Do you enjoy post-punk electronic psychedelic shoegaze spacerock?  If so please do check out this Philly-based band, Music For Headphones.  We watched them perform at Kung Fu Necktie on October 24th and they were incredible.  Having formed about 5 years ago, MFH has honed its’ sound and put together numerous high quality LP’s and EP’s that must be heard.  Check out their bandcamp to do just that.  We love their Alternate​/​Preface EP!  Some of the best stuff around.  

Made up of a bassist, keyboardist, drum machine/sampler and guitarist/lead vocals, MFH has an engaging sound that should satisfy most any taste.  Jonathan Allen (guitarist/vocalist), Greg Kinter (guitarist), Phil Watson (keyboardist) and Justin Gibbon (drummer) draw on influences such as Spiritualized, My Bloody Valentine, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols, Secret Machines, The Warlocks, Spacemen 3, Julian Cope, Luna, SWANS, Jesus and Marychain, Velvet Underground, Galaxie 500, Joy Division, and Neu!.  We would say their sound is an amalgam of these and more.   They buck trends and follow their own magical musical path to a land of diverse sound and space.

Here is some video from their most recent KFN performance.  Please note the one video contains two songs which ran into each other.

Certainly not pyrite, Fool’s Gold put on a 24 karat performance at KFN as the September 20th headliner.  This Los Angeles collective was formed in 2007 around the talents of Luke Top (vocalist and bassist) and Lewis Pesacov (lead guitarist) to explore musical genres such as Congolese, Ethiopian, Eritrean and Malian Rock music. The remaining influences are Krautrock, Hebrew, and 80’s influenced pop music, combining to create a glorious collection of sounds that comes through in live performances and recordings.  Those concerned about being lost in the translation need not worry as the influences are worked effortlessly into music most anyone could enjoy.

Playing songs from their 2009 and 2011 LP’s, Fool’s Gold was a top notch act to catch having played on such hollowed grounds as The Hollywood Bowl, The Summerstage in Central Park NYC and The Black Sessions in Paris as well as having played events such as Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, Oya, Austin City Limits Music Festival and London Calling Fest (Amsterdam).

Check out some video from IMASOUND Record’s Fool’s Gold and their recent performance in Philly below:
