Eureka the Butcher (Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta, Zechs Marquise) announces 'Music For Mothers' album

Eureka the Butcher, solo pseudonym of Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez (also of Zechs Marquise and The Mars Volta) announces the forthcoming release of his debut album. The recording, Music For Mothers is dedicated to the multi-instrumentalist's mother Frances Sarah Rodriguez-Lopez who passed away last year. 

Listen to/share the album track "Here Comes Eureka B" streaming HERE. 

Regarding the album, Marcel writes:

"This record is for my mom because she is the reason why I started playing the piano. She told me that it was great that I wanted to play drums, but if I played the piano, I could create music and play to a room full of people by myself. I didn't start playing drums for another 4 years, and I wouldn't start playing piano for another 7 or so. That's when i started making electronic music. Making music under the Eureka name gives me that ability: to make music and perform by myself. I, however, do not perform alone. Sadah Luna performs with me because of my love for her dance and her love for my music. She completes the live show.

"This record was made all over the world while on tour with The Mars Volta and Zechs Marquise, and at home when I was on break. I worked on it in buses, vans, planes, dressing rooms, airports, hotel rooms, backyards, sidewalks, just about everywhere. Music for Mothers is a testament to how much waiting around you do while on the road. It was a very rough time for my family and I, and this record was my therapy. My mom is my biggest fan and she gave me the drive, confidence, and clarity to start and finish this album.

"I didn't want it to be completely selfish and personal though. I want this music to be for all mothers...for all families. I hope that it will inspire other people to make music for their mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. I was given the strength to push through and finish these songs, and I hope these songs give other people the drive to do the same. The drive to gain more knowledge and improve. If my family had not been there to motivate me, if my mom hadn't pushed me to learn other aspects of music, I would be sampling records and it wouldn't be as rewarding to me. Sampling records properly is an art form in itself, but i knew it wasn't for me. Instead, I learned to play a handful of instruments and because of that my music is all original and has a specific sound. This record is the sound of our household, the sound of our family."

Eureka the Butcher is a slayer of sound, chopping unique rhythms inspired by the Los Angeles Beat scene, joining some of the most influential beat musicians and incorporating electronic elements into the instrumentals he has always mastered.

Marcel was constantly surrounded by musical creativity as part of the Rodriguez-Lopez family of musicians and was invited by his brother Omar to join The Mars Volta on tour in 2003. He became a constant member of the band, contributing on keys and percussion to Volta as well as the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Group. Marcel is also a founding member of Zechs Marquise, starting out on keys and percussion and later switching to drums.

In an interview with Fusion Magazine, Marcel explained that his name "comes from the nature of editing; the Butcher part from cutting up sound, chopping up beats to make up new things; the Eureka part comes from when it all comes together." 

Music For Mothers will be available May 28th via Rodriguez Lopez Productions.

UK producer Sorrow announces album debut with free title track download (feat. CoMa)

British producer Sorrow announces his forthcoming debut album via esteemed London label Monotreme Records (65daysofstatic, Stumbleine.) The title track, "Dreamstone" features guest vocals by CoMa and is available to stream/download HERE.  Sorrow’s electronic, beats-driven music floats above the furthest reaches of ambient dubstep, propelled aloft by a dubbed out, sonorous garage hybrid of his own invention. A series of self-released tracks, remixes and EPs over the last two years, as well as collaborations with other artists (including Stumbleine, Asa and Submerse) have rapidly earned him a profile as one of the UK’s rising producers. True to his moniker, Sorrow’s music has an underlying current of melancholy, with mournful strings and piano and ghostly vocals, but he balances the mood artfully with head-bobbing beats and a wonky sense of humour that emerges unexpectedly here and there. Throughout the album, the lush strings and languid zig-zag beats of "Embrace" flow into the Bossa Nova lounge of "Maelys", which in turn yields to the darker, more experimental tones of "Supernova". From the chilled out ambience of "Dalliance", featuring the sultry guest vocals of CoMa, to the restless, more aggressive beats of "Intruder", Dreamstone works equally well for late night sonic explorations or laid-back Sunday mornings.  Dreamstone will be available in North America on deluxe 180-gram LP (free CD included), CD and download on June 11th, 2013 via Monotreme Records.

The residency tour, billed as "from the past, the present and through to the future" features Boris playing 2 consecutive nights in each city. For the first night, the band will perform its all-time classics along with many new songs never before played in the US. The second night's set features most of Boris' cult classic album Flood along with a noise/drone/experimental set. The additional one-off dates will combine all-time classics with part of Flood and other songs' US debut. Throughout the tour, Boris will once again perform in their classic trio lineup without any support musicians. Please see updated current dates below. Nearly all of the 2-show pass packages are already sold out in each market, but tickets for each individual night's performances are available while supplies last. Boris will also sell a limited edition tour-only release available only at the merch table.

