DOWNLOAD: MV & EE and the Golden Road – Anyway (MP3)
The New England psych-raga rockers MV+EE and the Golden Road are playing tonight (1/20) at Cake Shop (set at 11pm, $7, 21+), and tomorrow (1/21) at Monster Island Basement with Spectre Folk, Kurt Vile, Pink Reason, and Christian DeRoek of Little Gold (8pm, $7, all ages). After a Jan/Feb tour down the East Coast, MV+EE will then get back to NYC for a February 27 gig at Lutheran Church of the Messiah in Greenpoint with Marissa Nadler and Mountainhood (a.k.a. Michael Curtis Hilde who’s hosting the gig as part of his The Story series – this one is Chapter XII: Blisses).
Today, MV+EE and the Golden Road dropped a new duo-and-friends LP/CD, Drone Trailer, this time on San Francisco’s Dicristina Stair Builders label. The band, fond of recording and releasing albums, worked with Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label on 2007’s Gettin’ Gone and last year’s Astral Bleachers/Big Moment limited-edition live bootleg. The band’s blog also reports that “[MV+EE] got some deep live archives being waxed for heroine celestial agriculture[EE’s label] for the jan/feb tour as well as a sweet deluxe C.O.M. – all heads be united.” I’m not really sure what that last part means…
Thurston Moore recently gave his Top 10 of 2008 – listing MV Carbon’s The Dislodged Parahelion CD at No. 7. MV Carbon, a Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist, is a similarly dubbed, but totally different person than MV+EE’s Matt Valentine. All tour dates and a video below…
