Much has happened since the last time we heard from Calvin McElroy's independent project, Kuhrye-oo. To refresh your memory, McElroy is part of Canada's hyperactive trio Born Gold and all three members are supporting Grimes' live band. Kuhrye-oo separates McElroy from the hectic touring of Born Gold and Grimes....
It's been quite a while since I've heard anything from Kuhrye-oo , but everything he makes is so fresh and well worth the wait. "Deep Drama Diva" is available for free via UNOnyc , and we've been promised that a full EP is coming soon. For now I'll just soak this up.
This Music Wins Review Of The Year 2011 on Resonance FM After writing an albums of the year list longer than probably all my posts across the entire year put together, putting together a 90 minute radio show for Resonance FM seemed like a breeze. So, here it is: 15 or so of my favourite songs of the year in Radio Show format. View the written list here . DOWNLOAD : This Music Wins Review Of The Year 2011 ( MP3 ) To [...]
La muy sabida afinidad que tengo por los sonidos psicodélicos, sintetizados y sampleados, se ve una vez más, plasmada aquí. Ocho canciones de lo más selecto de mi biblioteca musical (o al menos algo de lo que más me gusta, porque mi excentricidad declara que toda ella es excelente), dispuestas a ser mostradas a todos ustedes con el fin de compartir un poco más de los sonidos que construyen mis días, e incluso llegan a escucharse de fondo en algunas ocasiones de mi vida. A decir verdad, me resultó un poco complicado ligar todos los géneros que acapara mi curioso [...]
Slightly late on this, but hey, better late than never, right? Kuhrye-oo is a luscious beat project from Calvin McElroy . Calvin is closely linked to Canadian bands Born Gold and Purity Ring . It could be the fact that he is a member of Born Gold and opened for Purity Ring in the past. Unlike his fellow hyperactive band friends, Calvin plays with chilling electronic pulses and churns it into this remix of "Necromancy", originally from Jessica Jalbert . Jessica's dreamy vocals blend mesmerizingly with the synchronized motions of Kuhrye-oo. In [...]
Album: Jessica Jalbert - Brother Loyola The brazened strums of a fuzzy electric guitar are never too far away on Jessica Jalbert’s new record “Brother Loyola”, but constantly transcending the chaos are dreamy pop vocals wistful, wishful and naive enough to confine their sound to Canadian and mid-west American soils. These multi-layered and abstractedly harmonised vocal tracks are perhaps their most effective when embedded in the luscious violin arrangements of opening track ‘Necromancy’, a song which starts and finishes up in the clouds, albeit a little more weathered as it draws to an evocative close. [...]
Paris Green is a track that separates Jessica Jalbert ( Bandcamp / Soundcloud ) from the rest of girls sitting in empty bar desperately trying to hit the big time for wistfully playing dream pop until their heart’s content. Her vocals are gently dynamic; breathy at first rising to an angelic crescendo whilst still remaining largely nonchalant. In the same way that Kim Deal manages to insert contented basslines into the most sombre of Pixies songs so does bassist, Rene Wilson. Along with melancholic vocals and bass, the astral guitars ensure that Paris Green is an [...]

These topless chicks above are pointing to the direction they think music is heading to..... I think they are pretty spot on. One of my favourite online blogs about new music, is no other than the brain child from Peter Lanceley , This Music Wins. This week, Pete released a pretty stellar compilation. The 17 tracks listed are in his mind, great examples of how the internet is affecting the collaboration of music across borders. He mentions the affect the internet has on the cross cultural gloablization of music which is a pretty interesting concept. [...]
On Sunday I made my way down to the Netaudio event at the Roundhouse , a yearly event, conference, broadcast and live music convention for which my commissioned piece, a This Music Wins special outlining my thoughts on the stylistic future of experimental music on the internet, went out at 4.30pm via Roundhouse Radio and Resonance 104.4 FM London . You can listen again to the piece below, grab a zip file of all the compositions, or download them individually via tracklisting. Though trains prevented me from catching the headlining ' Nurse With Wound [...]
The glitch-hop producer Kuhrye-Ooh, currently making waves amongst the folk at Unholy Rhythms , Pasta Primavera and Life Aquatic amongst others, and having opened up for Gobble Gobble and Baths in the last couple of months, just dropped his latest spiritualist IDM track "Soul Handsome" via his Tumblr . Engulfed from the start by scattered drum machines and scratchy slips, a wall of streaming and glossy psychedelia launches itself in to the forefront; the result is soulfully textured and trippy, quirkily angled and mindful to an extent rarely seen in contemporary electronica. [...]
There's not a whole lot I can say other than to echo the sentiments of our friends over at Tympanogram when they say that everyone involved in any way with GOBBLE GOBBLE is awesome at making awesome music either as part of GOBBLE GOBBLE or on their own in some sort of side project. Besides all of the great tunes we've heard from GOBBLE GOBBLE, there was the utterly fantastic " Ungirthed " by Purity Ring earlier this year (of which my post on the song has been repeatedly linked to in aread more and [...]
R. Kelly is the man, there is no denying that. But what happens when Canadian producer Kuhrye-oo gets behind the boards to remix one of Kells' classic tracks, "Not Feeling The Love"? Greatness, that is what. The producer hit this one out of the park with some killer chord progressions and vocal chopping. I know very little about Kuhrye-oo at this point, but this soulful jam has my attention. Check it out and let us know what you think. Stream the cover track below and hit the skip to download.
