Infinite T.E. bros Boyfrndz have an EP dropping July 16th entitled ‘Natures’ and I was honored to be asked to make the video for one of my favorite tracks on said EP “Moving Parts”. I you are unfamiliar with Boyfrndz I highly recommend starting here. Enjoy!

I also want to give a public thank you to Chelsea Green, Adam Rossiter, and Florence Van Camerijk for doing all the weird shit I asked of them, and Scott Martin for setting the entire thing up.

When Ben Chisholm a.k.a. Revelator isn’t busy touring and producing for Chelsea Wolfe, he’s busy producing his own brand of equally dark and twisted sounds. According to Chisholm “”Euroshima (Wardance)” is a cover I recorded with my dear friend Freddy Rupper (Former Ghost). The track is for a tribute LP titled “_ever Alive: A Tribute to Snowy Red”. This release also features Led Er Est, Bestial Mouths, Mirror Mirror, //TENSE//, and lots of other shining young artists. You can order this beautifully pressed, double LP, via Weyrd Son.

I am currently writing and recording my full length debut as Revelator, as well as remastering the White Horse “Revenant Gospels” trilogy. The three EPs are set to be released on vinyl for the first time, later this year, also through Weyrd Son Records.”

The found-footage video for the track is almost as creepy as the track itself and leaves you wondering what kind of dark YouTube K-hole of a road one would have to travel down to find some of this stuff… ENJOY!

Last week eternal T.E. homie Blake Gillespie wrote a piece over at Impose Magazine titled ‘New New York: the false prophecy’. If you didn’t read it, in short, Blake claimed that the early 2012 hype of NY Hip-Hop was ill-deserved given the output of last year. However, as Blake pointed out, the potential saving grace was Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire’s ‘Kimset’ mixtape. Today, we get to jam ‘Kimset’ for the first time. And while I don’t completely agree with Blake aforementioned article, I do agree that ‘Kimset’ is a behemoth of a release. Stream / Download below.

And while on the topic of eXquire, be sure to check out this interview-esque video we shot a week back on a roof overlooking the Manhattan skyline.

Prove me wrong, but I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that PC Worship may be the all time kings of improv-punk-shred-garage-noise-barrage punk. Yeah that’s a new genre tag I just made up, and I it’s going to be big in 2013. This is a bit of a double post, not only do PC Worship have a brilliantly disturbing new found footage video for the track “It’s My Name” by VHS artist Ginny Benson and taken off the bands excellent new ‘Beat Punk’ LP, they also have the entire ‘Beat Punk record for you to stream (Tripple post, technically, if you include the small run of tour dates as well). We’ve loved these guys for years now. About three years ago we attempted to film a live session in a dingy basement in California. The video turned out great, but needless to say audio was a bit fucked; which I was bummed about at the time, but in hindsight, I’d rather have that as a story ‘…the only band too loud to film…”. So anyway press play below and get ready for a mini improv-punk-shred-garage-noise-barrage.

‘Beat Punk’ is available now via New Images.
LP Stream via Ad Hoc.

“In an editorial I wrote recently on the status of the New New York scene, I noted Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire possibly one of the few MCs who could render my thesis of “no classic albums” void, but it would take time. It felt important to leave his career arc up to question for two reasons. One: He’s only two, possibly three songs deep in his major label debut after inking the deal in 2012. Two: He’d recently begun discussing his music in a manner that suggests he cares not only about his craft, but how the public perceives it. He denounces the Power & Passion EP as pandering to his peers inability to maintain their identity, sacrificed to the radio hit, and as you’ll see from our Rooftop Interview, he did not arrive at this sobering conclusion alone.

When we set up the interview with Terroreyes.tv and Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, we requested that he bring passages that have recently inspired him. He’s gone on record of having Malcolm X and Huey Newton speeches in his headphones, but he caught us with a curve when he quoted E.B. White’s Here Is New York essay, referring to him as “the dude who wrote Charlotte’s Web”, and opened a copy of George Lois’ Damn Good Advice (For People With Creative Talent). It’s not that we never expected him to quote old white men (he’s got a mixtape named after a Philip K. Dick novel). We were just pleasantly surprised to by those old white men in particular. With his Kismet mixtape dropping tomorrow, we’ll soon hear if eXquire is back in prime form after the stumble. It is our first opportunity to find out if the devil’s advocate lost.” -Blake Gillespie (Impose Magazine)

We linked up with Alexander Spit in Los Angles to fire some questions at him, and get a #rare live performance. I shot this last year and completely forgot about it until I downloaded Spit’s newest project ‘Mansions 2′ and found the footage on my harddrive. Enjoy!

Finally something the entire internet can agree is beautiful and well deserving of all hype received. We’ve already heard “Dream House” and I wrote a bit how it made me feel actual feelings before barfing slightly in my mouth. Today we get graced with the title track off Deafheaven’s upcoming ‘Sunbather’ LP, and although the track is a bit more abrupt than “Dream House” it still carries a massive amount of weight. ‘Sunbather’ drops June 11th via Deathwish.

Admittedly, it’s taken me a few days to fully get my head around this new NYMPH track, but after copious listens, and realizing the bright guitars haven’t left my head since first listen, I’ve decided to share. It’s a track that leaves you bobbing your head back and forth before jettisoning your mind into full mind-fuck the next (in a good way, … I think), I mean, the track is aptly titled “Battle Funk”. “Battle Funk” comes off NYMPH’s upcoming ‘New Millenium Prayer’ LP which you can Pre-order ‘New Millenium Prayer’ here via the fin people over at Northern Spy.

‘ABANDON’ the latest LP from NY based one-woman noise ripper Margaret Chardiet a.k.a. Pharmakon is out now via Sacred Bones, but if you have yet to fall in love and cop the LP, here’s another primal cut “Ache”.

Loving this new track from UK’s Melt Yourself Down. I imagine walking down the street with magical powers inflicting odd mishaps upon unfortunate pedestrians, such as fly by pants-ings, magical gusts of wind that would rip off some poor old ladies wig, and other Jim Carrey-esque pranks of that sort while this track played in the background. The record drops sometime in June but until then just jam this track over and over and pre-order the LP here.

I had the opportunity to shoot and edit this Le1f music video for “Spa Day” (Directed by my good friend Jesse Miller Gordon). “Spa Day” is hands down one of my favorite tracks off Le1f’s recently released ‘FLY ZONE’ mixtape. We shot it in a literal spa because, ya know, why wouldn’t we… Enjoy!

Another day, another really good Lee Bannon mixtape. ‘Never/mind/the/darkness/of/it…’ is the follow up to Bannon’s excellent ‘Caligula theme music 2.7.5′ and sort sounds as if trap-music got a little sad and decided to open a physics textbook. Keep an eye on Bannon this year, he has some tricks up his sleeves…
