[Video] Deerhunter: “Memory Boy” on Letterman
I’ve been straying away from posting about Deerhunter much these days as they get plenty of press everywhere else. But their performance on Letterman last night that included Cole Alexander (Black Lips) and Adam Bruneau (Back Pockets) was particularly noteworthy. Really nice jamout at the end.

An Atlanta Mp3 Trilogy: Harken The Hands Askew, Little Tybee, Adam Bruneau
A meticulous five years in the making, Thou is the beautiful new record from Harken The Hands Askew, the solo banner for O’ Brother guitarist Aaron Womack. It is very atmospheric, droney sort of experimental stuff, but with a whole lot more traditional song structure than one would expect from that description. It strikes an almost perfect balance between its very basic lo-fi pop foundation and its more quirky and risky elements. I’m really digging this more and more, so check it out:
Harken The Hands Askew : Growing Up is Hard

As of late, I have been hearing a lot of noise about Atlanta newcomers Little Tybee. I have yet to catch them live, but I did pick up a copy of their fresh new record, Building A Bomb, and after a couple of listens I can see why they are impressing so many people. The nearly 50 minute record drags at places and this outfit would greatly benefit from sharpening things on the songwriting side of the equation, but even at its weakest moments this music is still rather enjoyable. Little Tybee will have a bright future ahead of it if they can build upon the vast potential displayed on this newest release:
Little Tybee : Building A Bomb
Local musician and all-around artistic powerhouse Adam Bruneau often drops some nice gems on his blog and his newest installment featured a lovely cover of a Pixies song guest starring one David McClung on guitar. I thought it would round out this trilogy nicely, so enjoy:

Atlanta Hottnesses: All The Saints, Untied States, Nomen Novum, Gringo Star, Spooks, Black Lips
So much great Atlanta music, so little posts…
All The Saints
All The Saints @ Drunken Unicorn (6/7/08)
All The Saints have just released a couple of tasty nuggets. First, they have a new song on their myspace called “Host” from a split 7″ between them and These Arms Are Snakes. It’s a nice, laid back psych-jam. They also just released a video for “Sheffield”, a song from last year’s spectacular Fire On Corridor X:
Untied States
Untied States @ The Earl (2/20/07)
Any minute now, Untied States will be releasing their latest record, Instant Everything, Constant Nothing. You can get a preview at their myspace with 3 tracks from it up right now. There is hardly a band in this city I would claim is better than these guys, so I am very excited about this album. Untied States is pop music as art at its best. Here is video of them performing one of the new songs live, “Not Fences, Mere Masks”:
You should own both of their previous, essential records:
Buy Retail Detail
Buy Ineffable, By Design
Nomen Novum
Not content with already dropping one of this year’s best albums so far in their debut full-length, November, Atlanta’s dynamic duo Nomen Novum have big plans for 2009. They have four more releases slated to drop:
Upcoming releases for 2009:
ATL GA in 5 words – lathe cut 7″ picturedisc
free digital EP no.2
Paradises – LP
split 7″ w/ Scenisk Värld
They just posted an unmastered cut from their upcoming second album on their myspace. The song is called “Paradises 3″, and it combines some lush synthy stuff with a bunch of samples of people talking and noise. The guitar driven era of November and Mantis Man is clearly long gone, but this new loop based Nomen Novum is pretty rad. Although, I’m going to drop one more golden oldie on you, the B-side to the Mantis Man 7″:

They are putting together a west coast tour for May, but you Atlanta folks can see them live in a couple of weeks (April 13) with Ohmpark favs Royal Bangs at some place I’ve never heard of called Capsule. Also, I cannot stress it enough, if you have not listened to November yet, you are seriously missing out:
Gringo Star
Gringo Star @ Smith’s (3/8/07)
The steadily touring machine that is Gringo Star recently recorded a WOXY session. You can find lots of other sessions including ones from Dead Confederate and Here We Go Magic here. Listen to this show below:
Track Listing:
Tonight The Moon Doesn’t Matter
Ask Me Why

Come On Now
Rebel Kind
The Spooks & The Black Lips
New videos from both of these similarly contructed bands. The video for Black Lips‘ “I’ll Be With You” pours on the charm and nostalgia for a holiday heart warmer. In contrast, the Spooks‘ vid for “California Boys”, directed by their own Adam Bruneau (Kiwis), is trippy and ghoulish. Enjoy them both:
