Decades Under the Influence:
Three New Records Find the Way Forward By Reaching Backward
The young but wonderful career of Denton TX's Midlake should be
instructive to us: fantastic albums can come out of delving into
"period" rock. Bamnan and Silvercork (2004) is a lo-fi Sgt. Pepper's -
bizarre characters float through brief songs replete with bright
melodies....The following three records were chosen as a sampling from
these releases, each having taken themes from the musical rock
explosions of the 1960s and 1970s and refashioned them in their own
likeness.
Just in: A special feature by writer Brandon Forbes. The March issue
of Thirsty also features interviews with Elizabeth and the Catapult
and Pedro the Lion's David Bazan. Featuring: Joe Coleman from Paris; a
video feature with The Countdown; Chicago garage rockers Miss Alex
White and the Red Orchestra; Loney, Dear; Grizzly Bear; The Dials;
Goldrush; and more....
Thirsty also announces its store, opening March 15, featuring music by
Ryan Licht Sang and Elizabeth and the Catapult. Purchase t-shirts,
artwork, and more Thirsty gear starting March 15.
Even more to come as Thirsty continues to drop in special features
throughout the month.
