Cobalt Cranes: Salvation
Los Angeles band Cobalt Cranes just released their debut LP, Head In The Clouds, via their own Anticc Records.
“Led by Kate Betuel and Tim Foley, Cobalt Cranes blend elements of garage, psychedelic and shoegaze sounds, taking a modern approach to classic California rock. Following on from their 2010 EP In Media Rez, Head In The Clouds expands on the band’s garage rock beginnings, finding influence on hard rock album narratives of the early 70s and versatile shoegaze albums of the early 90s”

Edinburgh Man #127
Right. What’s been happening this week?
1) I’ve been doing a daily podcast at junior.edinburghman.com for #30daysofbiking. Initially I thought it would be an interesting daily podcast where I cycle to glamorous locations around in Edinburgh. In fact it’s normally me speaking into my phone somewhere along my commute.
2) Edinburgh Man Junior (the real one) has been waking up early all week. Teeth related I suspect, but that doesn’t make it any better. Anyway, this is the reason why today’s podcast is another early doors one. 7pm. I wonder if anyone listened…
3) My record player is still broken. It needs a new motor. This has got me down a wee bit. On the plus side I now own a Fisher Price wind-up record player from the 1970s. This is good.

Sugar Stems: 6 Feet Under
Betsy and Jon Heibler started the Sugar Stems in the fall of 2007 in Wisconsin with bassist Steph Swinney Conard and soon added Drew Fredrichsen on guitar. The band apparently issued a single and LP before releasing Can’t Wait via Screaming Apple Records (Germany) and Dream On Records (Japan). Can’t Wait is now seeing a North American release via Dirtnap Records.
This is great energetic pop whose harmonies at times remind me of an excellent band of yesteryear, the Dance Hall Crashers. The melody and energy are infectious, a perfect jolt to stir up some positive energy and get the creative juices flowing.

