Stephen Malkmus “Sparkle Hard – The Movie”

Stephen Malkmus will release his 7th album “Sparkle Hard” on May 18th thru Matador Records & Domino Records.

 

Malkmus

 

He’s already released the amazing single “Middle America” which sounds just like a Stephen Malkmus song should sound, that slack rock sound. And now comes a short film aptly titled “Sparkle Hard: The Movie”.

 

 

On the new album there’s a collaboration with Kim Gordon on “Refute”, which was the latest single released that followed “Shiggy” and the already mentioned “Middle America”.

In this mini documentary directed by the graceful Brook Linder, who has directed videos for Spoon, Wolf Parade, Grimes, Beck, Operators, NIN, handles the duties of presenting Malkmus hitting Tennis balls and riding in a horse and playing acoustic guitar, amongst other activities.

It’s a great short film that deserves your attention if you’ve ever been a fan of any of the aforementioned bands.

Don’t forget that Malkmus will be playing the Casbah, in what will sure be a memorable show, on Friday July 20th.

This is Parish’s first album since 2013 “Screenplay” and prior to that he had done a score in 2010 for the film “She, A Chinese”. Even though it may seem he hasn’t been that busy truth is he has, touring with PJ Harvey on her Hope Six Demolition tour and also co-producing her last two albums.

Which bring us to his most recent solo release. The song “Sorry For You Loss” was released and in this song you also get PJ Harvey doing vocals along John Parish.

 

 

There will be live dates to support the album announced soon. Meanwhile enjoy the song.

Bonnie Prince Billy – Wild is the will

Bonnie Prince Billy performing a Susanna Wallumrød song “Wild is the will”.
Digital release of this single is available from Drag City.

“During the making of the WOLF OF THE COSMOS record, Will Oldham was immersed in Susanna‘s music.  Brian Strumke of Stillwater Artisanal Ales asked  Oldham if he was down for another collaboration (the previous one got Bonny and Louisville jammers Watter together for a demonic dirge “The Devil is People”).  They started talking Norway, and fortitude, and mysticism; then they retreated to their respective corners to roll up their sleeves and do their own dirty worx.  Oldham found Susanna’s original for “Wild is the Will” on her FLOWER OF EVIL record.  The ensemble from WOLF OF THE COSMOS (Emmett KellyCheyenne Mize and Chris Rodahaffer) was reassembled. Joining them were two proper Norsemen, Frode Haltli and Vegar Vårdal  Stillwater will be releasing a beer of the same name. The beer is a rustic sour ale aged on cedar; it pairs excellently with horse meat. The artwork is a watercolor by close Bonny compatriot Oscar Lee Riley Parsons.  There is a wonderful video clip to accompany the music made by Ramin Eshraghi-Yazdicalled “A Baby Listens to Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy“”.
