Aldous Harding’s Cheerful Gloom at the Echo

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  New Zealand songwriter Aldous Harding is currently on a tour across North America to promote her beautiful new record, Party. The title is a slight misnomer, though, and I knew better than to expect a raucous affair at her LA stop at the Echo last Thursday night. Instead, audiences were entranced by her simplicity.  Read more.  Continue reading Aldous Harding’s Cheerful Gloom at the Echo

Intimate Performances from Tim Darcy and Hand Habits

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Danielle Gornbein.  Nothing says intimacy quite like watching your favorites perform solo sets in a sparsely filled room with near-complete silence, save for the music of course. This was the case at the criminally under-attended show at Resident this past Tuesday night, showcasing newly local songwriter Meg Duffy as Hand Habits and Tim Darcy, … Continue reading Intimate Performances from Tim Darcy and Hand Habits

Eat Your Fill on Gothic Tropic’s Debut LP, Fast or Feast

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  Cecilia Della Peruti has more in common with Father John Misty than meets the eye. It may have only dawned on her while we lounged at Echo Park Lake, as the Santa Ana winds ruined a family picnic nearby. After shamefully admitting I hadn’t heard Pure Comedy yet, she gushed, “the opening lyrics made me cry.” She began counting … Continue reading Eat Your Fill on Gothic Tropic’s Debut LP, Fast or Feast

vōx Envelopes the Pico-Union Project with Illuminating Performance

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Emery Becker.  Her name speaks for herself, or rather for all of us. vōx, Latin for “voice” and often band shorthand for “vocals,” doubles as a symbol of unity for the LA artist–her voice is our voice too. It is her chosen instrument, and her new EP, I Was Born, is resplendent in vocoder … Continue reading vōx Envelopes the Pico-Union Project with Illuminating Performance

Are Our Gods Best? Ruminating on Emay’s New LP, Ilah

sngalbums: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods.  Adams worked mostly solo on this record. A few guests contribute on the refrains, grounding the lofty project, but never detract attention away from what is largely autobiographical. Emay also produced all the backing tracks throughout Ilah, filling it with chopped drums and spliced samples for a unique listening experience, if not an acquired taste. The album’s production is … Continue reading Are Our Gods Best? Ruminating on Emay’s New LP, Ilah

Julia Jacklin kicks off US tour with blissfully honest performance at Bootleg Theater

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Andrew Gomez.  By the time Julia Jacklin came on, the Bootleg had filled significantly, and everyone was enjoying themselves. Having already heard her perform a solo acoustic set, it was satisfying to finally hear her now with a full band. The couple next to me seemed to have unlimited access to beer and was … Continue reading Julia Jacklin kicks off US tour with blissfully honest performance at Bootleg Theater
