Silver Jackson – It’s Glimmering Now

nick — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 23:50:50 +0000

In the past, Silver Jackson has served as an outlet for Galanin’s bluesier, folksier side, but the eclectic collection found on “It’s Glimmering Now” is nearly impossible to peg. There’s a long list of collaborators, which includes Seattle producer Psmoov, Rhymesayer’s Budo, members of Little Wings and Breathe Owl Breathe and many more. The old rustic qualities are still there, but the album takes a lot left-hand turns sonically. There are open and spacey moments, shades of hip-hop, singer/songwriting-leaning numbers and impressionistic washes of sound like the title track. Read more here

and from The Stranger -
Sitka, Alaska, a town just south of Juneau, is the home of the indie label Home Skillet Records. And Home Skillet Records recently released a gem by Silver Jackson (the artist/singer/musician Nicholas Galanin). A mix of eerie blues, twisted folk, and experimental hiphop, Glimmering includes production from two bright stars in Seattle’s hiphop galaxy, P Smoov (Fresh Espresso, Mad Rad) and OC Notes (Metal Chocolates), and vocal contributions from Reva DeVito (you can also find her on Dark Time Sunshine’s Vessel, a record you should also buy during this spending season). A bonus: Glimmering does tap into a stream of Native American spirituality. CHARLES MUDEDE

Rest in Paradise Eyedea…Michael Larsen

nick — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 23:02:45 +0000

Tragic news came to us over the weekend: St. Paul. Minn., rapper Eyedea, born Michael Larsen, died Saturday. He was 28.Known to independent hip-hop fans worldwide for his rapid-fire delivery and celebrated locally as one of many stars on the Rhymesayers roster, Eyedea was also a respected freestyle battle champion, winning top honors at competitions such as HBO’s “Blaze Battle” and Ohio’s “Scribble Jam.” At 18, Eyedea was already a part of Minnesota’s thriving hip-hop scene as a hypeman for the city’s most popular act, Atmosphere.No cause of death has been announced yet. We were lucky to have Eyedea on a Homeskillet project working alongside Homeskillet artist Phonetic.

Get this unreleased project free here.

Jack Ruby Presents “Over Wires and White Plains”

nick — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 01:23:13 +0000

Jack Ruby Presents will release their debut full-length album, “Over Wires and White Plains”, at a free show on May 15at 9 PM in the lounge at the Hawthorne Theater with guests Pine Language!

The album was recorded in January and February in Salem and is the product of two years of refining since the band released their acoustic “Cardboard EP”.

Chris Hernandez, Melissa Davaz, Aaron Owens, and Jesse Hughey love music. Well read backwoods children of the 90’s, they come from operatic punk and indie jazz schooling citing influences as far reaching as Charles Mingus, Connor Oberst, Point Juncture, WA, and Uncle Tupelo. Their music hints at years spent inside of headphones and in the back corner of record stores; their outfits speak of romantic dreams of crosscut saws. Hailing from the northwest coast from Alaska, Oregon and Montana, the band formed in the Willamette Valley in 2007. In 2008 they recorded a 5 track acoustic EP which was packaged in duct tape, hello my name is stickers, and cereal box sleeves.

JRP signed to independent Alaskan label Home Skillet Records in the spring of 2008.

In January of 2010, after a few years of refinement and shows everywhere between San Francisco and Southeast Alaska, the band moved into the studio to record a full-length album showcasing their developed sound. The resulting album, entitled “Over Wires and White Plains” will be released in Portland on May 15^th.
