STREAM Orbital ft. Zola Jesus :: “New France” (MP3)

Eight years since their last album (and 22 years since their first), you can still spot an Orbital tune from the first four bars. Such is “New France,” the latest off the band’s upcoming ninth full-length, Wonky. Even guest vocalist Zola Jesus sounds sampled straight from the duo’s early records.

While CMJ was business as usual for some media (and of course college radio stations), it provided a very sobering look into how things have changed for the marathon festival. Whether it be the economy or the current musical business climate, CMJ did feel more segmented than ever before. Regardless, there were some definite highlights and lowlights from the fest. Check them out after the jump.

The COMPLETE Pitchfork Fest 2011 Review

For six years, Pitchfork has been delighting an eclectic hipster crowd at Chicago’s Union Park.  Will this year be any different?  Will Odd Future be booed offstage?  Are rompers still in fashion?  These are the questions and here are the answers (in order of the questions) – yes, don’t know until Sunday, sorta if you’re a size 2.  If I know one thing for certain it’s that this festival thrives on chaos, the unexpected, the subtle, the juxtaposed and the uncomfortable.   …MORE
