music Noise Makers Storm Starters After a successful European tour, Portland’s Loch Lomond is barely catching its breath before heading back out on the road for a string of Northwest dates. “It’s great. I love to travel,” says Loch Lomond vocalist and songwriter Ritchie Young. Loch Lomond blends elements of British folk, psychedelic Americana and acoustic indie-rock into a sound reminiscent of other Northwest acts like Fleet Foxes. Unique instrumentation such as vibraphone and flute lead some to call Loch Lomond’s sound “chamber pop,” but Young disagrees. “We play pop music,” he insists. “We try to keep the music simple and really work on vocals and volume. We just have really good dynamics.” The band’s 2011 release Little Me Will Start A Storm plays like a group of grad students on a spirit walk through the ‘60s – pure pop hooks and crystalline harmonies in songs like “Blue Lead Fences” meet quirky ballads like “Blood Bank,” featuring chiming mandolins, string arrangements and a healthy appreciation for both American and European folk music. And when a bowed saw blade carries the melody of instrumental track “Water Bells,” it only seems right in Loch Lomond’s weird world. While touring Europe the band sold an exclusive EP called White Dresses and saved a few for Loch Lomond fans in the Northwest. “We are only selling them on this four-day tour. Just these shows. Then all gone,” entices Young. So don’t miss out. Loch Lomond plays with Dinosaur Feathers 8:30 pm Saturday, March 24, at Axe & Fiddle; $10. — William Kennedy Classifieds Page 26 Page 28 “If you want something predictable, play a keyboard,” says Kevin Spahn, aka Spark Applied to Powder. Spahn plays a custom Sidrassi organ, a bizarre electronic instrument that looks like a xylophone, responds to pressure rather than percussion, and features a seven-bar circuit board wired to randomly placed brass pins. With this instrument, Spahn produces a droning, pulsing, ambient music that sounds like demons inhabiting a Victrola — and it’s fucking cool. Within the genre of “experimental,” the range encompasses basically any empty space left over from what is characteristically defined as music: melody, chord progression, rhythm, structure, etc — from grindingly abrasive distortion, to garbled glitches, to broken walls-of-sound, to rakes scraping across sheet metal. “The umbrella of noise is huge,” says Spahn. “I follow my gear down the rabbit hole of its capabilities and try to get other avenues of sound to impact people.” During shows, rather than overwhelming people with hours of any one musician’s noise, Spahn’s sets tend to include multiple performers each playing shorter single pieces. “Eugene has a really well- developed, supportive noise scene and we put on shows together,” he says. Spark Applied to Powder plays with Chiefkirk, Hobby Knife, Thee Source vs. Ketamine Fight Club and Cohosh 7 pm Sunday, March 25, at New Zone Gallery; $5 suggested donation. — Patrick Newson Page 29 Page 30 TO PLACE A CLASSIFIED AD: CALL 541.484.0519 EMAIL classy@eugeneweekly.com WEB classifi eds.eugeneweekly.com FAX 541.484.4044 WRITE 1251 Lincoln St., Eugene, OR 97401 VISIT Our Offi ce 8a-5p M-F LINE ADS $11/3 Lines, additional lines $4.00.
