GENTLEMEN Mumford & Sons puts Waverly on music map JOHN MOLSEED | PULSE WRITER

umford & Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road tours have been turning small towns and out-the-way locations into brief epicenters of the music world since 2009. In June, it’s Waverly’s turn. The GOTR tour hits the town June 19-20. The bands are the draw but the communities hosting them are the stars, promoters said. “It’s a celebration of the town as much as it’s a celebration of the bands,” said Josh Albrecht, of Madison House Presents. “Festival goers go into it with a mindset of embracing the community.” Waverly will host more than 30,000 fans and a number of internationally known acts. Albrecht was director of the Main Street or-

ganization in Dixon, Ill. when the Gentlemen of the Road tour came to town there. “Festival goers wanted to find the local places to eat, where local people hang out and wanted to get pictures with people from Dixon,” he said. “You don’t find people going to an arena for a show wanting to get a picture with a food vendor at the arena.” The musicians also embrace the concept of taking in what makes each stop unique, Albrecht said. “It’s always nice to see something that isn’t what you see all the time,” said Rupert Jarvis, Maccabees bassist. Jake Orrall of Jeff the Brotherhood played at a GOTR stopover in Bristol, Tenn. “The energy overall is great,” he said. “It was

a memorable time.” Residents won’t forget this event, Albrecht said. Former residents might want to time a return trip to town, schedule a class reunion or visit family just to be part of the experience. “Tell everybody this is the time to come back to Waverly,” he said. The festival grounds are on the Wartburg campus in Waverly. Festival passes are $199 and available at www.gentlemenoftheroad. com/stopovers/waverly. Downtown Waverly will also have live music and vendors. Admission to the downtown area is $5. See page 8 for the downtown stage lineup.

‘Wilder Mind’ ditches folk for indie rock

he biggest news leading up to Mumford & Sons’ newest album, Wilder Mind, has been the group’s departure from a folk sound and embrace of indie rock. Although their new sound doesn’t forge into any new musical territory, for them, it’s a big change. Musically, Wilder Mind is a solid rock album that shows they don’t need banjo to create the emotional build-ups that propelled Mumford to international stardom. Many of the songs, including The Wolf, Just Smoke and Only Love, feature the swelling builds that Mumford & Sons are known for.

4 PULSE

Marcus Mumford seems to have a message for fans upset by the change in Ditmas, one of the album’s more ordinary sounding rock songs. “Don’t tell me that I’ve changed because that’s not the truth,” Mumford sings. “This is all I ever was.” The swelling energy and volume in some of the songs is vintage Mumford, even if it doesn’t include vintage string instruments. However, Wilder Mind lacks the same energy and impact their debut album Sigh No More carried. It’s in the lyrics where Wilder Mind falls short of packing an emotional wallop. The lyrics for most of the songs don’t offer the bile and

elegant phrasing of Mumford’s earlier work. Monster has what seems like an obligatory f-bomb and is one of the more forgettable tracks. What is most impressive is how well signature Mumford and

Sons sounds blend with echoing electric guitars and synthesizers. In Only Love and Snake Eyes, the jangling electric guitar seems to serve as a stand-in for rolling banjo licks. While it’s clear Mumford & Sons’ new sound is vastly different, rock and folk circles overlapped long before they came along. While not groundbreaking rock and roll, the group has shown they are adept at adapting. But, there’s still plenty of their signature energy and song crafting that loyal fans will enjoy it too. — John Molseed, Pulse

JEFF the Brotherhood adds bassist and drummer to tour JOHN MOLSEED | PULSE WRITER

EFF the Brotherhood’s new album, Wasted on the Dream, features a full, heavy sound. It has added layers, sounds and guest artists (including Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson on Black Cherry Pie). That’s not new for one of their studio albums. What is new is that they bring that full sound on tour now. “We got really bored playing as a two-piece,” said Jake Orrall, one of two brothers who make up the core of JEFF the Brotherhood. The group is touring with a full band, including a bass player and drummer. “Live, you’re just left to what you have to work with on stage,” Orrall said. “Now we’re doing full-on guitar with solos and cool licks and everything.” Assembling a group of musicians to go on the tour wasn’t difficult, Orrall said. Being based in Nashville didn’t hurt the effort, he added. “It’s easy to find people who play in Nashville,” he said. “Pretty much everyone there plays something.” The Waverly stopover isn’t the JEFF the Brotherhodd’s first brush with Iowa. Their album tour recently brought them to Des Moines. “It was actually totally insane,” Orrall said of the show. “It’s one of the best shows of the tour so far.” They have also played in Iowa City and Grinnell. Their song U Got the Look is featured in the film Cedar Rapids (which was actually filmed in Michigan, so that connection might be a bit of a stretch). Although JEFF the Brotherhood is touring on their album, which was released in March, joining the Gentlemen of the Road tour was an easy call, he added. The GOTR road shows fit around their album tour, Orrall said. “It’s a huge, huge thing,” he said. “I mean Mumford & Sons is one of the biggest bands in the world. “When you play in a band and one of the biggest bands in the world asks you to play with them, you say yes.” People attending the GOTR tour stops also get to see bands they might not necessarily travel to see. For the Brotherhood, playing in front of a large crowd was also an incentive to fit the stopovers into the band’s tour schedule. The stopover events themselves also have an appeal for traveling musicians, Orrall said. “You get to see a town you’d normally never visit.”

