The Chicago/LA-based digital label Absent Fever has arrived in New York for the summer and that’s reason enough for a show. We’ve got a backyard lined up, and a line-up of friends set to fill it. Live visuals from Left Arm Single will backdrop performances by It is is rain in my face, Phantom Power, Headaches, Kohwi, and potentially anyone else who’d like to jam.
Thursday night, July 19th, in Bushwick (242 Troutman Street). More details and RSVP at FB. Hope to see you there.
and with our bare hands we turn to one another
reach below a universal line of sight
and lift our tent.

inquiring among orbiting planets
taking breath among foreign agents
forging a new magnetism of place.~ Noah Klein, FMLY
We are only two days away from the neighborhood-wide celebration of a community that circles the globe. FMLY FEST Brooklyn kicks off this Thursday at Mckibbin Park before expanding into various bedrooms, basements, rooftops, and backyards Friday and Saturday—each night closing at Shea Stadium.

Also, Noah expounded on the ideas reflected above in this excellent interview with PORTALS.
“The albums I lived in” was the basic thought that opened last year’s list of LPs. The same applies today, and the only idea to add is: colors. On S&S throughout 2011, you might have noticed a shift towards tweaked images or collages of sorts; it just happened, almost subconsciously, in an ongoing attempt to somehow get a hold of where this music can send us. So naturally that process continued, and escalated, when approaching this year’s favorites, and now here we are:
Our 2nd annual event, and first of its dimensional kind, went off with flying colors last Wednesday night. We’re very proud to have envisioned something different during CMJ, and we’re very thankful for all who chose to enter this evening with us. Much love to BriAnna and Nathaniel, all performers, and The End.
A closer look at its DNA can be had in this discussion with Nathaniel Whitcomb, here. And traces of what it left behind, are below:
