From Monument to Masses
Nice little nugget from an upcoming remix record by Bay Area post-rock trio From Monument to Masses. Don't be fooled by the deceptively titled name (they are not an emo-core act) because Schools of Thought Contend is a much more palatable set of 13 remixes and 2 new tracks influenced by artists ranging from Fugazi and Refused to DJ Shadow and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The track I posted today is a nice piece of things-are-looking-up electronic rock. Remixed by Thunderbirds are Now! (that's two "!" bands in 2 sentences, if only I could work !!! into the post) it is becomes reminiscent of a track sounding as if Her Space Holiday remixed a Get Up Kids instrumental. Now I know what you are thinking, but before you come running to Brooklyn with torches ablaze, listen to this track and then make up your mind. Happy, happy. Scissorkick News I have confirmed that our first annual ScissorSound party is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24th in Brooklyn at Studio BPM. Booked to help us celebrate our first year is BK's own Apsci and Matters + Dunaway, Boston's instrumental synth rock superstars. We are all very excited. DRM and myself will lay down the tunes between bands and you can expect a lot of classic cuts -- early Warp, Ninja Mo' Wax, Pork and Pussyfoot tracks in addition to classic indie rock, mid-90s hip-hop and of course the Ganja Cru's "Supersharp Shooter." Will be a jam and a half. Mark your calenders NYC people. More info to follow. Sign up
