John Frusciante , conocido guitarrista que toca en la banda Red Hot Chili Peppers , lanzó The Empyrean , su nuevo álbum como solista. El disco sale a la venta hoy y, como siempre, ya inundó la red hace algunos días. Es un disco conceptual que habla sobre la historia de una sola persona. Tim Buckley, Flea, Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr y The New Dimension SIngers colaboran en el álbum. El artista explicó que está muy contento por toda la psicodelia que posee y que debe ser reproducido con la música lo [...]
It's somewhat refreshing to get a John Frusciante album without a larger context you automatically compare it with for a change. His last bunch of albums were all a part of the same recording sessions and for most the same release year (more about these in the 2nd part of my Frusciante retrospective released a tad ago) and though each one was a stylistic standout, they were clearly all still a part of the same continuity. The Empyrean is without all that. Almost exactly four years after 2005's Curtains, Frusciante returns once again with [...]
This weeks find the official "CD" release of the Animal Collective album. No need to give you anymore details on that one since it has pretty much been much the talk of the blogosphere for the last couple of weeks. It should be mentioned that they just announced an Austin date at Stubb's on June 5th. Also much anticipated releases from John Frusciante, Bon Iver and Matt and Kim. We have been listening to the "Grand" album from Matt and Kim for the last couple of days and it's definitely worth checking out. They also just did an interview on [...]
We gave a full rundown of upcoming 2009 releases a few weeks ago, but there are so many great albums coming out today that we thought it deserved a special reminder. We've gushed about A.C. Newman , Andrew Bird and Bon Iver plenty of times before, and Or, the Whale are on a very short list for our favorite local bands. I don't know about you, but I think a lunch-break [...]
Remember when you were 14 and you prayed to God to not let you die before you got to kiss Wendy Peffercorn? Or, you know, other things. That's what this release week is like. Please God, don't let me die before I listen to new albums from Bon Iver , Animal Collective , Andrew Bird , Atmosphere , Matt & Kim , Antony and the Johnsons and Robert Pollard Also, Andrew, Animal, Antony and Anya? Sounds like a conspiracy. :: 16 , [...]
It's been a while since we've written a NMM post, mainly because the end and beginning of December, respectively January, have always been very blunt and poor in terms of releases. Things are shaping up again though, and this week we've got a few interesting artists, with some equally interesting new material. First up are the more or less justly hyped Animal Collective and their latest record, Merryweather Post Pavilion , that finally gets officially releases in the states (I'm say officially because everybody knows how to use a torrent. You know what I mean). [...]

When we last dwelled into the career of the ever-fantastic John Frusciante , we got through the first half of his discography - an assortment of albums with artistic growth in every way but nothing really to tie them together outside the obvious matters. However, as we descend to check the man's works after 2004's Shadows Collide With People , we'll enter what one could call the Record Collection era (after the label his future album would be released under) or 2004 craze. A short while after the release of Shadows, John announced that he [...]

+מה זה, מה פה קורה פה? למה העונג לא שלם אבל כבר באוויר? חדי העין בטח שמו לב שביום חמישי לא היה ניתן להשיג את העונג שבת, יען כי השרת פשוט נפל לשעות רבות. התוצאה הראשונה של הנפילה הייתה שלא הספקתי לעבוד על העונג בחמישי בערב כהרגלי, והתוצאה השנייה היא שאני פשוט לא יודע אם השרת [...],
So as we all already know about the new John Frusciante album coming later this month , I reckoned that not many of us are probably well-versed in the man's solo career. We've all heard his work - his stint as the guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers on all of their most successful albums has made it sure everyone's heard his guitaring and backing vocals at least once. Not many even know he has a solo career - worth loads of albums even. The thing is, even if you hate the Peppers it doesn't mean you [...]
Hace algunas semanas Miguel les daba los primeros detalles de The Empyrean , el disco como solista de John Frusciante que será lanzado el próximo 20 de enero. Pues ahora ya podemos ver la portada de esta producción que la verdad está muy bien hecha. No sé a ustedes pero a mi me recuerda mucho al tipo de portadas que hacen algunos grupos de metal. Además, John también develó, a través de un mensaje en su página oficial , el tracklist de [...]
January sees the release of John Frusciante 's 8th solo album released under his name, titled The Empyrean . While the release date was originally slated to be the 20th, Amazon.co.uk lists it as 26th so I guess I'll be having the album at the very end of this month. However, Indie Paws itself will see January become a John Frusciante month of sorts as I'll be releasing a package of updates relating to the man and his work as the month progresses, inspired by my massive wait for The Empyrean. A rather unexpected start for [...]
As 2008 comes to a close, we at Stranger Dance are starting to look forward to what 2009 holds. A number of our favorite artists ( Andrew Bird , Bon Iver , Wilco , etc.) have confirmed upcoming albums and even more are flirting with the idea. A few things stuck out to us while compiling this this. First, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy promises his "biggest and most ambitious album" to date. The New Pornographers crew have obviously been busy with a new release scheduled for the group as well as members [...]

