Primavera Sound 2013 MP3 Collection

2017-07-05T04:35:14-04:00

The annual Primavera Sound Festival took place this May at Parc Del Forum in Barcelona, Spain. The festival's line-up is consistantly impressive, bringing together a mix of artists from across genres and generations.

For the past 5 years, WFMU has been incredibly honored to be the festival's official American radio station. and to have so many incredible acts have give us permission to carry their sets.

These recordings wouldn't be possible without help from WFMU staffers who occupied the mosquito-infested double-wide broadcasting tent during the coldest Primavera festival yet. This includes WFMU's Liz Berg (you love her FMA podcasts and weekly mixes), Brian Turner (thank him for our recent live Mudhoney session), Scott Williams, Evan "Funk" Davies and Scott Konzelmann. You can explore the rest of the archived, streamable (non-downloadable) sets here and here.

All of these artist-approved live recordings are being offered under a Download Only License, which means they welcome you to listen but not remix or use in videos.

Primavera Sound 2012 MP3 Collection, Pt. 2

2017-07-05T04:35:14-04:00

And we're back with more live music from this Summer's Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. We've got six artists on deck for the second batch, including:

Sharon Van Etten :: Afrocubism :: Dirty Three :: The Field :: The Pop Group :: James Ferraro

Brooklyn's Sharon Van Etten is on quite the up and up with her soulful blend of folk and pop - we've got her full set from Primavera for your listening pleasure, and don't miss her performance at the WFMU studios this past February. Afrocubism packs an impressive amount of international talent onto one stage, featuring Eliades Ochoa of Buena Vista Social Club and master Kora player Toumani Diabate backed by the finest musicians Mali and Cuba have to offer. Australian instrumental rockers Dirty Three have graciously allowed us to post their full set, including the hillariously foul banter between songs that we couldn't play on the radio. The Field's Axel Willner has been a mainstay of the Kompakt roster since 2004 and we've got the last two numbers from his mind-expanding set this Summer. The Pop Group are still going strong after transforming post-punk in the late '70s, represented here by five selections from their genre-bending set. This batch finishes strong with a sunny performance from experimental man of mystery James Ferraro.

If you missed the first batch of Primavera 2012 uploads you can find the write up here, and the whole collection here.

Primavera Sound 2012 MP3 Collection, Pt. 1

2017-07-05T04:35:14-04:00

WFMU returned to Barcelona in early June for yet another fantastic festival from the folks at Primavera Sound. As always, the line-up is curated with a freeform mentality, bringing a diverse array of artists spanning multiple genres and generations. We've had a few weeks now to recoup from our sleepless broadcast coverage of the festival [playlists here and here] and we're excited to present our first batch of downloadable artist-approved live recordings!

Part 1 begins with:

Obits :: Mudhoney :: Michael Gira :: Milk Music :: Liturgy :: The Men

Brooklyn's Obits are no strangers to the Free Music Archive, and they've taken the time to remaster this recording of their Primavera performance just for the FMA. It sounds great! Seattle's Mudhoney inspired heaps of Grunge rockers with their early singles on Sub Pop in the late eighties. Now they're back and still kicking ass - don't miss their set, a fan favorite! Despite multiple attempts from Michael Gira (pictured above) over the years to slip obsenities into our Primavera broadcast, our FCC dump button still got the better of him. For our troubles, he let us share a song from his excellent solo performance in Barcelona. Olympia's Milk Music visited the WFMU studios on Brian Turner's show last Summer (session here). This Summer we caught up with them in sunny Spain for some afternoon tunage on the Mediterranean (pictured at Left). Liturgy's brand of "transcendental black metal" gave way to the hypnotically buiding "Generation" and finally, The Men, who headlined our show at SXSW, offer another sampling of their post-punk stylings with a few new songs sprinkled in.

Take a look at the Primavera Sound 2012 Collection for all of the livesets uploaded to date, and be sure to check back in the next couple weeks as we continue to upload more and more great sets from this year's festival. Below you'll find some highlights from our first batch...

>> No Joy live at Priamvera Sound

* The Soft Moon, a project of California's Luis Vasquez, performs live with a full band. "Tiny Spiders" closes his s/t debut on Captured Tracks, and capped off a set of dark 80s-inspired angular post-pop.

