Concert Preview: Small Sails, Julie Sokolow, Discuss & Jon Cocker @ Garfield Artworks - Wednesday April 11th

Small SailsSmall Sails are from Portland, OR and not only do they produce some beautiful post-electronic music but their live shows are also a multimedia experience. They make films and use reel to reel and duel projectors at their shows to create the experience.

They are joined at Garfield Artworks tonight by Pittsburgh's own Julie Sokolow who has been compared to everyone from Julie Doiron to Cat Power in the media attention that came with her 'Something About Violins' release. Pitchfork wrote: "For her, lo-fi isn't a result of outsider circumstances, but an artistic choice. Something About Violins adroitly upends lofi's expectations of live performance, it's song full of artful touches and sophisticated layer of sounds." Check her out for yourself with these mp3's - Seasons Violins All The Wrong Reasons .

Discuss are also from Pittsburgh and produce downtempo IDM. Here is a Pittsburgh City Paper review by Manny Theiner of their debut.
