“
There are few bands that can accurately evoke the sounds of the Olympia, Washington music scene in the early ’90s. But who’s to blame? There’s a lot to live up to when it comes to that infamous booming post-hardcore scene that was influencing bands like Beat Happening, Unwound, Nirvana, and Sleater-Kinney. However Broken Water, a trio from Olympia, has respectively represented the new wave of emerging artists in the northwestern American music scene. Their second album, Tempest, is drenched in distortion and noise that call to artists like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.
“When You Said,” begins with somber guitar playing that makes you think, well here’s that shitty sad slow song on the album. However just past that one minute mark is exactly why I love Broken Water so much. Slowly, like a creeping fog, distortion begins to flow over the track with heavy waves of chaotic and strange noise.
The rest of the album continues to keep these elements. Tempest is droned out, a little unkept, all while evoking hauntingly beautiful elements with the harmonizing of all the band members.

Raven Sings the Blues;
We were fans of Chicago’s undersung Brain Idea here, and their Kiwi-laden pop seemed a perfect fit with some of the actual So. Hemisphere crowd we’d been digging over the past couple of years. Alas the band dissolved but in their stead a new project under the name Outside World has sprung with Brain Idea’s Ben Scott at the helm. A softer, and more well rounded affair than Brain Idea, their new tape on the venerable Night People is a soft focus sugar rush of later period Kiwi influences but with a massive melodic touch up courtesy of the bass and background vocals from the band’s Hazel Rigby. The EP is full of stripped back candy nibs that deserve to be on repeat until the tape unspools in a fit of desperation; a blur of colors that collapses in dizzied bliss. Seriously interested to see where these three go from here but for now we’ll just have to love what they’ve put down on Seaside Nowhere.
