Cave In's White Silence is definitely the most anticipated release of the week, but new albums from Book of Black Earth, In Solitude, Inevitable End and two new ones from Boris make this a week to look forward to. Vic Vaughn goes at each one after the jump. Acephalix – Interminable Night (Southern Lord) Crust [...]
Nelly Furtado è la prima celebrità a liberarsi pubblicamente dei soldi guadagnati esibendosi per la famiglia Gheddafi. Poche ore fa la cantante ha scritto un messaggio inequivocabile sulla sua pagina Twitter (seguita da quasi 2 milioni di persone): Nel 2007 ho ricevuto un milione di dollari dal clan Gheddafi per un'esibizione di 45 minuti per un gruppo di persone in un hotel italiano. Donerò i soldi. La cantante canadese non specifica a chi donerà il sostanzioso cachet (si presume ad un ente di beneficenza) ma il gesto rimane ugualmente [...]
The Year End List. I think you can appreciate how we approach the obligatory list that publishes in December. We don't use the words "best" for the end of the Gregorian calendar year wrap, and we don't enumerate the list. Empirically ranking albums with some sort of number designation, coupled with superlatives, really trivializes such a mercurial entity of music. So we don't do that. The Year End List is simply a reflection of albums that provided the most accurate representation of our aesthetics, embodying the songs most likely to receive rotation in the personal ghetto blaster for years to [...]
Montreal-based Devolver is quite remarkable. There's a serious songwriting prowess within the band's smooth, concise, and sparkling psychedelic pop songs. And said songs get caked in layers of worn copy Pram-style hauntological shit, like a ninth generation tape dub or a distant AM radio broadcast. While that may echo a bit of the Ariel Pink aesthetic, the two are very different. There are no meta jokes, no derangement, no totally skewed interpretations. Devolver is more The Zombies and Grandaddy with rainy day vocals, as recorded by R Stevie Moore or Robert Pollard. While the destroyed, tin can timbre sheen [...]
Mrs. Toad has been stranded in God Bless America by that infernal cloud of Icelandic ash, so I am home alone for the last week and all of the next one. This is very much Not Fun, because as much as she's a mean old bitch, I do seem to have developed a grudging affection for the silly old mare so a fortnight apart is very much unappreciated. It's about time those Icelanders re-established some bloody discipline, honestly. Anyhew, there is some excellent stuff on this podcast, even though it really doesn't hang together around a particular theme [...]

(Marc Girouard of Deveolver) They've been recording and releasing music since 1997, and somehow have managed to sail under the radar since then, but the spacey pop stylings of Devolver deserve to be heard by a wider audience. Marc Girouard and Kyra Stefanson are Devolver's main core, and there's been a different lineup accompanying them with each release. They've been releasing music on Vancouver label Transsiberian Music Co., amassing a catalogue of (by my count) four full-lengths and a series of singles in the interim, with a new disc, [...]

I don't know why Devolved sent me its debut album (MGM, 2001) for review, instead of its more recent effort, Calculated (Modern, 2004). I also don't know why it included a sampler CD containing two tracks each from Technologies and Calculated ; no non-radio entity would want such a truncated offering. Finally, I don't know why this Australian band relocated to Los Angeles (trading in two members along the way) "to pursue a larger audience." I suppose America is a much bigger metal market than Australia. But, dude...Los Angeles. [...]