THE MACCABEES

Gentlemen’s agreement JOHN MOLSEED | PULSE WRITER

t certain points in some relationships, both sides eventually stop returning favors and instead agree to call each other friends who just do nice things for each other. That’s the Maccabees and Mumford & Sons. Shortly after musicians from each group met and before Mumford released their international hit album, Sigh No More, the Maccabees were on an upswing of their own from their second album and invited Mumford & Sons on their tour. “They’re very, very lovely boys,” said Rupert Jarvis, Maccabees’ bassist. “They are very kind to us.” Now, the Maccabees are looking forward to joining their fellow U.K.-based musicians on Mumford’s Gentlemen of the Road tour. Despite their success at home, the Maccabees haven’t

quite fully broken into the U.S. market. “If you’re a British band and you’re trying to make it in America, you need to tour for months and months, and that gets very expensive and very difficult,” Jarvis said. The group has played sell-out shows in larger cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. But the key to success in the U.S. is to bring their music beyond those cities, Jarvis said, and the GOTR tour does just that. “I think it’s a good thing we’re going to play smaller towns,” Jarvis said. “We can always play New York, Chicago, Los Angeles.” Regardless of location, the band is anxious to get on the road. The group has been working on a new studio album, Marks to Prove It, set for release in July. This is the first time the Maccabees have hit

the U.S. as an album is being released. Getting out of the studio and playing new material for an appreciative audience has been a breath of fresh air, Jarvis said. “When you’re locked in the studio – all five of us – and the only feedback you’re getting is from each other, if someone’s not in a good mood it can be very demoralizing.” Jarvis said he appreciates the invitation to play on the tour. “It’s a good vibe. It’s all about the bands hanging out backstage and the crowd.” Jarvis said he looks forward to seeing parts of the U.S. off the main road and meeting the people there. “We’re just very excited,” he said. “It’s a long way for us to come so we might as well make the most of it.”

Cedar Falls brewer tapped for festival JOHN MOLSEED | PULSE WRITER

entlemen of the Road planners say they’ll bring the banners, the music and fans at the Waverly stopover June 19-20. Everything else is local, including the beer. GOTR planners had their eye on Cedar Falls brewery Single Speed to provide local flavor to the festival before brewery owner Dave Morgan even knew the festival was coming to the area. Friends who were excited about the music lineup messaged him to check out the event website. Morgan found his brewery and logo on the official GOTR site. “I figured my chances of serving beer there were pretty good at that point,” Morgan said. Single Speed’s Equatorial American pale wheat ale will be available at the festival beer tent in downtown Waverly alongside selections from Chicago-based Goose Island Brewing Co. The taps at the GOTR stopover

aren’t the only things Goose Island and Single Speed have in common. Morgan and Goose Island founder John Hall are both University of Northern Iowa alums — Morgan in 2002, Hall in 1965. Goose Island, which opened in 1988 as a Chicago brewpub, was one of the pioneers of the U.S. craft beer revolution. Morgan, who opened in Single Speed in late 2012, is just getting started. “We’re at different points in our brewing lives,” Morgan said. Under Hall’s leadership, Goose Island grew to become one of the more recognizable brands in the craft beer industry. “If we could follow the path he’s been on, that’d be all right by me,” Morgan said. To serve more than 30,000 expected festival goers, Morgan looked to Back Pocket Brewing Co. in Coralville to help him produce a big enough batch.

Morgan has collaborated and contracted with the brewery in the past and expects good results from the team at Back Pocket. Cooperation among micro craft brewers isn’t uncommon, he said. “At some levels it’s a competitive business and at the macro level, cutthroat,” he said. “But that doesn’t really translate to craft micro breweries.”

The specialbrewed single Speed beer for the Gentlemen of the Road tour is an American pale wheat ale. It’s a wheat beer that has been dry hopped with Amarillo and Citra hops for a fresh, tropical flavor to balance the malty sweet wheat grain flavor, said Dave Morgan, Single Speed Brewing Co. founder. “We named it Equatorial after the equator because we’re going after a very tropical flavor,” he said. By dry hopping the beer at the end of the brew cycle, the beer will be low on IBUs (international bitterness units) and heavy on flavor and aroma. “It’s not the most economical way (to add hops), but the result is worth it,” Morgan said.

BRAZILIAN 2WINS 4YOU

ive, the Brazilian 2wins’ energy, enthusiasm and joy are contagious. The extent of their delight while performing is equally matched by Walter and Wagner Caldas’ talents. The twins came to Iowa from Brazil to study music at the University of Northern Iowa and quickly found a following. Their debut album has been a long time coming and is arguably overdue. Although studio recordings generally don’t have the same energy as live performances, 4You has much of what makes the Brazilian 2wins so fun to watch. It features their musical prowess with screaming fast fiddle, ringing ukulele and a fat, booming bass. It features a fun cover of Wonderful World

JOHN MOLSEED | PULSE WRITER

— and Wagner’s spot-on impression of Louis Armstrong’s vocals. However, it won’t have their infectious smiles, jumping, back flips and the rooster-comb mohawk bassist Riley Sheetz rocks out for shows. That is perhaps one of the strengths of the album. It’s actually hard to concentrate on just the music when the Brazilian 2wins perform. Without stage antics, the album puts the 2wins’ music front and center. In The Monster, listeners can focus on Walter’s abilities on violin from the soft, smooth tones in the intro that build to his furious fiddling. Sheetz gets a bass solo in Asa Branca. It also gives them a chance to go low, slow and hypnotic in Fore Casey with spooky effects and a melancholy intro.

That doesn’t mean their fun demeanor doesn’t bleed through. The optimistic reggae-style beat of YOLO captures the 2wins’ fun persona. Done by anyone else, YOLO, as a refrain for a song, would come across as pop slogan-based pabulum to be skipped over. From the 2wins, it’s catchy and disturbingly infectious. However, it is a little odd coming after a somewhat serious but uplifting opening track, Parradao, which includes samples of a speech about human imagination and the power of propaganda to subdue imagination. There’s nothing wrong with either song, but their placement on the album might not be the best. 4You is a fantastic, long-awaited debut. It captures their musical talent and their

optimistic and affectionate essence about as much as a recording can.

HOT CHIP WHY MAKE SENSE?

ot Chip doesn’t make bad records. Even though this one, their sixth, is a beauty, it’s hard to compare it to the playful, dance-floor fodder of 2012’s In Our Heads or the plaintive, B-side rich complexity of 2010’s One Life Stand. But their excellent sophomore effort, 2006’s The Warning, and outstanding follow-up in 2008, Made in the Dark, feel like the perfect companions to Why Make Sense? as a Hot Chip trilogy of masterpieces.

True to form, these maturing pop savants nail that late-night dance niche and imbue it with emotion, humanity, nuance and creativity.

It’s true, ’90s house-inspired disco pop is considerably “in.” But main Hot Chip members Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor have been dancing around that moment in time’s pleasures since 2004. It’s evidenced in the exquisite female screams of Need You Now and the visitor from Huarache Lights.

SAMUEL LOCKE WARD THE COMPLETE MONDAY SINGLES CLUB

amuel Locke Ward is one of Iowa’s most prolific and talented musicians. The Complete Monday Singles Club is a 38-song compilation of recordings released every Monday starting November last year. The result is an avant-garde work that is part punk, part rock, part noise art and all original. The songs vary from a little more than a minute to about five minutes in length. Two exceptions are the epic compilation remix of samples from many of the songs, Standing on the Stairway of Forever, which runs more than 14 minutes, and the 40second final track, Death of a Singles Club, eulogizing the project. The album is strange. The songs are fun. Some are difficult to listen to unless you’re

in the right mood. Some, such as New Beater, are loud, layered and complex. Some, like Stuck, are sparse. Even the simpler songs are layered with odd lyrics, double meanings or a theme discordant with the sound. Fire, on disc two, features Ward and a fun, jaunty banjo with doomladen lyrics: “All you’ve ever love and all you’ve ever known is in flames.”

ow Big, How Blue, How Beautiful counts as scaling back for Florence & the Machine. It’s a little less big (there is more breathing room here than on 2009’s Lungs or 2011’s Ceremonials, although the tone, with many brassy fanfares, is still triumphant) and a little less blue — aside from the terrific Ship to Wreck, Florence Welch mostly resists her impulse to inundate the songs with water imagery. But it’s a little more beautiful: Various Storms & Saints and St. Jude contain Welch’s most introspective and restrained performances. How Big may be Florence & the Machine’s most cohesive album, but the highs aren’t quite as high or as ubiquitous as they were on Lungs and Ceremonials.

