Probabil mai toată lumea care mă știe aștepta să zic ceva despre Arms and Sleepers -ul de la Cluj. Inițial așa intenționam, dar m-am cam răzgândit după. De ce?! Pentru că o fost deosebit de frumos și de personal pentru mine. Mi-o plăcut foarte foarte mult, abia aștept să îi văd iar și un lucru e clar, data viitoare nu mă limitez la un singur concert din turneu. Ah și sper ca Ben să vină în curând pe tărâmurile astea cu a lui trupă, Uzi & Ari . Astăzi, pe scurt, despre prima [...]

I will be here I've been waiting for this event for a few months, ever since I knew it's gonna happen. I have kept my calm (well, not quite in the past few days) but now I'm anxious as hell and I simply cannot wait for tonight. I've said this before, I'm stressing it again: try to see these guys live, they are awesome! Just to make an idea, a few days ago in Poland Filed [...]

Arms & Sleepers have announced their next album The Organ Hearts is available for pre-order . The album will have less guitars and more electronics according to the release blurb: Unlike Matador, the band's sophomore effort, the new record features significantly less guitar and focuses more on electronics and drum-heavy compositions. Pulsing beats and driving synths replace the lush glockenspiels and melodicas of the previous album, while concise song structures and haunting melodies remain. People that pre-order will also get an exclusive digital E.P. sometime this summer. [...]

Pentru că de multe ori unele sentimente îs greu de exprimat prin propriile cuvinte, lumea apelează la surogate: poezie, gesturi, muzică, etc. Nu trebuie să fii îndragostit ca să ai deja câteva piese extraordinare pe tema asta, despre care să îți dorești ca cineva, la un moment dat, să se gândească instant la tine când le aude. Iar următoarele sunt ale mele...piesele care mi se par cele mai frumoase declarații de dragoste care le-am auzit. Și nu mai are rost să zic nimic, versurile-s suficient top 5 #22: perfect love songs [...]

Nostalgia for the Absolute Arms & Sleepers have just released their 12th album, Nostalgia For The Absolute ( preview and buy ). Wordless, full of dark winter images, this release seems meant for quiet self-reflection while sipping scotch ( Ardbeg 2010 for me today thanks). The tracks are short and fade in and out as if breathing gently. Although the tone is dark, it is never depressing (Think fresh snow and icicles rather than gray clouds and endless rain). This release is full of hope. Spring is just around the corner and [...]

Sudden events, then the holidays, then the post holiday daze pretty much kept me away from here. But I'm back, with a bit of a recap. Music releases wise, I've already done some recaps on Babylon Noise . For the non-Romanian readers here, I'm sorry you can't get all I wrote. Top 50 albums released in 2010 here , and something about the EPs, Romanian albums and concerts here (the important info - names and such - is in bold). Also. 2010 is the year I discovered some new to [...]

Here is my attempt to distill a years worth of music down to a reasonable list. I was planning to do a top 10 but 25 was the smallest I could whittle it down to. Amiina - Puzzle Arms & Sleepers - Matador Remixed Baths - Cerulean Beach House - Teen Dream Blackbird Blackbird - Summer Heart Caribou - Swim Cherry Ghost - Beneath this burning shoreline Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul Efterklang - Magic [...]

Arms and Sleepers Arms and Sleepers Quelque chose m'a frappée hier soir. L'année musicale 2009 m'avait marquée par une ribambelle d'albums absolument sensationnels, que vous pouvez retrouver là-bas , tandis que cette année est une année de morceaux, de titres, de chansons, peu importe comment vous aimez les appeler. Peut-être que ma façon de consommer la musique a évolué, ou peut-être que c'est tout simplement une année comme ça [...]

Arms & Sleepers Contest Arms & Sleepers have started a campaign to increase the number of their fans on Facebook. I cannot say enough good things about these guys. Every release perfectly balances a sense of the familiar while still pushing new boundaries. Their online store donates profits to charity. SO! More eyes mean more sales, better attendance at shows and yet more people spreading the good word about Arms & Sleepers. In return for hitting their target of 4,000 fans, they will make available a special Free EP. Good for [...]

Arms & Sleepers Arms & Sleepers inhabit a hazy world filled with melodies mutated from post-rock , ambient and cinematic moments plus beats that draw from downtempo and ever so occasionally from glitch. Their world is dark, beautiful and very addictive. More recent material (Check out Matador and Matador Remixed) has begun to include the use of sung lyrics to great effect. Arms & Sleepers often run special deals on their merchant store linked below and throughout 2010 they are donating profits to fight hunger. [...]

Luna asta, în loc de un top 5 pe 5 si unul pe 25, apar ambele azi. Ăsta, și unul mai pe seară. De ce?! Pentru că azi e o zi mai specială, e ziua fratelui meu. Diferența de vârstă între noi 2 este de 2 ani și ceva. Deci am crescut împreună, întâi pe stăzile pline de praf de la bunică-mea, apoi în camera care am împărțit-o pănă la liceu, iar în studenție într-un apartament. Când am intrat eu la liceu am schimbat pumnii și certurile pe o relație din ce în ce mai bună. Pentru că [...]

Again another recent introduction to music library, the Arms and Sleepers makes me want to see them perform live. Given the austere cinematic aural experience their post-rock-influenced music can generate, it definitely is the distinctive quality they have in the genre. Arms and Sleepers also toured with another favorite of mine, The American Dollar , for an event called Split/Signal . They provide the musical scores for silent short films and these guys ranked as one of the most enthralling performances in [...]
It's one month today since the Arms and Sleepers gig . I still have a huge dumb smile every time I hear one of their songs, especially if it's one from the setlist. ( Simone by Arms and Sleepers ) Filed under: cherry treats , musics

post-rock // cinematic ambient The cinematic aural experience that post-rock can create is really quite unique to the genre. Arms and Sleepers have previously toured with Aurgasm favorite, The American Dollar , but they were spotted back when I went to an event called Split/Signal . There, bands performed live, providing score to silent short films. Unquestionably, Arms and Sleepers' performance was the most stunning. The songs below come from their older work; vocals fans may enjoy their newest release, Matador . Equally divine in both [...]

Last november I was stuck on Matador , the new Arms and Sleepers album, so I started to share them with my friends, buddies and all sorts of acquaintances, so they'll hear the lovely music these boys make. I've mentioned them around here before. About two weeks ago, the rumours of an Arms and Sleepers gig in Cluj started. I tried to keep calm the enthusiasm that was already building inside, so if it wouldn't be confirmed, I won't be too disappointed. One week before the event, the show was confirmed [...]
