THIS WEEK FROM ROOFTOP FILMS: BIKER FOX, THE MAN NEXT DOOR, TINY FURNITURE
This week at Rooftop Films they are screening three great new independent features, all of them NY Premieres or Festival Award Winners.
Friday, June 11th
BIKER FOX
NY Premiere! A documentary about Tulsa’s best-known bicycle-riding, raccoon-feeding, scrapyard-dealing, screaming, motivational philosopher of life. Calling Frank P DeLarzelere III (AKA Biker Fox) a local celebrity is misleading – he is more agitator than prized local son. As a proponent of bicycles as a primary means of transportation, he is fighting an uphill battle against a Southern community that loves its cars, worships horsepower, and doesn’t smile upon long haired, flamboyantly dressed eccentrics calling for lifestyle changes.
It would be tempting for most filmmakers to make Biker Fox into a hagiographical portrait of a maverick fighting the good fight for healthy living against the close-minded authorities in a conservative small city, but Lamberton is equally interested in uncovering the darker sides of Biker Fox’s personality, making him much more human – and much more interesting.

THE MAN NEXT DOOR (EL HOMBRE DE AL LADO)
NY Sneak Preview! A smug designer in a one-of-a-kind Le Corbusier home has to deal with his crass neighbor’s new construction project in this comedy about architecture, class, and urban living. In the opening of The Man Next Door, Leonardo, a wealthy designer, is awoken one morning by the sound of a sledgehammer rattling through his signature home. His neighbor Victor is creating a window that will gaze right into his home – a sanctum Leonardo prizes for the purity of its privacy. With a delectable sense of design, buoyantly off-kilter performances, and a sublimely simple story, The Man Next Door is a dark comedy about light.

TINY FURNITURE
Presented in Partnership with BAMCinemaFEST
22-year-old Aura returns home to her artist mother’s TriBeCa loft with the following: a useless film theory degree, 357 hits on her Youtube page, a boyfriend who’s left her to find himself at Burning Man, a dying hamster, and her tail between her legs. Not an altogether unfamiliar character, but Aura’s down-to-Earth plight is exactly the appeal of this smart, funny, and deeply personal New York comedy that recalls Annie Hall-era Woody Allen. The minutiae of Aura’s life – from aimless family brawls to an awkward sex scene endow Tiny Furniture with a fresh sense of originality that has led to widespread acclaim for the movie since it claimed a top prize at the South by Southwest Film Festival earlier this year.

NEON INDIAN: SLEEP PARALYSIST
Discosalt Video of the Week 6/6/10: Neon Indian has a new dreamlike video for the aptly titled “Sleep Paralysist” which they shot entirely at The Miller House in Lexington, Kentucky. According to director Ben Chappell, Alan Palomo becomes “a tourist in this big hallucinatory land, so he passes through all these different crazy scenarios.” Its one big trip. While the highlight of Palomo’s trip to KY may have been the Hot Brown, filming the video seems like it was just as curious and ultimately rewarding an endeavor. You can check out the video below or watch a behind the scenes documentary on the making of the video right here:
BEACH FOSSILS: BEACH FOSSILS
[rating:4.5]
Beach Fossils: Beach Fossils
Label: Captured Tracks
Release Date: May 25, 2010
We can whine about labels all we want but sometimes labels are helpful. They prevent mistakes.
With labels, you’re less likely to mix up the dog’s generic value time peanut butter with the really good organic stuff or mistake the Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In with the latest Katherine Heigl Rom-Com.
Similarly, beachgaze or surfgaze is a pretty accurate descriptor you’re not likely to confuse with psych metal or day-glo hip-hop.
Likewise with beachgaze band d’jour, Beach Fossils.
The most aptly named band ever, the Brooklyn act’s self-titled debut LP is probably the easiest to get into and the hardest to get out of your head.
The sound?
Cheery bomp-a-bomp drums break high to the beat, muffled bass floats slow and low, and chimy, sea foam surf guitar rings out on an endless blue screen wave of reverb with vintage-sounding boy-girl (boy-boy) vox by way of The Raveonnettes.
One weird but welcome note – the bass curiously contradicts listeners with a muffled but out-in-front sound. At times, it sings more than the lead and remains on equal ground as its more obvious counterpart.
The vibe?
Light but not lite, bright but not blinding, laid back (but not in a surfer-turned-singer-songwriter sort of way) and surprisingly not sun-soaked.
Window View, a towards-the-back sleeper, best embodies the ‘Summer with the shades pulled’ mood most of the album conveys but single, Daydream and Should-be-next-single, Vacation are irony-free, fun-with-the-top-down proof that the band and its listeners both benefit from getting outdoors for some fresh air.
On all accounts, Beach Fossils is proof you don’t have to be a beachcomber, swimmer or surfer to make a great record that captures that summer sound. You don’t even have to be from a sunny climate.
Beach Fossils – Youth
– Casey Bowers
PEGGY SUE: FOSSILS AND OTHER PHANTOMS
Two voices are better than one – or so goes the mantra of believers in the cult of Peggy Sue. Best friends and creative compatriots Katy Young and Rosa Slade, along with drummer Olly Joyce, bob and weave their soulful, R&B-ready voices in and out of complex vocal interplay achieving sonic qualities all their own. A folk power trio of sorts, Katy, Rosa and Olly blend minimalist drums, acoustic guitars, accordion and strings into a soul-folk shotgun blast that is much more than the sum of its parts. Emotionally, the album centers on the darker side of love, with sharp-penned one liners smoldering like embers ignited by the breath of Klaw and Rex’s voice and furious strumming. A folk-punk wake-up call and their debut full length, Fossils and Other Phantoms signals Peggy Sue as one of the UK’s most promising imports.
“There’s kind of theme that runs throughout the album, because it was written over one period of time,” Rosa said. “The process of writing songs is very therapeutic. It usually tends to come at a time when you need the outlet for something … There’s quite a lot about what remains after something’s ended and … absences that still occupy spaces and remnants of things that have passed.”

