MBV/Team Clermont SXSW Party Is This Thursday

MBV and Team Clermont SXSW College Party - Free Vinyl

The MBV/Team Clermont Official SXSW College Party is this Thursday– and pictured above is just a small sampling of some of the free vinyl that’s going to be handed out to the folks who manage to stumble in through the doors.

To refresh your memory: MBV has teamed up with our friends at Team Clermont to bring you the Official SXSW College Party. It’s at the Flamingo Cantina, 515 E. 6th St., from noon to 5 on Thursday, March 18th. Still can’t say who the “special guests” are, but I can tell you that if you’ve ever seen the climactic scene of Cheech & Chong’s “Up In Smoke”, it’ll probably go down similar to that.

12:00 Venice Is Sinking
12:50 Jeremy Jay
1:40 Collections of Colonies of Bees
2:30 Jookabox
3:20 Dengue Fever
4:10 Califone
5:00 Special Guests

Hope you can make it…

What Might Set You Off

White Hinterland - “Bow & Arrow” The new White Hinterland album is a creative departure for Casey Dienel, whose music had previously been focused on jazzy piano chords and fairly obscure lyrics. The piano is almost entirely missing now, replaced by synthesizers and a variety of percussion, and her words have taken a refreshing turn toward direct, economical language. She’s opened up emotionally, and her high voice has more room to emote in arrangements without as much treble and far more negative space. “Bow & Arrow” is one of the most successful of the new songs, and one of her best arrangements to date. As the music shifts between clattering nervousness and a forthright yet placid groove, Dienel sings from the perspective of a woman trying to navigate a difficult patch with her partner. It’s a very mature and sensitive song, avoiding hysteria and owning up to her own complications without seeming weak.
