Sisyphus

Sufjan Stevens has teamed up with hip-hop musician Son Lux and rapper Serengeti to form the group Sisyphus.

They released an EP a couple of years ago under the name s/s/s, but the name sounded too much like the Nazi paramilitary organization so the name change.

Their self-titled debut album is due next month with the song “Rhythm of Devotion”.

Angel Olsen

Angel Olsen, is a singer/guitarist from Chicago via St. Louis.

A former player with Bonnie “Prince” Billy and the more obscure The Cairo Gang, her newly released 2nd album has the intriguing title Burn Your Fire For No Witness.

“Hi-Five” from the record is equally intriguing.

The Crystal Method

The electronic duo of Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland, known as The Crystal Method, have just released their 5th studio album and their first in almost 5 years.

I recall a dinner with the band in New York City last decade along with their record representative at the time Matt Pollack.

During the course of the meal one of the two (I don’t recall which) began choking on his food. Matt claims it was me but I attribute the rapid application of the Heimlich Maneuver to Matt. Regardless, the entrenched obstruction popped out onto the floor and even more memorable, we then all sat down and resumed our conversation as if nothing had ever happened!

That evening The Crystal Method did not become a solo act and today for some reason they have eponymously titled their new record.

“Emulator” is the first track.

“Emulator”
