CASTANETS

Castanets is the musical project of Raymond Raposa, a San Diego native based in Portland, Oregon. Their releases on Asthmatic Kitty Records is a musical clash between the traditional stylings of blues, country and folk and modern intuition (avant-garde psychedelic freak-folk).

Pitchfork review:
'My Heart", the economically arranged highlight from Castanets' latest, 'Texas Rose, the Thaw, and the Beasts' feels a lot like a homestead: Using only guitars, bass, drums, and voice, Raposa washes into a low cloud of reverb, a second, slight layer of vocals chasing after his own. Impeccably timed, the song builds layer by layer, the drums rising only as the third verse collapses, pushing tension to a short-lived pinnacle. "My tongue is forming new words for you/ My lungs are calling like birds for you," Raposa offers for the climax, offering the best of his body to someone intent on using all of him. Considering this may be the most quintessential Castanets song to date, it'd simply be didactic to spell out the metaphor."


QUCIKBEAM

Quickbeam are a fresh, newly formed Scottish indie/acoustic act. The three piece have recently started recording their first EP and gigging accross Scotland. Their sound was summed up best by Grandaddy/Modest Mouse guitarist Jim Fairchild, '...beautiful, sparse and concise at its finest'.