Primavera Sound 2011 MP3 collection kickoff

2017-07-05T04:35:14-04:00

Primavera Sound held its eleventh-annual festival in Barcelona Spain last month, and we are proud to present mp3 highlights from what is truly one of the world's most incredible music events. This year, a record-setting 120,000+ attendees were treated to several stages'-worth of performances by established artists, special reunion performances, and many up-and-coming artists who you might not expect to see on the big festival stage.

For the third year in a row, the freeform-inspired folks at Primavera invited WFMU to broadcast live [playlists here and here], and we are kicking off the Free Music Archive collection with sets from...

Prince Rama :: Swans :: Oneohtrix Point Never :: Suicide :: Pissed Jeans :: The Monochrome Set :: Ducktails :: Half Japanese

We picked out a few highlights below, like Michael Gira (pictured L) giving WFMU a Ween-referencing "shoutout" before launching into an incredible version of "Eden Prison" off the new Swans album My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky, and Matt from Pissed Jeans speaking directly to the guys & girls in the audience during "Boring Girls," leading into the most trance-inducing drum solo of the entire festival. New Wave chart-toppers' Prince Rama (pictured R, formerly Of Ayodhya) performed backed by VJ Julian of Quiet Hooves; Oneohtrix Point Never's set was a psychedelic trip; Suicide performed their entire first LP followed by "Dream Baby Dream as an encore; Half Japanese played a rawkus set of should-be hits that recalled their performance at WFMU's 2008 SXSW festival; the fantastic reunion performance from London post-punk pioneers The Monochrome Set; and a full-band set of jams new & old from New Jersey's own Ducktails.

Primavera Sound is unique in that they pair established headliners and festival performers with up-and-coming artists. They also have a great ear towards the music scene in Spain. One of the acts playing this year's festival, Aias, are an all-female three-piece from Barcelona who sing in Catalán. They were actually inspired to form a band after seeing the Vivian Girls at Primavera Sound a couple years back! You can listen to here, and check out many more select recordings from past Primavera Sound festivals as we look forward to Primavera 2011!

Sic Alps live at Primavera Sound 2010

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

I hadn't seen Sic Alps since a show a couple summers back at Brooklyn's Death By Audio, which is a DIY venue that looks a little something like this:

Death By Audio has its own sound system, but Sic Alps didn't care. They brought their own, cuz that's how they do -- running everything through a big set of black and Orange amps, mixing in a touch of tasteful delay to create that distinctive Sic sound. It's a sound you may already be familiar with from their releases on myriad awesome labels (Slumberland, Siltbreeze, Woodsist, Important, Almost Ready, Drag City, the list goes on). If you've yet to hear these fine releases, you can check out "Message From the Law" on this FMA Sampler V2, and their amazing 2007 live session on Brian Turner's show (part of which appeared on a highly sought-after tape via Mike Donovan's own Folding Cassettes imprint). I've often heard Brian Turner speak of Sic Alps as exemplary of the new crop of DIY bands (Thee Oh Sees and Naked On The Vague among them) who shape sound entirely through their own equipment instead of depending upon outside forces.

Sic Alps sounded downright at home on the big festival stage at Primavera, pumped through gargantuan outdoor speakers like it was no big deal. The former two-piece of Mike Donovan (vocals/guitar) and Matt Harman (drums) are now joined by bassist Noel Von Harmonson, which helped round out their sound on classic Alps tunes like "Brill Building," "Bells (w/ Tremolo and Distortion)" "Stories" plus new jams, "Do You Want to Give $$" being one of my faves from the set. If you like these free sounds and want to give $$, the $ icon on Sic Alps FMA profile directs to their merch page but for some reason it only contains lyrics, nothing for sale...well I'm sure you can find stuff online thru Drag City, Siltbreeze etc, or find a new track, "Maddy / Riley" available on a new Amnesty International compilation called "PEACE" that with exclusive tracks by 180+ artists -- including Bonde Do Role, Dan Deacon, Steve Wynn, Vieux Farka Toure -- available for a donation of $5 or more (link).

Almighty Defenders live at Primavera Sound -- Hallelujah!?

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

The Almigty Defenders are a twisted-gospel/garage-punk supergroup featuring members of Black Lips, King Khan & BBQ. When I say "gospel," I mean these guys are inspired by 70s soul, 60s garage and 50s R&B, but the spiritual message is slightly warped. During their rowdy live set at Primavera Sound, they don't just encourage the crowd to "Take Jesus Christ," but to "take him by the balls...and squeeze". They had some strong words for the pope as well in this beguiling set of spirituals, and survived more than a gag (a Defender vomited onstage, which upset the security guards) to keep the party going late Saturday night at the Vice stage.

Vice released The Almighty Defenders' self-titled debut LP late last year, which is surprising turn-around considering the group had only formed in February 2009. Even more surprising is the group's origin story -- according to Wikipedia:

During the Black Lips' January 2009 tour of India, following an incident at a rowdy show during which Cole Alexander kissed fellow bandmember Ian St. Pe and exposed his private parts on-stage, the Lips fled the country while rumors of their arrests circulated the internet. The tour was canceled and the group members fled to the Berlin, Germany residence of King Khan, where Sultan so happened to be recording tracks with Khan for the King Khan and BBQ Show's upcoming "Invisible Girl". Over the course of eight days, in a typically booze-sloppy Black Lips fashion, they laid down 11 tracks with Khan and Sultan. On June 17, the full group made its live debut, performing a set in choir robes at the North by Northeast festival.

The Defenders' choir robes were in full effect at Primavera Sound, where highlights included the group's epic "The Great Defender", "The Ghost With The Most", and "Cone of Light" (full setlist after the jump). The album version of "Cone of Light" is available for download from Vice Records' FMA collection, where you can also find music from related projects Black Lips and King Khan and The Shrines and great great bands like Pierced Arrows, Growing, The Raveonettes, Acrassicauda and Lullabye Arkestra.

Primavera Sound wrap-up pt.3: A Sunny Day in Glasgow in Barcelona

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

A Sunny Day in Glasgow's dream-pop stylings have gotten increasingly layered with ethereal subtlety since their debut in 2006, and this translated surprisingly well to the Primavera Sound festival environment. I'd recommend listening back to this live recording through extremely large speakers -- as big as you can find -- at maximum volume, outside.

Contrary to what their name might have you believe, A Sunny Day in Glasgow is actually from Philadelphia PA. Core member Ben Daniels and mult--instrumentalist Josh Meakam are also members of King Kong Ding Dong (who I've written about here). The current incarnation of ASDiG -- either 2.0 or 3.0 for those keeping score -- is rounded out by vocalists Annie Fredrickson and Jen Goma, bassist Ryan Newmyer, and drummer Adam Herndon.

The Primavera set capped off a 6 week European tour, and focused on new material. A particularly catchy unreleased song (to be titled either "broken radio" or "come away with me" or "sigh, inhibitionist") bodes very well for the future of ASDiG. Most of the other songs can be found through the Mis Ojos Discos label, on either Ashes Grammer (2009) or the Nitetime Rainbows 12'' EP (2010). The latter demonstrates how well the ASDiG layered sound lends itself to remixes with three unique takes on the title track, including one by Ezekiel Honig. You can pick up ASDiG releases through their website, along with a few more free mp3 downloads of demos, singles and remixes (including a Radiohead remix). Word is they have a new full-length in the works, so keep an ear out!

Primavera Sound recap pt1: Superchunk (mp3)

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

For the second year in a row, Primavera Sound made WFMU the official American radio station for their unparalleled 3-day festival in Barcelona, Spain. The multi-stage festival was bigger and better than ever as it celebrated its 10th anniversary with a lineup of heavy hitters and WFMU favorites like Pavement, Sic Alps, Wire, The Books, The Clean, The Slits, Thee Oh Sees, New Pornographers, Diplo, Wilco, Camarón de la Isla, and So Cow. Many of these sets are now archived streaming on WFMU's special events page, and starting today we're posting some mp3 highlights to WFMU's Blog and Free Music Archive!

Kicking things off is the one and only Superchunk! The legendary kings of indie rock are back to reclaim their crown with their first new album in nine years, Majesty Shredding, slated for a September 14th release on Merge Records. Singer/guitarist Mac McCaughan and bassist Laura Ballance founded Merge back in 1989 with the release of Superhcunk's debut, the "Slack Motherfucker" 7''. That anthemic tune was one of many classics from the 2010 Primavera set, which was broadcast in its entirely on Terre T's Cherry Blossom Clinic. Also in the mix was "Detroit Has a Skyline" (mp3 below), "Learn to Surf" (off the forthcoming album), and "Precision Auto" featuring the omnipresent Tim Harrington of Les Savy Fav on guest vocals -- also check out his stage appearance during Liquid Liquid's set on WFMU's youtube).

The live performance and new album both feature a classic Superchunk lineup -- unchanged since the early 90's -- with Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance joined by Jim Wilbur on guitar and the renaissance man Jon Wurster on drums. You can check out a video teaser for Majesty Shredding over at vimeo, or after the jump.

Elsewhere on the FMA, you can catch Mac performing a solo set as Portastatic live over the phone from Chapel Hill, as broadcast on Phoning It In where "lo-fi is the right fi".

Stay tuned to the FMA where we'll be posting mp3 highlights from Primavera Sound all week long, and in the meantime, enjoy some Prima-Video's after the jump

Sunn o))) live at Primavera

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

Recorded by Brian Turner on Sony D-50 PCM wav recorder; Sunn o))) that night was the duo of Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley, performing their Grimmrobe Demos (originally from 1999) in entirety.

21 sets from WFMU's stand at the fest are archived for streaming here (including Wooden Shjips, Vivian Girls, th' Faith Healers, Spectrum, St. Etienne and more), while some of those have been approved for MP3 download here (including the Vaselines, Bats, Dan Deacon and more).

The Bats: Live at Primavera Sound

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

Christchurch, New Zealand's Bats were a perfect hour's accompaniment to a sunny afternoon Primavera Sound fest in Barcelona (where WFMU broadcast for three days from May 28-30). Since 1983, the steady lineup of Kaye Woodward, Paul Kean, Malcolm Grant and Robert Scott (who was also a founding member of the Clean) have specialized in a distinct brand of delicate and surging electric folk-pop which sometimes got them tagged as the Kiwi answer to early 80's R.E.M. However, the Bats drew from a much more varied well (influenced by everything from the Troggs to Stereolab and onward), and kept their recording and touring lives relatively simple yet steady (with breaks for having kids, solo projects, and the occassional Clean reunion).

They've been long regarded a seminal core band of the Flying Nun label universe, with critics and fans alike continually heralding them throughout their long history. We've been longtime fans and friends here at the station, the band even put out a Live at WFMU 7" single on Merge back in 1994. Their latest, the Guilty Ones, is out now on Hidden Agenda, and we're happy they've agreed to let us archive their great Primavera set for download.

20 of the Primavera sets WFMU carried are archived for streaming here, by the way, and a few of those bands have OK'd downloads, which you can check out here in the Free Music Archive Primavera Sound collection.

The Vaselines live at Primavera Sound

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

Some more fruits of our late May visit to Barcelona's Primavera Sound fest, where WFMU set up camp (like, in a tent and all) for three sunkissed days and breezy Mediterranean nights. We've got archives of 20 of the sets we recorded and aired, and some of the artists were even generous enough to allow downloads via WFMU and the Free Music Archive sites. One of these groups, Scotland's legendary Vaselines, put in one of the most fun sets of the entire weekend, definitely with some of the best stage banter to boot. For the uninitiated, the group existed from 1986-1990 fronted by Francis McKee and Eugene Kelly (the latter going on to form Eugenius and Captain America) and had a big booster via the Northwestern USA underground axis of K/Sub Pop records (Sub Pop put out an anthology of the Vaselines on the tail of some major Kurt Cobain fandom, in fact Nirvana covered three Vaselines tunes). They reunited in 2006, toured the USA in 2009 and finished their recent tour at this Barcelona show. We unfortunately didn't get the first tune of the set, but dig in to the MP3's below, and if you like, check out some more pics of the Fest from WFMU's Flickr group.

Oneida, live at Primavera Sound Festival 2009, Barcelona

2017-07-05T04:35:13-04:00

WFMU dropped anchor on the shores of the Mediterranean last month at the invitation of Barcelona's stunning Primavera Sound Festival, where we joined 80,000 of our new best friends in an ecstatic celebration of music, good livin', good eatin', and futball victory. We're still a bit dazzled and sorting the spoils, but it looks like we had a fabulous radio weekend, broadcasting more than 20 excellent band sets and meeting many new friends from all over the world. WFMU has added streaming archives of many of the sets, and the FMA is hosting a bunch of mp3s for download as well. It fills my breast with great honor to include a fresh batch of Barcelona beats from our hometown faves and longtime bruhs Oneida!

Check out "Sheets of Easter" below, then make haste to Oneida's FMA artist page or the Primavera Sound Festival collection to make this feast your very own.
