PiXELMiX: "Tomorrowland Mix" - Emilie Friedlander

With Peace and Love for Every Lonesome Oatful Zoner
We come to you bearing the fruitful mix of loving laborer Emilie Friedlander, frontwoman of LA BIG VIC and Altie Zoner herself. Here within is a sequence of jams so dear to her you must consider them the very fibers of thread that stitch together her heart, keeping it safe and whole. They teeter right on the edge of Spring-cum-Summer. Emilie says of them:

Here is a collection of songs that I've kept very very close to me over the years-- mostly introduced to me by friends, and mostly of the loner-psych variety. The dominant themes are love, God, and the beauty of a perfectly timed drum fill.

It is difficult to express how beautifully crafted, personal a mix this is. Without further ado, for you, and your aural pleasioscopies, here is:

VIDEO: LA BIG VIC - "FAO Schwartz" Live at Cameo Gallery

"Heavy Zones"
LA BIG VIC are Emilie Friedlander, Toshio Masuda, and Peter Pearson. They make political music from the future in a distant city you haven't heard of yet. Their shows are thoroughly experiential and bring a feeling of fullness to every audience member who is lucky enough to bear witness to such a psychedeli-Japafrench-fantasia.

We poured a lot of love into this video and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Watch full screen, volume up, please.

MP3: La Big Vic - "HEYO (Silver Morning)"

Watching the Sun Rise Over An Imaginary CityLa Big Vic's new track "HEYO (Silver Morning)" springs forth in an abundant array of pleasing tones. The reverberating, mellifulous vocals of Emilie Friedlander evoke the strong yet sensuous presence of a warrior woman, similar to Nika Roza Danilova of Zola Jesus. Toshio Masuda weaves the complex instrumental structure and beat of the song along in a way that is both psychedelic and "political."

This track comes from their debut cassette tape, which will be available come April.

Stay tuned for a PIXELHORSE video of La Big's performance at Cameo this past winter, which we had the pleasure of attending. La Big Vic, joined by Peter Pearson (of Love Like Deloreans) on keys/synths, gave birth to a beautiful, beautiful performance that night. We can't wait to see their next show.
