YOLA FATOUSH prep a stunning debut album of futurist electronic pop deconstructions on Up Out Of It

Simultaneously elusive and earnest, Yola Fatoush‘s deconstructed electronic art-pop thrives off duo’s infatuation with implementing opposing textures and dynamics: loud/quiet, tense/soothing, male/female, major/minor, austerity/chaos, positive/negative, conflicted/resolved – embracing the elements at odds. Up Out Of It is a wildly diverse offering, evoking a feeling of ascent though the tension. The secular gospel and murky dub techno structures that unfold on the opener “Eagle Works” set you up for an album…

Graham MacRae announces new LP, Dundrearies

“Take it slow,” Graham MacRae advises midway through his new album, Dundrearies. It’s a good piece of advice, and one that he follows. Taking a hand-made approach to everything from his songwriting to the album’s artwork (which he drew himself), MacRae has crafted a record of folky, thoughtful, singer-songwriter fare in the vein of Bill Callahan. Building on his 2008 self-titled debut’s introspective musings and acoustic finger-picking, Dundrearies treads similar…

The journey from adolescence to adulthood can be a harrowing one. For composer and saxophonist Joshua Kwassman, that was true in a very literal sense, as a three-day bike trip, in August 2010, with an idolized childhood friend collapsed into chaos and shattered his youthful illusions.   While that trek itself found Kwassman growing up in a hurry, his musical recounting of the experience marks the debut of a remarkably…
