"I had this overwhelming feeling that perhaps the apex of my life both as a musician and as an individual would be relegated to five years in my late teens/early 20s," says Omori, who was launched into the music industry when the Smith Westerns, who started in high school in Chicago, became fast-rising indie stars. "This fear really forced me to work hard as to not see the Smith Westerns as an end but as a point along a bigger trajectory."
While New Misery grew out of a difficult personal and professional time for Omori, he says the title reflects "not so much the distress that comes with failure, but the troubles and complexities that come with any type of success. No matter what you get you're going to want more, you're going to want something different. That's the catch."
The title track is a dreamy, resonant reflection on these feelings, but is also a guidepost for Omori's musical evolution. "The song starts slow and then builds with two solos," he says. "There's the guitar solo which is very much a Smith Westerns thing. The next solo is on the keyboard, which is a shift to a lot of what I'm trying to do." Synths play a much larger role in Omori's new music than in the Smith Westerns' guitar-fueled rock, as do a wide range of influences including Roxy Music, INXS, Spiritualized, Wilco, Garbage, Hall & Oates, Kate Bush, U2, and Sparks. There's also a more deliberate pop streak, inspired by the top-40 radio that would play while Omori worked at a medical supply company cleaning stretchers and wheelchairs.
"There is so much dirt in hospitals and fuzz and lint and dried blood on these things. We'd clean them down, which in a way is kind of therapeutic, and listen to the radio. Then we'd go back to Adam's (Adam Gil, current live band member) house and record demos for what was to become the skeleton of New Misery. I can't sit down and say I'm going to write a Sam Smith or an Adele song or whatever. The closest I can get to that is making like this weird hybrid of what I think is a pop song." The strongest example of this is the new wave-tinged single "Cinnamon," which Omori describes as "dark pop--it's poppy, it's fast, but it also has all the colors and tones that are kind of dark. It's self-deprecating, which was kind of where I was at emotionally. That, you know, I could have this poppy song or whatever but I don't think I'm a pop star. I'm closer to thinking I'm a piece of shit than I am a pop star."
Along with Omori, New Misery features additional bass and keyboards from Ryan Mattos, drums from Loren Humphrey, and James Richardson on guitar. But unlike with the more distributed roles within the Smith Westerns, Omori wrote, played, and oversaw nearly every part of the new album, beginning a true new chapter of his long-term creative growth.
"People would be like, 'Oh man, your band is doing really well. I saw you on the internet.' But seeing you on the internet isn't equivalent with making hundreds let alone thousands of dollars or being really successful. When I was younger I believed that happiness came from success and now that I'm older, more seasoned I find myself believing that stability over a long time is also its own type of success. I came out of Smith Westerns at 25 with no real job experience, I only knew how to play music. Writing and recording these songs for myself was cathartic, and I didn't know my destination or future, but picking up my guitar and playing was the only way I knew I'd get close to figuring it out."
Living Hour contributed two songs to Family Portrait II, a vinyl compilation put out by Art is Hard Records (Bristol/London) in April 2015, and released a super limited edition cassette of their debut s/t album with Tree Machine Records (Bloomington) that same month. The band will release their debut album world-wide with Lefse Records (Portland) on February 19, 2016.

One of the first Swedish rappers to break across the globe, Yung Lean kicked off his career with the Sad Boys, a crew with a name that reflected the melancholic nature of Lean's music. Born Jonatan Leandoer Håstad, Lean was 16 when he joined producers Yung Gud and Yung Sherman in the Sad Boys around 2012. A year later the crew was releasing tracks under Yung Lean's name, including "Ginseng Strip 2002," which earned two million views after it became a viral hit. The Unknown Death 2002 mixtape landed that same year along with the Lavender EP, which gave "Ginseng Strip 2002" an official release. His Unknown Memory album followed in 2014 and was supported by a tour of Europe and North America. A year later he cut the "Crystal Clear Ice" single for the Adult Swim label.