Shrieking vocals, discordant piano and confusing noises in Pretty Pink Pills are not for a morning listen before coffee. Others, such as All I Need, have a mainstream rock sound that would have broad appeal. Ward’s live performances feature the same varied sounds and styles with bouts of noise art. The Singles Club captures much

JUNE 26

Dope When a geek and his friends (one of whom is the porter from Grand Budapest Hotel!) end up with a backpack full of drugs after a party, they very quickly realize they’re treading in unfamiliar waters. Infinitely Polar Bear Manic-depressive Mark Ruffalo moves in to his ex-wife’s place to take care of their daughters while she goes off to Columbia. Fine, but the title is too precious by half and I don’t buy Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana together. Manglehorn An old locksmith (Al Pacino) not over the death of his wife invites a little girl into his big white van and gives her a stuffed animal. This sounds like an episode of Law & Order: SVU to me, not a heart-warming movie.

Max A dog deployed to Afghanistan gets adopted by his handler after a traumatic experience. If you don’t see this movie, the Un-American Activities Committee will probably be knocking on your door. You’ve been warned.

Ted 2 The living teddy bear is back for more hijinks. This time he has to prove he’s a person so he can be a parent with his new wife, which is just all sorts of weird to start with. And I’m so mad they spoiled the F. Scott Fitzgerald joke in a commercial.

Big Game A teen camping in the woods helps rescue the president when Air Force One crashes nearby. Samuel L. Jackson plays the POTUS; I bet he has had it with these mother*cough*ing woods around his mother*cough*ing plane.

The Little Death Apparently it’s the summer of the sex comedy, so take this in with The Overnight as a double feature. This one explores, in pretty explicit detail, the fetishes of some couples trying to keep the spark alive. Go find the poster for this movie, because it is perfect.

The Overnight A chance meeting at a park leads to a dinner play date for Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godreche. But after the kids are put to bed, things get weeeeeeeird. Kinky weird. But funny weird!

JULY 10 Self/less Gandhi (OK, fine, Ben Kingsley) is dying, so he has his mind transferred into a new body. Ryan Reynolds’ body. Lucky bastard. But when he starts remembering his host body’s old life, whose mind will win out? The Gallows Something bad happened during a school play 20 years ago — gonna guess an “accidental” hanging, based on the name here — so a new crop of students wants to honor the tragedy by doing the show. Everyone dies, I’m guessing. Tangerine I assumed the title would also be the name of the transgender prostitute searching for the boyfriend/pimp who done wronged her. It is not; she is Sin-Dee.

Leave it to Nintendo to come up with a twist on the shooter that feels fun and fresh, if you can still call it a shooter. In Splatoon, turf war matches are decided by

which team of squid kids control the most territory on the map, denoted by coloring the ground with the ink from your weapons. This takes the focus off annihilating your opponents — though taking them out is definitely helpful — which changes the entire way the game is approached. If you want to be a pacifish, you can be. The Wii U GamePad is the perfect control setup, combining the twin sticks for running and looking with the gyro controls for fine aiming. Each weapon type requires a different method of attack. Rollers are great for covering the ground in front of you, but they have trouble coloring ramps and aren’t good in a firefight. Charged weapons are

great for sniping and creating paths for your squid transformation to swim through with the long stripes they fire, but if someone pops out of the ink in front of you, you’re gonna get splatted. Then you’ve gotta pick your gear. I’m hoping they’ll add a way to mix and match the look you want — no, I am not buying the gross gray college sweatshirt — with the abilities you want. Having ink that recharges faster or bombs with a bigger blast radius can make a big difference, and I don’t want to sacrifice my freshy-fresh style for function. (Priorities, people!) And once you’re kitted out, you’ve got to decide your strategy. Do you go after your opponents or focus on inking the area around you? Do you play a grudge match, holding fiercely onto your half of the map and fighting at the margins, or do you plunge recklessly ahead into enemy territory?

This works well on some maps and not so good on others, but I’m learning as I go. And with no voice chat — something I don’t think would add much — at least I’m not getting called a n00b every time I get splatted. The map selection changes every day, as does the gear available for purchase; Nintendo would really like you to turn this on and play it every day.

If Splatoon was any less fun, it would be difficult to give it a full-throated endorsement. Paying $60 for the amount of content available at launch was something of a leap of faith. But I find the multiplayer so entertaining — and there’s a single-player mode that’s been pretty cool too — that I’d be OK with only the addition of some more maps. Extra game modes are just colorful icing on the salmon cake. I’ve legitimately found it hard to put the controller down, because what can one more match hurt?

Rocksteady is back in the driver’s seat — in this case, the Batmobile’s seat, which you can drive around Gotham City for the first time. I’ll admit a lot of the improvements, like using objects around you in combo attacks against enemies, sound like they’ll make a fairly slick system even better. Oh, and you can play as Harley Quinn in the DLC! We’ve jumped back from the Origins prequel to a year after the events of Arkham City.
