Doldrums Bring Out New Single

June 6, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Guess I’m really feeling the electronic bug today, as I’m bringing out this Doldrums hit to keep you focused on the new album, Esc. Airick Woodhead’scraft seems to take on a poppier side of glitchy vibes, though there are some synthetic touches that smooth the path for a pop underbelly. You’ve got to figure that’s on purpose ashe brings in his vocals, further polishing the song up. I love the little heavy beats that pop up from time to time in the distance. June 30th will see the release of his latest album, so be sure to mark it on your radar if you lean towards the electronic side of pop.

Interview: Catching Up with Moon King

August 2, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Like many of you out there, we hopped all over town during SXSW, and I think all of us caught Moon King at some point or another, and all with positive reviews. We were lucky enough to catch up with Daniel from the band before they head out on the road with Majical Cloudz.

Read on for his thoughts on SXSW, touring and the band’s future LP.\

Show Review: Crystal Castles (Sea of Phones) @ Music Hall (4/21)

Let’s just call Sunday what it was: a horrific sea of phones. It’s clear to me now that Crystal Castles have blossomed into a deserving huge act, which unfortunately brings with it its own set of problems. We showed up early to catch Canadians Doldrums do their thing.

You can read on for my thoughts, and pics of Doldrums from our boy Brian Gray. Read more

Date	Sunday, April 21st
Location	Austin Music Hall
Doors	7:00 PM
Tickets	$30 from Frontgate

I’ve been really excited about this show since its announcement. Not only have I really appreciated the growth of Crystal Castles that was is illustrated by their latest, III, but their live show at ACL was definitely in my personal favorites this year. They blend noise, electronica, fog and lights; it’s simply compelling. Opening up the night is Doldrums, who aren’t too shabby either. We’ve been fortunate enough to catch them opening for several acts over the last year or so, and I can assure you that it’s worth your time to show up early. It might be pricy, but you’re going to get your money’s worth!

Show Preview: Bear in Heaven @ The Parish (4/24)

April 23, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Date	Tuesday, April 24th
Location	The Parish
Doors	800 pm
Tickets	$14 from Frontgate

Just looking at the opening bill for this show at the Parish on Tuesday should get you excited; both Doldrums and Blouse have made big waves in the indie pond this year, earning new fans and much acclaim. But, the spotlight surely has to be on Bear in Heaven, a band that continues to push themselves. Their recent release, I Love You It’s Cool, was exceptional in its construction, coming off a great deal brighter than their earlier effort. You can also be assured that they’ll bring some elaborate lighting/video with them as they did during their recent SXSW performances. Put that with the always excellent sound at the Parish and we’re all going to have a great night.
