I bet many David Lynch fans were curious as to how well the auteur’s noir and surreal vision would translate into his new musical pursuits? Lynch’s meticulous involvement with sound and score development in his films might suggest quite well, and early evidence provided on the Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse compilation, Dark Night of the Soul were intriguing, indeed. Well, now we have his first full-length offering, Crazy Clown Time on Sunday Best, and on it you will find many of the things that make Lynch’s work so interesting. On the title track, “Crazy Clown Time”, backwards slide guitar hangs on the edge of the subconscious like a curtain between waking and sleep, as Lynch seems to be transcribing the happenings at Amon Düül’s recording of Psychedelic Underground.

John Dwyer’s project Thee Oh Sees has sure travelled a long distance from its’ days as an acoustic two-piece to it’s current status as an anything goes, garage rocking five-piece beast. The band’s expanding roster now includes The Intelligence frontman Lars Finberg, as well as keyboardist/singer Brigid Dawson. Their newest In the Red LP Carrion Crawler / The Dream was initially envisioned as two EP’s, and was cut to tape in only a week at Chris Woodhouse’s Sacramento studio in June. The fast turn around keeps it raw, and on the track “Carrion Crawler”, Dwyer’s and Petey Dammit!’s guitars strut and bark back and forth while tangling for a few drunk, Crazy Horse brawls!

Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter of Phantogram are onto some dangerously addictive shit! I guarantee one listen to “Don’t Move” will have you sweaty and exhilarated, coming back to get more! The band’s newest, Nightlife, which just came out November 1st on Barsuk, was written in clubs and hotel rooms as the band toured in support of their highly acclaimed debut, Eyelid Movies. Carter explains, “Nightlife is kind of an extension of the whole process of making and touring behind Eyelid Movies, and it feels in a lot of ways like the completion of what we were doing with the songs on that album.”

Wow, bro, relax man. Your gonna break your voice cord or get some kind of Kurt Cobain stomach rupture! Cloud Nothings will have a new, Steve Albini produced LP, Attack on Memory, January 24th on Carpark Records. Till then, “No Future/No Past” is like walking into a sucker punch, with it’s Phillip Glass piano intro and slow building, bass broodings finally burning to the ground, as Dylan Baldi shreds his throat into a bloody mess.
