Nashville's Dead

The holidays are a funny thing. Reflection and gratitude. Family time and naps to escape family time. The internal struggle of “corporate tradition” vs “free food.” I don’t really mind it. Got a good dad and a warm home, so color me thankful. If you can’t make it home this year, let me know, and I’ll bring you a plate back from my aunt’s house. Really, I will.

Now shows: Jonathan Richman at the Stone Fox tomorrow, William Tyler and Friends at the Stone Fox and Death Domain and Serration Pulse at the East Room on Friday, Gazer at the Hyman House on Saturday, and CE Schneider Topical at Rat Snake Lodge on Sunday.

DREAMSALON

It’s not often that something creeps up into our inbox and actually makes our tail wag, but this newest jam from Sweet Rot Records is sounding prettttty good. Dreamsalon is a new name for us. Internet says they’re from Seattle and are made up of members of A Frames, the Intelligence, and Evening Meetings. All we know is this single, “Soft Stab,” sounds like Cheap Time with Jeffrey Lee Pierce on vocals, and that – is – our – language. Listen below, and get the LP from Sweet Rot here.

Weather’s about to strike us down. COLD colds, last of the leaves gone. Don’t let it get you down. Like weeds in the sidewalk crack, good shows are resilient. They never go away completely. Angel Olsen is at Mercy Lounge on Wednesday, Paul Metzger is at the Emma Bistro on Thursday, and Thee Oh Sees (!!!) and Jack Name (!!!!!!!!) are at Exit/In on Saturday while Party Plates are at Cafe Coco.

JESSICA PRATT

Jessica Pratt’s 2012 debut caught us all by surprise. An unknown artist on an unknown label, she still managed to release one of the best albums of that year and earn the attention and respect of critics and fans alike. Last week she released the first single from her sophomore LP, On Your Own Love Again, and it sounds like this one will be just as good as the last. It’s a bolder sound than we’re used to hearing from her. Gone are the delicate picking runs and bedroom vocals. Has she grown into a more confident artist, or is she simply more confident of her place in the world? Maybe the record will tell. On Your Own Love Again will be released via Drag City on January 27.

Solid week ahead. The Burger Records Caravan of Stars hits Exit/In on Wednesday, there are a good coupl’a shows at Rat Snake Lodge on Wednesday and Friday, Meatbodies and Purling Hiss play at the End on Thursday, Peter Stringer-Hye and more are at the East Room on Saturday, and Fox Fun is playing a BBQ Sunday afternoon. Get at it.

JACK NAME

A truly great record is one of the best gifts you could give this world. It’s honesty and hopefulness unconstrained. No one can touch it. We live in a time where freak viruses cause transatlantic terror and grey-haired poobahs spend their days trying to tell us what’s right and wrong. It’s enough to make you wanna hideout in your fortress of solitude, just you and your solid dudes.

Jack Name is a beacon of light in this heavy fog. He’s got a new record coming out called Weird Moons, and it is truly great. Truly, truly great. The first single, “Running After Ganymede,” was released a few days ago. Unwavering synth and drums provide the vehicle, Jack is the driver. Listen below for a taste. The record isn’t out til January 20th [courtesy of Castle Face], but make sure to catch Jack when he opens for Thee Oh Sees at Exit/In on November 15.

Beth Israel – Dental Denial

Sup Halloweeeeeeners. So, as you know, there were a buncha free shows/parties going on Halloween with some of Nashville’s finest struttin their stuff, which is important and awesome and how things should be all the time. Equally important/awesome/how things should be is the good fortune of a sick touring band, which we had the chance to catch at The Cage on Friday night. Austin’s Beth Israel made their Nashville debut alongside local kings Study Hall, BZRK, Ttotals and newcomers Modern Convenience. Their live set sounded like a more American hardcore-influenced Total Control, who we’ve proclaimed our supreme devotion for time and time again, with stronger ties to Minor Threat than Suicide. Needless to say, we dug it and encourage y’all to check out the rest of the dates of their tour, which is headed up New Yak-ways according to their Facebook. Also, don’t forget to pocket their record, out on Parquet Court’s label — Dull Tools.  \\ YIP //