Melanie Flood Projects presents Indifferent Horizons, a solo exhibition of new work by Teresa Christiansen exploring the perception of space in photographic depiction. In addition, we are pleased to host a discussion on contemporary photography with the artist and Dr. Julia Dolan, the Minor White Curator of Photography at the Portland Art Museum.
Christiansen works with photographs she takes of elements of the natural world to point to our complex relationship to it, approaching landscape as the organization of space. The pieces in this exhibition draw their titles from Robert Smithson’s photographic essays “Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan” (1969) and “A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey” (1967), both published in Artforum. Through his writing and the photographs that accompanied each essay, Smithson asserted his subjectivity and active experience of the places he explored. He used the camera as a way to question the conventional representations of a “closed landscape,” in which a point of view is based on intentional boundaries, defining “a self-sustaining autonomous limit within a containing framework...that excludes breaks or interruptions.” On the other hand, he wrote, the “open landscape…embodies multiple views, some of which are contradictory, whose purpose is to reveal a clash of angles and orders within a sense of simultaneity.”[i]
Indifferent Horizons responds to photographic representations of landscape, and is rooted in Smithson’s concept of the “open landscape.” Christiansen combines and mutates photographic prints to mirror the way the camera acts as a mediator of experience. Cuts, rips and folds in the printed surface disrupt the continuity and deconstruct the solidity of the landscapes depicted. By juxtaposing views of opposing places, she invents an impossible space that embraces a dichotomy of simultaneous depth and flatness. These interventions break the photographic illusion of transparency through an insistence on physical presence and tangible form.
Indifferent Horizons is the third in an ongoing artist series at Melanie Flood Projects, Thinking through Photography, an exploration of artists working with photography today. The series includes a comprehensive survey of contemporary photographic practices through programming that highlights experimental and diverse approaches to image making. Facilitated by exhibitions, artist talks, studio visits, interviews, and suggested readings which aim to expand the language surrounding photography, while also unveiling progressive work by local artists in the Pacific Northwest & beyond.
Teresa Christiansen was born and raised in New York, NY and currently lives in Portland, OR where she is an Assistant Professor at Pacific Northwest College of Art. Teresa received her MFA in photographic studies from ICP-Bard in 2008, and worked as an Assistant Photographer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for nine years. She has exhibited her work nationally, including New York, Philadelphia, Portland, and Los Angeles. Most recently she has shown work at Aperture Gallery and chashama in NYC, The Art Gym at Marylhurst University, Newspace Center for Photography in Portland, and in the Philadelphia Photo Art Center’s Annual Exhibition. She was a 2007 winner of PDN Photo Annual, a 2013 Regional Arts & Culture Council grant recipient and a summer 2014 Wassaic Artist Resident.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
No country incarcerates a higher percentage of its population than the United States. More than 2.2 million people are currently locked up in the U.S.—a number that has more than quadrupled since 1980. But sadly, the lives lived behind bars are all too often invisible to those on the outside. Prison Obscura, curated by Pete Brook, sheds light on such experiences and the prison-industrial complex as a whole by showcasing rarely seen surveillance, evidentiary, and prisoner-made photographs. The exhibition encourages visitors to ask why tax-paying, prison-funding citizens rarely get the chance to see such images, and what roles such pictures play for those within the system.
Alyse Emdur’s prison visiting room portraits from across the nation and Robert Gumpert’s recorded audio stories from within the San Francisco jail system provide an opportunity to see, read, and listen to subjects in the contexts of their incarceration. Juvenile and adult prisoners in different workshops led by Steve Davis, Mark Strandquist, and Kristen S. Wilkins perform for the camera, reflect on their past, describe their memories, and self-represent through photographs. The exhibition moves between these intimate portrayals of life within the prison system to more expansive views of legal and spatial surveillance in Josh Begley’s manipulation of Google Maps’ API code and Paul Rucker’s animated video. Prison Obscura builds the case that Americans must come face-to-face with these images to grasp the proliferation of the U.S. prison system and to connect with those it confines.

In the tradition of the open mics at the old Cafe Lena, or the spoken-word happenings at the Jasmine Tree Tiki Lounge, the Hour That Stretches is a cross-genre spoken word event with nearly three years under its belt, a rabidly loyal audience and a constantly-evolving roster of fresh talent from many scenes. Pushcart Prize-nominated author Edward R. Morris and several filthy assistants, including Witch Mountain drummer Nathan Carson, scour many literary scenes for the best of the best and bring them to the Hour stage. The setup is live, intimate and loud, and audience members have called it, "an authentic Portland experience."
The Hour That Stretches began at the Jade Lounge, moved to the Hawthorne Theatre and has now found a more permanent home at the Lovecraft Bar every First Friday. Details here:

