Warm Ghost – Narrows (Review)

Warm Ghost

Narrows

Released by Partisan


While music critics have been busy coining the term Chill Wave to describe the burgeoning crop of electronic acts whipping up dreamy soundscapes in their bedrooms, Paul Duncan and bandmate Oliver Chopy are already pushing past those definitions with a sound that comfortably cozies up with the name they’ve taken for the project.

Dark Disco In Brooklyn with Mary Anne Hobbs, Nosaj Thing + More

 

MeanRed is back with another devious dose of their darkside endeavor, Dark Disco. This time, it’s housed in the venue of Brooklyn’s own Music Hall of Williamsburg, with a lineup that’s undoubtedly impressive and immersive. The night will feature DJ sets from (now) post-chillwave act Toro y Moi, “lovestep” extraordinaire Dirty South Joe, and URB favourite Mary Anne Hobbs. What’s most intriguing is that L.A.’s abstract beatmaking sensation, Nosaj Thing, will be performing live a bit differently. Nosaj will be doing an impressive (and rarely done) full A/V set, with a focus on magnifying the live experience of Nosaj Thing (which is already fantastic). Details on where to get tickets and the flyer with info on tonight’s festivities after the jump.
