Th e marriage between music and photography has always interested me. When I hear some music it creates the instant vision in my head. I love it when music helps you escape, and creates some sort of fairytale in your mind. These three tracks below create an image of sitting in Central Park on a warm sunny Saturday. Bliss in Strawberry Fields or Sheep's Meadow. [...]

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions - 'Through The Devil Softly' The problem with Hope Sandoval , is that she always sounds like Hope Sandoval. Not that it's a major problem when she sounds as swoonsomely gorgeous as this. More acoustic with than anything she did with Mazzy Star , 'Through The Devil Softly' is a slightly folkier take on the recognisably hazy, smoky, wistful late night stoner tone of her voice and songs. Seasick Steve - 'Man From Another Time' Stripping [...]
Vuosi 2009 oli musiikin suhteen kaiken kaikkiaan laadukas. Parhaiden tuotosten listaamisessa ei ollut ongelmana sopivien ehdokkaiden löytäminen, vaan pikemminkin maratonikatsauksen välttäminen runsaan tarjonnan vuoksi. Listalle valikoitui lopulta monta loistavaa, miltei täydellistä suoritusta (mm. Animal Collective, Bill Callahan, Dirty Projectors, Fever Ray, Grizzly Bear, St. Vincent) sekä kasapäin tasokkaita julkaisuja, joita voi varauksetta suositella, mikäli niihin ei ole jo perehtynyt. Listalta oli pakko pudottaa monta hyvääkin levyä (mm. Camera Obscura: My Maudlin Careeer, Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, Memory Tapes: Seek Magic, Sister Flo: Au), joihin ei syystä tai toisesta tullut riittävästi perehdyttyä tai joista ei ehtinyt muodostunut riittävän tarkkaa [...]

She sounds just as baked as she did on Mazzy Star's debut.

Polvo Alright, here's my annual attempt at ranking my favorite tracks of the year. I'm sure the list will be completely different in a month after I've had a chance to read all the different lists the interweb provides. Enjoy. Honorable Mention: Screaming Females – "Bell"; Flight Of The Conchords – " Sugalumps "; Morrissey – "It's Not Your Birthday Anymore"; Phoenix – "1901"; Sonic Youth – " Sacred Trickster "; Black Moth Super Rainbow – "Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Shine" 20.

Asobi Seksu were nothing short of prolific here in 2009, releasing an album of all new material, an EP, and one of the final ever recordings from London's famed Olympic Studios (a collection of older tunes re-imagined for this session). Most bands don't get off the couch until noon, but Asobi Seksu were out there making it all happen for themselves this year. Of course no one would've cared if those three records blew, but no they are loaded with the fantastic shoegaze we have come to adore this band for. The band actually submitted two lists to us, one [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially entering the super exciting, mind-numbling tiring time of the year when festival lineup leaks and official announcements are as frequent as Amy Winehouse relapses. Ok, so the joke might be soo 2008, but you get the picture. Fresh off news on Coachella's decision to tap Muse and Glastonbury's love affair with Bono , the super indie friendly San Miguel Primavera Sound Festival (as it now is known) has unveiled its initial lineup for 2010. As it stands now, Pavement and the Pixies, aka the previously [...]

Hey everyone. Here's a short, relaxing mini-mix for the stressful winter season. Doty and I put this one together, enjoy! 1. Sexy. From their new album, Up Here . We got a chance to see 'em in Vermont a few weeks ago, and they certainly didn't disappoint. This track is a sultry, soulful ballad that's more like a warm blanket than a jam. Enjoy MP3: Soulive - "PJ's" 2. Two world famous UK DJ's making awesome music. From 1999's Epv , I really think this track was destined to [...]
Hope Sandoval destila un álbum pausado y narcótico en Through the Devil Softly . La sensualidad y el intimismo impregnan cada una de las notas de su voz, guitarra y armónica en este nuevo trabajo, al ritmo de un día de lluvia en el cual se busca cobijo y calor. La calidez es, precisamente, el valor agregado de estas melodías en cámara lenta, que se quedan pegadas y evolucionan de manera orgánica, como las ramas de una enredadera en torno a un árbol. Su segunda producción bajo su propio nombre junto a The Warm Inventions (Colm O'Coisog, [...]

Seeing Hope Sandoval in the flesh is about as rare as catching Haley's Comet. The shy and delicate singer, who has taken eight long years in between albums, performed twice this week in New York City, to sold out crowds and somewhat cautious fanfare. Fortunately, I was able to secure a last-minute ticket to last night's intimate appearance at the Bowery Ballroom, eager to hear one of my very favorite female singers in person. Irish band Dirt Blue Gene kicked the evening off with a suitable set of psychedelic drones and moody guitars. I didn't care much for [...]
3VOOR12:n kuuntelupisteessä: Air: Love 2 Editors: In This Light And On This Evening Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions: Through The Devil Softly

Nu är det ingen tvekan om att hösten är här igen, det är inte bara kallt mörkt och färgade löv utan dessutom börjar mörkret och tröttheten att sänka sig över folks sinnen. Öl på uteserveringar och bad från klippor känns lika avlägset som solen. Det finns bara en sak att göra och det är att omfamna mörkret och frossa i deppigheten, till hjälp finns som vanligt (för 6:e året i rad faktiskt) min höstmix. Nytt för i år är att den finns på Spotify men jag ska göra ett försök att få ihop en mp3-version till er som [...]

It's that time again… time for some linkage. Today we're pointing you to 68 excellent music sites that we here at TheFrontloader.com dig on thru Twitter. I know what you're thinking… "Swap, SIXTY-EIGHT sites is a bit a lot, ain't it?" and you know what? You might have a point if you think that 68 is a big number… but I bet you wouldn't think it a big number if… say, you scored a 68 on a test… or if you had 68 pennies… or if you had 68 bowel movements TOTAL in your life. So you see? 68 [...]