Over the past four years, North-East siblings Peter and David Brewis have threaded their way through one extra-curricular project after another but were inevitably drawn back to working together on theirown songs. "As much fun as we might have had on our own or collaborating, we missed just spending time in the studio, the two of us, trying things out and playing together." explains David. The space that Field Music vacated in those four years still appears to be empty. No one else really does what Field Music do: the interweaving vocals, the rhythmic gear changes, the slightly off-chords, but with the sensibility that keeps them within touching distance of pop music. But with Commontime, FieldMusic show off their unashamed love of choruses in a way they’ve only hinted at before. Written and recorded in spontaneous bursts over six months in their Wearside studio, Commontime is built around the brothers playing and singing together again, but also features a wider array of players, including original Field Music keyboardist Andrew Moore, Peter's wife Jennie Brewis and new member of the live band Liz Corney on vocals, plus a panoply of other players. “We wanted to embrace being a duo and, perversely, that made us feel more comfortable about all of those conspicuous cameos” reveals David. Over the fourteen songs of Commontime, real life conversations are replayed, acquaintances come and go, hard won friendships are left to drift and diffuse snap shots of the everyday are pulled together into what must rank amongst Field Music’s best works to date.
Its existence having been revealed to the world via a one-two punch of an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and exclusive profile in The New York Times, it can now be announced that Iggy Pop’s new album Post Pop Depression (Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International) will be supported by a very limited run of one-time-only live performances in specially selected venues. tour will mark the sole occasion that the album lineup of Iggy, producer/guitarist/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/bandleader Joshua Homme, Homme’s Queens Of The Stone Age bandmate and Dead Weather-man Dean Fertita and Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders—augmented by QOTSA multi-instrumentalist Troy Van Leeuwen and journeyman guitarist/bassist Matt Sweeney—will perform this material, as well as classics spanning Iggy’s legendary solo career, in a live setting.The Post Pop Depression
In the wake of The Late Show debut and release of first single "Gardenia" and the Post Pop Depression pre-order going live, a second advance track "Break Into Your Heart" has been premiered. Both tracks will be delivered instantly with pre-order from iTunes or on vinyl. Iggy and the band’s web exclusive performance of "Break Into Your Heart," previously witnessed only by The Late Show studio audience, has also been unveiled.
Post Pop Depression is equal parts a dream come true for co-creator Homme as it is a record that defiantly takes its place in Iggy’s storied discography alongside the twin towers of The Idiot and Lust For Life--two records, and the mythic Berlin era of their creation, canonized as much lyrically ("German Days") as sonically ("Sunday") on this new record. The album is a singular work that bears its creators’ undeniable sonic DNA while sounding like nothing they’ve done before. It’s a record that wouldn’t exist without either Pop or Homme--and one that probably shouldn’t, in theory, if you really think about it--but it does, and we and rock ‘n’ roll are all the better for it.
Since Joanna Newsom's first album, The Milk-Eyed Mender, came out in 2004, her music has been an ever-growing category unto itself for listeners around the world. Her albums are regularly found on "Best of the Year" and "Best of the Decade" lists. Newsom's highly-anticipated fourth album Divers is "a treasure trove of melody and learning that rewards prolonged, enraptured study."

JLIN (Planet Mu - Gary, IN)
https://soundcloud.com/jlinnarlei
2015 Album of the Year at The Wire and The Quietus #3 on Resident Advisor.
"As the popularity of Footwork has continued to soar, the range of sounds within the genre has expanded. From the angular, minimal beats of RP Boo to the widely admired sound of sadly departed DJ Rashad, the genre has lovingly seeped into hearts and feet worldwide whilst continuing to innovate. Until now most of the focus has been on the male DJ/Producers, but that is about to change. Gary based producer Jlin, who some of you might remember for her track Erotic Heat (Bangs and Works Vol.2 Planet Mu 2011), or from her moment in the mainstream light providing music for fashion designer Rick Owens F/W 14 Paris runway show, is stepping further into the light with a stunning eleven track debut album Dark Energy showcasing her unique and bold new sound.
Gary, Indiana, a neighbouring City to Chicago, is one of those towns people overlook or perhaps expect the worst of. It's famous for the Jackson 5 and its Steel Mills, one of which Jlin works long shifts at. She says her sound and the themes behind my tracks are all based off what my creativity absorbs, whether it be bad or good, and the music certainly shows that intent. It's forceful, yet ripples with colour; its an intense, monolithic sound with rugged rhythms that stop and breathe and roll out in unusual staccato patterns. Its a sound unlike any other out there, one thats fiercely unique." Planet Mu http://www.planet.mu/discography/ZIQ356

A dj, creative director, photographer co-founder of Juke Bounce Werk- a collective of "tastemakers as well as performers, Juke Bounce Werk (or JBW, for short) has fostered the rising awareness of the footwork movement in Los Angeles and abroad. The devoted group comprises DJs, producers and artists who use their passion for the groove to promote juke to the masses. Insomniac headed to JBWs studio compound in sunny San Pedro, California, to learn more about the history and future of the 150160-BPM genre during their weekly gathering and rwd.fm radio show.
