Tusko

Oneida with Mike Watt

Recorded live at All Tomorrow’s Parties “Nightmare Before Christmas” festival, December 2010  “Tusko” sees Oneida-plus-Watt at turbo-thrust levels of improv splatter-choogle, 8 hours or so into one of the near-mythic Ocropolis installation performances mounted by the O at a series of ATP festivals. Hours deep into this nonstop collaborative set, Watt takes the stage on crutches, someone passes a bass over, and he throws the fucking crutches into the audience and proceeds to rip into the heart of the groove....

Sleep Party People

Sleep Party People is the brainchild of Brian Batz, a Danish multi-instrumentalist with a boundless imagination. The one-man home recording project took shape in 2008 when Batz began experimenting with an old battered piano in his apartment. Coupled with a strange electronic alteration of his recorded voice, he created eerie, hypnotic sounds and haunting melodies forming the basis of Sleep Party People's self-titled debut album (2010). With the release of 2012's 'We Were Drifting On A Sad Song' and 2014's...

Popular Cycles

Busman's Holiday

Busman's Holiday is Lewis and Addison Rogers, brothers of melodic charm and ecstatic showmanship. Based in Bloomington Indiana, the duo released their debut full-length A Long Goodbye a couple years ago on JNR. Though adept in a D.I.Y. aesthetic of acoustic busking with only a guitar and a suitcase drum set, Popular Cycles is an expansion from the duo's stripped down origins. Recorded at Arcade Fire’s Sonovox Studio, arranger Matt Nowlin and producer Mark Lawson helped them capture an expanded sound, incorporating a 21-piece orchestra alongside the duo's charmingly...
