After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles , Ariel Pink (the first non-Animal Collective member on the Paw Tracks roster) makes his official Paw Tracks debut with “The Doldrums”. Originally a handmade CD-R release a couple years back, “The Doldrums” by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Grafitti was discovered by the Animal Collective during one of their west coast tours and became an immediate favorite. Recording at home with only a guitar, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created with his vocals), Ariel Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something beautiful and confusing, yet highly addictive.

Crystal Castles
Bear in Heaven
7:30 / All Ages / $22
Purchase advance tickets HERE or at any Ticket Master Location

Crystal Castles consists of producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass. They are named after the lyrics “The fate of the world is safe in Crystal Castles” and “Crystal Castles, the source of all power” both from the theme song for She-Ra’s fortress. Ethan Kath formed the band alone in December 2003, in Toronto, Canada. In April 2005, Glass recorded vocals over five original instrumentals by Kath. The band’s first single Alice Practice was actually a microphone test by Glass. She was not aware that the recording existed until London UK’s Merok Records asked to release the track on vinyl. The release sold out instantly. NME Magazine has included their debut album in their “Top 50 Albums of the Decade” list at #39

Beach blanket lo-fi pop from Bethany Cosentino, (ex-Pocahaunted.) Inspired by Bethany’s longing for Los Angeles while spending her days in NY attending Eugene Lang College, Best Coast sprung forth during her first days back in California. She says we can expect “songs about summer and the sun and the ocean and being a lazy creep,” with “drums, beach boys bass lines, and other amazing things” added by her friend Bobb Bruno.

Toronto’s Fucked Up have just finished recording their second album. It will come out on Matador worldwide on October 7. Entitled The Chemistry Of Common Life, it contains 11 tracks on the CD and 12 tracks on the double vinyl. This sprawling, multi-instrumental epic is “basically about rebirth and the Sun. And lightning,” according to guitarist 10,000 Marbles. The sound is incredibly dense, featuring 10-15 guitar tracks on many songs, along with flutes, organs, and French horn, with an elegant clarity and sense of purpose. The record picks up where 2006’s Hidden World left off, in terms of the band’s characteristic monumentality, but injects a newfound urgency and unease which the mystical lyrical concerns only amplify.

Guest performers include Katie Stelmanis and the Vivian Girls on vocals, Max McCabe-Locos on organ (formerly of the Deadly Snakes, also featured on Fucked Up’s Year Of The Pig), and many others.

All Tiny Creatures (Hometapes)
Nomen Novum
9:00pm / $5 / 21 and up

Stacked melodies, distorted organs, stretched chords, reimagined vocals: Collections of Colonies of Bees/ Volcano Choir multi-instrumentalist Thomas Wincek drops his Emotional Joystick handle for the glorious themes of All Tiny Creatures. ATC's debut release is Segni, a vinyl-only document of four engrossing instrumentals that kindle the fire of something-like-Krautrock through the lens of both rigid methodolgy and a wholehearted embrace of rhythm and its unpredictable results.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Wincek works as a graphic designer and plays keyboards/electronics in one of Hometapes' longtime musical loves, Collections of Colonies of Bees (Polyvinyl/Table of the Elements). It was Chris Rosenau of the Bees who passed along an early version of Segni to us way back when, beginning a years-long obsession/soundtrack in the office. And the car. And the backyard. Not only does All Tiny Creatures embrace levels of a musicianship and experimentation that we can get behind, it just plain rocks. This was put to the test at our SXSW 2009 events, where ATC made their national debut and duly slayed.

Sharon Van Etten
Marissa Nadler
9:00pm / $8 in advance - $10 at the door/ 21 and up
Tickets on sale HERE or at the following outlets:
Decatur CD * Fantasyland Records * www.ticketalternative.com * Criminal Records

Sharon Van Etten came to Brooklyn via Jersey via Tennessee via Jersey. Along the way, she sang in choirs, rejected her school's music program, worked at an all-ages venue, trained as a sommelier, and got a full time job at a record label. She also had some bad experiences in relationships.

OK, more than some.

Epic, Van Etten's second album, lays a romantic melancholy lining over the gravel and dirt of heartbreak, without one honest thought or feeling spared. She sings of betrayal, obsession, egotism and all the other emotions we hate in others and recognize in ourselves. Yet, Van Etten's grounded and clenched vocals convey the sense of hope – the notion that beauty can come out of the worst of circumstances. Epic is indeed that beauty.

