The Road

Maybe it's because I'm reading the book now and can't get gray ash out of my head, but this theme Nick Cave & Warren Ellis wrote for The Road...is stunning. It's the sound of bleakness. If you close your eyes for a minute, you can actually SEE bombs falling on everything. You can hear "the end." Saw the post on GVB, and haven't been able to stop listening.

Halloween Kick-Off, Scary Realism

GVB posted this freaky realism video from Salem, in conjunction with their new, limited 7": Frost. You might want to watch it in bursts because it's kind of Hellraiser-esque.

1 From Austin, 1 From Brooklyn, Neon Indian Research

A timeline, as best as I can construct it, like some sort of movie P.I.:

4.2.2009 - Two acid washed tracks appears anonymously to Gorilla Vs Bear. Gorilla VS. Bear Posts. They are good.
4.16.2009 - GVB posts another song. Reports their EP coming soon. They're from Brooklyn and Austin. Not sure which is which. Details coming.
8.14.2009 - Pitchfork posts Rising Star review. Gives description including adjectives "gauzy" and "glossy."
9.16.2009 - "thefader" in Dallas posts a mini concert-cover on youtube. Neon Indian is featured. See above.

So that's where we're at now. Their new EP, Pyschic Chasms, is out Tuesday, Sept. 28th. Sounds like we should all buy it (check out their song below via Gorilla VS. Bear).
