FOLKLORE/ CHURCH/ O.F.ORCHESTRA AT 7PM GREEN LINE CAFE SAT 13th
JUNE 13TH
OCEAN FLOOR ORCHESTRA/
Folk / Soul / A'cappella
"...sounds eerily like the jazz soundtracks to "The Muppet Show"
pouring into a pop that's density rivals Henry Cow... The Ocean Floor
are writing symphonies by quotation... They're not simply rehashing
psych-rock or folk; they have created a pop that's contemporary from
history's plateaus." - Andrew Jones, Skyscraper Magazine
"Enamored with a sense of wonder and fascination while never supposing
that the novelty of any given situation can ever run out, the album is
a loot bag of bejeweled sounds and Barringtons lyrical versions of a
suburban magic-realism. It contains anti-cynicism in concentrated form
and whimsical weirdness for weirdness sake, all of it bypassing twees
often overbearing preciousness and supposition that being calculatedly
unconventional or childlike should be enough." - cokemachineglow

Indie / Experimental / Folk Rock
In Just in the last month, Jimmy Hughes took himself out of Athens,
Georgia moving to the city of brotherly love. Its a move thats
unlikely to affect his personal tides and compositions, for once the
zaniness and uncorked atmosphere of one of the weirdest cities in
America has reached you on a personal or impersonal level, theres no
extracting it back out the yarns that he spins are reminiscent of
those that a babbling old man at the end of his days would produce.

CHURCH
The best, most unfuckwithable, avant-pop Ive heard in my default jam
of the month.
One of Portlands finest indie outfits.
-Portland Mercury
A perfection of textures that leaves little room for improvement.
