Rappelez-vous, c'était il y a presque un an maintenant, je vous présentais une jeune allemande de 21 ans, Julia Kotowski a.k.a. Entertainment For The Braindead . Sur Roadkill, son nouvel, elle donne la part belle au banjo qui l'accompagne tout du long. De la folk intimiste qui séduira inévitablement les amoureux de Laura Veirs. Cet album est proposé par Julia en version digitale et gratuite sur le site de Aaahh Records . Allez le récupérer au plus vite, car ce disque vous offre un voyage aussi beau que fascinant... [...]
There's rain in the forecast here in Boston, which doesn't make me want to play the usual TGIF song. (It's Phil Collins' "That's All", if you must know.) Holly Miranda - Waves. This one fits the bill just fine. It's atmospheric without being too dreamy, and the production - by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek - is grounded enough to let the song levitate a bit. The Magician's Private Library is a good listen for a day like today, or any time you need a record to remove you from the here and now. The album's title comes...
listen Τραγούδια με θέμα τον ύπνο, αλλά όχι για ύπνο. Τραγούδια για σχέσεις που έπρεπε να έχουν τελειώσει προ πολλού. Για την ινομυαλγία. Ούτε νανουρίσματα ούτε και εφιάλτες. Στο σημείο σύγκρουσης ονείρου και πραγματικότητας . Θαυμάζει τη Nina Simone και τον Alejandro Jodorowski, στο όνειρό της βλέπει ότι κρατάει το χέρι της Emily Haines και εμπνέεται από το μάγο Μέρλιν. Ψυχεδελικά παραμύθια. Η φωνή της Holly Miranda θυμίζει έντονα Chan Marshall και Leslie Feist και θα ήταν μόνο αυτό αν δεν είχε ένα τεράστιο ατού για το The Magician's Private [...]
Considering SXSW encompasses a film and a music aspect, it's nice that IFC will be joining the two worlds when they broadcast live performances from the IFC Crossroads House down in Austin, TX. The bands include The Sword , Neon Indian , The Walkmen , and more. A full lineup is available after the jump, and be sure to tune in on IFC's website, www.ifc.com/sxsw/live-video , to check out a live stream. IFC Crossroads House schedule: The Black Angels - Fri. 3/12 @ [...]
Araba Films If there's one thing Austin, Texas needs during Spring Break, it's some live music. Particularly in the form of a day party. The past few years I've been very lucky to have been able to help put on some fantastic parties with some of my favourite blogger buds. And while the Hot Freaks marque has been put to bed for the time being, I'm very happy to be able to announce that You Ain't No Picasso , My Old Kentucky Blog , [...]
The title of Holly Miranda 's debut release "The Magician's Private Library" (out now on XL Recordings) suggests a cornucopia of aural delights, and it does sound very good, with a shimmering sonic palette applied by TV on the Radio's David Sitek. Miranda, who made noise a couple years back as a member of the Jealous Girlfriends , possesses a languid voice and mature way with a lyric that ought to be completely captivating, but a little more clarity and idiosyncrasy would be welcome. "Library" isn't quite on the same shelf with Bat for Lashes, but it's in [...]

Singer-songwriter Holly Miranda just released her epic, mesmerizing debut, The Magician's Private Library, and you should run not walk to pick this record up. Produced by TV On The Radio's guitarist Dave Sitek, the album is surreal and otherworldly,...
Forest Green Oh Forest Green -> ustawia klimat jak Fawn na płycie Scarlett (obie płyty produkował genialny Dave Sitek). Niby naturalna rola pierwszego kawałka, ale posłuchajcie większości płyt z ostatnich lat i okaże się, że to wcale nie takie oczywiste. Duży plus kompozycyjny - przedmowa do płyty łączy bowiem jej 2 strony . Pierwszą, ciemniejszą, kipiącą subtelnymi okrągłymi beatami i loopami jak ręka w worku z grochem albo jedzenie tapioki. I drugą upbeatową, wychyloną w stronę bardziej typowego żeńskiego indie-popu. moment: 2:27 - fonetyczne ćwiczenie na pierwszym planie przed bardzo fajnym wyaranżem, który wprowadza w [...]
