Kat Brock – “Fall When I Fell”

Kat Brock
“Fall When I Fell”
Fall
Directed by: Amy Hobbs

There are several important items of note to be aware of in this new Kat Brock video. One, it’s directed by Amy Hobbs – who has really proven lately that a music video doesn’t have to be complex or over produced to be effective and engaging. Secondly, Kat Brock’s voice is crushingly heartbreaking. Typically, I tend to stray from music that reminds me of the utter emotional weight of the world but from what I’ve heard of the forthcoming Fall album, it’s too compelling to ignore. I look forward to hearing it in its entirety and gazing into the abyss as it gazes back into me.

Toys, Cadaver and The Vaughn Sessions

Posted Thu February 23, 2012

Here’s a few new creations I recently stumbled across that I’ve yet to fully form an opinion on beyond a few words.

Bedroom – Toys EP
Noah Kittinger says of his Toys EP, “I wrote these songs in a time of depression and it really helped me get through it all.” Couple that with his bedroom style recordings, shoegaze-y nature and you’ve got yourself a recipe for a delightfully melancholy little audio journey.

Moped Sally – Cadaver
Honestly, I was initially drawn in by this bands prior release, Pretentious Garbage, a much weirder collection of sound collages and experimental electronic meanderings. However, Cadaver is more recent and shows leanings toward more traditional pop song structure but with the weirdness learned from the prior releases intermingled quite nicely.

What Up, English – The Vaughn Sessions
Remember when I told you about these guys EP Das Scuba? Well, imagine the energy level and enjoyability of those songs but recorded better. It’s a nice progression from the earlier release and I hope these guys continue to play around town with great regularity.
