More New Music from TV Ghost

August 23, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Over the last few weeks I’ve found myself immersed in the dark album soon to be released by TV Ghost. They’ve titled the record Disconnect, and In the Red Records will release the album on September 3rd. I think a lot of people are going to be really impressed, especially if they have the patience to let these tracks unfold. On the latest single, there’s a stabbing guitar pulse that ends up providing a rhythm for the track, while the cymbals carefully shake in the background. I think, for me, the most interesting thing about listening to this track is that the band is able to maintain your attention with each track, even though several tunes span over the five-minute mark. Here’s a new one to enjoy.

Angular Post Rock from TV Ghost

July 16, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Listening to this new track from TV Ghost, I’m reminded of what I always expected Interpol to become. Haunting vocal performances haunt the track, and the guitars cut in and out of the forefront of the song, often lurking back into a cave of distortion. There’s this driving tension that holds the whole song together; it almost seems to have this beautiful insanity wrapped tightly beneath a blanket of crashing cymbals. The fact that the song sprawls over five minutes long only adds to the feeling of impending doom, which, oddly enough, you’ll find yourself enjoying. Embrace it when the band release Disconnect on September 3rd via In the Red Records.

Chaos in Tejas Highlight: The Spits

June 1, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The first band in our installment of highlights for the wonderful Chaos in Tejas is The Spits. They’re a Seattle punk group who’ve released four LPs and a slew of compilations and 7 inches. Listening to them, I get this old Misfits feeling, though I’m sure that’s just wishful thinking on my part. They’re known to don costumes on stage, such as in this picture, and you’re guaranteed to get fast, dirty punk rock that’s going to have you bobbing your head, jumping up and down, or at the very least, tapping your toes. The band will be playing their darkness punk at Red 7 on Thursday, along with some great acts ( a few from Austin) like TV Ghost and High Tension Wires. For those with a passion for the harder edge, this is a great night to kick off the festival, so be sure to show up early and get your punk on with the Spits.