The album was recorded at Miner Street Studios in Philadelphia with Brian McTear. Where Van Etten's first record, Because I Was In Love, explored her thoughts on love through minimalism and sparseness, Epic embellishes her music to grandiose luminosity. Guitar and singing are joined by drums, piano, lap steel, and a trio of backing vocalists: Meg Baird (Espers), Cat Martino and Jessica Larrabee (She Keeps Bees). The result is a fully realized album that astounds as it elucidates, disturbs as it soothes. The final track, “Love More,” has already been covered live in a collaborative effort between Sharon fans Bon Iver and The National.

A few things need to be made clear about SVE's music. She's not the type of “female singer/songwriter” who champions women-centric perspectives and denies personal accountability. Nor is she a strident provocateur. Rather, Van Etten is a performer who fully embraces her femininity while confidently expressing it through intelligent and mature perspectives on relationships. Those turned off by the provincialism of other performers will be pleased that you can identify with Van Etten's incisive and universal observations about love and loss.

Since her last album, Sharon Van Etten has sung on The Antlers' Hospice and performed with them at Radio City Music Hall, sung improv on the Mike Reed Trio's upcoming album, recorded backup vocals for Swedish popstar Anna Ternheim, appeared on the compilation with the recent issue of Esopus, collaborated with Megafaun (check YouTube!), will be on a soundtrack for the film The Builder along with Bon Iver and Phosphorescent, and has a seven-inch coming out this summer on After years of playing repeatedly around the New York scene, Van Etten is preparing for a series of tours that will take her through Europe and the United States. A full band will be realizing Epic live.

Tribraco
Neo
$7 / 8:30 / All Ages

TRIBRACO: Defined one of the most interesting experience of the new Italian jazz-rock wave, the Tribraco was born in Rome in 2004 as an instrumental trio and enlarged in 2007 with the present quartet, formed by Lorenzo Tarducci (guitar, loop machine), Valerio Lucenti (bass), Tommaso Moretti (drums), Dario Cesarini (guitar, loop machine, effects). The creativity of the four tight-rope walkers musicians is expressed in the balance between the structured composition and free improvisation, syncopated and pressing rhythms , joint themes, creating goliardic and visionary atmospheres which leave ample room to the viewer’s imagination, guided by effective and amusing introductions to the pieces.

NEO: The project Neo originated in 2001 when two jazz educated musicians, guitarist Manlio Maresca and drummer Antonio Zitarelli, join Fabrizio Giovampietro’s bass to create an instrumental avant-blues trio.The geographic epicenter of the project is the sunny beach of Terracina, a truthful town of southern Lazio, although the trio is harmonically and rhythmically closer to Northern Europe’s contemporary music, except for the overseas influences of Frank Zappa, Fred Frith, John Zorn or Minuteman. They begin to propose their destructured and madly ironic sound to the small clubs of Lazio, rewriting the traditional blues and effectively experimenting an unconventional blend of jazz, rock and punk who leads them in a few years to major artistic achievements and a brilliant reputation in Italy and abroad.

Lower Dens (featuring Jana Hunter)
9:00pm / $8/ 21 and up
Tickets on sale SOON at the following outlets:
Decatur CD * Fantasyland Records * www.ticketalternative.com * Criminal Records

Swarming guitar fuzz, bass waves, Jana Hunter’s voice, and insistent drum throbs are the core components of Baltimore’s Lower Dens. Hunter, sometimes known for intimate, ghost-heavy weird-fi, is now writing and playing with a group that might get filed as new wave, or drone pop, or post-punk. With due deference to her solo work, we’re very glad.

The swarming wave-throb, coupled with Hunter’s lyrics and redolent, charred voice, wrecks. The band’s upcoming record, Twin-Hand Movement, is eleven perfect songs long. From opener “Blue & Silver” (anxiety mounts at a quick clip until the final climactic release) to “Plastic & Powder” (a churning, narcotic slow-burner) to “Hospice Gates” (penultimate album cut, proud weirdo anthem, possible creative zenith), not one is a space-taker. They’re rife with the survivalist paranoia you’d expect from residents of a post-urban port hole (and this particular songwriter), crafted methodically and beautifully, and carry you enthusiastically out into the rolling breaks of industrial filth-water.

