Magic Magic Boston, EUA Myspace Lembra: The Shins, The Arcade Fire, The Dodos Ouça: "Over your heart", "Bat people" Soando como um filho bastardo entre o Arcade Fire e os The Shins com um certo amor pelo pós-rock, o sexteto de Boston é uma daquelas bandas que é até curioso que ainda não tenha caído no radar. Talvez sejam difíceis demais de colocar no Google. O primeiro disco está disponível apenas no site da Rough Trade, o que fica ainda mais difícil de [...]
L'anno scorso la famosa rivista inglese NME a fine 2007 stilò una lista di "next big things" che, secondo loro, sarebbero diventati grandi nel 2008. Fra i nomi presenti c'erano Foals , Glasvegas , MGMT e Ting Tings , tutti realmente diventate famose, alcune proprio grazie al supporto del magazine. Quest'anno NME ha fatto una cosa simile, pubblicando la lista degli artisti più "caldi" del 2009. Inutile dire che, visto i precedenti, questa lista è molto utile per capire cosa ci aspetta l'anno prossimo, musicalmente parlando. [...]
Hails From: Essex, UK Influences: David Bowie, Prince, Talking Heads File Under: Melodic keyboard heavy indie-dance-funk Visit Magistrates on MySpace. MP3: Magistrates - Make This Work
NME, the notorious UK hype mag, had a list of bands to watch out for in 2009, some of which I had heard of, some of which I hadn't. Because of NME's love of early (and often undeserved) hype, it's tough to know what's worth looking into. But my interest was picked by the description: "Influenced by Prince, Talking Heads and David Bowie, Essex foursome Magistrates claim to have a 'masterplan to infect the world with a dirty groove like some out of control STD.'" [...]
This Kendall's Favorite Songs of 2008 thing is starting to get old if I can say so myself (I can). Today we have my favorite "Indie Rock" songs of 2008. Basically I classified any group that uses a guitar as "Indie Rock". That's the way they taught us to label things at The School for Unimaginative People Who Can't Think of Descriptive Words Good. Dance The Bloody Beetroots – Rombo The Bloody Beetroots – Butter Justice – Planisphere Parts 1 through 4 [...]

Magistrates - Make This Work Nice new track by English rock group Magistrates . A must listen for all Klaxons lovers. It's from their Make This Work (2008) single, which is out now on XL Recordings !
For lidt over en måned siden omtalte jeg Friendly Fires ( her ), hvori jeg viste deres musikvideo til sangen Paris som en forsmag på deres kommende album. Well, nu er albummet udgivet. Trioen bestående af Ed Mac, Jack Savidge og Edd Gibson har stadig samme lyd, som de havde på EPen udgivet for et halv års tid siden. Sangen Paris er da også med på det nye album - forståligt nok. Ganske poppet, en snert af disco og så ellers en ordelig omgang catcyness der kryber en ind under huden. Hør [...]
Me and brent will both be out of town this weekend, so there probably won't be many posts. But here is this month's mix for you to enjoy over the weekend. Some of the songs we have posted on already but are just too good to keep off the mix, others are brand spankin' new. As always, if you like what you hear buy the album/EP/etc. Enjoy.

(High Places) So, readers, this is a new idea for a feature that I've been kicking around in my head over the weekend, tackling new music with a form of poetry that most of us haven't used since we first learned it (not that I want to presume about MFR readers' haiku usage). This is the first installment, and with it comes brand new music from Brooklyn-based alt-country practitioners Motel Motel; Candian synth songstress Kellarissa; ethereal world-pop duo High Places; the legendary Lou Reed, with a live rendition of a classic track; UK neo-soulsters Magistrates; and The Present [...]
After reports that 2007's inaugural Field Day event was less than pleasurable, I wasn't sure whether this year's all day outdoor extravaganza would be worth going. But it appeared that the organisers were being sincere in their attempts to improve things this time around and the line up was stellar considering a ticket price of under 30 quid. Well, until el Guincho, Dan Deacon, Primary 1, Mystery Jets and Dirty Projectors all pulled out. Nonetheless, I thought it was pretty okay. It was also pretty wet! Cheers to Sam, Craig ( Joy-Rides ), Ronnie [...]
1. Ladyhawke - "Dusk Till Dawn (Canyons Garage Disco Mix)" (mp3) I'm certain that by now you're thinking you've heard every Ladyhawke remix known to mankind. Well, you simply haven't until you've heard Canyons' remix of "Dusk Till Dawn." Wobbly synths rev up a space-age disco feel while Pip Brown lays down a gossamer veil of vocals. Mmm... 2. Low Motion Disco - "Love Love Love (Soft Rocks Remix)" (mp3) This remix of Low Motion Disco could pass for something else. Um, Chromatics much? 3. Metronomy - [...]

Oi! Oioioi! Tule vaatama-kuulama, mul on siin üks lugu millesse sa kas armud või mida vihkama hakkad. Või miks ka mitte mõlemat korraga. Ja Essexist pärit ning ilmselgelt hästi palju Prince'i ja Talking Headsi kuulanud bändiga Magistrates on nüüd küll selline lugu, et kui nendest järgmine hittbänd ei tule, siis... ...ehk tuleb ülejärgmine. Või ei tule üldse midagi. Vaatenurga küsimus. Aga mulle nad meeldivad. Magistrates - Make This Work [...]
Magistrates hail from South Woodham, Essex. The lineup includes Paul Usher (vocals,keyboards), Mark Brandon (guitar), Thom Galbally (bass) and Andy Grant (drums). These guys play an interesting fusion of funk and pop. Imagine the early Prince, The Ohio Players and Kool & the Gang. It's funk of the scratchy and organic variety rather than the outrageous p-funk of say Funkadelic or Parliament. Chicken-scratch guitars and nervy cymbal clashes rather than outargeous basslines and synths. They have a distinctive lo-fi sound, probably down to the fact that 'Make This Work' was recorded in the guitarists bedroom on a [...]
First things first: these recordings are rough as hell. To the point where you can't be sure if they were trying to make them sound bad or if we're dealing with a Black Kids 2007 thing where the songs are good but the record sounds like shit. But, inside of that debate is undeniable promise. Magistrates , with an awfully colonial name, play sort-of a coked-out, spastic brand of indie-rock. It's keyboard driven and it runs until it's out of breath. It's a little bit of a freak-out . There are choruses inside the [...]
if you read GWFAS you might have seen a post about a band called Magistrates . or if you read The (e)N(e)ME(y) you might have seen them in today's copy. following on from and in theme with Monday's post, Magistrates are a funk infused pop outfit from Essex. i suggest you check them outtttt. this is my song of the weeeeeeeek. it's pretty darn smooth.
