Similarly, Jordan’s music takes an organic approach with homemade beats (salt shakers, pots and pans), mangy, T-Rex Style guitar and lush pop vocals. Watch The Neistat Brothers Trailer for a peak into the show’s sonic landscape and be sure to watch the finale on July 30th to hear a couple of never-released tracks!

Pete Lyman of Infrasonic Sound and the guys of No Age have been busy tracking their upcoming full-length at the studio, set for release this Fall. EQ Magazine stopped by to have a chat about new sampling, re-amping and the smattering of boutique outboard gear Lyman used for the sessions.

Last on stage opening for Rufus Wainwright, Cibo Matto and Adam Green, Jordan Galland will perform on Friday, June 11th at Union Pool in Brooklyn. Also playing is Sean Lennon’s latest musical endeavor, The Ghost of a Saber Toothed Tiger. Doors open at 9pm, tickets are $10 and available at www.brownpapertickets.com. This show is 21+.

Galland will perform material from his debut solo album, Airbrush, and 2010 release Search Party, showcasing mangy guitar, colorful brass horns and a dreamy mix of pop vocal arrangements. Equal parts spooky rock & roll and saucy lounge act, Galland takes cues from the Talking Heads, Springsteen, Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg to name a few.

Prior to his two solo-releases, Galland was perhaps best known as front man for East Village rock band Dopo Yume (for which Lennon occasionally moonlighted on guitar) and songwriter/guitarist for Domino, the NYC based brainchild of Mark Ronson. Since then, he’s contributed tracks to Daniel Merriweather’s 2010 release Love & War (Allido Records), the motion picture soundtrack for 21 and Sean Lennon’s Capitol Records release, Friendly Fire. Most recently, Galland joined forces with Van and Casey Neistat, providing music for the brothers’ new HBO show, premiering this June. As if that weren’t enough, he also wrote and directed the feature film, Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Undead, starring Jake Hoffman and Devon Aoki, also premiering nationwide this June.

Off Central PR is quite excited to be working with The Gentle Guest on the release of their upcoming full-length Cast Off Your Human Form. Part of the Amble Down Records family, this Eau Claire, WI band will take you back to a time when music was listened to best with a bottle of moonshine in your hand. Then again, when is it ever not appropriate to listen to music with a bottle of moonshine in your hand?

Set for release on July 20, a handful of tracks from Cast Off Your Human Form are now streaming on the band’s MySpace page.

Jordan Galland was commissioned to create the music video for Mark Ronson’s latest single, “Circuit Breaker.” Described as the missing link between 80’s gaming soundtrack theater and modern DJ/synth tones, Jordan captures the vibe dead on by eliciting the power, and the legend, of Zelda.
