‘Tiny Rebels’ is a new collection of songs by The Cairo Gang. They are about awareness. They show a new economy in the work of The Cairo Gang’s leader Emmett Kelly, conjuring up quick and defined songs un-housed in the shimmering of two burning electric 12-string guitars. the sound of them a swirling desert night sky under which songs call to arms multiple voices that long to be freed from the contraints of song. to be re-blooded in a frenzy of hard hitting drums and bass. all the while set against a wild array of compressed overtones that jangle by the hand of Kelly’s inversly delicate touch.

Brooklyn’s Columboid Release Their Sophomore Full-Length “Monster Vision” Out June 18 on La Société Expéditionnaire!
Watch & Share their video for “Juicy Mode” Premiered On Selective Memory Yesterday! http://riotactmedia.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=252b821bb623c0544fd0dfc64&id=173c4ef579&e=e5ec83b040  
Premiered just yesterday, Columboid’s “Juicy Mode” video, directed by Jorge Torres-Torres, takes an unexpected turn as the video progresses, a result of the collaboration between graphic artist Alejandro Bruzzese and the 3D animation of Columboid’s own Neil Benjamin (drums, vocals). As Benjamin explained to Selective Memory, “Jorge (the director) is kind of a genius/crazy person when it comes to music videos. He’s always on the same visual wavelength as our music, and he is able to balance dark elements with subtle joy without a hint of irony.”
Watch their captivating new video and see what emerges first hand at the link above and let me know if you would like an advance of Columboid’s forthcoming LP “Monster Vision,” out June 18th on La Société Expéditionnaire!

About Columboid:
Monster Vision is Columboid’s sophomore full-length, the second LP recorded for eclectic label La Société Expéditionnaire. The Brooklyn band’s brooding 2010 debut, “We Were One,” was met with with accolades and comparisons to early Nick Cave / Joy Division. With Monster Vision, they elaborate on their trademark sound of short dirty minimalist keys, but steeped in maturity and driven down darker roads. Ryan Hamilton (vocals, keys, guitar, synth-sax) and Russell Higbee (bass) have conjured the spooky and meandering stylings of their earlier work in Coyote (Birdman Records).  Mainstay drummer Neil Benjamin (drums, vocals) continues to provide signature throbbing beats while keyboardist Julie Noyce rounds out the record, tracked and produced by Mike Kutchman (of Bad Animal fame) at Kutch 1 in Brooklyn.
Hamilton becomes the pied-piper of far-outness with the addition the most shamefully under-used instrument in independent rock: the synth-sax. It’s a vehicle from which he pays homage to Jazz heavyweight Tommy Hamilton, and yes, the title says it all: “Dad’s Gonna Be Proud”.
For their 2013 Monster Vision live lineup, Hamilton and Benjamin opt for a trio, joined by Patrick “Perm” Brady, a Myrtle Beach, SC native who shares the Columboidian passion for strangeness. They now have two self-recorded cassette EPs and two full-length studio albums to their credit, a US tour, and a slew of Doors and Kate Bush (True) comparisons to go with them.
Previous Press:
“A dark, moody record that carefully slinks through percussion-heavy, keyboard-driven pop and rock balladry ..” OMG Vinyl
“As much as they tap into goth brooding with those haunting keys, it’s when you can hear the specter of clashing rock and roll that the band is at their most compelling.” Pop Matters

Distractions, is a quirky and soulful landscape of songs centered around the friendship of two offbeat characters who become entangled in the distractions of love. This is the story—and debut—of artist, John Nagle, and producer, Nahneen Kula.

Right before they met, John unwittingly discovered Nahneen’s home-made recordings online and was immediately captivated by her voice which is featured all across the album. John’s guitar driven grooves and breathy vocals are complimented by her electronic embellishments.

In recent years both John and Nahneen had suddenly lost their fathers. A precarious time in both their lives they entertained and inspirited one another. The song that sparked the entire album, Unbrella, is a memorial inspired by a heart-to-heart they shared on the irony of beautiful weather on days of utter sorrow.

The album as a whole reflects their peculiar sense of humor and the light heartedness of their relationship. In jests of their days together emerged imaginary creatures of which Nagle first illustrated in acrylic paintings as gifts to Nahneen. They have become the official mascots of the album and have snuck their way into the soundtrack—some of which are also featured on the cover: a shrimp that awkwardly floats about outer-space and a fish that flies through the air in a lustful search for bun like objects, better known as the bunfish.

Not all romances last for ever but then again not all romances end with lasting friendship—and still, not all romances become a musical collaboration. The last few tracks are revealing of this time when the zany boy and precocious girl end their love affair. Finally, as friends they set out to create Distractions.
