--- - |- On their third album, Motion To Rejoin, back-to-nature somnambulists Brightblack Morning Light have honed their already tight, dark, soulful atmospherics. Somehow even more subtly layered than 2006's self-titled astral-projecting slumber party, it feels like the songs were birthed whole, not cobbled together by Brightblack main-minds Naybob Shineywater and Rachael Hughes with warm v...

First let me say that I miss Muxtape and Mixwit. Record companies are eff'ing idiots, and any time I think that I would want to be a lawyer for one I quickly recall that it would be a bummer to be on the wrong side of history despite any skillful training. All I want to do is post an internet mix.Does anyone know if you can still make MOG playlists? I seem to remember that feature somewhere in ...

Here it is, childrens, the tenth day of 2007. "How is 2007 going?" you ask. "Fine," I say, "but I need some new music to ring in the year."2006 was Brightblack Morning Light and Joanna Newsom. Nonetheless I am not really a freak folkster. So now I need something with bass lines!Can anyone help me?

It was a couple of weeks ago, in the morning, and I was snoozing, just about to wake up. I fell into a dream, one of those warm muddy dreams... and an image came to me.Specifically, the Brightblack Morning Milk Truck. It was driving by through the yellow haze of a summer morning, and birds were chirping and the world was beautiful.When I woke up, I said to myself, "Hum." I'd heard of Brightblac...

According to 'The Village Voice' BrightBlack Morning Light has released the best indie-rock album of the year.I've checked it out...and can't turn it off. It is the kind of backround music that has the potential to remain in the rotation for a long, long time.The blunted, hazy, funk induced rhythms are just doing it for me....its mood music. Check the "BAND":http://www.thebrightblackmorningli...

On Tuesday I got back to California from relative musical obscurity (also known as Western Europe). Aside from the random instance of hearing an apartment in the tiny residential area of Venice play "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley on repeat, I've been completely out of touch with what's going on with music for the past month. However, since I've returned I've been seeing mentions in blogs and artic...

Just saw one of the best shows of the year at the First Unitarian Church in Philly this past Sunday (June 25th, '06)... Brightblack Morning Light played with my good friends, Espers (and Mairee Sioux opening). Those guys were tapping into some powerful vibes. Two drum kits, guitar, Fender Rhodes and super processed vocals... They got into a heavy groove for the packed, sweaty house. Super me...

--- - |- Gather round, all you cinnamon gals and mellow fellows: Brother Nabob and Sister Rabob have got something new to lay on you. Brightblack Morning Light-- the slippery, stoney, bluesy slowcore duo of Nathan "Nabob" Shineywater and Rachael "Rabob" Hughes-- have jammed out their follow-up to their 2006 self-titled breakthrough. This one's called Motion to Rejoin, it retains much of the s...

My favorite received gift this holiday was the Brightblack Morning Light record. I was especially excited about the little sheet that came with the record that tells you how to download the mp3s. "The best of both worlds!" I thought.A couple of weeks ago I took said sheet out, placed it by my computer, and walked away. This was a bad idea, because it's gone now, and I can't find it anywhere....
