Three Fields - Wild Blue Yonder (Installed Worlds Label) Its a strange coincidence that I spent this whole Sunday morning listening to Birmingham producer Three Fields' back-catalogue, before he dropped, unannounced, a new two-track release, 'Waiting' on his Sound cloud page. Its a sound with which I'm becoming obsessed, lonely, 4am electronic music built from the distant sounds of industrialisation, equal parts earthly and Eno-esque as the depths of unimaginable space. Cold like the raw, barren, industrialised heathland of the Midlands, associated at least in my head with the night-time mystique of crop circles, fields and [...]
When we last heard from U.K.-bred, L.A.-based songstress Carina Round , she was releasing an EP as part of the Early Winters . She's been busy; Round has a full-length in the works for next spring — collaborators include Billy Corgan, Dave Stewart and Brian Eno — and she's guesting with Maynard James Kennan's Puscifer , with whom she will tour as a member and as the opening act. This year also saw the re-release of her 2001 debut "The First Blood Mystery. In advance of the new full-length, Round next week is releasing "The Last Time" [...]
While "Achtung Baby" still retains its brilliance, I am not sure for whom the Super Deluxe Edition is intended.
There's a lot of pork in Asheville, NC. Like, tons. Everywhere you go, they're advertising beef, BBQ, and, well, pork. It's sort of funny because there's also a lot of tofu. (Hey, vegans gotta eat something.) And yet it's this polarizing, yet mutual, relationship that exemplifies the town's unique persona. Oh, delightful food. But food bonds us. It's the one thing that anyone can agree upon (anorexics, religious fanatics excluded): We gotta eat. And with a weekend party like Moogfest , which essentially strangles the town for three long nights, the overall community of food is an [...]
Il y a bien une chose qui est sûr: Coldplay est un véritable colosse, un mammouth dans le marché du disque où se bataille des coléoptères. Et on peut le comprendre et admettre que ça ne tombe pas du ciel lorsqu'on repense aux très bons œufs qu'ils ont pondus, tel que Parachutes ou A Rush Of Blood To The Head . Mais là c'est différent et pour vous parler de leur dernier opus nommé Mylo Xyloto , je vais les nommer bêtement et simplement U2 . Oui c'est vrai, c'est [...]
Coldplay held a press conference yesterday to launch their new album Fido Dido, and Gordon went along . That it was in Madrid might have added to the allure. One of the big surprises was that Brian Eno tried hypnotising the band during the recording sessions: Bass player Guy Berryman admitted yesterday that the band have reached a stage where they are open to outrageous ideas from the talented team around them to tap into new writing veins. I'd have thought that was an admission they've more or less run out of steam, isn't it? [...]
"It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." - Abraham Maslow TL;DR – A software company lets you sound like you can play bitchin' guitar. Periphery fans may wring their hands, but Brian Eno probably wouldn't care. Justin thinks it's fine as [...]
Current pop overlords and B-Sides fave, Coldplay, have cleansed themselves of all the typical associations attached to them (i.e. following the footsteps of insert successful pop band of the 60/s/70's/80's ) and have decided to reboot their music and image. The result of which is their 5 th studio release, Mylo Xyloto . Initiallly, the album was to be arranged as a stripped down, acoustic driven album, but with the recording of their current single, "Paradise",the direction of the album changed to synth. Territory their album producer/collaborative composer, Brian Eno, is very familiar with. [...]
Esce oggi, lunedì 24 ottobre, il nuovo disco dei Coldplay "Mylo Xyloto" disponibile nei negozi tradizionali (in CD e in vinile) e in download digitale. Ma la notizia per i fans della band è che il disco sarà resentato ufficialmente mercoledì, 26 ottobre, a Madrid da una delle arene più famose della Spagna, Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas. La performance sarà trasmessa in streaming live a livello globale direttamente su www.youtube.com/coldplayVEVO e sarà disponibile tramite VEVO e tutte le applicazioni su YouTube per [...]
![[Introducing] – Fortune Howl](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3795624_lg.jpg)
Tweet This is one of those rare occasions where I can't draw from a bag of artists to compare to because this one happens to be a cannonball of everything that embodies the now, which ironically means a unique composite of nostalgia and digital manipulation. Ladies and gents, the Mozart of bedroom synths and electro, I give you Fortune Howl . Some of Fortune Howl's, AKA Bryce Linde's work can be placed among someone like multi-media artist and 21st century recyclist Cory [...]
1977: And Now For Something Completely Different . It was the most important single year in the history of modern music. The simple explanation always seems to simplify 1977 as the year Punk broke. In truth, there was [...]
Legendary punk club CBGB closed five years ago tomorrow. In its final week, the venue hosted a string of shows paying tribute its storied thirty year run, and it all culminated with a headlining ...

Brian Eno 's early 70's work after he departed Roxy Music is some of his most beloved. During those years, he created a number of seminal records that served to inform glam, the avant garde, and the experimental for years to come. Two of those records in particular, Here Come The Warm Jets and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy , yielded rock opuses the likes of which Eno has never achieved again. Studio masterpieces of colliding textures and stylistic juxtapositions, the records offer not only some of the most creative rock music [...]
Coldplay - Fifth studio album in just over a decade finds the U.K. band once again skillfully maneuvering through majestic rock anthems, hook-laden pop melodies and just enough artsy cred to keep the indie hip gatekeepers interested -- of course, selling nearly 3 million of their last album in the U.S. didn't hurt...working with famed composer/instrumentalist and producer Brian Eno -- who's helped raise the creative bar for U2 over the years -- the Chris Martin-led outfit doesn't so much reinvent as they do sonically shape-shift// Release : Mylo Xyloto (October 25, Capitol) // [...]
![[Introducing] – Canopies](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3779175_lg.jpg)
Tweet When I contacted Canopies about featuring them on this site I asked them for what they might consider some of their influences; they divided these into two groups: musical and non-musical. The former showed a musically well-versed and (culturally) diverse band with the likes of Brian Eno , the Davids ( Bowie and Byrne ), Yellow Magic Orchestra and Fela Kuti as strong stepping-stones. The latter did nothing but help further that image, with influences including (but not limited to, [...]
Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the re-release and of the glacial ambient masterpiece One River by acclaimed US producer Scott Solter . First released on Tell-All Records in 2005, One River sees Solter exploring the space between Brian Eno's seminal Music For Airports and William Basinski's contemporary classic The Disintegration Loops . The music sighs and aches beautifully, gradually transforming with subtlety and grace, lulling the listener into blissful reverie. Solter has produced, recorded, mixed and remixed numerous [...]
Last Sunday, we gave you a sneak peak at North Highlands' upcoming debut Wild One , which is due out October 18th. Judging by the sound of their lead single "Benefits," you may expect their tastes to hover in between Indie pop and folk. That would be a misguided notion, so we had the New York City outfit curate a mixtape that shows us what they are really about. The results could not have come out anymore diverse or eclectic. Here's what they had to say about it: We all listen to [...]
