As part of The Orchard's Creative Licensing team, we're always on the hunt for interesting covers. This month, we've assembled a playlist of some of of our favorite discoveries from the past year, including Albert Hammond, Jr. of The Strokes taking on the Big Star power-pop classic "Thirteen;"The Dandy Warhols' ...]]> text/html 2013-05-09T20:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4941994/rathborne-last-forgiven/
"Last Forgiven" is a new favorite. The track comes from NYC based artist Luke Rathborne in anticipation of his forthcoming LP, SOFT , which is set for release July 3rd. The album was produced by Emery Dobyns and Albert Hammond Jr. While you can definitely hear Hammond Jr's arrangement experience on some vertical qualities in "Last Forgiven", more than that, "Last Forgiven" has a timbre that ushers in the sound of summer and all the menacing fun in life that's yet to come. Rathborne performs May 14th in New York City at Glasslands, be there. [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-06T20:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4875907/youve-got-to-hear-this-comedown-machine/
After what seems like an eternity, the garage-rock group The Strokes have finally released their fifth studio album entitled Comedown Machine . The Strokes manage to keep their flair but seem to use the same battle plan by working everything around their lead singer Julian Casablancas. Yes, it does work out but most of the spotlight seems to stay on him. Comedown Machine probably has the best first half of music I have ever heard on an album. Almost every song is hard-hitting and the starting track "Tap Out" is no exception.The beginning of it has a [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-03T02:53:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4866687/the-strokes-ya-no-son-hype/
Comedown Machine s es una vuelta a sus primeros trabajos, no tan contundente, pero s uniforme. Inician muy rpido, despus bajan el ritmo, lo retoman nuevamente y al final descienden poco a poco. Una montaa rusa. Sobresale el trabajo en las vocales y el hecho de que los sintetizadores funcionan muy bien, hacen mucho ms ricas a las canciones, que se adhieren como chicle en el suelo.]]> text/html 2013-03-27T22:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4856387/exitmusic-rewards-albert-hammond-jr-blood-orange-and-more-playing/

Allow me to get nostalgic on you for a few moments: The Strokes were THE band of those heady years between youth and adulthood where we looked to our musical heroes for an escape from the oppression of our daily truths. College-aged and living in the shadow of 9/11, bands like The Strokes , Black Rebel Motorcycle Club , The White Stripes , and later the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the soundtrack to our Great Gatsby-like escape [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-25T10:04:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4850393/different-strokes-again-the-strokes-comedown-machine/
The Strokes have seen it all since the release ofs Is This It? all the way back in 2001: they'vebeen the coolest band in the world,picked up a plethora of awards andhave experienced both critical and commercial acclaim. But Julian Casablancas & co. weathered a long-running wave of expectancy in the run up to the release of their previous effort 2011s Angles. That, their fourth album, was expected to be a moment to rejoice in as the band returned to the form that some had begun to question after 2006s First Impressions Of Earth [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-19T16:46:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4840391/the-strokes-comedown-machine/

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. There are plenty of bands that prove this old adage The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, heck even The Spice Girls, just to name a few. But theres something impressive about artists being able to branch off from the group and prove themself as a solo star. With yesterdays news of a Destinys Child reunion in the works, it seemed only fitting to tip the hat to Sasha Fierce and her fellow solo acts that struck my fancy. Theres a Mikela mixtape staple (Aimee Man, duh), [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-15T20:09:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4621853/some-strokes-black-keys-johnny-depp-kesha-and-more-pay/
"This is a lot of Alpha energy to wrangle," Guster's Ryan Miller said in testament to Alex Levy and the Cabin Down Below Band's work last night. "This is a hard thing to organize." And that's probably true of most every tribute concert of this nature, as it has probably been true of the decade of Petty Fest's preceding last night's. But for this debut Los Angeles installment, the nature of those Alphas was distinct, peculiar, and fitting the environment. The NYC jam last month had Devendra Banhart. Last night had Johnny Depp in a feathered hat for six songs. [...]]]> text/html 2012-07-26T09:46:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4411889/news-studio-tour-of-converse-rubber-tracks-with-albert-hammond/

Oh hey... what up? Did you all have a wonderful winter season break? Mine was good but not all that relaxing. House hunting can be a real pain in the ass. Probably not as hard as real hunting, especially if you are using spears and success was your only chance of survival. But for a fat lazy American like me house hunting is hard. Can't wait to get that new Lego Feet! Just so you know, the Pearl Jam doc is on Netflix to stream, just so you know.

In the spirit of the winter season, whether your celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa or any other holiday I may have forgotten about, chances are that over the past month youve heard your fair share of traditional Christmas music. While some people might eat that stuff up as they prepare for the holidays, we here at the TBT find it hard to cope with sometimes in the wake of all good music holiday alternatives that do exist, but seem to go unnoticed in mainstream media. That being said, it is my honor to bring you our [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-22T12:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3945751/muzutv-interviews-up-and-coming-band-the-minutes/

Hace un buen tiempo Csar les estuvo hablando de lo nuevo de The Vaccines . Se trataba de "Tiger Blood" que, curiosamente, haba sido producido nada menos que por Albert Hammond Jr. que, para el que no lo conoce, es el guitarrista de rulos de The Strokes (s, ese que estuvo en rehabilitacin ms veces que dedos tenemos en el cuerpo). El track fue grabado en Nueva York (ciudad natal de Hammond Jr.) el pasado verano. El resultado es una cancin muy corta pero potente con todo lo [...]]]>
