The Illness Share Single and new AI Video

I have a feeling many of you are like me, completely unaware that Bob Nastanovich and Steve West (of Pavement fame) have gone out as the Illness to craft an entirely different breed of music. They’ve got the Summerase EP coming out next week via Sea Records, and this is the first track to tease us just a little bit. You can lock into Bob and Steve’s grooves, just as you would in the old days, but here you get these vocal lines overlapping, creating this sort of spaced out disorientation, immediately locking you into the visual journey created to accompany the video. Speaking of that video, it’s entirely AI created, so not only do you get the duo pushing into new musical horizons, but their choice of video also sees them trying out new things. Grab the Summerase EP on June 23rd!

Old Jam (but new to many) from Silver Jews

Make no mistake about it, Silver Jews has definitely left a mark on the indie scene, especially considering the line-up of Dave Berman, Stephen Malkmus and Bon Nastanovich–they’re the only ones playing on this track.  Drag City is digging deep and releasing Early Times on June 19th, which is comprised of tracks from the group’s early EPs.  Just listening, you’ll notice the recording isn’t necessarily the best, but that’s what makes it such an interesting song, as it contains the talent the band went on to display, but also those tiny imperfections that endeared us to Berman and Malkmus in the first place. Hope you like it.