“I Get Nervous”, the lead single from THM, starts in a kind of nebulous weird place. Its a good half-minute of straight, building disorientation before the the guitars swell in and make room for the kind of solid drum beat you might never need to stop listening to: steady hi-hat, the snare and kick patiently ticktocking. Guitars wash over everything, and the overdriven bass keeps time with the cymbal. A strummed guitar now announces each measure, and by the time Jana Hunter’s voice finally drops like soft water out of the sky, you’re floating on it. “In the same rich path, you and I align,” goes one of the lines. It could as well be about this song. It’s three and a half minutes never feel like enough. The second side, “Johnssong”, seems to follows a simple, if tense, narrative down a doo-wop road, until the bottom drops and it suddenly veers into a somehow perfectly suited, looping guitar squall that escalates in thick shrieking layers before it finally crests, parting, making clear that sun-filled, awkward alley once again.

Lower Dens formed in 2009, when Hunter set about finding a full-time band. They spent the rest of the year sweating in attics and basements, and only stepped out of the shadows to do a quick tour and record. Twin-Hand Movement was recorded by Chris Freeland (ex-Oxes drummer; proprietor of Beat Babies, Baltimore), mixed by Chris Coady (at his DNA, NYC), and mastered by Sarah Register (of the Lodge, NYC and the band Talk Normal.)

They’ll tour this summer, first through the US with hometown friends Future Islands and then again and again, and everywhere.

Titus Andronicus is a rock and roll band from Glen Rock. In the beginning, there were only three people in the band. At one point, there were eleven people in the band. Today, there are five people in the band. Titus Andronicus take their name from a minor Shakespearean tragedy, not, as many people believe, from some sort of killer robot from the future. Titus Andronicus formed in the spring of 2005. Titus Andronicus recorded an EP at Marcata Recording that summer. Titus Andronicus practice at Ian's house. Titus Andronicus like to scream and carry on at excessive volume. Titus Andronicus like songs which are fast more than songs which are slow. Titus Andronicus think slow songs are okay sometimes. Titus Andronicus never sing about love, only hate. Titus Andronicus have no hope for the future. Titus Andronicus believe only in nothingness. Everyone in Titus Andronicus was born to die. Titus Andronicus crave your approval but will settle for your utter disdain.

Tickets on sale SOON at the following outlets:

Golden Triangle sounds like reverb-drenched distorto girl group pop music mixing male/female vocals with gnarly surf guitar jangle. This chaotic party band is notorious for their brain melt-down live shows , and for preferrably playing birthday parties. Every band passing through New York wants to play with them, and in less than a year's existence they've played with Black Lips, Deerhunter, Atlas Sound, Jay Reatard, Awesome Color, King Khan and the BBQ Show, and Quintron. They've already toured the country 4 times being supporting Knyfe Hyts, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, The King Khan and BBQ Show, and King Khan and the Shrines respectively. Within the first year they have released two 7 inches, two 12 inches, and 2 cassettes - all of which have sold out almost immediately.

Hailing from Sunderland, England, indie/art rock trio Field Music consist of siblings Peter and David Brewis as well as founder/director Andrew Moore. Their colorful blend of Beach Boys melodies filtered through a post-rock aesthetic has drawn comparisons to the New Pornographers and the Futureheads. Drummer Peter Brewis was a founding member. Their self-titled debut was released in 2005 on Memphis Industries Records, followed by Write Your Own History in 2006 and Tones of Town in 2007. After putting Field Music on hiatus and starting new bands (School of Language for David, the Week That Was for Peter), the Brewis brothers formed a new edition of Field Music with Kev Dosdale and Ian Black, and released a new album, Field Music (Measure), in early 2010.

Drums vs. drum machines. Samplers vs. guitars. Take these oppositional elements, add a willingness to start a band first and learn how to use the gear later, crank it up to 25,000 and under certain laboratory conditions another band like The Octopus Project might emerge. The Octopus Project has created a unique sound perhaps best described as "ambidextrous equipment failure junk-tronica," merging the experimentation of progressive post-rock, the blips and bleeps of electronica and the raw, human ROCK of rock.

Toto Miranda, Josh Lambert and Yvonne Lambert play with un-self-conscious joie de vivre. They create irresistible music - a feat all the more amazing considering none of their songs follow anything close to a rote pop, rock or dance structure. You can only call what they do happiness.

