Frontier Ruckus in Eindhoven en Eeklo this weekend

27-02-2013

Ignoring the cliched trappings of antiqued rural fetish that seem to make tired the modern folk movement, and the urban love-fest which holds the majority of indie-culture enwrapped, Frontier Ruckus instead celebrates and insulates itself within a world that is obsessively suburban— childhoods realistic and recent enough to remain vividly smoldering with intense memory and graphic personal mythology. The world of oversized 90s obsolescence, pinning down weighty love and familial weirdness—elephantine copy machines in the home offices of the briefly affluent parents of grade-school friends, VHS cassettes rotting sun-bleached on early bedroom shelves, tragic birthday parties, aggressive soccer coaches, grandmothers' oxygen tanks and daytime-TV-time crosswords, porn stashes found behind Taco Bells.

This weekend they will be in Eindhoven and Eeklo:
02-03-2013: Eindhoven (NL) @ De Oude Rechtbank
03-03-2013: Eeklo (BE) @ N9 Villa with Elliott BROOD

"Eternity of Dimming" (their latest album out on Loose Records) is not of the world that now contains paper-thin computers and full-length records clocking in at 25 minutes. This is the gorgeous and inevitable disintegration of all that we once knew ourselves by, blurring into the graininess of gradual dusk. This is the Eternity of Dimming. Check out their new video for "Careening Catalog Immemorial":
