Spring succeeds

What better way to usher in the warm weather than with some swell tunes? Trevor and I have got you covered. Get ready for a lot of adjectives.

We started with the show's namesake, a gem from The Olivia Tremor Control's under-appreciated classic from 1996, Music from the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle. From there, we heard some Canadian indie jams from Montreal (Each Other) and Edmonton (Jom Comyn, Creaks). Our folk set included the frequently played Bill Callahan, the recently discovered Livingston, and the inimitable Gillian Welch. Some punkier stuff came next: from Mission of Burma's classic Vs., we entered the "Weatherbox," then heard Julie Doiron spill her lungs, and joined Thee Oh Sees for "AA warm breeze." Baltimore's Future Islands led us back to a more romantic perspective and Temples delivered a healthy dose of psych-rock before Victoria's Hush Pup took us on a weird trip through the desert.