Phil Harder Did anyone see this coming? I certainly didn't. This question, of course, is only relevant to those of a certain age/era for whom the name, " Bettie Serveert " still means something. To everyone else: get off my lawn. Aside for the unfamiliar: the Betties were the Netherlands' finest rock export since Golden Earring and a staple of '90s college rock with three albums on Matador full of crunchy guitar pop and Carol Van Dijk's expressive vocals. Entering the 21st century, they explored side projects and [...]
The Magician's Private Library by Holly Miranda is a seductively slow burning piece, imprinted with the multi-faceted production work of David Sitek, a member of TV on the Radio. With a wide roster of other artists under his belt including Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foals plus knob twiddling duties on Anywhere I Lay My Head by Scarlett Johansson, on this album it seems very much that Sitek is in control. Rather like Johanssons's debut, which critically took a bashing but was one of our albums of 2008 , the songs on The Magician's Private [...]
Brought up in a strict religious household, Holly Miranda was banned from listening to secular music - so of course she went to great lengths to get it. Her varied influences, combined with the contributions of TV on the Radio's David Sitek, are captured in her ethereal new songs from The Magician's Private Library . Today's Top Tune is " Waves ."
Sorry for the lack of updates the past few weeks, as I felt I needed a little break from the blog. Considering it's only March (seriously, it's already March!), it may seem odd that I would already need some time away, but hey, it happens! With that being said, the first thing to scratch off the list upon updating is catching up with the album releases from the past weeks, including this week as well. And as you notice, there's a ridiculous amount of releases that made their way down the pipe - almost too many to [...]
We here at Austin Town Hall were fortunate enough to get our hands on some tickets for the much anticipated Tegan and Sara at Bass Concert Hall on Friday night. Touring in support of their latest release, Sainthood , the girls were accompanied by the beautiful Holly Miranda and Steel Train . A sold out crowd filled the hall, and you could hear the buzz as all the fans anxiously awaited the beginning of the night. Follow the [...]
Z tegorocznych płyt bardziej porusza mnie tylko Teen Dream . Laboratoryjna mieszanka Cat Power, Bat For Lashes i ciemniejszej strony Lamb wymyka się spod kontroli, a David Sitek w okularach szalonego profesora ma powody do radości, bo The Magician's Private Library to miejscami królestwo nie z tego świata (tak jak w przypadku dziesiątkowego Dear Science TVOTR, tak jak na wspaniałej, niedocenianej płycie Scarlett, no on jest niesamowity). Z pewnością posłuchamy tego albumu w kolejnej audycji Radia LTB. I jeszcze à propos zwariowanych profesorów - czuję się wywindowany. Holly Miranda [...]
Last week at Tipitina's, Canada's Tegan and Sara played and our man Josh was there to take some great photos as usual. Fun facts about Tegan and Sara. We played a video of theirs in our very first show and haven't played one since. This is also the very first mention of them on this blog. I have always thought that they were always torn between being pop and underground. I guess that is something a lot of Canadians have trouble with. HOLLY MIRANDA [...]
Holly Miranda - Waves "Holly Miranda, lead singer of one of my favorite bands The Jealous Girlfriends, has gone solo for the moment with her new debut LP The Magician's Private Library. One thing I knew about Miranda from the few Jealous Girlfriend shows I'd attended – she can sing, and she can rock. Buuut…I had no idea she'd be capable of making such a diverse and spectacular album such as this. Seriously she touches on that Bat For [...]
Holly Miranda es una pequeña rebelde originaria de Detroit que comenzó su proyecto como solista desde el 2004 después de que su banda inicial - The Jealous Girlfriends - llegó a su final. Su voz tiene tintes folkeros que rebasan el límite entre lo elegante y sensual, es un material digno de ser escuchado en momentos específicos y de gran importancia sentimental. El álbum se titula The Magician's Private Library y fue lanzado el pasado 23 de febrero a través de XL Recordings Ltd. Una producción frecuentemente comparada con Mazzy Star y Mojave [...]

Dan Sartain - Ruby Carol mp3 One man revival of perfect, greasy rockabilly. U.S. Girls - Red Ford Radio mp3 Sparse, repetitive, claustrophobic. Brother Dege - The Battle Of New Orleans mp3 [...]
