Hamish Kilgour (The Clean) Announces Second Solo LP, Finklestein
Announcing Hamish Kilgour’s new album, Finklestein!
Hamish was generous enough to let us work with him on his first solo album, and apparently, we didn’t piss him off in any awful way, because we are back four years later with his second! Like before, I don’t know if “solo” is really appropriate, since he has a stageload of people assisting him here, but I would guess he had say on final cut, which is no doubt highly valued when you are most known for being in a band you share with your sibling (that band is The Clean, ok? The Clean. Ever heard of The Clean???) Finklestein takes Hamish’s mad creative instincts and lets it loose over a lightly themed album, based on a fairytale he conceived for his son. While Finklestein is the name of the imaginary kingdom he invented, the record Finklestein sounds like this entire world showed up to play an instrument.
Here are two songs for you from this glorious and colorful release, just to give a sense of the breadth:
For those early birds who love their Hamish, there’s a Finklestein Special Edition, which includes Funklestein, an entire second LP of music created to complement it’s cohort release. This bonus LP, limited to 50 copies and vinyl only, provides two psychedelirious side long tracks (Side A: “Reaction” & Side B: “Action”) using the same musicians and studio as Finklestein proper.
Click here for Hamish Kilgour’s Finklestein preorder. Album is out June 22nd!

TALsounds On Tour with Matchess
TALsounds and Matchess are hitting the road for a couple weeks this July, so if you're on the East Coast, you're in luck. Earlier this month we released Love Sick, TALsounds' debut LP. Natalie Chami's project centers on her ability to multitask with loops, synthesizers, beats, effects. She may be one human onstage, but the sonic presence is far greater. Don't miss out on what Wire calls "the sound of a synthesist at the height of her skills, with a voice at its most emotive and a melodic framework at its most fragmented."

The Renderers' music video for 'Seaworthy' has undergone some changes...
Watch the new video here.
We present you a follow up to the 'Seaworthy' video premiered on Impose, with added creepy eldritch footage at the end. It's a song from last years In The Sodium Light.
The video begins with the same dark, ominous tones that the band has showcased in years past. A slow motion shot of the sea, the title shown across the skyline as if written on a waving pirate flag. Tarot cards scattering across a painting of a 6 eyed mermaid gargoyle. And then a woman in a coffin. But it’s Maryrose, and she’s singing with her eyes closed. The video takes its time swapping between scenes as if its storyline is being performed on stage. The lighting, the stage pieces, it’s all a work of art. Add Maryrose’s gorgeous, sultry vocals into the mix with a little help from the strings, and this song – and its matching video – is a fairy tale come to life.
Video Credits:
Jorge W. Davies: camera, editing
Dominik Krzanowski: lighting, set design
Brian Crook: guitar
Mayrose Crook: vocals, guitar
Megan Siebe: viola, cello
Kevin Donahue: drums
Shahzad Ismaily: bass (unseen)