Download 6 Feet UnderSnC 369 – Ding Dong

Import/Export make a welcome debut on the show this week.
A somewhat eclectic mix this week with fresh tracks from Lancashire, LA, Haifa, NYC, Seattle and Margate. We’ve got news of a really interesting little festival in upstate New York, a correction from Erk and a campaign to get a song to the top of the UK charts this week.
Liberty Girl – Heifervescent (Lancashire, UK)
Heifervescent is essentially the solo project of Andy Doran, writing, performing and producing each track. The music has often been classed as beautiful yet sullen soundscapes, laying strong simple melodies and chiming guitars onto a bed of ambient string and hypnotic electronic arrangements. This has certainly been the case of the latest offering Little Egg and 2005′s Pondlife Fiasco featuring the most downloaded Heifervescent track – Deep Sea Diver.
Liberty GIrl is taken from the forthcoming album Wake Up Sheepyhead, available from May 1st from iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby and many other outlets.
Azmari Man – Tomas Doncker (NYC, NY, USA)
A prime mover on New York’s downtown “No Wave” scene in the early 1980s, Tomas Doncker cut his teeth as a guitarist with such genre-busting groups as James Chance & The Contortions, Defunkt, J. Walter Negro & The Loose Jointz and many more. Eventually he went international, touring and recording in Japan with jazz pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, and producing studio and songwriting sessions with Boosty Collins, Yoko Ono, jazz saxophonist Sadao Watanabe and Grammy-winning producer Prince Charles Alexander, to name just a few.
His latest work as a singer/songwriter and producer embraces a broader musical vision that he likes to call “global soul,” drawing influences from numerous sources, including East and West Africa and the Caribbean. Small World is the flagship release on his own label, True Groove Records (distributed by Sony/RED), and will be followed by Power of the Trinity, a meditation on the legacy of Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie, featuring legendary bassist/producer Bill Laswell, Ethiopian singer Ejigayehu “Gigi” Shibabaw, Senegalese percussionist Aiyb Dieng, saxophonist Peter Apfelbaum, electro-dub specialist Dr.Israel, and a host of New York’s finest jazz, funk and rock musicians.
Man Near the Surface of the Earth – Détective (Los Angeles)
Named after the Jean-Luc Godard film, Los-Angeles based garage pop outfit Détective was formed in March 2012 by James Greer (ex-Guided By Voices, Roi, Complete Portion Contol, etc.), Guylaine Vivarat, an active member of the LA music scene (Useless Keys, 2 Hearts & Chemicals) and Chris Dunn from Chicago (the city).Détective has thus far released two EPs, Very Fallen World and Basket of Masks. A full length album, However Strange, was released in late August on cassette by Burger Records to coincide with a national tour opening for Guided By Voices in September. The group is currently working on an ambitious double album with Steve Kille of Dead Meadow, which they had hoped to release by March but, you know how these thing go.
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is Dead - Klaus Nomi (NYC)
In 1982 NYC-based eccentric Nomi recorded this song from The Wizard of Oz which works well as a commentary on Margaret Thatcher’s politics. We’ve been waiting a long time.
The see/hear the whole track on YouTube:
There is also a campaign to get the original version by Judy Garland (from The Wizard of Oz) to the top of the singles charts. As of this afternoon, it is at number 2.
OK, it may seem a bit childish but there has to be something to counter the pathetic sycophancy of most of the UK media and the assumption that in these times when cuts in public spending are disproportionately affecting poorer people, that spending £8m on security for a grand ceremonial funeral is OK. I bet it won’t get into ra=otation on the BBC music channels
BTW, just so you know, I don’t want a ceremonial funeral – I just want to be scattered. Don’t bother with cremation, I’m sure farmer Mark has a suitable muck-spreader.
Squirm – Marla Mase (Manhattan, NY, USA)
A track from the very recent Marla Mase album Speak (de Luxe edition) which I’m delighted to say I brought back from a meet-up with Marla and Tomás Doncker at one of the London shows in her current European tour.
The live show was stunning, perhaps even a bit too stunning for the young Islington set but hell, can these guys rock!
This song, Squirm ended the set with Tomas giving his guitar a very thorough workout and Marla “squirming” on the floor.
April 12: From Dusk to Dawn, (London, UK)
April 14: Farnhammaltings.com (Surrey, UK) — live showcase
Sparks – 3421 (Haifa, Israel)
Working and playing since 2009, 3421 is a live dubstep, bass and glitch duo based in Haifa – the northern capital of Israel. They use an acoustic drum set, 3 synthesizers and vocals to create the sound and flow of a DJ set. Their tunes are played tightly and mixed throughout the show, preserving the energy of a live performance. They use no computers or loops, but rely solely on the fusion of skills and instruments.
Their skill as performers mean they have been at the core of the local underground scene for the past 8 years, and they combine a vast mix of electronic genres – dub, dubstep, electro, hip hop, glitch, heavy bass, breaks and jungle.
Day Glow Whore – IMPORT/EXPORT (Seattle, WA, USA)
IMPORT/EXPORT will be announcing a west coast tour in the upcoming weeks in support of their new album Dayglow Whore.
In addition to multi-colored vinyl, Dayglow Whore is also available via a generative art iPhone/iPad app on iTunes. The iPad app generates over 92 million morphing images of fine art by Katrina Yakovich and photos taken by each band member that would take over 43 years to view (no, that’s not a typo). The iPhone version features over 655 years worth of viewing set to the soundtrack of Dayglow Whore. Both were designed by IMPORT/EXPORT keyboardist Vince Tafoya with programming assistance by Kory Twaites.
“The philosophy behind IMPORT/EXPORT is to release and perform multimedia experiences. We played with the idea of converging old recording concepts like using tape and new technologies like digital apps because our fans will want to experience both,” comments bassist and front man Chris Cullman.

