- Find of The Week Vol. 2 No. 8: U.S. Royalty
U.S. Royalty stems from where all the other “U.S. Royalty” are, Washington D.C. The band is comprised of brothers John and Paul Thornley along with friends Luke Adams on drums and Jacob Michael on bass. To date the band has released one EP in 2009 called Midsommar and is prepping for the release of their [...]Переслать - You Don't Belong Here, by Sunlight Ascending
by Fred (email|facebook|linkedin) The Silent Ballet has published my review of their You Don’t Belong Here, here. In short: This sophomore effort is burdened with expectations, and only partially fulfills the promise of the band’s debut. Even the title seems to be directed inward. This is no surprise, as much has been made of their [...]Переслать - Born Under a Veil, by The Ruby Spirit
by Fred (email|facebook|linkedin) Toronto bachabilly five-piece (formerly Sadie May Crash) tendered their latest offering on September 4. Somehow the whole thing recalls that scene in Jesus’ Son, when FH follows the stranger with the snakeskin pattern leather and bare chest out of the laundromat. Christened Born Under a Veil, this is a collision of decadent [...]Переслать - Cold War Kids – "Louder Than Ever"
We’ve heard “Royal Blue” and now we get “Louder Than Ever”, which in my opinion is a far superior track from the upcoming album Mine Is Yours. The opening verse had me wondering but once the hook of the chorus is first heard you’ll get sucked into a track that doesn’t let up until the [...]Переслать - "A Darkness Rises Up," by Broken Records
by Fred (email|facebook|linkedin) From their recent release Let Me Come Home. Video is right here: (home|myspace|facebook|twitter|last.fm) Filed under: New Releases, Video Tagged: A Darkness Rises Up, Broken Records, Let Me Come HomeПереслать - Loves Are Like Empires, by Glissando
by Fred (email|facebook|linkedin) It’s right up our alley: a low-key, DIY ethic. A touch of modern classical. A touch of noise. Experimental. Accessible. Well-traveled. Hail from Leeds. Siren frontwoman. Band members founded an independent record label which now has a full stable of talented artists on board. Indeed, it’s so up our alley that surfing [...]Переслать - The Primary
As a Dallas-based music blog it is our fiduciary responsibility to give props to local acts. And as far as Denton goes, it's a pretty small place in comparison to Dallas and Fort Worth. But it's a university town, and the university has a Jim Dandy of a music program, so this sleepy little town [...]Переслать - The Americans
There couldn’t be a name much more unassuming than The Americans. The single word can bring to mind a slew of imagery, sounds, and emotions. Now take that imagery, sound and emotion and put it in a blender and hit “Puree”. This New York City sextet doesn’t hold a steady course. Through The White EP, [...]Переслать - Science and Sorcery, by Wolf & Cub
by Fred (email|facebook|linkedin) What’s not to like about Science and Sorcery? It doesn’t get any more 2010 than this (if you’re asking, that’s intended as a compliment). The Australian quartet runs straight-ahead songwriting, twelve-noon vocals, and jab-to-the-mouth beats alongside spontaneous drum circles, acid rock bona fides, the occasional gypsy sting, and mid-school decadence. It’s excellent [...]Переслать - This is about as close to a Nevermind-era Nirvana reunion that we'll ever see
by Fred (email|facebook|linkedin) Stereogum has the goods on the next Foo Fighters release: Dave Grohl asked his former Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic and Nevermind producer Butch Vig to help him out on the new "old school analogue" Foo Fighters album…. Grohl has only said [Novoselic] "came in the other night and played bass on a [...]Переслать - Between a Zen garden and the bog: Izumi Kimura, Asymmetry
A recital CD of Japanese and Irish piano music might sound at first like an odd prospect. But for Japanese-born, Irish-resident pianist Izumi Kimura it's an opportunity to contrast subtle, eternal naivety with colour, humour and emotion. Musically the two … Continue readingПереслать - Contemporary Music on YouTube: collection updated
I’ve made a number of new admissions to the Rambler’s collection of YouTube videos of contemporary music. These include the following: Berberian – Stripsody, performed by Diana Gamet. Czernowin – Seed 1 and Seed 2, performed by Either/Or ensemble. Kurtág … Continue readingПереслать - Overtones, overtures and over here
While we’re on the subject of American music seen and heard from a British living room, my first article for New Music Box is now online, and is a little essay on the experiences of some of the American composers … Continue readingПереслать - Radically raw: Pierluigi Billone
News comes in of a streaming broadcast of Pierluigi Billone’s music on Radio France Musique. The concert includes performances of Billone’s Mani.Long and the premiere of his Kosmoi, Fragmente, both performed by Ensemble L’Instant Donné, conducted by James Weeks. As … Continue readingПереслать - Innova round-up 2: Performer showcases
The first post in this series on innova's recent output threw up some interesting comments on the way that releases on innova (and many other labels like them) are funded. That is, through up-front payments by the artists releasing the … Continue readingПереслать - Old World Vulture
Artist: Old World Vulture Title: Old World Vulture Label: Self-released (Canada) Details: DL/CD. 6 tracks, 24 minutes. Links: http://oldworldvulture.ca/ Instrumental rock / post-rock (call it what you will) has largely been disappearing up its own arse for years now. Most of it is a catalogue of tired clichés – predictable chord progressions, tiresome arpeggios, plodding [...]Переслать - Haz – Above the Treeline
Artist: Haz Title: Above The Treeline Label: Herb, Scotland Details: DL/CD. 6 tracks, 23 minutes. Links: http://www.herbrecordings.com/haz.html Haz is a Scots expatriate who lives down under. Above the Treeline was conceived and recorded on the South Island of New Zealand last year and immediately struck me as the sound of someone in awe and in [...]Переслать - Remora – Mecha
Artist: Remora Title: Mecha Label: Silber, US Details: CD/DL. 16 tracks, 59 minutes. Links: www.silbermedia.com This is a lot different to anything else I’ve heard by Remora. The guitars have largely been jettisoned in favour of early eighties analogue synthesisers. Mecha is a concept album put together by Remora (aka Silber head-honcho Brian John Mitchell) [...]Переслать - Anti-austerity: an innova records round-up
Preamble As I look at this pile of CDs, I can't help thinking that even in these times of austerity and recession, at least one sector of the American creative industries can't be doing too badly, if productivity and diversity … Continue readingПереслать - ArnAck – To Mars
Artist: ArnAck Title: To Mars Label: Breathe, Mexico Details: DL. 6 tracks, 34 minutes. Free Download Links: http://breathe-comp.com To Mars is a free six tracker of low-key analogue electronica put together by a couple of Liège-based producers, Arnaud Rosoux & David Schreder. It’s strong material but without being too distinctive. The looped voice sample of [...]Переслать - IN STOCK NOW!
Переслать - Processes of Revelation: Liza Lim
My latest article for Sound and Music’s INTO Magazine is out, and it’s a sort of profile/introduction to Liza Lim and some of her recent music (flick through to page 26). A short article like this is nowhere near enough … Continue readingПереслать
