TMOT's 5×5: Five albums and five songs that changed my life in 2011

Dec 27, 2011, 12:11pm Trust Me on This
Mathieu Santos "I Can Hear The Trains Coming"
TMOT's top 5 albums of 2011, in no particular order 1. Bon Iver, Bon Iver Forget Emma, forget Kanye, forget the Grammys, forget the cabin in the woods. Jubilation is not apparent in Bon Iver, not at first. But how else could "Towers" be described? It's a gorgeous love song, and despite the occasionally unintelligible [...]

Ride the Tempo's Top 20 Albums of 2011

Dec 12, 2011, 12:00pm Ride The Tempo
by teepoo Rather than post you some stupidly generic list of albums you are supposed to expect, I think my top 10 is going to be based on the fact I actually listened to these releases the most this year. Come on , if an album is good, it must be one of your top plays right? These are based on stats according to iTunes and Last.fm plays as well as the fact I physically own them. I don't believe in people's top lists if they [...]

B&W Photos from NXNE 2011

Aug 10, 2011, 1:00pm PhotogMusic.com
B&W Photos from NXNE 2011 Awhile back I decided to use a film camera and take some photos from this year's NXNE Festival in Toronto. Bought a roll of B&W Illford 36 exposure film. Wanted to see what the results were on printed photo/film. Took me awhile to get the film developed and scanned the good photos I took (Wish I got a better scanner. Anyone know a good brand to buy?) It would be too much to type up on which acts [...]

Graham Wright - Shirts vs. Skins (album stream)

Aug 10, 2011, 6:40am Totally Fuzzy
Graham Wright - Shirts vs. Skins (album stream) Graham Wright plays an often-overlooked role (keyboardist) in an often-underrated band (Tokyo Police Club), so it's not like his solo bow comes with a lot of the usual baggage. Hell, even when the Hold Steady's ivory-tickler Franz Nicolay embarked on a similar side project, certain expectations came with the mustache. All we know is that there's label machinery legitimizing Shirts vs. Skins as more than just downtime with Bandcamp, that it's deemed worthy of our attention by more than just the guy who made it. So what does Wright have to say? Read more »

[Album Review/Listen] – Graham Wright – "Shirts vs. Skins"

Aug 5, 2011, 4:00pm Listen Before You Buy
[Album Review/Listen] – Graham Wright – "Shirts vs. Skins" Tweet Tokyo Police Club have only put out around 90 minutes of music in two albums and two EPs, but somewhere in that less-than-prodigious output, keyboardist Graham Wright has a small solo output going. His first full album "Shirts vs. Skins" is an album that passes by in the blink of an eye, with only one song that cracks the three-minute mark, and a few that are shorter than two minutes. An album that starts with the line "Just a pair of chucklefucks with [...]

Graham Wright: Shirts vs Skins

Aug 3, 2011, 3:04pm Inyourspeakers Media
Overcooked wit and insincerity, combined with faceless instrumentation sinks an album otherwise filled with great pop hooks. I'm at a place with music criticism where I've done it for enough times I know what elements I'm going to focus on pretty early into my listening. Bandcamp: [...]

It was pretty amusing

Jul 12, 2011, 5:44pm Sound Salvation Army
It was pretty amusing I'm sure going solo is a harrowing experience for band members. Stepping away from your comfort zone to do something very different from what your audience is used to/expects from you must be a difficult decision. That's why Graham Wright's new solo record is kind of a pleasant surprise: it isn't all about willfully subverting expectation. It feels more like having some extra songs and not knowing what to do with them. The keyboardist and vocalist with the acclaimed fuzz-pop combo Tokyo Police Club doesn't make a point of casting off his full-time band's youthful exuberence or the [...]

Album Review: Graham Wright – Shirts vs. Skins

Jul 5, 2011, 7:51am Consequence Of Sound
Tokyo Police Club keyboardist Graham Wright made his debut as a solo artist in 2008 with The Lakes of Alberta, an EP available in a pay-as-you-want format on Bandcamp . Since then, Wright has kept busy with Tokyo Police Club's sophomore LP, Champ, and apparently writing over 60 more songs as a solo artist. Twelve of these songs made it onto his full-length debut, Shirts vs. Skins . Graham Wright went in a folky, acoustic direction on The Lakes of Alberta , but Shirts vs. Skins is a power pop [...]
