Howling Into Harmony : Beijing Noise Documentary
Beijing is a city of endless noise, the roar of construction and gridlocked traffic never too far off. The capital is also home to a flourishing experimental music scene, where young Chinese respond to their surroundings with a cathartic racket.
Howling into Harmony takes an intimate look at the lives of three local musicians and their parents, exploring the delicate balance between rock n’ roll rebelliousness and family, Westernized culture and deeply-rooted nationalism. Using underground music as an entry point, the film explores the world of young Chinese in the big city.

TORONTO NOISE MAKERS ODONIS ODONIS DEBUT NEW SINGLE: BUSTED LIP
Taken from the debut album ‘Hollandaze’ – a grimy, gum-splattered ménage of surf-gaze, punk and lo-fi – ‘Busted Lip’ is the latest single from noisy Canadian’s Odonis Odonis. Originally a solo project for prolific songwriter/ bandleader Dean Tzenos, Odonis Odonis has in the last year also become a formidable live concern. Based in Toronto, Odonis Odonis make killer hook-driven tunes that hark back to the classic ‘80s sounds of The Jesus & Mary Chain, Pixies, Big Black and The Cure. Like a good post-modernist, however, these influences colour but do not define Odonis Odonis.
Compiled from a wealth of material written and home-recorded between January 2009 and September 2010, Dean recorded virtually all of ‘Hollandaze’ alone in a tiny home studio, writing two or three songs a day – generally starting with drum programming – before adding bass then guitar and vocals, experimenting with a host of different styles.

PORTLAND DREAM POP: RADIATION CITY DEBUT NEW TRACK AND NEW VIDEO
NEW VIDEO FROM SHARON VAN ETTEN: LEONARD
2012 has been going supremely well for Sharon Van Etten. The year kicked off with her debut performance on late night television; her stunning new album, Tramp, unleashed on the world via Jagjaguwar, was surrounded by a flurry of excellent press, including a profile in The New York Times Magazine and a rave review on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Shortly after, she kicked off three months of touring with sold out shows across the northeast and midwest, culminating in a three-night run in her hometown of New York. Sharon is in Europe now and begins the second leg of her North American tour next week with two special shows at SXSW – the NPR showcase at Stubb’s on Wed.
Before heading down south, Sharon wants you to soak up a little more of Tramp with the video for “Leonard.” The video, directed by Sam Zimman. Check it out.

NEW VIDEO FROM TEARIST: UNARMED
Watch the new video from Tearist for the single “Unarmed” directed by Sean Stout.
Over the last two years Tearist has become one of the most notorious and vital bands in the new underground pulsing through Los Angeles. Building on songs driven by intense vocals and synths, the duo’s performances are known for being deeply physical and direct events. Yasmine Kittles sings from the depths of her body/soul and moves in a near-transfixed state, using scrap metals to scrape rhythm from the ground beneath her. All the while, as if telepathically linked, William Strangeland uses sputtering, cracked synthesizers to create shimmering melodic lines along rumbling interlocked beats and rhythms. Their songs flow and surge, building thick layers of analog sound and noise, often leaving wrecked PA’s in their wake.
OTHER LIVES: LIVE AT BOWERY BALLROOM 2.17
Other Lives were at the Bowery Ballroom on Friday night as part of their first major venue headlining tour. Coming off of their tour with Bon Iver, Other Lives will be beginning a ten day stint supporting Radiohead. A big step for any young band, but to kick off Radiohead’s first US tour since 2008, it will be huge. The exposure that they’ll get out of this tour will be incredible and it couldn’t happen to a more talented group of musicians.
I last caught Other Lives at Mercury Lounge back in June (Review), but the professionalism at the Bowery showed a definite level of maturity.
