HOT OFF THE PRESS (#6) - Lackthereof & Conor Oberst
HOT OFF THE PRESS (#6) – Lackthereof & Conor Oberst
by Nick Courtright
It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time for Nick Courtright’s
weekly first glance at music discovered in the last seven days, whether
it be just-released, just-leaked, or some long-lost gem that has
remained under the radar. Click here for other recent editions of HOT OFF THE PRESS, featuring bands such as
Bodies of Water, White Denim, The Walkmen, Au, and Grizzly Bear.
Lackthereof – Your Anchor
Released July 22 on Barsuk.
It’d
be pretty easy to compose a lengthy treatise on the rash of loop-based
musicians playing prominent roles in the scene nowadays, a group
ranging all the way from classically-trained Andrew Bird to knob-twisting Panda Bear, but instead we’ll just discuss Your Anchor and how it takes advantage of the benefits of looping, while also
encapsulating the method’s potential pitfalls. Lackthereof, notable
because they are the primary project of Menomena member Danny Seim, make music that sounds like a Menomena song lying
prone on the studio room floor, like an engine taken totally apart and
put only a little bit back together.
