MP3: Talkdemonic - March Movement Golly, I knew Talkdemonic had a new record coming out, but TOMORROW?! What a slacker I've been! I have not heard the album itself but I have heard the song I am posting today, "March Movement", a sprawling work of beauty that hits all of the right notes and emotions (as usual ); they find a way to make strings more awesome and to make banjo an instrument wi...

I'll admit it, it takes a lot for me to stay interested in some types of instrumental music. There has to be a clever blend of spices, musical skill, emotional movement, and some form of catchiness to catch my ear. The Oregon duo Talkdemonic succeed with a mesmerizing blend of sounds on their recently released [...]

"March Movement" is a fair name for the first one from Talkdemonic's third LP. It's an instrumental (save a few vocal moans), maintaining its melodic core, trading programmed beats here for acoustic beats there. There's a gait flip, marching then loping, while Kevin O'Connor plucks banjos underneath his beats and Lisa Molinaro bows strings over top. Compositionally it's simple -- again the move...

Seeing Talkdemonic play at Mississippi Studios gave me my first chance to visit the venue, which has had a lot of buzz around it after making a move to a bigger space and revamping their image in the aftermath of a tough legal battle. Despite many past setbacks, this has got to be one of the best places in Portland to see live music.The venue has a capacity of 300, a great improvement from its ...
