Its easy to forget that your favorite Elliott Smith songs start with a smile. You look back at him, or any other host of tragic singer-songwriters with even more tragic stories, and a wider shot paints everything a little bluer than it actually was. Smiths story is a depressing one, no doubt, and the songs he left behind tread a parallel path, but if you look beyond the sheer tragedy that can overshadow that art, each overbearingly grey sky that he painted was tinged with the barest bit of blue. If youre surrounded by the void, the least you can [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-17T00:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/5008833/nuestras-recomendaciones-de-la-semana/

Here are eight of the very best tracks to reach out to us from our inbox and the internet over the past few days. First up we have a new track from the forthcoming album Soft Will from Smith Westerns, which distills the spirit of Big Star into a delicately reverential tribute to classic 70s radio rock. We have the superbly maudlin, gloom-pop of Franklin the Flirt by Porches and possibly even trumping that we have Coma Cinema's third single from forthcoming album Posthumous Release .

Coma Cinema es una de esas bandas que nos gustara haber descubierto hace muchos aos. En activo desde 2005, el proyecto de Mat Cothran suma cuatro LP's de folk oscuro que recuerdan las obras ms ntimas de Conor Oberst y la penumbra que rodea todo lo que hace Timber Timbre .

Coma Cinema 's new album Posthumous Release wasofficially unveiled today despite a priorintentionalleak. The album has been in the works for three years encountering various problems such as sickness, heartbreak and broken instruments. After recieving a message from Brad Petering of TV Girl inviting frontman Mat Cothran to go to LA, it was then recorded within nine days.

Week's Top Releases The Albums You Need to Know About Every Week This week, Scottish electronic duo, Boards of Canada , released their fourth full-length after a seven year hiatus. If you get creepy, 1970s horror film vibes while listening to it, then they've succeeded - BoC has cited John Carpenter and soundtracks as major influences for their darkly textured release.

"Closer than before / on the edge of being / the same fuck up as before / dying in a secret", Mat Cothran (aka Coma Cinema) mumbles out on the opening track of his fourth full-length album, Posthumous Release. The South Carolina native spills out seemingly half-conscious lyrics throughout the twelve short tracks, as if [...] The post Album Review: Coma Cinema - Posthumous Release appeared first on Spinning Platters .]]> text/html 2013-06-11T08:26:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4998893/coma-cinema-posthumous-release/
ComaCinema is the recording project of Mat Cothran, a resident of Spartanburg. Americas 10th most miserable city. On paper the records lyrical themes sound as heavy as their place of provenance (snippets include Your first boyfriend died Maybe Im no good inside and Your heart is a monument to a childhood of abuse)...but the delivery of each sweetly honed phrase make Posthumous Release a sensitive, heartening and human experience. Cothrans prose spans cautionary tales, self-deprecating soliloquies and love; in a fresh fashion. Tracks are brief but perfectly formed. Most evidently [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-11T04:21:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4998371/coma-cinema-virgin-veins-listen/
'Virgin Veins', the slow-running acoustic churn from Coma Cinema 's newest album Posthumous Release , finds singer-songwriter Mat Cothran filling the endearing emotional void of Elliott Smith . It's a tough comparison, and one that a lot of Smith fans wouldn't dare touch, but the hushed echoes and straight-forward inspiration aren't easily ignored. The track is the third single from Cothran's fourth studio album, which is set for release June 11th on Fork & Spoon Records. The label will be distributing the LP as a 12 vinyl and CD, with Orchid Tapes handling the [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-11T00:57:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4998241/coma-cinema-virgin-veins/
Spartanburg, SC native Coma Cinema's "Virgin Veins" reminded us immediately (but in a good non-imitative way) of Elliott Smith; melodically, lyrically, aesthetically the influence is certainly present. The warmth and humane sunniness about "Virgin Veins", though, is why we dig it. In fact, the little guitar lead bit at 1:15 is maybe the song's strongest locus point thematically (each note will rip you up if you're not careful) and sets focus for the tune's stronger second half. Coma Cinema's Posthumous Release LP is due tomorrow (6/11). Coma Cinema [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-10T16:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4997309/coma-cinema-virgin-veins/

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars There comes a time in every music nerd's life (hopefully more often than once) where you find a record that completely fulfills you, that brings you back time and time again to listen carefully; for me, that record is Posthumous Release . Coma Cinema is the project of Mathew Cothran, and I'll do my best to give justice to this incredible album, though I'm not sure if even words can suffice. "VHS White Trash" opens up [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-10T03:37:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4995946/coma-cinema-posthumous-release/
Portada por Diana Kingsbury Yaca un poco tocado mientras escuchaba este nuevo lanzamiento de Coma Cinema . El mantener esclavizadas muchas palabras desde su pasado Blue Suicide le iban quitando emocin as como significado. Adems, el hecho de haber escuchado con anterioridad su sencillo "Virgin Veins" (cual cambi un poco en esta nueva versin) as como la reinterpretacin a "Burn a Church" del Abandoned Lands , aument en gran medida el sentimiento de poca originalidad.

The sun is out, your bedroom is already stinking hot, and suddenly the memory of snow seems less depressing than it does nostalgically inviting: yes, it's summer! The advent of the summer generally corresponds with something of a drop-off in the volume and quality of album releases everyone's too busy drinking beer on rooftops, maybe but never fear, because as ever Flavorwire has pored over the release schedules and come up with a list of the ten albums you need to hear in the month to come, along with a roundup of everything else that's out, whether good, [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-29T17:04:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4976742/viva-indie-rock-podcast-59/

For a song with such morbid lyrics as, "satan, wake me in the morning", "kill me whenever you want to, I want you to" this song sure sounds bouncy and uplifting. "Burn A Church" is a lively psych pop tune with warbly vocals that mention satan (more than once) and sing about digging dead ex-girlfriends. It is a startling but strangely effective juxtaposition, the music makes you want to dance but the lyrics call for serious soul-searching. What else would one expect from a song off an album with a slightly disturbing yet cheeky title: Posthumous Release , which is [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-23T13:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4966529/hear-coma-cinemas-heart-warming-anthem-burn-a-church/
