Secret Mountains, Other Colors, SoftSpot & Holy Ghost Party at the Windup Space 12/15

Secret Mountains

Tomorrow night there’s a pretty rad show going down at Baltimore’s Windup Space.  One of my faves, Secret Mountains, is bringing their force to North Ave.  Rumor has it, they have an album due out early next year and sometime very soon we’ll be hearing some new sounds from them. Also on the bill is Bmore’s Other Colors and Holy Ghost Party (both of which have some tremendous releases out on Gen Pop) and Brooklyn’s SoftSpot. RSVP here. See you there?

PORTALS Monthly Mixtape – November 2012

Another monthly mix dropped on PORTALS last Friday and it’s one of my favorites. Baltimore’s Which Magic has her lovely “Electra Light” blazing on it as well as some sweet jams from Yom San, Headaches, Poppy Red, and The Townhouses.

Stream/download the full thing right here.

Also  - that swell artwork you see above was done by yours truly ;)

Weekends – “Conspicuous Waste”

Baltimore’s Weekends, usually known for their buckets of gobs and gobs of energy, has an album of acoustic lo-fi renditions, Acoustic Tape Volume 1, coming out tomorrow on cassette via Friends Records and on CD via Reoccurring Dreams Records.  Normally hearing this would come as a shock, but previously they put out an acoustic version of  “A Defining Love” that was spectacular, so I figured the rest would be gold too.  I was right!  Take a listen:

There is also a release show going down at the MICA Cohen plaza with KISHI BASHI.  It’s free and they’ll be playing with a string quartet (!!!).  RSVP here.
