Woah, what an impressive Tuesday we have here!
Le Poisson Rouge: Yes, you may say that one-time Mum touring member Olof Arnalds is indeed somewhat of a Joanna Newsom in Icelandic. Except, instead of being “freak folk”, her solo work is freakishly folk, compared to the decidedly contemporary sound we get from most Icelandic bands in the indie landscape, including Mum. But who knew Icelandic folk could be so damn lovely. I’m not sure how Arnalds did at South Streeat Seaport this past Sunday when she played the East Village Radio Festival, since that doesn’t seem like the ideal venue for her, but Le Poisson Rouge should pretty much be perfect. She plays an early show that’ll also feature a set from Skuli Sverrisson, with whom she has worked in the past. Meanwhile, Atlanta-based Deerhunter is playing a late show, and one that is not part of the tour scheduled for later this year with BARR, Knyfe Hyts and Vivian Girls.

Death by Audio: Israel’s Monotonix was formed “with the mission of redefining the rock show”, so they should perhaps be expected to kick some butt at Death by Audio. They told us, “New York is one of our favorite cities to play. After doing two support shows for Silver Jews for a more ’settled’ audience [Music Hall & Bowery the last two nights], we are very excited to do the organic thing and go back to a place like Death by Audio”. How about the tour? “Tour has been great, we just flew in from the west coast where the shows were really wild and fun, and we are happy to be back in our van driving down the east coast.” They’ll be joined by Knyfe Hyts, who’ll be touring a few cities with Deerhunter later this year, and Shellshag.
