Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2007, Boston's The Grownup Noise have evolved into a rousing indie- pop outfit, bridging the gap between americana and indie, who've shared stages with everyone from comedian Patton Oswalt to fellow avant-baroque musicians like Dresden Doll Amanda Palmer, Thao with the Get Down Stay Down(Kill Rock Stars), and acclaimed Canadian barnstormers Rock Plaza Central. Fast forward several years and various enriching personal pursuits, and the band is finally gearing up for its playful, poignant new LP, This Time with Feeling, set for release in late spring, 2011. Described by the Portland Press Herald (ME) as a combination of "smart lyrics with keen vocals," adding that "its songs are doses of melodic sunshine," The Grownup Noise has maintained and built on its fanbase during the intervening years through a savvy combination of eccentric pop songs, natural talent and determination.

This Time With Feeling was recorded throughout Boston and New England recording studios, a cabin in Maine, and even vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Paul Hansen's bathroom, where the band laid down some final vocal takes. The record was mixed in North Carolina by studio wizard Scott Solter (John Vanderslice, Spoon, Okkervil River, St. Vincent, Lost in the Trees), who also performed on several tracks, adding important finishing sonic touches and polishing their textural landscapes. 

All five members of The Grownup Noise (Paul Hansen - vocals, guitar, keys; Adam Sankowski - bass, keys, vocals; Katie Franich - cello, keys, vocals; and Aine Fujioka - drums, vocals), Todd Marsten (Accordion, Keys) are multi-instrumentalists and equal contributors to Feeling's umbrella of styles. The quartet came together in 2005 at the famous Berklee College of Music, when Paul and Adam first met.

Music from their debut was featured prominently during a seasonal climax of MTV's "The Real World", and The Tucson Weekly proclaimed that The Grownup Noise are, "A band that revels in the beauty of a simple melody delivered with minimal enhancement for maximum emotional effect." The Onion's A.V. Club raved, "The Grownup Noise's best asset is the songwriting, with lines of love and the changing seasons coming out as gently and colorful as the music itself." Boston's The Weekly Dig wrote, "When this noise emerges from its shell, it feels so genuine in its simple emotion that you can't help but embrace it." Recently, their new single 'Carnival' won a contest judged by NYTimes Best-Selling Author and music writer Steve Almond, and was featured on NPR. The band was also excited to learn that 'Carnival' was the most downloaded song in early April 2011 for Paste Magazine's Songs For Haiti. 

The Grownup Noise have spent much of the past three-plus years since their last record nurturing their skills and crossing the country on five national tours, traveling in a van that ran on recycled vegetable oil and was converted by members of fellow touring mates Piebald. 

With a true love for song, influences range from the Beatles' and Velvet Underground's classic experimental songwriting to the modern arrangement and sonic diversity of Stars and Ra Ra Riot. On This Time With Feeling, the band's musicianship and songcraft continue to evolve with a collection of sophisticated and honest work.

Rob Laing talks to the chefs creating the best plant-based food. Whether you call that “vegetable-forward”, “plant-based cuisine” or just good food, the trend is undeniable and goes beyond being vegan or vegetarian. Plant Gourmet talks to these chefs in detail on topics like running plant-based restaurants, recipes and menu development, food issues, health and diet, the environment, animal rights, ingredients, suppliers, the food scene, new technology, culinary and hospitality trends and more.

Entheogenic Sound Explorers (ESE), are the italian musicians Stefano Contini and Piero Marchesi. 

When painting their musical landscapes they seek for inner and cosmic consciousness with the use of elements of Nature, melodic synthsounds, varied rhythmic elements and hidden voices. The crispy, warm and organic infused ambient with occasional parts of guitar and bass creates a lovely, timeless sound.with psychedelic flavours and presented in a clear, transparent sound spectrum.  

Over the years and different albums the band have taken several musical influences and channeled them into something that is truly their own.
But if comparisons must be made it could be with The Orb or Future Sound Of London. Expect a masterful blend of analog and digital sounds, which will carry you away on a  psychedelic journey through the gardens of dubby, hypnotic ambient with a sense of hope and being.

As the Band says:

With our Music we would like to encourage self and cosmic consciousness, respect for Nature and Sacred Plants, and development of the human being through exploration of the self, arts and meditation. To explore the dimensions of the magic garden, whether it be vegetable, animal or more spiritual and cosmic, is to undertake a trip toward our deeper perception, which recalls the multiple faces of our vital cradle, Mother Earth, Gaia. What we want to represent is a range of vibrations that can only be discovered through careful listening. By using certain sounds that are close to our emotional and spiritual sphere, we want to represent our origins, our roots, which in everyday life aren't always represented at their best, but which can certainly help in taking a better approach toward our existence.

winnipeg is a perpetually fucked, iced waste disaster; septic spectacle, spare secreted desire and delight.
never thawing, crystallized, a rancid rotting raster, all glassy and sparkling square in the brittle winter light.
my breath catches as I sniff the air and sneer,
"... smells like fucking crack in here."

All my life I've been a music fan. No matter what genre I love it all as long as it sounds good. Lately though, a lot of the "mainstream" music has been letting me down. It all sounds very generic and unoriginal, also lacking soul and creativity.  I made this page specifically to promote and share music that has all of those qualities and then some. Don't get me wrong I do hear many popular songs today that still tickle my fancy and float my boat, but after a few years listening to bedroom producers, garage bands, and underground sounds my faith in music has been much restored. So, if you're a music producer, artist, or band who would like to get their sound out there send it my way and I will promote the living shit out of it, as long as it's good. Also don't take it personally if I don't post or promote your song, I will only promote music that I feel people should know about and would actually enjoy listening to.
