VIDEO : The Young - "Cry Of Tin"
A few minutes ago, the good people at AV Club premiered "Cry Of Tin", the new video from The Young's upcoming 3rd album, 'Chrome Cactus' (out August 25). Filmed (mostly) in a NYC storage facility by director Winston Case, we should stress this is neither an accurate representation of The Young's actual rehearsal environment in Austin, TX, nor is it meant to be a commentary on the honest men & women who do heroic work everyday as America's key cutters and locksmiths. While the rest of us are making sick guitar records (or having tremendous arguments over the press releases for such), these courageous individuals are our last line of defense against, y'know, being locked out.
It is my fervent hope that not only will this video provide a hint to many of you why we at Matador Records & Filmworks consider The Young to be one of the nation's most important bands, but you'll also realize the above clip is a character study and should not be construed as "fighting words" by the locksmith/key cutter whose place of business is roughly 400 feet from my house. Thank you.
The Young's next North American tour kicks off August 29 in Los Angeles (with Milk'n'Cookies, Lamps and Gun Outfit), but not before they play Austin's Waterloo Records on 'Chrome Cactus''s release date, Monday, August 25 at 5pm. We'll bring the keg, you bring your ID and money for 'Chrome Cactus' (both are optional, but we're mostly fixated on the latter --- contrary to popular belief, the beer will drink itself)

A simple summer meal
Two courses - I'm actually going to provide recipes this time. Salad of mixed lettuces, followed by habanero-marinated chicken thighs with parsleyed rice.
Salad of mixed lettuces:
- lettuces of your choice - here are romaine and butter lettuces
- cinnamon basil leaves - torn by hand
- fresh sage leaves
- fresh hyssop leaves
Wash and dry the lettuce and tear into bite-size chunks. Add the fresh herbs. Mix well with your hands. Make a vinaigrette by pounding a medium-sized garlic clove with a pinch of coarse salt and a grinding of fresh pepper until it is mush. Add red wine vinegar (not balsamic) and mix well. Add an equal or lesser amount of olive oil, mix well, pour on salad and toss well, serve.
Chicken thighs marinated with habanero:
- 4 good chicken thighs, bone in and skin on
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
- 1/2 Western shallot or 2 Asian shallots
- 1 fresh habanero (Scotch bonnet) chile, or more to taste
- 1 large garlic clove
- 3 tsp ghee
- 1/3 cup vermouth
Crumble the Mexican oregano into the salt in a large bowl and mix well with your hands. Finely chop the shallot, and mince the habanero and the garlic. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken thighs (do not rinse or dry them), and mix thoroughly with the rest of the ingredients so that the marinade covers every surface of the chicken.
(Wash your hands thoroughly after this.)
Cover bowl and place in fridge for 3 hours, removing and turning the thighs once during that time. Remove from fridge, transfer to a room-temperature bowl, and rest at room temp for about 30 minutes.
Using your hands, remove as much of the marinade as possible from the chicken - as many of the pieces of shallot, garlic and habanero as you can squeeze off - and reserve. Now pat the chicken dry thoroughly on both sides and rest on a plate.
Heat the ghee over medium heat in a heavy pot with a lid such as Le Creuset dutch oven. Add the shallot-garlic-habanero mixture and saute until shallots are soft, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the mixture and reserve, saving the oil (the easiest way to do this may be to pour the hot oil and shallot mixture through a sieve into a bowl). Pour the oil back into the pan.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the four chicken thighs. Saute for about 4 minutes on each side or until thoroughly browned. Do not worry is the skin sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Return the shallot mixture to the pan, reduce heat to lowest possible setting, cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until the thighs measure about 160F with a probe thermometer.
(Wash your hands again thoroughly after this - you've been handling raw habanero.)
Remove the thighs, pour off the fat, saving as much of the shallots as you can - put those on top of the chicken. Return the pot, which should have ample pieces of caramelized meat and herbs sticking to the bottom of it, to a high flame. When hot, add the vermouth and deglaze, stirring and scraping to dislodge as much of the fond as possible. Just before the vermouth has fully evaporated, pour the contents of the pan over the chicken.
Parsleyed rice (start this about 20 minutes before chicken will be ready):
- 2/3 cup carolina or similar long-grain rice
- 1 1/3 cup water
- generous pinch of salt
- about 3-4 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
Combine rice, water and salt in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Stir well with wooden spoon or paddle. Bring to a boil, stir again with wooden spoon, and cover with lid (place aluminum foil between pot and lid for extra tight seal if necessary), reduce heat to minimum, and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and allow to sit, covered and undisturbed, for another 2 minutes. Remove lid, add parsley, and fluff well with wooden spoon to aerate rice and mix in the parsley.
Serve rice and chicken on same plate with ample amounts of drippings and shallot mixture, as well as lemon wedges and freshly ground pepper