Erk puts me straight. So it seems Wagga Wagga sounds funny but the city of Wogga Wogga is just fine? Huh, Aussies eh?
Love Knock on Wood – Elephant 12 (UK & Canada)
Elephant 12 is back in action with their raw brand of Rock n’ Roll at it’s best. Hailing from the United Kingdom and Canada, respectively, the band brings their own brand of heavy hitting Indie Rock laced with a tinge of Hip Hop to the mix; truly a brilliant experience. Making waves with the singles “Holiday,” and “Renegade,” late last year, Elephant 12 have just released Sold Out, their new stunning EP that will stop you dead in your tracks, and have you dancing around the room at the same time. The standout single, “Love Knock on Wood,” is filled with incredibly catchy harmonies, enthusiastic handclaps, and laced with punchy guitars that will draw you in immediately.
Jerome Cooke’s unique vocal styling is one that you will not soon forget. His voice provides the perfect blend of Rap with a tinge of Jazz in the background, and a dash of Indie on the side. Truly a captivating sound.
Elephant 12 is known for making their own brand of unapologetic punk rock with Electro and Indie Hip Hop undertones, which bring a whole new outlook to an often predictable music scene.
Check out their site, that track and more are available for free download.
Move Festival (Albany NY)
Albany ranks as the nation’s 9th largest breeding ground for new music and is the location for this year’s MOVE Festival for the second year running. For those that couldn’t afford the price of a ticket to Austin last month, MOVE Music Festival is the alternative. Move is an indie music festival that premiered last spring and is completely focused on spotlighting diverse and emerging talent, much akin to the early days of SXSW. It takes place on Saturday, April 27.
SXSW grew from 700 attendees in 1987 to over 300,000 in 2012 and even beyond that this year. In the same way that SXSW started out as an organic stage for showcasing and promoting indie music and film, and encouraging progressive dialogue within those industries, MOVE is attempting to do the same.
General admission wristbands cost $15 plus shipping and handling. Check out the Pledge Drive where you can pledge for early access & discounted packages to MOVE 2013!
Battles – Funke and the Two-Tone Baby (Margate, Kent, UK)
The riveting Funke and the Two-Tone Baby has a new single coming out in a few weeks, and we have a preview. There’s also a rather fine video for the same track here.
If plans come together Dan (aka. Funke) will be here at the Barn to record a live session and interview for us in a few weeks.
His next serious tour runs throughout May. Do get to at least one of these dates if you have half a chance:

JW Show 189: Producing Independent Music
Producers in the recording process become a crucial and important piece to the music recording puzzle. After a heated website comment about artists “not writing their own songs”, we’ve decided to circle the wagons and have a discussion about producing, songwriting, and ultimately what makes music independent – especially in recent years. Umong Shah and Claire Rozario join me to help sort through the facts and opinions on this hot topic.
We also play new music from Pareto, Alex Highton, Woven Bird, and celebrate the life and recent passing of music producer Andy Johns.
Johns produced and engineered many enormous records and worked with the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and our own Titty Bingo. TB’s digital manager contacted me the morning before the live show to inform me of Johns’ death, and also heard from the lead singer and songwriter from the band Dahr Jamail.
Dahr on Andy Johns: ”Andy was funny, smart, well read. He lived for the music and was our dear friend. We will miss him.”
Andy Johns (1952 – 2013)
Here’s a video of Titty Bingo recording “Chimes of Freedom” for Volume II with Andy Johns engineering and producing. You’ll hear Andy say, “Don’t push ‘em… here we go,” at the very beginning of this clip.
Here’s another video with Johns appearing: Titty Bingo recording “Here Comes The Rain” for Volume II with Andy Johns engineering and producing.

Beat the Heart: Glebe Market
Sweden’s four-piece BEAT THE HEART recorded their new EP Glebe Market in a studio built at a loft of a barn in the Swedish countryside in early 2013, and have released their new endeavor over the course of the past week. They describe their music as a mix between alternative rock, folk and the dreamy sound of the 80′s, which is a nice summation. We enjoyed the laid back feel of the song as it languidly but steadily builds throughout seven minutes of pop perfection.
The band has been talking about recording this week and emerged from the studio about two days ago with around 3 new songs for planned release in late spring to early summer.
Support them at their social sites below.
Download Glebe MarketLive Gig: Discovery 2 and The IMC Present The Winter Tradition, Farao, Common Tongues, and Allie Bradley
Discovery 2 teamed up with IMC (International Music Community) to present some of the IMC’s hottest new bands and singers on this ‘Easter Extravaganza’ gig which was just the last Thursday in March. Discovery 2 will be teaming up with the IMC three more times this year to create a similar amazing event. You’ll hear from Scotland, pop and rock quartet The Winter Tradition, Norwegian songstress Farao, Brighton’s Indie folksters Common Tongues & Irish folk pop goddess Allie Bradley.
You will hear both full live sets and interviews with each of the artists, as well as a chat with Paul Knowles of the IMC talked to Umong more about what the IMC is up to and how they are supporting charities as well as providing quality networking tools for the music industry.
