The 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival has released a second round of artists additions. The Chicago festival — slated for July 13-15 at Union Park — has added the following artists:
the Klaxons
Menomena
Deerhunter
Fujiya
Oxford Collapse
Beach House
Dan Deacon
Craig Taborn’s Junk Magic
For those of us not so familiar with these bands, Pitchfork has some succinct descriptions for each of them:
Atlanta psych-rock powerhouses Deerhunter, Portland-based experimental pop trio Menomena, dance-rock juggernaut Klaxons, sleek Brits Fujiya & Miyagi, Sub Poppers Oxford Collapse, neo-slowcore duo Beach House, fantastically insane one-man-band Dan Deacon, and boundary-breaking jazz ensemble Craig Taborn’s Junk Magic.
