Donner Party Dinner Party- Live at the Frog Bog (Athens)

Donner Party Dinner Party is yet another emerging band from the exploding  Athens, Ohio music scene. The band consists of Ty Owen and Brian Jackson. This is a recording from a party house in Athens, Ohio called the Frog Bog.

DPDP has been descried as:

"assaulting Athens audiences in recent months with their blend of synths, drum machines, movie samples and screaming. This is a pristine release that captures their live sound, recorded at The Frog Bog, an Athens party house. Think Aphex Twin + Bong Ra + Cock ESP + Gang Gang Dance."

-Aaron Vilk

Track two is my personal favorite from the performance. Reminds of me of Xiu Xiu circa Knife Play.

Nyodene D- Snow Falling, Sparrows Overhead (2008)

Another album from our prolific Ohioan noise-monger Nyodene D titled "Snow Falling, Sparrows Overhead" that is the first of many new releases from Athens, Ohio. Snow Falling is to be eventually released on C-20. My personal favorite track from Nyodene D's entire discography is from this release and is titled "Footprints in the Snow". Dont miss it.
Contact CrippledLightWavs@gmail.com, or visit Grundale Records for more information.

"Harsh noise / power electronics a la Prurient and Sutcliffe Jugend inspired by the sinister pitfalls and hostility of Winter. Will be released as a C-20 eventually."

-Nyodene D

Welcome to December. Try to stay warm and in an almost entirely liquid state.

Nyodene D- True Appalachian Black Noise (2008)

Another one from our friend Nyodene D in Athens, Ohio. This marks Mr. Vilk's sixth album under the Nyodene D name. TABN deals with a much darker and more focused theme. As the man puts it himself,
 

"This is an album of harsh noise and power electronics that draws on ritual dark ambient and black metal for influences. The music was made using synthesizers, effects pedals, contact microphones and whatever pieces of scrap metal I could obtain. It's an album about the grim reality of living in an area so economically destitute and the rich tradition of occultism and brutality that has come to be associated with life in Appalachia and the Midwestern Rust Belt. Themes deal with insanity, religion, the supernatural and serial murder."

Sacred Harp: Green Alum Springs (2007)

Genre: Folk/Noise

From the warm Southern ethereal hills of Fredericksburg, Virginia comes a beautiful concoction of acoustic strings and white noise. If you are in the mood to drive along the east coast with a cigarette hanging from your mouth while brooding over the nostalgia that haunts you from day to day, then behold Sacred Harp. This addition from these two gentlemen fuses banjos, the commander and chief, acoustic guitars, tapes, a television attached to your brain flipping channels without your command, and well... You get the point.

Fiery Furnaces Live Review

Like every other live performance by brother and sister band Fiery Furnaces, there comes with it a genuineness that puts an infinite smile on your face. And amidst the "music" school snobs and hipsters they proved to the shall we say "intimate" crowd of fifty or so kids that lessons in rhythm are unnecessary to permutate through time changes and complexities of the sort. Playing a fairly balanced selection of songs from their six albums, most of the tunes came from last years Widow City (Thrill Jockey). The hightlight of the night for myself was arrhythmic rendition of In My Little Thatched Hut. Having said this  I would have liked to see them play a little more from Bitter Tea but the cute little couples seemed to want more of the warm and fuzzies than vietnamese telephone ministries speaking in tongue in their ear.