Eine fünfjährige kreative Kollaboaration wird nächsten Februar das Tageslicht erblicken. N.A.S.A. heisst das Projekt zwischen Squeak E. Clean und DJ Zegon, die mit ihren musikalischen Heroen eine ziemlich verrückte Platte aufgenommen haben. "The Spirit of Appollo", wie die Platte heisst, hat das Ziel kreative Leute aus dem Kunstbereich zusammenzubringen, die vielleicht sonst nie zusammengearbeitet hätten. So kamen Lykke Li, Santogold und Kanye West zusammen, oder Chuck D und David Byrne. Karen O und Ol' Dirty Bastard wie auch RZA und John Frusciante sind ebenfalls zwei aussergewöhnliche Paarungen. N.A.S.A. (feat. Kanye West, Lykke [...]
Ci siamo rassegnati all'idea di non ascoltare nuovo materiale dei Red Hot Chili Peppers per un periodo di tempo piuttosto lungo ( si parla di uno o due anni di pausa ), ma a quanto pare i singoli componenti del gruppo non hanno nessuna intenzione di andare in vacanza. Dopo l'annuncio dell'imminente release del disco solista di John Frusciante , arriva ora la notizia che Anthony Kiedis sta lavorando in veste di autore ad una serie televisiva incentrata sulle sue vicende personali. Agenzie di stampa e siti musicali riportano che il [...]
by bmac This weeks mixtape is a monster. I'd like to come up with something insightful to say about it, but I'm distracted by silly things on the internet right now. Instead I'll just share some of the gems... biggest mouth in the world Rodney Mullen is insane crazy underwater hotel in Fiji Grab the zip below or check out each song after the jump. [...]
I'm just getting back into this again so hear is another update on my favourite songs of the moment. Cut Copy - Lights and Music is from the album "In Ghost Colours" which has been on repeat for me over the past 2 weeks. Amazingly produced album and something a little different from my normal taste. Expect a review soon! John Frusciante - Murderers was shown to me by Shaun, my housemate, and is an amazing song. I think it's on some skate video for Lakai too, not that I [...]
by phil The word empyrean can be described as several things; the highest point in heaven; the sky; an ideal place - today we'll define it by its newest meaning: the title of the forthcoming, tenth solo album by Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist, John Frusciant e. The Empyrean is due out January 20th via Record Collection and I was lucky enough to get a taste of the album this weekend through the song "Unreachable." [...]
Qualche giorno fa vi avevamo anticipato dell'uscita, prevista per gennaio 2009, del nuovo album di John Frusciante . The Empyrean, così si chiamerà, è il dodicesimo album della sua carriera solista iniziata nel 1994 (momento in cui, purtroppo, era in queste condizioni ) con quel mezzo capolavoro che era "Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt", uno degli album più geniali, e allo stesso tempo strazianti, che abbia mai sentito. Il buon "vecchio" John, dal 2000 ad oggi ha già fatto uscire ben nove album, alcuni di ottima fattura e altri più trascurabili, [...]
