-August, when he appears at three of the season’s most prestigious U.S. festivals – Bard (Aug 13-15), Mostly Mozart (Aug 17-19), and Tanglewood (Aug 21) – to give six prominent performances in little over a week. In repertoire ranging from solo and chamber to orchestral, and from composers of the First Viennese School to those of the Second, the versatile pianist collaborates with…
It is very rare to get a chance to hear a musician that has been working on eir skills for 65 years; the resulting music on “Saw Mill Man” has a patience inherent in it that really shows this maturity. I would say that ey sounds like Johnny Cash, even though King is six years eir senior. There is little excess to this disc; every track essentially consists of King’s…
Featuring music from PEASANT, MIGHTY TIGER & MONSTER + live art by GREGORY SIFF “Paper Garden Records authentically releases music worthy of success based on its artistic merits, a quality rarely found in today’s music industry.” – Nate Welker, Saddle-Creek Records “Every once in a while, a label comes along that’s so good it’s untouchable in its musical discretion. Paper Garden Records is that label. With artists like Peasant, SAADI,…
It is very rare to see that a band has been together for such a long time. Barring the years that they were trying to get back together, Kill Van Kull has been a band since 1983. It is thus not surprising to hear such talent and ability come from each member of the band. The one thing that individuals might have worried about, the freshness of the style of…
If you live in the western hemisphere, chances are you won’t understand a single word Regina sings, and that’s okay. The Helsinki-based three-piece band sing in their native language of Finnish, lending a surreal, otherworldy quality to their distinguished blend of electronic beats, folk and world music, wild percussion, and slightly-hazy melodies. “Puutarhatrilogia” [“Garden Trilogy”], the band’s first album to be released in the states, is a delightfully trippy and…
After two years of relentless touring Los Angeles based neo-classical death metal unit EXMORTUS is back on the war path and getting ready to head into the studio to record a follow up to their heralded debut album In Hatred’s Flame released on Heavy Artillery Records in late 2008. Since the departure of former vocalist and guitarist Balmore earlier this year, EXMORTUS have recruited new guitarist Sean Redline while lead…
Kill The Hippies are the first band to ever do a reverse chronology for their complete retrospective. Most the time, individuals have to suffer through the caterwaulings of a very green band that really had no clue before getting to the gold. On both of these discs, the newest tracks open up the disc before going back into the annals of the band’s history (Kill The Hippies started in 1993).…
