MAGIC CASTLES
Magic Castles are a band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band started as an underground home-recording project by Jason Edmonds featuring some members of Jason's old minimalist/shoegazer band Nymore and Jeremiah Doering (formerly of Valet, Death Ships & others). the line up has changed a few times involving various people who were around at the time. The band's sound is influenced by bands like Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3, & Galaxie 500.
DARK DARK DARK
Dark Dark Dark revel in the world around us. On their sophomore album Wild Go, the chamber-folk sextet creates a stirring reminder to seek out the wonder and magic to be found in the everyday. Their sound sets Nona Marie Invie's soaring, haunting voice against an array of acoustic instruments, all the while leaving room for the listener to nestle themselves inside and take part. The 10-song collection is a marked evolution for the group, which began in 2006 as a collaboration between Minneapolis based musicians Nona Marie Invie and Marshall LaCount.
PAUL METZGER
In 1979, Paul Metzger drilled a few innocent holes into a Yamaha acoustic guitar. A self taught musician with 5 years of playing behind him, Metzger was growing tired of the conventions of the instrument. This lobotomy was the first of many surgeries that would follow in years to come. Strings were added, subtracted, added again; the frets of the neck were disemboweled and retrofitted with a sarod like metal fingerboard plate; paint was splattered over it, a rejigged music box was affixed to the guitar's belly, a crash cymbal mounted to its bottom.
