The DIY and IRL energy of punk rock mutual aid

Bands like Ekko Astral are bringing the urgency of online solidarity into the mosh pit.

This was the first month of @colbertlateshow.bsky.social, BH with Vic on bass, the band sounding like Love & Rockets. It ruled. They'd go on to play a gorgeous version of "Somewhere Tonight" on #Conan. I bought the roses. youtu.be/K5j238Qlzik?...

Today is the anniversary of Thank Your Lucky Stars, the second @beachhouseband.bsky.social album of 2015. Released two months after Depression Cherry, they ended up promoting TYLS songs at TV, skipping the DC tracks entirely.

"One Thing" was the first performance on cycle. youtu.be/EQGSOgSe8Ro?...

Wrote about Beach House’s Bloom for @pastemagazine.bsky.social’s list of the best albums of the 21st century so far

Victoria Legrand and Alex
Scally's third album as Beach House, 2010's Teen Dream, transformed them into indie darlings, and
their music appeared in everything from Zooey Deschanel's twee-V show New Girl, a Guinness ad, and generational anthems from The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar. Although Teen Dream was a level-up in terms of songwriting (catchy choruses!) and production (live drums!), its bigger, bolder follow-up, 2012's Bloom, matched those upgrades with its mountainous scope and luxuriant sonics.
Early cuts like "Myth" and "Lazuli" set the stage for what soon follows with gauzy guitars and booming drums, and both songs have become expected characters in the Baltimore duo's live sets.

Daniel Franz's rollicking toms on "Wild," augmented by co-producer and indie mixing legend Chris Coady, were designed to be heard in wide-open festival fields. "Irene" ends the album with a comparable level of majesty; a fuzzed-out, one-note riff, chromatic guitar leads; Legrand's lilting legato; and, after several minutes of silence (or a groove that infinitely repeats until you manually move the needle on the vinyl edition), the extravagant hidden track "Wherever You Go." On Bloom, Beach House firmly cemented themselves as dream-pop mainstays, undoubtedly among the most influential indie bands to emerge this century.
