get to know "YIP DECEIVER"

      Yes, its true....the name alone causes you to stop and scratch your head before saying, nice!  YIP DECEIVER is the brainchild of Athens, GA multi-instrumentalist Davey Pierce.  Yip Deceiver’s music is an exciting take on experimental dance pop with strong hooks, playful take on new wave, 80s R&B and electro pop.  The other 50% of YIP is Nic Dobbratz, a classy singer/bass player/keyboardist who completes…

AMEN DUNES to play STRANGEMATTER 5/19

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkAvf5j_dfs

Amen Dunes, the solo project of Damon McMahon, began with recordings made in the fall of 2006 in upstate New York. Those tapes were initially put on the shelf as personal recordings he never intended for release, and the following summer, McMahon moved to China and all but stopped making music. He would live in Beijing for the next few years, writing…

Underwater Seacreatures [EP]

In Earmilk's recently published "Top 20 Hip-Hop albums of 2011" post, you may have read me refer to the "Chillwave" genre as a half-life. This was probably due to my recognition of the genres' tight-knit handful of affluentials seemingly move toward differently describable sounds. Regardless of how excellent the music was that dropped last year, whether it be Washed Out's blissfully spacious aural journey Within and Without, or Toro Y Moi's Unequivocally funky homage to disco and…

The Listening Room s. II, v. IX: Matt Lisk, Birdie Busch, Annie Crane

 

Every Listening Room is an exercise in gratefulness. Continually being humbled by talent of the artists and the service of the organizers, I am struck by the demands of work and sweat and heart that bear these special nights. This week in particular, they were short on baked goods. Once I heard this, my heart sank, because I realized I do so little to help in these efforts. In the least, I can bake some cookies, I thought. But I didn’t have the time, and…

Best Richmond Albums of 2011

The Richmond music scene had so many incredible albums come out this year, there was no way I could lump them in with national releases and then have to narrow them down to 10 (there are actually 11 on this list). And since my blog is primarily local, I made a completely separate list - and even that was still hard to do. Here are the best albums Richmond musicians had to offer for 2011.

There's nothing really more I can say about…

Best Albums of 2011

The one thing I take pride in as a music lover is that I have a wide variety of tastes. After looking at Paste and Pitchfork's Best of 2011 lists, I realize I hadn't listened to the majority of their choices. The music I listened to and loved over the year is 1) mainstream (Adele's "21" is a phenomenal album, in case you didn't already know), 2) so obscure…
