Chaos on the Deerhunter Blog: Unintentional Leak Provides Two Unmastered Albums (Tiny Mix Tapes)

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:09:16 GMT

For months now, many of us have been enjoying Deerhunter's forthcoming album, Microcastle. Due October 28 on Kranky Records, the album was leaked nearly five months before the release date. However, it only got worse for the band and frontman Bradford Cox when unmastered versions of both his upcoming solo album and what appeared to be another album from Deerhunter were leaked accidentally by...

Eden Express (Raven Sings the Blues)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:44:00 GMT

An unexpected surprise from the ranks of Holy Mountain. Considering the band's membership includes Kip Uhlhorn of Cloudland Canyon, whose Kraut-pocked last album on Kranky is decidedly lighter than most of the Mountains alums, I suppose I shouldn't have been two caught off guard. But nonetheless Eden Express' tropicalia by way of burbling Eastern psych was not the sounds I had expected from...

The album has been available on CD from Kranky since late January on these shores, but the European version, released by 4AD in May, came bolstered with a whole bonus...

Krust: Kranky, Kantankerous and Krude? NOT! (LAist)

Sat, 31 May 2008 19:00:08 GMT

Krust is less...crusty for some | Photo by Elise Thompson/LAist Like many of us hungry Valleyites, our first review of Krust left me disappointed. In a part of town that sorely lacks delicious mealtime options, it could have been the perfect fit. As an unofficial red-velvet-cupcake-tester, I knew I'd probably have to make the trip, but ... Well, East Coaster that I am, I decided to go to Krust just...

Autistic Daughters here make an incremental improvement over their fine 2004 debut Jealousy and Diamond and, despite being a song-based entity, evoke the soothing drift of fellow Kranky stalwarts like Stars of the Lid.

I wish she sang more songs, but maybe it’s best that her lead performances are rare; they’re more special that way. “July,’” off Things We Lost in the Fire (2001), is ostensibly sung by Sparhawk, but Parker fans enjoyed hearing her insistent backing vocals....