FADED PAPER FIGURES: NEW MEDIUM
In their much-anticipated second album, New Medium, Faded Paper Figures return with a richer, fuller sound, even as they maintain all of Dynamo‘s indie-tronica charm. Fans of the band will be happy to hear all of the familiar blips, harmonies, and intellectual pop-references, but with even more life and energy this time around. Striking melodies, lyrical images, and classic pop forms–New Medium‘s lush electronica feels both intimately familiar and astonishingly new.
FREE MP3: KIDS OF 88: MY HOUSE (REMIX)
Kids Of 88 have teamed up with the Remix Artist Collective to bring you a free download of their “My House” remix. Download the track below:
MP3: KIDS OF ’88- “MY HOUSE (REMIX)”
McCarthy rules vocals, programming and “complaining too much”. While partner-in-heartbreaking Arts, plays synths, programming and “not complaining enough”.
The twosome describe their music as a “whimful combination of dirt spitting kicks and feathering grit. An overdose of nightlife; the lubricated moan of spilt vodka. The hard realization of concrete and the happiness of blurry vision. An alleyway gangbang between Grandmaster Flash and The Knack.” The rest of New Zealand know Kids Of 88 better as architects of the Platinum selling debut single “My House,” and follow up single “Just A Little Bit” which is a top 3 seller at iTunes. And the rest of the world? A UK Ltd Ed 7” of “My House” already released through Dryden Street / East City Records, official remixes for Ke$ha & Cobra Starship , and Zane Lowe recently playing new demo “Ribbons Of Light” on his UK Radio 1 Evening Session have certainly paved the way for arresting first impressions.
RED WIRE BLACK WIRE: BREATHING FIRE
Just in time for the weekend we have the perfect video for you to watch while getting ready to head out.
Red Wire Black Wire is a Brooklyn based 6-piece that creates music with the immediacy of a DJ and the subtlety of film score. The band’s recordings combine dense but precise layers of synthesizers, guitars, strings, horns, and pounding drums. Eschewing irony, singer Doug Walters focuses on the melancholy; critics have compared him to Robert Smith, William Burroughs, and Frank Miller. Red Wire Black Wire fuse electronic and organic counterpoint to create catchy, textured, and revealing compositions.
The band formed at Wesleyan University in Connecticut where they fleshed out Walters’ basement laptop compositions. The band self-released the 5 song Compass EP in 2008, which was later re-released by Tough Customer Records in the same year.
In 2009, the band moved to Brooklyn, New York and completed their first full-length album, Robots & Roses. The album’s synthesizer drenched, heavy-hitting, melancholic songs tell the story of Walters’ long New York nights from bars to bedrooms. His lyrics range from dreamlike and surrealistic portraits of city life to direct confrontation of lovers. They are stories of irresponsibility and indignation; love and loathing; sincerity and sarcasm. The album sounds just as great on a lonely subway ride home as it does on booming dance floor speakers.

THE FUTUREBIRDS: JOHNNY UTAH
The Futurebirds are an unruly band of boys from Athens, Georgia–but they might as well have been reared in the backwoods of Woodstock by Levon Helm himself. Reckless with passion and spirit their live show is a force to behold. Their debut release Hampton’s Lullaby is ready to be introduced to the world on July 13th via Autumn Tone Records.
The story of how the band came together goes something like this: Carter King and Dennis Love grew up together in Atlanta. They spent their days putting stink bombs into the portable toilets at the summer Olympics and discovered their ability to work together as a trouble-making team. The years passed and the boys started recording songs together during their breaks from college with Carter on guitar and banjo and Dennis on steel-pedal guitar.
Meanwhile, Daniel Womack was camped out in Waynesboro, Georgia raising stray dogs—and generally raising hell. Carter and Daniel met during their freshman year and have been playing music together ever since. Next to jump into the mix were Thomas Johnson and Brennan Miles who met Carter at Chase Park Transduction where three were honing in on their audio engineering skills. That leaves Payton Bradford. Payton graduated from University of Georgia on the highest academic scholarship and generally knows everyone–everywhere. He is a musical encyclopedia and can play just about anything he gets his hands on which made his destiny to meet the rest of the boys inevitable.
In the Spring of 2009 they started recording their EP and things have been generally peachy every since. Heavily influenced by local artists Drive-By-Truckers, the Star Room Boys, Elephant Six, The Glands and Dead Confederate.
Currently touring with Jessica Lea Mayfield the Futurebirds are: Carter King on guitar, banjo, drums, vocals, Daniel Womack on acoustic guitar, vocals, Payton Bradford on drums, guitar, banjo, vocals, Thomas Johnson on guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals, Dennis Love on pedal steel and Brannen Miles on bass.

