Mice Parade ou neste caso Adam Pierce , o mesmo que já editou dois álbuns com nomes bem portugueses, como o "Bem-vinda Vontade" de (2005) e "Obrigado Saudade" de (2004) lançou este " What It Means To Be left-handed ", que só pelo nome desperta alguma curiosidade. A verdade é que chama a si algumas participações como Caroline Lufkin (que participa na música "In Between Times"), que faz lembrar um pouco Blonde Redhead, e que tem uma linguagem a solo muito interessante, e os outros conseguem ligar perfeitamente com o estilo do nova yorquino.

It's been some time since I've posted on this blog and I am happy that topomodesto gave me the opportunity to put together a mix. In the face of algorithm driven mix generation I hope that there continues to be interest in crafting diverse listening experiences. What may start as a matter of convenience easily translates into common practice. Collecting and orchestrating music samples into coherent ideas may be perfected by professional dj's, but I find my interests don't take root until I search out the connections between songs and artists myself. And this invariably leads [...]
Caroline Lufkin decided to walk away from a major label contract to revoke the limelight unlike what her very famous Tokyo singer sister Olivia did. Like most indie artists, she took the long creative path where she writes, performs and records her own songs. It's been almost 5 years since Caroline dropped her last album Murmurs. Lufkin's latest [...]
When I saw Mice Parade (one of my fav bands forever) on tour, I took ista-note, as most did, of the girl in the stage front left. Never woulda guessed, but of course it makes perfect sense. Her vocals over beautiful Mice Parade's instrumentals are trademark for me. At the time I had no idea that was Caroline Lufkin on stage! Her Murmurs album debuted over 5 years ago and now she's finally back with her sophomore, Verdugo Hills. No, I don't think it took 5 years to make, [...]
Great Lakes are a bit of an institution having been around in various guises since 1996. Ben Crum is the heart of the band since his partners in crime Dan Donahue and Jamey Huggins (of Of Montreal fame) focussed their talenta on other projects over the years. For the latest release under the Great Lakes [...]
Mice Parade's new release, What It Means To Be Left-Handed , has splashes of Flamenco, Brazilian-inspired jazz and flourishes of West African Highlife. It's a melding of sound and culture. In fact, Today?s Top Tune features singer Somi alongside kora player Abdou on their collaborative song "Kupanda."
Last month Mice Parade released their new full length album What it Means to be Left-handed ." It is their sixth through Fat Cat . Mice Parade, formed by the multi-intrumentalist Adam Pierce , was originally a solo project. A little over a decade later the group now encompasses a slew of artists, musicians, and part time collaborators. Pierce remains the prominent performer on the new record. His acoustic guitars are smooth and soulful. The array of instrumentation is layered well with romantic textures. Swahili singer Somi beams rays of sunshine at us [...]
Strands , the solo project of producer Stephen Shannon will be releasing a self-titled debut this month on October 22nd.

A launch gig takes place the same night in Crawdaddy. His band will be made up of members of Halfset, Adrian Crowley and more. You can follow him on Twitter too. [...]

Words: Gareth O'Malley That is probably the best album cover I've seen all year. Not just because it is eye-catching and inviting (and it's even better because of this) but also because it sums up perfectly what the new record from Mice Parade is all about: colour. Lots and lots of colour. Adam Pierce (see what he did there with the band name?) is back with his seventh album, and the revolving-door policy with his backing band means that the assemblage now includes the following: Doug Scharin, Dylan Cristy, Rob Laakso, [...]

My favorite album from last week, good experimental electronica to write to from Gold Panda's mixmaster Derwin : Gold Panda Gold Panda: "You" [ Buy ] The experimental : New York outfit Mice Parade plays around with various genres on their well-titled album What It Means to Be Left-Handed , an interesting, although perhaps not start-to-finish compelling, release. The first track plays with African instrumentation and [...]
This week's list of releases is a prime example of how great being a music fan can be. It's such a completely overwhelming amount of great albums, that it would be just silly to recommend only a few. With new stuff from well-known bands like Of Montreal , Azure Ray (first album in seven years), Blonde Redhead , Weezer , The Walkmen , and Elf Power to some gems that are under the radar from Black Mountain , The Black Angels , and Megafaun - [...]
