Poof Art & Pollens on the Roof!

Last Sunday I had 2 local bands play on the rooftop of 712- a perfect summer's evening with friends and music. I'd never heard either band before and they are both fantastic! Thanks to my friend Benny for helping set it up!

Poof Art is John and Sam Albert, a brother and sister indie pop group that will make your heart melt. Facebook page here: http://www.myspace.com/poofartmusic

Pollens got it all: catchy beats, tribal drums, dynamic Dirty Projector's-like girl and boy harmonies- a great combination and one of the best local performances I've seen in awhile. They have an EP called Pollens EP out- you can download it and name your price here: http://pollens.bandcamp.com/

Farewell Aldebaran

This is a fantastic record. I've had it sitting around for two years, and finally I'm listening to it today.
Farewell Aldebaran is by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester (the cover is a solarised picture of them with their daughter and cat). Released in 1969 on Frank Zappa's Straight Label. Psychy folk rock with synths. Songs are all over the place- poppy, somber, spacey, you got it. Bernie Krause plays the Moog here (he bought one of the first Moog synthesizers made, in 1966).

In honor of the Rapture which happened yesterday, here are the lyrics to their song "Rapture."


Divers asleep
Dream of the deep
Closing over their heads
Lost comrades gather by their beds
"Her voice in the drowned bells
was tolling
In rapture we died
Waves o'er us rolling"
Pilots beware
the perilous air
Streaming under your wings
Her voice in the hot sun is calling
In rapture you die
Flying and falling
Lovers who lie
beneath the night sky
neither speak nor hear
in the perfect stillness
She is near
Her voice in the heart's blood comes roaring
In rapture they die
Diving and soaring
