Two new movies signed R. Alverson, Jagjaguwar
Sometimes when I need input musically, I go to the record labels that I like, maybe they've singned a new artist or they've got someone in their stall that I've missed.
This morning i checked out JAGJAGUWAR which I love for artists like Bon Iver, Lightning Dust and Okkervil River just to metion a few. But this time, what I found was the director R. Alverson.
Alverson recently directed 2 movies under JAGJAGUWAR, The Builder, starring Colm O'Leary and New Jerusalem starring Colm O'Leary and Will Oldham (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy).
Synopsis: Following an Irish immigrant carpenter from coastal Queens to the Catskills and beyond, THE BUILDER is an american existential portrait that explores the gulf between the idea of a thing and the thing itself. Having set off to the New York countryside to construct a reproduction of the earliest of american cape houses, the protagonist (Colm O’Leary) finds himself overcome by an inexplicable fatigue. Debts and expectations mount alongside the crudest and most naive of deceptions, that of both self and of family. As the chasm grows the Builder finds himself confronted by the unnerving ambivalence of the world around him.
Synopsis: A meditation on friendship, human needs and frailty, New Jerusalem explores the allure and limitations of modern utopean belief. Sean (Colm O’leary), an irish immigrant to America, returning from a non-combat tour of duty in Afghanistan, finds his heart and mind in disarray. He befriends Ike (Will Oldham a.k.a Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy), a strong willed evangelical, who endeavord to ensure his salvation. Inundated by a relentless fragility, Sean is confronted by a choice between the temptation of certainty and tha chaos of the world around him.

This love is over
Ok, so today I got my act together and listened to Ray LaMontages new album Good Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise, which is accompanied by the Pariah Dogs.
It's a pretty decent album but im sorry to say that it won't turn into a favourite. Though, there are some really nice tracks on it. Right now, this is my favourite.

Phosphorescent @ Debaser Slussen
Last night Phosphorescent did an awesome gig at Debaser Slussen in Stockholm. I missed when he played in Gothenburg for like one or two years ago so I've really been waiting for him to come to Sweden again.
Anyways, I even had a chance to talk to Matthew after the show. As usual I made a fool out of myself. During our chat, the following conversation took place.
- So, how do you like Sweden so far? (Me)
- Well, it's good. We had to take all our clothes of to get through customs though... (Matthew)
- Good for you! One should take all the chances one gets to get naked.
Below a video I recorded with my cellphone, suprisingly good sound:
