HELSING JUNCTION SLEEPOVER LINE-UP

Angelo Spencer did a remix of “The Hunch,” a song by the wondrous Maxines. He sent it over this morning, and it sounds otherwordly—transmitted from some martian station, intercepted by earth as a wonderfully stuttering mess. This is a true alien jammer.
SEATTLE!THE HIVE DWELLERS (Calvin Johnson & ensemble), ANGELO SPENCER, & ASHLEY ERIKSSON (of LAKE) are playing together tonight at CAIRO! Such a beautiful space and its going to be an really really good show. Man, really. You should GO.
Angelo Spencer et les Hauts Sommets made this charming video for “Estonia” some time ago, but for some reason we haven’t posted it yet. We have no excuse; this video is undeniably awesome.
Holy moly, Angelo Spencer has a new music video! You should check it out, especially if you like running, forests, water, French man legs, sunsets, and killer jams.
Angelo Spencer and his High Summits.
… seems like they still figuring out the whole “boat in water” thing, though.

If you haven’t heard Angelo Spencer et les Hauts Sommets’ summer waverider, World Garage (KLP235), then hop on and get wet!
Here’s “3 Heures,” the album’s halfway point. What a ripper!
The Olympia house that Ben Kapp lived in went up in flames early this past Monday morning. Ben and his housemates (Kevin, Jonah, Justin, and Richie) escaped without harm, but the house and everything in it was totally destroyed. These guys are now houseless with the clothes on their backs and nothing else (and they’d be even further up shit creek if not for the American Red Cross). But they lost EVERYTHING - and could use as much help as possible to get their lives back to normal.
If you’d like to donate clothing for adult males, household items, mixtapes, keepsakes, or anything else, they can be dropped off at 802 Jefferson St. SE between 11am-5pm M-Th. All donations will be passed along to Ben ASAP. Further questions can be directed to the K Mail Order Dept. Special thank you to Angelo Spencer for this idea.
Is there possibly a better way to enjoy an Oly summer day than by drifting off under the sun to the sweet sounds of Angelo Spencer’s “Gallop?” We think not.
Angelo Spencer et le Hauts Sommets‘ World Garage (KLP235) came out on K last month and since then it’s served as our perfect summer soundtrack.
