A true expansion upon previous releases, Prince Rama’s (@princerama2012) Trust Now represents the full creative output of the Larson sisters. With the departure of guitarist Mike Collins and the removal of traditional songs to augment the album, each track features solely material written by the duo. Though they received additional help from a percussionist and sound engineer, Trust Now is most definitely still a bold and very personal statement. [READ ON]
Each week, we designate the newest releases that are worth your attention. This edition features fearless females sharpening the talents of their own signature aesthetics. All three acts are by no means new to the scene, and these albums will solidify their relevancy for years to come. We’re also highlighting a collective project seeking to raise money for Oxfam. Great music and certainly a worthy cause! [READ ON]
I know I say this every week, but seriously everyone, this might be one of the best weeks of live music here in NYC in recent history. We have The Dodos, Cut Copy, Young Man, and Youth Lagoon in town plus multiple shows from Peter Bjorn and John. Enjoy the [READ ON]

Prince Rama’s new album, Shadow Temple, conjures Dionysian images of a hidden world of mystic revelers: a cultist’s temple, perhaps tucked neatly into an Indiana Jone’s flick, where acolytes communicate to astral devas through song and dance. And just in case you think I am trying to be florid, I use the term Dionysian in the strictest sense. The music of Prince Rama seems designed to dismantle ego and inhibition, pushing the listener up against the abyss of pure consciousness and their own shadow-selves. Let’s not forget that this is the band that used to hand out noise-makers to the audience and encourage yoga practice during their sets. Rama represents the vanguard of the new-age freak-core of psychedelic music. [READ ON]