In 2001, their reputation as the band that "hooked up their half-broken electronic shit all wrong" first attracted the attention of Peek-A-Boo Records, but actually seeing the band play their half-broken electronic shit way, way too loud one Friday night sealed the deal, and by the end of the weekend Peek-A-Boo had agreed to release the band‘s brilliant debut, Identification Parade. To date they hold the honor of being the only band recruited to the label after only one show.

The new record, One Ten Hundred Thousand Million, is more subtle and emotional than the first, but just as hooky, just as energetic and sometimes a whole lot noisier. It‘s a little like the Young Marble Giants if they really were giants, with giant marble instruments - charming, young, eccentric, honest, true, gentle giants among men.

In the two years between releases, The Octopus Project has taken the barely-controlled chaos of their live performance from coast to coast playing hundreds of shows, so when it came time to record again, the band had a clear idea of what they wanted - a full-on, surround sound, 3-D, technicolor studio amalgamation injected with the wild energy they felt in those noisy, tightly-packed clubs.

Parts of this record were actually recorded in concrete stairwells. Other sounds were captured in nice rooms with padded walls and fancy recording equipment. No sounds were injured when captured, although some complained loudly. Computer slaves helped with the mixing, but they are happy slaves. Happy to be mixing the best music ever instead of playing chess or computing data like they usually have to do.

The xx are three precocious 20 year olds from south west london who provide the hushed minimal strokes of young marble giants and early cure but through the minds of a young act obsessed with the r&b turns of ciara and aaliyah, having gone so far as to cover the latter's 'hot like fire' as the b-side for their first single, 'crystalised' and having first been picked up after recording a sensational version of womak and womak's 'teardrops'. having signed to xl sub-label young turks earlier in the year the band begun to record with a host of the finest producers going, including brazilian giant diplo and up-and-coming hotshot kwes the four eventually settled with the option of recording at xl's in-house studio, with 'xx' eventually produced by the band themselves. this is an inspired, broken and uplifting record, packed with melancholic charms that recalls the suburban disillusion of the previous burial records and portishead's 'dummy'. this is a remarkable debut record from a remarkable new act.

The music industry convention of calling a second album a “sophomore record” makes it sound like rock is some kind of college, which is weird. If Born Ruffians’ 2008 debut album Red Yellow and Blue was the result of a talented and precocious gang of freshmen, their 2010 follow-up, Say It, would be the project they left school to finish ? a declaration that they’re smart and ambitious enough to make it on their own, and furthermore, that they’re in it for the long haul.

LIGHT POLLUTION: Swirling analog synths, shimmering arpeggios, and washed out tape noise are embedded into combinations of 90’s shoegaze, chillwave, and vocal psych-pop. Thanks to a unique blend of hi-fi and lo-fi tracking and their Midwestern demeanor, they are able to create hazy, psychedelic, layered sounds that set them apart from recent waves of lo-fi pop bands. Light Pollution is finishing up their full length debut, due out on Carpark this summer. Cicero wrote the album over the course of a long, stoned, agoraphobic winter spent isolated in a heatless warehouse west of Chicago.

PRINCE RAMA: Brooklyn/Boston-based three piece Prince Rama make psych music. Deep psych music. This isn't folk with a few tribal drums, or plain old rock with some flanged triangle thrown in for no reason. There's sanskrit chants. Zonked synths. And, yes, more than a few tribal drums. Their freak-outs were convincing enough for members of Animal Collective, who recently signed them to their Paw Tracks label and helped record their fourth album, Shadow Temple, due out September 14.

CLOUD NOTHINGS: It's not often that Cleveland, Ohio gets a ray of sunlight in the winter, but Cloud Nothings set out to change that in a characteristically dreary November in 2009. Cloud Nothings is the bedroom project of Cleveland teenager Dylan Baldi, who has spent the past months traversing the endless wires and non-wires that make up the internet, carving out a niche for his take on lo-fi indie pop. Pairing Robert Pollard-like sentiments with, as Stereogum puts it, the "ebullient, gently snotty" attitude that comes with teenage energy, Baldi immediately caught the attention of California indie label Bridgetown Records, who released his 8 song debut "Turning On" in 2009. The resulting press and public attention led his music to a wider audience as more and more people get addicted to his nonstop hooks and carefully crafted songs.
