Following our last piece about the wonderfully exciting and massively hyped artist, Flume, you would be forgiven for thinking The Recommender might have turned into a hit-chasing buzz blog, seeing as we're now about to recommend yet another artist that's recently gained plenty of blog inches. Hopefully regular readers will be aware that we prefer to search out new music independently, only ever writing up someone with integrity intact. We like to list artists that have not only caught our attention, but that have genuinely stolen our hearts, and just because today's recommendation has been playing the heartstrings of others [...]
'Frankenweenie' (UK Release: 17 Oct '12) // Words: Saam Das In 1984, fledgling animator Tim Burton made a 30 minute short entitled 'Frankenweenie' , a parody of the 1931 'Frankenstein' film. Soon after, he was fired by his employers Disney for making a film too dark for children. Almost twenty years on, Disney are on hand to distribute Burton's expanded stop motion animated remake of his short. The more things change, the more they stay the same. [...]

The new Tim Burton movie, Frankenweenie, comes out this week. It's about a boy and a zombie dog, and actually our reviewer says it's a damn good time. But more than the movie itself, we are i...

Brandy St. John goes by the grammatically confounding, pluralised nom de plume The Long Wives , although she's not always alone. Indeed, the gloom-ridden L.A. songstress has had them artrock stalwarts from the other end of America, Karen O and Nick Zinner in to produce a single or other. Although irregardless of alt-dot-rock royalty featuring on production duties here and there, St. John's more than capable of tugging a heartstring or two as she strums elegiac chords from a twinkling acoustic. Cruel to be Kind, the latest thing to fall from her Soundcloud , recalls the dulcet allure [...]

Era apenas uma questão de tempo: as carreiras de Karen O e Tim Burton estavam convergindo, destinadas a se encontrar. A excêntrica vocalista do Yeah Yeah Yeahs compartilha com o excêntrico diretor de cinema um gosto por temas sombrios, clipes com esqueletos, lobisomens e gritos de "cabeças vão rolar" e um amor pela experimentação, especialmente a cinematográfica (vale lembrar que Karen participou da trilha de Onde Vivem os Monstros, de seu marido Spike Jonze), e acaba de lançar uma música inédita, solo, para a trilha da nova experiência do "cientista maluco" Burton: a reinvenção 3D da [...]
