I liked the first track we heard from Boris' upcoming record New Album, but this really equalizes the scales. MP3: Boris - Flare Honestly if all of Boris' work sounded like this, I'd probably be happy never listening to them again. This sounds less like the Japanese acid metal gods we've come to enjoy and [...]
Just over a week after catching this intriguing Japanese trio Boris , weave their mystical sound of multitudes of styles and genres at Fun Fun Fun Fest, the band releases the second track from their upcoming release aptly titled New Album. " Flare" follows the first single released which was titled "Spoon" and can be found on New Album released on limited edition vinyl and CD at independent retailers on Record Store Day: Black Friday Nov 25th and worldwide on December 6th. Still trying to wrap my head around this stuff, but it's fun [...]
I want to believe. I want to believe that Boris' third album of 2011 isn't two albums too many. Pitchfork gave "Spoon," the first track released from New Album (Yes, that's what the Japanese hard rockers are calling this new album), their best new music tag. But, I'd be hard pressed to believe anyone will bestow such honors on "Flare." Rolling Stone calls it frenetic . Frenetic, of course, is another way of saying a song has no direction. And direction is exactly what "Flare" lacks, as unnecessarily grandiose guitar melodies drop [...]
Stay sad. Stay scared. Stay in the Home You Love . For your perusal: the yowls of ghosts of these gin-drunk sailors caroming round the wrecked carcasses of those rotten and rusted hulks that bore them once. And here a reveille to corral them, in the glitter of rain on third degree burns. The gathered and violent potential of so many loose lips. So don't let's talk about it. Strike The Last Flare . We'll [...]

Tropics is Chris Ward, a British producer and multi-instrumentalist in his early 20s who came to our attention last year. His early unreleased tracks and remixes were being given attention from the likes of Pitchfork and others, so we knew we were onto something special. Read more »
Dreamy chillwave at its best, without the monotony.
"Anstrengend" ist ja so ziemlich die bescheuerteste Kritik, die man Musik wertend verpassen kann. Klar, wie immer ist das Wort auch nur Ausdruck der Beziehung zwischen Musik und HörerIn, aber in diesem Fall gibt man nicht weniger als mangelnde Aufmerksamkeit, schlimmstenfalls mangelnde geistige Kapazität zu. Aber nuja, das ist einfach das, was mir bei den meisten Sachen von Planet Mu als erstes in den Sinn kommt. Die Perkussionsmuster zu beschäftigt, dazu die Texturen zu abwechslungsarm und die Melodien nicht einprägsam genug, wenn ich ein bisschen genauer in mich gehe. Aber irgendwie gab es dort letztes Jahr einige Neuzugänge, bei denen [...]

![Tropics – Parodia Flare [Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3664955_lg.jpg)
Central to this LP's sound is multi-instrumentalist Chris Ward's use of the Rhodes keyboard, a piece of equipment traditionally used in Jazz Fusion. Ward's use of the Rhodes keyboard would certainly explain the rich, almost supernatural air to tracks such as the opener 'Navajo'. The shimmering echoes emanating from the machine do have an air of familiarity, almost nostalgia, that feels simultaneously warm and cold. From what the blurb on Planet Mu tells us, Ward is more concerned with channeling his own musical history through new technologies than putting his own spin on any musical trends pervading [...]
On September 20th Planet Mu will release the highly anticipated debut full-length from Chris Ward, aka Tropics . The album features the excellent single "Mouves", which will also be released on Monday in EP format , along with eleven more originals. Stream "Mouves" below and revisit the track's recently released video . Tracklistng: [...]
"'Flare' might be the debut album under his own name, but it is far from Erik K Skodvin's first musical endeavour. As a member of Deaf Center (along with Otto Totland) he built up a swift following of fans devoted to his precise attention to detail and knack for creating the most unassumingly beautiful tracks of gloomy soundscapes. This clearly wasn't enough though, as Skodvin dragged his sound into darker pastures, tying to it the Svarte Greiner moniker and allowing his collection of haunted sounds to cough, splutter and groan mercilessly. 'Flare' marks a new beginning for Skodvin, and the [...]
You may or may not have noticed the Lilith-like ballad playing in the background of the last episode of 30 Rock. Let's have another listen: PaintsAndBrushes by EricAndrew16 If the rambling, sing-songy confessional style seems familiar to you (i.e. the ear-piercing "whyyyyya whyyyya do you drink so much red wine"), that's because Tina Fey wrote AND recorded [...]

The Magnetic Fields have been a band for 20 years now. In that time they have released 8 albums (10 if you count 69 Love Songs as 3 albums) and a handful of EPs. Then when you take in mind Stephin Merritt's other 3 projects, that adds 6 more full length albums to the picture, as well as 4 EPs. On top of that, Stephin also has 3 albums of the various film/ theater scores he has composed, with compilation album Showtunes compiling various songs from each. The guy is pretty prolific. Sure, he's no Robert [...]
HATCHMATIK est dans la place! Montreal's own mix master DJ/Producer extraordinaire Hatchmatik has been keeping on the low these days, so it's to no surprise that we are all awaiting for something new from him. Happily, today is the day where you can finally stop waiting, because he just sent me a new bootleg remix of Animal Collective's "My Girls" , with a nice bangin' disco flare. Montreal: Prepare yourself, because Disco is coming back and hitting HARD in the scene right now... so enjoy the download [...]
