[Mp3] Sealions: “Bellwether”

When I caught Sealions as a four piece for the first time earlier this summer, I had been listening to a lot of chillwave stuff and was struck by how easily they could be categorized in that aesthetic. And after listening to their great new record, Strange Veins, I would definitely consider them “chillwave-rock.” But unlike most of the stuff that encompasses the glo-fi tag, Sealions happened into this ’80s nostalgia fad inadvertently, as these terms hadn’t even been coined when they first started working on this album. So unlike the majority of the chillwave masses made up of kids with little talent trying to cash in on a trend, Sealions have produced music a bit more significant, interesting, and artistic. I would be very surprised if these guys don’t become the next big buzzband once the Altered Zones mafia stumbles across them.

Corndogorama 2009: Saturday (Day 1)

We got a later start yesterday than I would have liked and didn’t make it to Corndogorama until The Goldest began their set. I loved their EP, but in previous occasions thought their live show was a bit lacking. This time they sounded really good.

I got some lunch at the Australian Bakery, which has served as our Corndog home base for escaping the heat and grubbing, and then caught Sonen. Their set at last year’s corndog was lackluster, but this year it was not enjoyable at all. The vocals were very loud in the mix, and these two so called “vocalists” have no business singing. It was hard to even give the music underneath much of a chance with how bad the vocals were.

Next, Nomen Novum played one of the better live sets I’ve seen them do. They started out with some guitar loop build up songs and then moved to more electronic stuff near the end. While the duo churned out the tunes, they were joined by a dancer for this set who even contributed some neat sound effects using blades of grass.