SARAH BLASKO: AS DAY FOLLOWS NIGHT
“…for Sarah Blasko’s wonderful third album, As Day Follows Night, the cinematic visions – produced by Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn And John with an almost entirely unplugged palette of strings, sax, piano, nylon guitar, banjo, double bass, percussion and saw – are a rich frame for songs of naked heartache.”
–MOJO
Sydney native Sarah Blasko will release As Day Follows Night in the US on August 10th. The album garnered rave reviews in Australia and was named “Album Of The Year” by Triple J Radio, Australia’s largest radio network. The album is already the best-selling of her career, following her platinum 2004 debut album The Overture and the Underscore and 2007’s ARIA-winning What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have.
For As Day Follows Night, Blasko enlisted producer Bjorn Yttling (from Peter Bjorn and John) and accepted his invitation to record in his Stockholm studio.
“Going to Sweden on my own to work with musicians I had never met before was a bit daunting, but also really refreshing,” Blasko says. “I like the idea of an album being an adventure. Away from home, you’re more open to new ideas. In life in general, I like to feel uncomfortable, I like to put myself through difficulties unnecessarily. Nothing good comes out of being complacent.”

FATES: MURKY CIRCUITS
Fates are American composer Django Voris, Swiss electronic artist Moritz Wettstein, and British-born producer PJ Norman. The three met in New York City in early 2009 where their shared passion for electronic experimentation led to a series of recording sessions at Harvestworks, the foundation co-founded by Bob Moog to support experimental music. “The recording process was really the key to the sound,” says Voris, “ We would set up three laptops with as many devices as we could connect to them.” Some of those devices were hand built by Wettstein who, with his work in Algoritmo Caliente and Callboys, specialized in transforming everyday objects like telephones and shopping trolleys into electronic instruments, and has worked alongside many prominent electronic acts as they passed through the Zurich arts scene. “The Fates sessions would end up as a huge mess of interconnected cables and peripherals all on one table,” adds Wettstein, “We would approach each live performance in the same way, plug everything together in different variations and explore how it interacts.” This arrangement meant that the trio could record the sounds live, process them on the fly, and then resample each other – all in real time. The result was a series of extended live improvisations that explored a vast sonic palette, more in the vein of 60’s/70’s German psychedelic acts like Can and Neu! than modern forms of composed electronic music. Tasked with mixing this down into a coherent set of short compositions was tKatKa producer PJ Norman, who decamped to Zurich, Switzerland with the master sessions to tweak and distil each track into its final form. “New York has this energy that influences the creative process so much. Just the background noise of the city is a constant influence, a soundtrack…” says Norman, “I wanted to separate the process of composition from the mixing, to get an objective viewpoint over the material… the lake in August was for me a great contrast to the buzz of NYC.” This mix of extreme artificiality with a living evolution is crucial to the digital/organic sound of Fates. All the sounds, textures and frequencies on this record were created using computers in a live environment. The equipment and methods were artificial; the process was one of growth.

HOT CLUB DE PARIS: FREE THE PTERODACTYL 3
Hot Club de Paris are sharing a track from their upcoming EP ‘The Rise and Inevitable Fall of the High School Suicide Cluster Band’ with the equally fantastically titled track ‘Free The Pterodactyl 3’ which basically recounts guitarist Paul Rafferty’s attempt to liberate a 3 metre fibreglass Pterodactyl from an abandoned fairground resulting in a run in with the law.
The EP is released May 24th and celebrates Moshi Moshi’s 100th release.
WOOM… THERE IT IS!: NEW ALBUM MUU’S WAY AND TOUR
Confident in its artful eclecticism, calmly subversive, and wholly unironic, WOOM’s debut record Muu’s Way compels listeners’ attention to the Moment while swirling a deep current of contrasting styles. Combining the devastating emotional intensity of Panda Bear‘s Young Prayer and the sharply focused rhythmic instincts of ESG, WOOM eschews sentimentality in favor of visceral experience. Focus on a point in the mid-distance and allow it to fuzz and fade a moment before slapping it back into place with a blink; this equates roughly to WOOM’s aural impact. -Hunter K. Giles

THE LOCAL NATIVES: WORLD NEWS
Matthew Lessner directed this cheeky video for Local Natives’ “Airplanes” ,taking you on a sunny mini vacation with sandy beaches, wild flowers, citrus salads, Hawaiian bathing suits, oxygen masks and ladys splashing around in a wading pool of punch. Lessner is the man behind the Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness Is the Move” video, which also doesnt make much sense, but sure as hell is fun to watch.
