Bread + butter

Yet, for the last several years, the medium has been thriving on the Internet. And LAMAR+NIK — two twenty-somethings from Oklahoma City — are arguably the scene’s fastest rising talents. “I feel like there are two different types of filmmakers: people who want to make artistic stuff and people who want to make money,” Jesse […]

Fablecar — Fablecar

“Diamond Slice” sounds like a song that Pink Floyd would have written in 1999, had the band been recording then, thanks to a “Money”-inspired groove. The following anthem, “Threes,” hits more in line with Interpol — or, maybe more appropriately, Joy Division. With the ease that it’s executed, I can only imagine this is where […]

Dead alive

Costa Stasinopoulos, record producer and leader of Tulsa alt-rockers Dead Sea Choir, has had a pretty rough month. Someone broke into his car on Jan. 15, taking a friend’s guitar and a pair of hard drives containing yet-to-be finished records.

Yorn free

There’s a neat duality to Jersey rocker Pete Yorn’s latest tour, which makes a stop on Sunday in Oklahoma City. As is standard, the tour is in support of an album, but in Yorn’s case, it’s two: last year’s self-titled release and a reissue of “musicforthemorningafter,” the debut that led him to this point. The […]

Imperial unit

Norman’s Crown Imperial is a no-name, lo-fi, indie-pop band. Or at least it was for its first show. The group was born as a side project of garage rockers The Mean Spirits, and it had a gig at The HiLo before it had a moniker. “The Mean Spirits were playing a show, and we had […]
