Mark Van Hoen @ Monkeytown, Friday, August 14th\\
13.8.09
Mark Van Hoen is the man, straight up. He's a legend and we're very pleased to be involved with this show at Monkeytown tomorrow night. Don't know who he is? He's a founding member of the highly influential band Seefeel. He formed the underated and sadly over looked band Scala (which was essentially Seefeel sans Mark Clifford). He's put out some amazing records in his own right, as Locust and Mark Van Hoen. He produced Out Of Tune, Excuses for Travelers, and Spoon and Rafter by Mojave 3. He produced both albums for Emma Anderson's post Lush outfit, Sing-Sing. And that's just the tip of the iceburg....
His new record is due early next year.
also on the bill are LMG favorites Dead Leaf Echo and Luxa.
this is going to be a solid night.
we hope you can join us for what will surely be an amazing show.

The LMG Monthy kicks off this Thursday (4/23)
21.4.09
things kick off this thursday with a the sharp little 2 band bill of Luxa and Telltale.
Telltale...
Brooklyn’s Telltale showcases an intriguing mix of experimental no-wave, reverb-soaked post-punk, and dark shoegaze. Featuring Eric Gilstrap, Laurie Ruroden, Stephan Cherkashin, and Lauren Andino, the quartet's ear-splitting washes of guitar feedback, deadpan chants and ominous droning wastelands doesn't so much blanket you as it does envelop you, overpowering you with Sonic Youth caterwauls and JAMC-esque walls of sound. The music churns in a slow burn, awash in effects, but there’s an aggression lurking just beneath the surface that maintains an uneasy atmosphere. There’s also a healthy dose of reverb to help wash down all the gauzy noise... "This will destroy you... and you will love every second of it." -The Free Times
Luxa
Luxa has a dim relation to the newer offshoot genres of shoegaze, but enters greater landscapes with a volatile adventurism and a new kind of dynamism in its swirling beauty. raw and tender. complex and simple. consumable and out of reach.
doors at 7PM show starts at 8
coming up at The LMG Monthly
May 21st
Aarktica, Luxa, Millimetrik + more

Album of the Day...Playing With Time-Mark Van Hoen
18.12.08
allmusic.com review by james mason
One of the more underappreciated artists in the British electronica scene, Mark Van Hoen states his case for the defense of the genre with Playing With Time. Firmly in the late-'90s lush-ambient sound (that he helped establish through his work with Seefeel, Scala, and Locust), the album is a collection of generally short tracks (all but two under five minutes), each with a distinct mood. Perfectly sequenced, the album begins with "Real Love," featuring the heavily processed vocals of Holli Ashton (who appeared on Locust's Morning Light album) over a sparse dark ambient background, highly reminiscent of early Seefeel. While not continuously mixed, the tracks have distinct ebb and flow between them, carrying one over to another while simultaneously having distinct beginnings and endings. An ambient piece will be followed by a more beat-oriented track, and then something in between. The album closes with a majestic trilogy, "When Tomorrow Comes," "Love Is All" and an unnamed track. "Tomorrow" is a majestic keyboard / faux-orchestral piece, and fades seamlessly into "Love Is All," the other track on the record with vocals, this time from Lisa Millet. Van Hoen treats the vocal with heavy echo, delay, and other DSP effects to weave a tapestry of true subtle, shimmering beauty. The untitled closing track places the listener in ambient territory staked out decades previous by Brian Eno. Composed of several simple piano loops and a simple electronic bassline, the track is set in motion and allows the loops to play off and against each other over the course of its 30 minutes. This is a good album for newcomers to electronic music, as it is melodic, danceable, and chilled out, all in the space of 78 minutes.
