The new Mount Eerie singleReal Deathcompletely fucked me up. The full album is out March 24th.
WRITTEN AND RECORDED August 31st to Dec. 6th, 2016 in the same room where Geneviève died, using mostly her instruments, her guitar, her bass, her pick, her amp, her old family accordion, writing the words on her paper, looking out the same window. Why share this much? Why open up like this? Why tell you, stranger, about these personal moments, the devastation and the hanging love? Our little family bubble was so sacred for so long. We carefully held it behind a curtain of privacy when we’d go out and do our art and music selves, too special to share, especially in our hyper-shared imbalanced times. Then we had a baby and this barrier felt even more important. (I still don’t want to tell you our daughter’s name.) Then in May 2015 they told us Geneviève had a surprise bad cancer, advanced pancreatic, and the ground opened up. What matters now? we thought. Then on July 9th 2016 she died at home and I belonged to nobody anymore. My internal moments felt like public property. The idea that I could have a self or personal preferences or songs eroded down into an absurd old idea leftover from a more self-indulgent time before I was a hospital-driver, a caregiver, a child-raiser, a griever. I am open now, and these songs poured out quickly in the fall, watching the days grey over and watching the neighbors across the alley tear down and rebuild their house. I make these songs and put them out into the world just to multiply my voice saying that I love her. I want it known. "Death Is Real" could be the name of this album. These cold mechanics of sickness and loss are real and inescapable, and can bring an alienating, detached sharpness. But it is not the thing I want to remember. A crow did look at me. There is an echo of Geneviève that still rings, a reminder of the love and infinity beneath all of this obliteration. That’s why.
If you like your music on the heavy/guitar alt side, he has some good stuff on it (check out Young Lady You Are Scaring Me or Don't Mind the Lion). I would love for him to be a small stage addition for Bonnaroo this year.
So, a few months ago, I found out Agalloch broke up. Actually found at the Tombs show talking to someone about the Agalloch shirt I was wearing. Bummer.
But anyway, John Haughm, the main force behind Agalloch, is in a new band called Pillorian. Their new album comes out next month. First track from the album is streaming on Bandcamp.
Can definitely hear some Agalloch tones in the guitars, but focuses more on the black metal aspect of Agalloch. At least from the first track. Excited for the whole album.
Since the roo thread is dead where do we go to talk about random music? Anyway for now I know this song isn't new but I just heard it recently and it is so much fun. One of my favorite pop songs in recent memory.
