Another week, another set of new releases - with this week headlined by none other than R.E.M.'s Accelerate , which is currently sitting on my desk, ready to be listened to at some point this week while i'm at work. A few other releases that i'm anxious to check out include Sun Kil Moon's April , EPs from both The Electric Pop Group and Annuals , Mono in VCF's self-titled debut, and Yelle's Pop-Up . There's some other stuff that piques my interest, but [...]
Aunque ahora esté de moda criticar las listas con lo mejor del año, en Planeta Pop es una tradición que se va a conservar. Así que llegó el momento de hacer balance y recordar la música favorita de los últimos doce meses. Lo mejor de 2007 en dos ediciones especiales y a través de una lista de 60 discos que únicamente refleja la opinión del programa. Esta semana escucharemos del 60 al 31. La semana que viene sonarán los 30 primeros. Y situados en esta segunda mitad de la lista los discos de The Octopus Project, Triángulo de [...]
In the present days of self-production, the fact that Bryan Scary recorded his debut The Shredding Tears alone in his Brooklyn apartment is nothing to write home about (with the help of Jeremy Black from Apollo Sunshine on drums). What IS impressive about the album is its sound: its grandiose pomposity, an inherit "louder than thou" sound that's a result of the composition, and not shear volume or over the top instrumentation. It's got a piano driven dramatic presence that reminds you of Queen 's theatrical rock and [...]
I have learned many interesting things about people through lively music discussion. One would be the form of desperation individuals often find themselves in, looking up random artists on Wikipedia and presenting baseless knowledge in order to impress a colleague or a romantic interest. Another would be the form of music elitism people present in order to gain some sort of fictional rank or form of self-admiration. "Have you heard the new Strokes album?" an average music fan asks. "Anyone who listens to music like that without comprehension of the genre's history and origins is useless," the elitist replies. "My [...]
I have never before found five different bios on an artist page. That is until I came across the homepage for Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears . I like this one the best: The suburbs of Chicago moved from Bryan Scary when the 'massive' ( Playgirl, December 2007 ) rock star came to New York City, following in the great tradition of other such legends as Bob Dylan and John Lennon. His first words after getting off the plane were, "Is that all?" He attended the prestigious New York University, where he [...]
Got an email from the keyboardist of the Shredding Tears, Bryan Scary's band , with a request to check out their sound. I did. I like. Bryan Scary - The Blood Club Nice sound...reflections of the past are strong here...and the overall production is nice and clean. Bryan Scary - The Ceiling on the Wall Remnants of so many sounds, and, dare I say it, there are moments when they remind me of Of Montreal. But that's a reflection of [...]
Hello Fabulists. Today I bring you highly recommended songs by Bryan Scary from their upcoming debut album "The Shredding Tears." How can you not completely love something so catchy that sounds like Queen (especially "The Blood Club"), XTC, and The Beatles? I've been listening to these songs continuously since they sent them to me. Please enjoy. The Blood Club The Ceiling On The Wall Just a reminder, there's still time to enter to win one of my favorite [...]
Bryan Scary's The Shredding Tears Where the hell did Bryan Scary come from? Not that it's very important, but I would have thought that I would have gotten wind a little earlier of a record as good as this coming out. Bryan Scary's The Shredding Tears is an amazing prog-pop behemoth of a record. The word epic would be an understatement, as every one of the 15 songs that make up this album are extremely impressive, sweeping songs, as catchy as [...]
