When it comes to a tight pop song, it's hard to fret over a lack of originality. There's a place for pioneers and a place for craftsmen, and it's good spend quality time with both. These Danish lads bring a lot of spunk to their '90s orthodoxy. And the singer's barely controlled caterwaul helps me keep in touch my inner angsty teen. Figurines - All Night
![[Listen] – Dntel – "Bright Night"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4165643_lg.jpg)
Listen to " Bright Night ", the lead single from Dntel's new album, "Aimlessness ". Dntel - Jimmy Tamborello, the DJ half of pereptually beloved (and perpetually on-hold) synthpop band Postal Service - is back with a new album in May, "Aimlessness" . Below, stream the first single "Bright Night" . The track is unsurprisingly and reassuringly glitchy and dense, skewing more into the IDM side of Tamborello's aesthetic. The familiarity has me excited for new work from him; after Postal Service [...]

Friday evening was a mad house. Getting into the station wasn't the issue, as I expect it will be in the coming weeks now that winter is upon us; it was the transition. Transitioning from one on-air personality to another is a bit nerve-wracking. The quarters are cramped, the mic is hot, and you have to do your best not to step on their toes as they wrap their show and you begin yours. And when it's time to fly, you have to remember which buttons should be lit and which ones shouldn't. After the [...]
Se acerca el Festival Primavera Fauna (5 de noviembre en Espacio Broadway), organizado por nuestros amigos de Fauna Producciones. Hemos participado como curadores y redactores de un boletín alusivo al festival, que seguro leerán muy pronto. Además, realizaremos una cobertura especial del festival, que iniciamos oficialmente con esta entrevista a Jimmy Tamborello, mejor conocido como Dntel, uno de los nombres que más nos atraen del nutrido cartel del evento. Escrito por Patricio Urzúa en colaboración con Freddy Olguín y José Luis Báez. Jimmy Tamborello es un tipo de dormitorio, de estudio casero. [...]

There's nothing like the joy felt in realizing an artist sounds just as good live as they do on a studio album. Such is the case for Danish band Figurines . Still in the wake of their 2010 self-titled release, the guys are back with a fully charged live recording of a recent show at Vega, Copenhagen. A specific, dynamic, and energetic performance it's obvious the band believes in their music, a confidence that makes the five live recordings a nice supplement to the band's previous albums. With sultry vocals, punk-rock [...]
Figurines ::: home / myspace ::: Five Songs Recorded Live At Vega, Copenhagen (2011) ::: Bandcamp, eigen beheer ::: Figurines uit Kopenhagen speelde op 9 april jl. een heuse thuiswedstrijd. Het trio beklom toen de buhne van club Vega , liet enkele bandrecorders meelopen en bracht onlangs deze EP uit met 5 nummers uit dat optreden. Meer lezen »

Danish indie act Figurines have a new 5-song live EP that they are giving away as a free download: http://figurines.bandcamp.com/ album/five-songs-recorded-live -at-vega-copenhagen
Treefight for Sunlight is an apt name for the Danish four-piece. Well, the Sunlight part at least. Their sun-drenched, euphoric harmonies emit every existing positive emotion. When their eponymous debut album was released earlier this year, I assumed it would be thrown into the spotlight and serve as one of the year's most praised alternative [...]
![FUCK YOU IRENE [PLAYLIST]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3681268_lg.jpg)
Hurricane Irene has made her way up the East Coast, and is hitting the fine city of New York. In my frustration and free time simply sitting around, I have made you a very special playlist of new music that you can stream/download so that even when your power goes out, you can continue your listening. Enjoy the music and get your Jenga , Monopoly , Life , Scrabble , Risk and/or Sorry! on. Enjoy the music and please stay safe. [...]
Holy moly, the Danes are charming. Even more so when we put them in the beautiful setting of the National Cathedral, our neighbor up Wisconsin Ave., where the acoustics are splendid and the neogothic architecture is lovely. And even more so when they are all smiles and cooperative, pleasant energy, even in a torrential rainstorm. And even MORE so when they play such upbeat, shambling tunes, with just enough garage-rock and psychedelic influences to back Christian Hjelm's raw, harping vocals. Figurines played three songs for us in various spaces around the Cathedral - check them [...]
![FIGURINES BLEW AWAY THE KNITTING FACTORY [FREE MP3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3659687_lg.jpg)
The Great Unknown - Figurines I'm not sure whether is was the cohesive presence they channeled on stage, the killer percussion that kept the energy up, or the unique vocals of lead singer Christian Hjelm, but Figurines (@figurinesband) completely owned The Knitting Factory last night. Openers, the Pomegranates (@pomegranatesart), were also the perfect introduction to the evening, sharing lead vocal duties, swapping instruments and keeping things very interesting. Amidst bobbing heads and swaying bodies, Figurines harmonized perfectly and transitioned seamlessly from song to song, making the set [...]

![[Introducing] – Letting Up Despite Great Faults](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3639277_lg.jpg)
Tweet If The Cure did electro-pop, they might end up sounding something like Letting Up Despite Great Faults . Maybe Robert Smith could get a haircut while he was at it, although I guess that would just be a nicety. Also, I heard that that's where he gets his power. He's like a really miserable, weedy version of Samson, with Fridays as his Delilah. Hailing from Los Angeles, five-piece LUDGF grew up listening to rock heavyweights like The Smiths , [...]
It's hard to believe July is already here. The mid-point of the year has arrived, and for many sites like this it marks a time to evaluate 20112s releases thus far and attempt to order them in some way. I consider doing so to be somewhat premature and unnecessary; I know of many albums the [...]
Moonbell is a San Fancisco trio that draws from influences as diverse as Spacemen 3, early Ride/Verse, Broadcast, and Harmonia. The band recently finished recording its first EP entitled Figurine . For those of you looking for a nice psychedelic/shoegaze fix, there are some finely crafted tunes on this EP. Head over to the Moonbell's bandcamp page. Dig in. - Capt. Obvious Listen: Figurine.mp3
