Slept On Lotte Kestner

This last week Lotte Kestner dropped the video for “Go to Sleep Now,” which immediately made me go back and listen to her album from the latter half of 2017, Off White. This track’s pretty mesmerizing; the attention to detail in the song’s craft really hone in on the connection between listener and musician. Anna-Lynne Williams’ voice has this beautiful fragility to it, almost as if it’s shattering as syllables fade back into the mix. Admittedly, I missed this LP, so I wanted to rectify that by sharing this new video; her album is available now via Saint Marie Records.

 

Show Preview: Pity Sex and Solids @ Holy Mountain (Tonight)

holyRarely do you get to start off your week with such a bad ass show, but I’m really excited for tonight’s gig over at Holy Mountain.  You’ve got a couple of solid openers in Costumes and Gang Sign, but there’s also one of the most overlooked bands of the year jamming strong, Solids.  Their album Blame Confusion is this boisterous bombast, and I highly encourage you to get out now and get yourself a copy of it. Then the night gets closed out by Michigan’s Pity Sex, who offer up a shoe gaze-y version of rock n’ roll; they’ve got the ability to go loud, or pull back with a little bit more melody. This is the perfect way to kick-start your week, and lose a little hearing.

 

AMENDMENT: Pity Sex have had to cancel their slot due to traveling issues. So now Solids will headline!
