Moonfacewith La Big VicFeaturing Spencer Krug who also leads Sunset Rubdown and plays in Swan Lake. He debuted Moonface in 2009 with Dreamland EP: Marimba and Shit-Drums, which consisted of a single 20-minute track. He'll follow that up on August 2, when Jagjaguwar releases a full Moonface album called Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped. In a press release, Krug explains that he'd originally intended to make something like Dreamland, with just vibraphone, bits of guitar, and spare percussion, but it didn't work out. Instead, he ended up recording on a double-manual organ and creating a set of what he calls "random half-pop" songs. Above, we've got one of those songs, "Fast Peter". Krug writes, "Though it's only 5 tracks long, Organ Music runs around 37 minutes and is dense, but in a satisfying way, I hope, like eating a small, heavy piece of cheesecake. It's music played with an organ, organ beats, organ beeps and bloops, and some digital drums. Music based on layers and loops, the hypnotizing sound of a Leslie speaker, and the onslaught of melody."La Big VicActually from Brooklyns La Big Vic. LBVs lead guitarist, Toshio Masuda, performed in a major label J-Pop boy band in his youth in Japan. He produced hip hop songs, commercials, and soundtracks before coming to America to become an inspirational R&B musician. Peter Pearson, the groups synthesist, is an apprentice to Pink Floyds live sound producer Jeff Blenkinsopp at Expert Audio Repairs & Servicing (EARS) Inc. One of Jeffs last interns was Gavin Russom. La Big Vics lead singer and violinist is Emilie Friedland, founder of Visitation Rites. She inspired us to start chatting with people about music. La Big Vic is a kosmische, trip-hop, genre buster. Actually is hook rich, atmospheric, and full of lurking positivity.
