Music news TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone plays the Earl Tues., Oct. 13
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 1:15 AM
When not singing and playing guitar for critical darlings TV on the Radio, Kyp Malone is a perennial songwriter whose work – as a solo artist and with the band Iran – has remained a sleeper. Malone's latest, self-titled offering under the name RAIN MACHINE finds him spilling a mixed bag of jazz, bluegrass, funk and sometimes subdued, sometimes blistering guitar excursions. Naturally, this swan dive into free-form musical strumming lands on the personal, self-indulgent, humdrum side, but if you're patient, his eclectic palette and sobering voice and rhythms are rich with anti-pop depth. Neo-folk songstress Sharon Van Etten opens the show.
$15-$17. Tues., Oct. 13. 8:30 p.m. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-522-3950.
