Karikatura Debuts With Eyes Wide June 3rd

This June, Karikatura will release its debut full-length album, Eyes Wide, recorded to analog tape at Mighty Toad Studios and mixed at Strangeweather Studios by creative luminary Daniel Schlett (Bob Dylan,Yeasayer, Rita Indiana). The music on the album is as diverse as the backgrounds and life-experiences of the band-members; each member contributed songs to the album, expressing his personal vision, and the band shaped the music collectively. They write songs the way a storyteller crafts tales, exploring universal themes through personal experiences. Eyes Wide is also a covert tribute to New York City, where the band spent a year of relative stasis and creative hibernation after three consecutive years of touring.

Malka Spigel’s Gilding EP Released

Malka Spigel’s new EP Gliding is out today on Swim. The EP is streaming in full at The Quietus and is available now on iTunes. The Quietus said the EP, “is a four-tracker with a knowingly accurate title: shoegaze with its abrasion bevelled off, washes and spasms of guitar and choral synth with Spigel’s mesmeric vocals and rolling, driving bass at the center.” Earlier this spring, The AV Club premiered the video “Tall Grey Buildings” from the EP. The video was created by Eric Scott and is made up of trippy kaleidoscopic and time-lapse sequences shot around LA and London last year, visually inspired by Malka Spigel’s richly colorful Lomo stills which can be seen here. “Tall Grey Buildings” is also streaming and available to share via SoundCloud.
