Periodically music comes up on my iPod that causes my wife to remark, "That doesn't sound like music you listen to." The new self-titled album by Holmes is a great example of that - who knew that I could still,...

Debussy / My Reverie, on a Rhodes... New York, Larry Clinton/Peggy Mann. L.A. It's summer. It's hot and vacations all over the world, i believe in Boston and Berklee too. Birds are singing. The last piece of the puzzle, visiting relatives. Holmes is going ways. He isn't wasting times. In the summer he's a a busy bee, promoting, practicing, arranging meeetings. Tweetings?, Myspacing. Who knows. Swimming in the see. But the important thing is the music. The strong beat that goes on in a good melody like "it [...]

I've only had a brief time with this Holmes album, though it doesn't take much time to pick up on tunes that work so easily with both the ears and summer. You may have heard the music of Roy Shakked, aka Holmes, on CSI Miami, Sex and The City, The OC, Nip/Tuck, and The Devil Wears Prada. The album was recorded in his Silverlake home studio, with vintage recording gear and help from musicians Lyle Workman (Beck, Sting), Chris Bruce (M'chelle Ndegeocello, Seal), Michael Jerome (Blind Boys of Alabama, Better Than Ezra) Brett Simons (Brian Wilson) and Zak Schaffer [...]
Yo La Tengo & Noisettes schedule TC dates, Sonic Youth hits the Current and First Ave. & Jeff Hanson.

If someone had kindly explained before I started editing a Music Blog that sleep depredation, permanent detachment from loved ones and tinnitus could possibly occur, do you think we would still be reviewing countless musical offerings and showcasing hundreds of fantastic tunes three years later. Well, the answer my friend`s is probably still a resounding Yes! Happy third birthday Mojophenia and may the expanding concept album continue, has anyone seen my spare hearing aid batteries ?

Vor zirka dreissig Nasen spielten die Schweden von Holmes ein kleines, aber feines Konzert in der Winterthurer Dimensione Bar. Klein, aber fein - so würde man die Songs auch bezeichnen, hätte Musik eine Dimension. Netter Pop mit Americana-Einschlag, wie er von diesem gemütlichen Quartett gemacht wird, sollte es an diesen warmen Frühlingstagen womöglich viel öfters geben. Zum Zurücklehnen und Geniessen. Fotos von Kevin Rechsteiner . Holmes - [...]

At their best Holmes sound like the dour Swedish Americana of Amandine crossed with the poetic melancholy of The Book of Daniel . At their worst, well... that sound can be pretty damn boring and it does get that way after a few songs. But one at a time? All good. Living like I do in the cold, wet Pacific Northwest, I feel a kinship with the people of Göteborg and their similar grey existence and likewise, I can appreciate the temptation to subsist on music that befits the climate. Art is supposed [...]

After 18 months of various productions and touring Holmes returns with Basement Tapes - his sophomore release. From "Go Computer", a hard-hitting track about a dysfunctional relationship between a man and his computer, to "Let's Dance" - a dark and lush cover of Bowie's classic 80's hit, to "Not a Political Song" - a bouncy, poppy farewell to our commander-in-chief, Holmes' stylistic diversity is at work once more. A 5-song EP is out now while the full album is due out in January of 2009. "Go Computer" | download [...]