Their last three albums -- Attention Please, Heavy Rocks and New Album, all released in 2011 via Sargent House -- are perfect testament to the band's vast abilities. Over the span of two decades, the trio, bassist/vocalist Takeshi, guitarist/vocalist Wata and drummer/vocalist Atsuo has issued nearly 20 studio albums, as well as numerous collaborative albums -- including projects with Merzbow, Sunn0))), Ian Astbury and Michio Kurihara of Ghost (who also recently toured with the band as second guitarist) -- EPs and singles on various labels throughout the world.  BORIS US TOUR 2013 04/23  San Diego, CA @ The Casbah % 04/24  Phoenix, AZ @ The Crescent Ballroom % 04/26  Denton, TX @ Rubber Gloves 04/27  Austin, TX @ Carson Creek - Austin Psych Fest 04/29  Atlanta, GA @ The Masquerade !! 04/30  Carrboro, NC @ Cat's Cradle !! 05/01  Washington DC @ Rock and Roll Hotel * !! 05/02  Washington DC @ Rock and Roll Hotel * # 05/03  Philadelphia, PA @ Theatre of Living Arts !! # 05/04  Allston, MA @ Brighton Music Hall * !! 05/05  Allston, MA @ Brighton Music Hall * (w/ Doomriders) 05/06  New York, NY @ Le Poisson Rouge * !! 05/07  New York, NY @ Le Poisson Rouge * # 05/09  Cleveland, OH @ Grog Shop !! 05/10  Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall * !! 05/11  Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall * & 05/12  St. Louis, MO @ Firebird & 05/13  Lincoln, NE @ Bourbon Theater & 05/14  Denver, CO @ Bluebird & 05/16  Mexico City, MX @ Lunario - Aural Festival 05/18  Seattle, WA @ The Crocodile * (w/ House of Low Culture) 05/19  Seattle, WA @ The Crocodile * (w/ drcarlsonbion) 05/21  San Francisco, CA @ Rickshaw Stop * (w/ Bosse-de-Nage) 05/22  San Francisco, CA @ Rickshaw Stop * ^^ 05/23  Los Angeles, CA @ The Echoplex * ^^ % 05/24  Los Angeles, CA @ The Echoplex * ^^ (also w/ Ides of Gemini) * residency shows % w/ Marriages !! w/ Young Widows # w/ Stephen Brodsky & w/ Pallbearer ^^ w/ Deafheaven

Ten Kens premiere new video via Tiny Mix Tapes, Fat Cat Recs vets third album out in May

Click image above to watch video

"Excellently skewed, arty rock, like Sonic Youth and Liars colliding." -- NME

Toronto based ethereal artrock group Ten Kens premiere a new video from the forthcoming International release of their third album, Namesame. The clip for the song "Gently Used" is presented by Tiny Mix Tapes. Watch video HERE.

Another video, "When A Door Opens" recently premiered via Consequence of Sound. Watch video HERE. The song is also available to stream/download HERE.

Two years after their acclaimed sophomore album, Ten Kens return with their most powerful and poignant record to date. The aptly titled Namesake moves the band away from their signature genre-bending dither, into a darkened psychedelic voyage of self-discovery. The 2013 International physical release of Namesake is an expanded special edition from an earlier digital-only album. This special edition includes 4 previously unreleased tracks recorded during the Namesake sessions and makes the album's first physical release.

The product of this vision is the result of an intense yearlong recording period. Masterfully engineered and produced by Ten Kens' own Brett Paulin and Dan Workman, the band utilized several different recording facilities to find the perfect balance of studio wizardry and natural resonance. A purified approach to songwriting enabled the band to design a sound specific to each individual story, and as is their custom, the band disappeared into complete isolation to keep their vision focused and devoid of any outside influence. It is this insidious exploration of sound, coupled with unremitting power, that makes Namesake such an immense and profound listen. At its core, it is the thinking man's heavy rock - an abstract art-piece constructed from the remains of decaying genres. Without delusion and with grounded ambition, Ten Kens present an epic auditory narrative of life, death, and all the sounds in-between.

Ten Kens is the brainchild of songwriting duo Brett Paulin and Dan Workman. Discovered by Fat Cat Records in 2006, Ten Kens became one of the first Canadian acts signed to the famed UK label. In 2013, after two celebrated releases on both Fat Cat and Last Gang Records, and several successful tours in-between, Ten Kens carry on their mission as the ever-evolving, genre-altering, sound and vision no-scene music collective.

Having built up a reputation as a fearsome live act, and having shared stages with such bands as A Place To Bury Strangers, No Age, Deerhoof, The Joy Formidable and Surfer Blood, Ten Kens are set to widen their remit for 2013 with US and European tours currently in the planning stages. Ten Kens' Namesake special edition will be available May 21st, 2013.

Tera Melos also launch extensive North American tour dates with Sargent House label mates, Britain's This Town Needs Guns (now simply called TTNG) this month. Along with Tera Melos supporting X'ed Out, TTNG promote their recent full length 13.0.0.0.0. Please see complete dates below and specific details (tickets, times, etc) for the shows HERE. Tera Melos also recently premiered songs from X'ed Out via Rolling Stone, Noisey and Pitchfork. The track "Tropic Lame" is available for streaming/sharing HERE and "Sunburn" is available HERE. Truly great art is that which can't be easily understood and dissected, but immediately resonates nonetheless. Tera Melos' new full length, X'ed Out is just that kind of adventure. The songs transcend in a way that makes you want to sit friends down to hear it, not only to share the experience, but perhaps in hopes that together you can create the world in which songs like this can be defined. It hits mental buttons and flicks internal switches that you never knew existed, while cleverly obscuring the technical precision for which the band has been known. It's remarkably multifaceted, incredibly catchy and perplexing to unravel exactly how it all works. "It's like visiting a friend who lives on the 14th floor of a building with no elevator, yet he has a grand piano in his apartment," explains bassist Nathan Latona. "How did he get it there? Was it carried up 14 flights of stairs, assembled on site or what? This record is the piano in the apartment with no elevator. We wanted to do all of the tricky stuff in a way that doesn't seem noticeable." X'ed Out is the culmination of an arc begun on Tera Melos' first proper full-length, Patagonian Rats (Sargent House, 2010) -- a supercollider of 60s pop hooks, Minutemen garage-prog, post-punk evisceration, wiry psychedelia and nearly everything else in-between. Here, the Sacramento based trio burns and simmers simultaneously while situated somewhere without benefit of location services. It's a nowhere land, X'ed Out of the grid, both inviting and daring.
