Giant Robot chats extensively with Street Eaters! On tour now...


Martin Wong from Giant Robot sits down with Street Eaters to talk about their new album, Grace Slick and using a bike rack as a cop deterrent...

MW: Many duos bring in guest musicians, accompaniment, and so on, but you two seem to relish your mano-a-mano musical relationship. Were you tempted one iota to add extra voices, instruments, or other stuff?

MM: We actually thrive on the minimalist aspects of being a two-piece, but one of the extra CD-only tracks (“No Time”) was written as a three-piece vocal harmony, so we had our friend Alanna Paoli (from Songs For Moms) sing the third part.

Tender Forever "No Snare" out today! Grab "Like The Snare That's Gone" from Giant Robot


No Snare, Melanie Valera's third full length album, moves away from some of the more exuberant dance oriented songs of past years into a darker and more melancholy direction. Maybe it's her current residence in the damp and dirty Pacific Northwest, maybe its a little adulthood. Whatever it is, we get a deeper, denser sound. These songs push through the forest as the evening comes, dripping wet, the lights of a little house up ahead. What No Snare retains is Valera's emotional clarity and eloquence. We are always invited to her world, feeling what she feels without exception. Valera keeps her lyrics light on their feet, moving with ease around the complexities of her compositions, her vocals rolling hard with the strength of conviction.
