REAL ESTATE – Days (Part 2)
AudioVole is talking about Real Estate’s sophomore album Days and in Part 2, Sarah uses “them fightin’ words” to tell Chris that he’s not a good listener and it’s one reason he might not have taken to the album. Then again, Sarah can’t really talk because she did the same thing back in 2009 with Real … Continue reading
REAL ESTATE – Days (Part 1)
Real Estate’s sophomore album Days comes out today and AudioVole is taking the album and doing what we do best: listening, making fish tacos (if you are Chris Mollica), digesting (both the album and the tacos), and conversing. Read on to see what Chris writes to Sarah about the New Jersey quartet’s second full-length effort in … Continue reading
THE STROKES – Is This It (Part 1 of 2)
It’s ten years ago. You have that god-awful haircut and suffered frequent mild panic attacks whenever you accidentally touched the lens of your discman? That’s right, discman, because you probably won’t get your first iPod for at least another handful of months (if you’re really lucky). Here at AudioVole, we hope that one of the … Continue reading
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Pts 1-4)
Sarah Braunstein and Rchl Brwn discuss Zola Jesus’s latest release, Conatus, for AudioVole this week. The conversation digresses and regains focus. Sarah and Rchl like some of the same songs but also different ones. They both want to witness Zola’s freaky acid-trip opera when she gets around to writing it. Oh! And both Sarah and Rchl … Continue reading
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 4)
Rchl drops some harsh language on the fact that Sarah is at the Zola Jesus concert while Rchl writes her response. Sarah shrugs her shoulders and says “hey, sometimes artists travel from west to east.” ZJ will be in NYC next week.
OH LAND – “Bloodbuzz Ohio” (The National cover)
If you have 3 minutes today, please download and listen to this cover of The National’s “Bloodbuzz Ohio” by Oh Land. (MP3)
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 3)
Sarah starts out strong in Part 3 but gets distracted by talking about Darwin-inspired operas. She could’ve put a stop to this; after all, she is the editor and has no problem getting out the red pen. But if she cut out that digression she wouldn’t get to mention Coldplay, a move that should boost … Continue reading
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 2)
Rchl drives the Zola Jesus love-fest forward by finding the perfect pop song on Conatus. Readers should know that Rchl’s definition of “perfect” involves a hefty amount of gloom so don’t come around here expecting any uplifting shit. All we’ve got is a sci-fi opera involving acid baths.
ZOLA JESUS – Conatus (Part 1)
Brandon’s been doing too much of the talking so AudioVole becomes a girls’ club this week (hurray!). Sarah Braunstein and Rchl Brwn “sit down” to discuss Zola Jesus’ latest release, Conatus. Sarah and Rchl have never actually met so reading this dialectic should be kind of like witnessing a blind date unfold (that is, if … Continue reading
TWIN SISTER – In Heaven (Pts 1-4)
Brandon and Natalie discuss Twin Sister’s debut LP, In Heaven, which just came out on Domino Records. It’s a confidently playful album that may or may not be sequenced in pairs, and one that covers a broad tableaux, from Blondie’s nu-wave, to loungey R&B, to spaghetti-western. Or is it James Bond? Can that be a … Continue reading
