Micro-Pixel-Rites CMJ Showcase!!!

Micro-Pixel–Rites is back for round 2. Elise, Emilie and I have put together a bill we think will titillate and scintillate… With these acts, how could the show not at the very least excite?

Dent May– Because you know what music you like, but you don’t know much about Mississippi (except how to spell it).

Steve Gunn– An intoxicating guitar song is as necessary as water.

Spectre Folk– Pete Nolan. Pete Meehan. Steve Shelley. A pretty and twisted racket…

Woodsman– Get foggy!

tooth ache.- Intricate soundscapes from a Vermont solo star.

TASTES to whet your appetite…

Dent May: Eastover Wives

tooth ache.: Skin

Woodsman: Balance

Love That Tooth Ache

Here’s Tooth Ache, a Vermont band (with fans in Mountain Man, another Vermont band that covers a Tooth Ache song, “Holy Father.” You know it, “You must be some holy son and father son and only father… one, one, one, one.). The music of Tooth Ache is mystical and hums with curiosity. “Skin” is intoxicating–what with those hand claps, angelic voices and synth-y keyboard lines.

There’s something to be said about the music that is haunting solely because of its simplicity. That’s what’s up with “Skin.” The break down comes at both the obvious and perfect point in the song. And…. repeat.

This song will come out on the “Lazarus/Skin” 7″ on Father/Daughter Records in late August or early September. Tooth Ache plays Silent Barn on June 29.