Sea Island red peas and rice
Sea Island red peas. Soaked overnight and drained. Then simmered an equal mixture of ham stock and chicken stock, added the drained beans along with onion, celery, garlic clove, bay leaf, a pork neck bone and some homemade Jamaican curry powder. Back to a simmer, then into a 250F oven for about 2 hours. Removed, seasoned with salt and about half a finely chopped habanero, returned to oven for 20-30 minutes. Blended a portion of peas and liquid and returned to pot. Removed and discarded vegetables and aromatics. Added sliced serrano ham and freshly minced habanero. Served on buttered carolina rice.
It's hard to overemphasize the depth and complexity of this dish - earthy but with the subtlety of bitter chocolate and the aroma of juniper. That only scrapes the surface actually. Anson Mills does it again, or maybe I'm still just learning about the intensity & levels of flavor of legumes. Please try it.

VIDEO : Perfume Genius - "Queen"
(photo by Luke Gilford)
“I've seen faces of blank terror when I walk by. Sometimes from seemingly strong, macho dudes - somehow my presence confuses and ultimately scares them. There is a strange power to it that I've only recently begun to understand and embrace. After many years trying to sort out exactly what they are scared of, most of the time converting the result into personal shame, there are now moments of monstrous pride”. - Mike Hadreas
As mentioned earlier this week, on September 23 Matador will be releasing the 3rd album from Perfume Genius, 'Too Bright' (coming September 22 in the UK via Turnstile). Here's the album's first video, "Queen", directed bySSION :

VIDEO : The New Pornographers - "War On The East Coast"
"We were going for some mid nineties second tier brit pop attitude. In the past, I've never really wanted to be in the video. But with this, we wanted to have fun and fully be IN the video." - Carl Newman
"War On The East Coast" is the first video from the upcoming album by The New Pornographers, 'Brill Bruisers' (August 25). As you can see, Carl, Dan Bejar and director Thom Glunt weren't hesitant to depict the destruction of a major North American city, but I should stress this is not documentary footage. On the pseudo-apocalyptic scale not only do I think this video kicks Michael Bay's ass (about time, too), but the song's incredible. Wait 'til you hear the whole album.
A limited edition multi-colored paint splattered version of the LP is available through the Matador and New Pornographers webstores. Pre-order the limited edition LP and receive a 3D poster and 3D glasses (while supplies last)

Coming September 23 : Perfume Genius - "Too Bright", New Worldwide Dates
(EDITOR'S NOTE : On September 23, Matador will be releasing the new album from Perfume Genius, 'Too Bright' on LP, CD and digital configurations*. Even for those of us who've been previously left wobbly by Mike Hadreas' songwriting prowess, his 3rd full-length is nothing short of a knockout blow. Bravest record we've ever released? It's absolutely in the top one and a half - GC)
(* - Turnstile Music will be releasing the album in the UK on September 22)
"Queen"
Over the course of two astonishing albums, Perfume Genius, aka Seattle native Mike Hadreas, cemented his place as a singer-songwriter of rare frankness, with achingly emotional songs that offered empathy and hope, rather than judgment or handwringing. Sparse, gorgeous and with Hadreas’ quavering vocals often only accompanied by piano, they were uncommonly beautiful tales of a life lived on the dark side – scarred, brutalized, yet ultimately reclaimed.
'Too Bright', however, is something else altogether. Less self-conscious, and less concerned with storytelling and easily-digested melodies, it is a bold and unpredictably quixotic exploration of what Hadreas calls “an underlying rage that has slowly been growing since age ten and has just begun to bubble up”. Recorded with Adrian Utley of Portishead and featuring John Parish on several tracks, it is a stunning about-face which brings to mind audacious career-shift albums like Kate Bush’s 'The Dreaming' or Scott Walker’s 'Tilt', records which walk the tightrope between pure songwriting and overt experimentation.

Roasted pepper salad
Take whole bell peppers, as many different colors as you like, and put them on a grill or under the broiler, turning with tongs until the skin blisters and blackens all over. About 2 minutes per side - some peppers have many sides, some have four.
Seal the blistered peppers in ziplok bags for 10 minutes. Remove and peel with your hands - the skin should come off easily. Do NOT rinse or wash the outside of the peppers as you peel them: they will lose flavor. When you have gotten as much of the skin off as possible - it does not need to be all of it - place a sieve or colander above a bowl and carefully split them open with your hands and seed them, as well as removing any pith. Let the juices collect in the bowl underneath - they are wonderfully delicious and a crucial part of the dish - and reserve.
Slice the peppers into slivers as shown in the photo above, and arrange them on romaine lettuce. Crush a garlic clove in a mortar and pestle with some coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the reserved pepper juice and some good wine vinegar and mix. Add olive oil to taste and whisk together.
Arrange good anchovies (recommended: Ortiz a la antigua, shown above) atop the roasted pepper slices. Dress with the dressing. Sprinkle with fresh sage and hyssop.
