Ik heb altijd een zwak gehad voor Corrina Repp . De twee albums die ze voor Hush Records maakte zijn nog altijd prachtig. Maar mijn favoriet is toch Absent and the Distant, een album dat staat als een huis. Aan haar optreden in Ekko in 2007 bewaar ik nog goede herinneringen. Maar Corrina heeft zich muzikaal verder ontwikkeld en heeft zich ontworsteld aan de introspectieve en dromerige pop waar ik zo veel van hield en eigenlijk nog steeds van houd. Sinds 2007 vormt Corrina samen met Joe Haege het gezelschap Tu Fawning . Tu Fawning maakt [...]

Whilst I can't guarantee exactly where it'll place, I can guarantee you that Tu Fawning's excellent debut album "Hearts On Hold" will be on my top albums of 2010. It's such a rich and underrated album that not enough people are talking about, but when I discovered them earlier this year it didn't take long for me to fall in love with it. Even though this video for "I Know You Now" isn't new, I only just found it, and the expressionless band members and weird room with hanging twirly stuff just confuses the hell outta me. What [...]

Tu Fawning have been around for a couple of years now, releasing a debut miniature-sized album back in 2008 called "Secession" on Polyvinyl and Discourage Records. Yesterday CitySlang announced that they'll be releasing their debut full-length LP on October 5th in the U.S., and November 1st in Europe. You might've heard of some of the members before, the band being fronted by Joe Haege from Menomena and Corrina Repp who does her own solo stuff as well as plays in Viva Voce. "Secession" was a joyous six-song journey through atmospheric Indie-Pop music, drawing comparisons from Beirut with [...]
Loving Takes This Course: A Tribute To The Songs Of Kath Bloom is a beautiful two-disc set featuring new covers of Kath Bloom songs by Devendra Banhart, Scout Niblett, Josephine Foster, Corrina Repp, and The Concretes among others. The second disc in the set contains the original recordings by Kath Bloom, an excellent bonus feature that I wish other tributes would include. This review has unfortunately been gathering dust in my draft folder since April, forgotten until I began writing about the new Judee Sill tribute [...]
Bij The Late Great Daniel Johnston werkte het goed. Het idee achter dit tribute: één CD met covers van Daniel Johnston songs en een CD met de originelen. Zo werkte de dubbelaar als een uitstekende introductie van het werk van Johnston voor de niet-ingewijden en kon je mooi horen hoe liefdevol of weinig liefdevol muzikanten als Beck, M. Ward en Clem Snide met het werk van het verwarde genie uit Austin, Texas omgingen. De aanpak is voor Loving Takes This Course, A Tribute to the Songs of Kath Bloom dezelfde. CD 2 bevat de originelen van Kath [...]
This from HUSH, my label. Has a new P Bear jamm: "Wii Oui". We are delighted to share this party favor with you: DECA: A HUSH 10th Anniversary Compilation . It's a rare snapshot of an invigorating cross section of artists mostly calling Portland home. The majority of its 28 tracks (tracklist below) are previously unreleased, and it features a 36 page pdf booklet. One note: Should you opt for the convenient, high quality zip download you'll find you're given an opportunity to pay an amount of [...]
Eben auf betterPropaganda als Song of the Day entdeckt, überzeugt mich das Stück umgehend. Jede Menge Dramatik und Handclaps von Architecture in Helsinki, eine Stimmung wie von Wolfparade, Instrumente die sich Joe Haege (ausserdem bei 31 Knots) and Corrina Repp von Beirut geborgt haben könnte. Die Stimme von Corrina Repp wie die andere Seite von Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel). Und schliesslich eine Fülle von Ideen in nur einem Stück - da war ich baff und musste mir zwingend Gehör zum Rest des Albums verschaffen. Ergebnis: das Album scheint recht kurz ausgefallen zu sein - [...]
