Saturday, April 12 Talk About A Weather

Plenty to cover on tonight's In House, including music from Portland's A Weather. The band plays their CD release show for the new release Cove tonight at Mississippi Studios on a bill that also includes Carcrashlander. Coming just over a year after the band's formation, the debut finds frontman Aaron Gerber and drummer Sarah Winchester trading hushed vocals against the understated production of Norfolk & Western's Adam Selzer. In short, it sounds like Portland-- nine months of it, anyway.

MP3: A Weather, from Cove- "Spiders, Snakes"

 

Also tonight, new music from Jim Noir from his new self-titled effort on Barsuk. The eponymous release is the second for the Manchester-based artist, who it's been said is something of a pop savant. Indeed, the music supports this claim, as Noir concocts a pop stew made up of elements snatched from the nooks and crannies of pop music's last forty years or so. Brian Wilson, Syd Barrett, and even Brian Eno are all well-represented.
