A great review by Jennie Nichols

“ Experimental, yes. Futuristic, yes. Stereotypical? No. The Very Hush Hush play with modern simplicity and equal inspiration. Falling in love with the piano is once again a treat in Evil Milk. ”

A new review for The Very Hush Hush's Evil Milk!

“ Touching all corners between My Bloody Valentine and shoegaze to glitch pop, Evil Milk is an impressive study in patience and talent.”

Here's an old Possible Selves Review I just came across.

“ The songs are folky, yet beautifully spacy and serene. For every Mogwai-esque slow jam, there's a poppy, but nonetheless contemplative counterpart.”

“Occasionally touching, sometimes weird and always intoxicating, Giberman has crafted an album full of subtle grace and power. Thrills Without Gills: A Celebration of the Living Land is an instant contender for Best of 2008 lists.”

“A superbly crafted album, perfectly showcasing Giberman and his toe tappingly upbeat shoegazey folk... one of the nicest surprises of the new year.”

Wow, indie 'zine LMNOP just posted a sweet review of the new The Very Hush Hush album, giving it a 5 1/2 out of 6.

A cool, mentally absorbing album that doesn't sound like anything else currently on the horizon

Here's a great review of the self titled Possible Selves album from Sound as Language! "Neal Williams and Possible Selves are names to watch for. I can’t say I would be surprised to see either of those names turn up on the Matador, Merge or Touch & Go rosters some day soon!" Read Review

Check out three songs from d. biddle's recent show at the Hi-dive in Denver with the new lineup! Yes the man in the beard and suit is Duncan. 1 2 3

This song was written and recorded tonight in Boise by MonsterDudes. It's about vampire bats and it has a lot of practical information in it. If you've ever been concerned about having your blood sucked you may want to take notes. Info-core! vampire-bats.mp3

I recorded this years ago, only recently mixed it. The upcoming album will likely be called "Past Due" and will have lots of stuff from the last three years. I don't know why I feel like I have to finish any of these half-decent, partially abandoned recordings before moving on. I guess that I'm a bit obsessive like that.

A new ::tin tin:: demo has been posted from a practice in our cozy freezing storage space! See pics on the ::tin tin:: page. The final version will be on the upcoming album in 2007.

A song from my unreleased winter 99/00 bedroom sessions, "Great Chefs", is now available for download. The old grumps will try to tell you that Mary Lou Conroy narrated Great Chefs, but I swear in my day it was Andres Collandrea...Enjoy!

The Sao Bento Music clan is currently in the mixing process: The Very Hush Hush, ::tin tin::, Coehn Burns, and Dan Giberman are all busy mixing their new records for 2007! We at SBM are all VERY excited for the upcoming year. Please stay tuned!

So how does he sound? Well, he sounds like the type of guy who would just as easily write a song about the end of the world as he would about the pattern of your fingerprints. Does that make any sense? There is equal wonder and understanding in his music. It's quietly stirring, and subtley playful, as though Neal were playing on strings of glass, and feared that they might break. Link

Peter from TVHH wrote some amazingly sweet 8-bit friendly zombie music for a game I was working on... check it out, 4 sure. You can download the mp3 here.

Just stumbled upon this nice review of a recent monster dudes show in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. "Something in the group's anarchic improvisation seemed particularly liberating, involving as it did a father-son team engaging in a sort of fantasy performance closer to playtime than pay-to-play."

editor's note: tvhh have cancelled the remaining dates of their east coast tour

We've been augmenting and mixing the new coehn burns release for the last couple months... I'm headed to Boulder in Novemeber to finalize some things, do some touch ups, etc. I think we're still targeting april for the release.

Coehn Burns just emerged from the studio after recording the basic tracks for their new album. The new stuff was recorded at Stagg St. Studios in Van Nuys, CA (probably close to some porn houses...) by Erich Gobel. Some pics of the sessions are here. The highlight was definitely recording the stylophone.
