CMJ 2014 Recap

Wow!! The crazy busy CMJ week is finally behind us, which resulted in piles of dirty laundry around the house, empty fridge with a box of baking soda mischievously staring at you and a layer of city dust evenly covering surface of your entire apartment.

But despite a minor disturbance of my house routine, I had an absolutely fantastic time catching some inspiring performances and meeting new people from all over!

Tuesday, October 21st

Absolutely unforgettable performance by Oh Land @ Bowery Ballroom


Wednesday, October 22nd

Epic abstract fable-rock - clash of medieval and futuristic from San Fermin @ Webster Hall


Thursday, October 23rd

Light-Minutes Away had a fantastic showcase at Matchless!! All the bands, the audience, the venue and the sound collaborated on an absolutely new level  - it was an all-embracing experience!!!!

Carbon Mirage, Satorii, Olya, Swampa_ZZ and Letters to Nepal


Friday, October 24th

So natural at her gadgetry, Kawehi packed Rockwood MusicHall to the ceiling

Letters to Nepal Releases New Dance Single "Think About It"

Letters to Nepal, a Brooklyn-based ambient-pop band known for its atmospheric progressive synths and serene vocals, is stepping outside of its common sound with its new indie dance tune Think About It.

Starting with the dreamy soundscape, it may fool you into thinking you are about to be carried away by another meditative composition of Letters to Nepal. But instead, as the intro fades away, it prompts you to dance and doesn't let go until the very last chord. Check for yourself!

Letters to Nepal will be playing a CMJ show as a part of Light-Minutes Away Showcase on October 23 at Bar Matchless.

Great reviews by Enobo.us on SATORII and OLYA after their Matchless show!

Last week at Bar Matchless a rather intriguing couple entered the showroom in the back of the club to catch Satorii's and Olya's performances. We chatted in between the sets and at the end of the night, touching upon numerous topics: music, background, inspiration, influences. Just a few days after the Labor Day weekend, I woke up to these two very heartfelt articles on Elke and Oliver's blog Enobo.us. Check it out!!!!
