Getting comfy with Giraffage

by Tron on May 21, 2012No Comments

Giraffage (aka Charlie Yin) is a producer out of Cupertino (assuming you’re here by accident looking for an interview with a giraffe or something) who has a gift for making densely-layered ambient/chill-out electronica. He was...

"The preparation is in NOT preparing. Since I am alone, controlling all of the instruments, myself, I find it more liberating to never practice and not make set-lists, etc... To not adhere to any particular set of expectations. It's more fun. The downside is that when I break the band...

Ryan Solomon: The smartest Dude in the room

by Tron on Apr 11, 20122 Comments
This is by far the most satisfying interview I have ever done. I had the privilege to correspond with Ryan Solomon of San Diego’s DUDES. Trying to label his work at all is pointless. At times it reminds me of Air France, or Animal Collective, or Neon Indian, or even Wise Blood....

Victoria Legrand’s Hair at Freebird Live: A Beach House Review

by Michaela Gugliotta on May 22, 2012 No Comments
I should have wrote about Beach House the night I saw them, but I was so mesmerized by them that I couldn't do anything that involved thinking afterwards. Just kidding, kind of.

Youth Lagoon at The Social 3/21

by Michaela Gugliotta on Mar 28, 2012 2 Comments
If you’ve read my introduction post, you’d know that Youth Lagoon’s The Year Of Hibernation, is an album that I have great admiration for. Being that the album is one of my favorites, I put away any sorrow that I had and decided to fully enjoy Youth Lagoon’s imaginative, nostalgic set. The show took place in a venue called...

Holding onto the chair for dear life, lest he be sucked into the green cosmos, Errett Goff inhaled the rapture of the Radiohead concert. Life would go on, much as it has this past age, but something would be different.

Distracted: A moment with Yellow Ostrich’s Alex Schaaf

by Tron on Feb 14, 2012 No Comments
Synconation had the opportunity to speak with Alex Schaaf of Yellow Ostrich, a great indie rock band originally from Wisconsin transplanted to NYC. He’s quickly gaining visibility, as we went through two different managers to eventually reach him and he sounds too busy to respond altogether. Forgivable though, as he’s about to embark on a lengthy tour...

He’s Nobody’s Dave Matthews – A Review of Mason Jennings’ Performance at Jack Rabbit’s

by Paul Chapman on Feb 7, 2012 No Comments
Mason Jennings is EASILY the most underrated songwriter in the last decade. It may be easy to understand why so many people have passed him over. Early on, he was adopted by the same community of bros and neo-hippies that define the base of the Jack Johnsons, the Dave Matthews, and the OG Bonnaroos—but that is, quite...
