Rapping With Paul White by Paul White "We don't know where we're going but we sure make a lot of noise getting there!" - so goes the tongue-in-cheek opening to Rapping With Paul White, the gifted South Londoner's first full-length vocal project. It's another left turn after last year's intriguing Paul White & The Purple Brain excursion into prog and psych-rock and deserves to establish its mastermind as one of the most versatile and individual producers working today. Stones Throw artist Guilty Simpson appears twice, [...]
No aguardado regresso de James Blackshaw ao país, o jovem músico fez questão de não vir sozinho e trouxe consigo Nancy Elizabeth. Entre composições e improvisações, conversas e confissões, ambos partilharam um palco e uma noite sempre de forma tão genuína como aprazível - pessoal e musicalmente. Sem uma real distinção de posições que justificasse a tarefa de abertura de palco para o 'nome sonante', os dois artistas escutaram-se mutuamente e, em algumas ocasiões, tocaram em simultâneo; ainda que Blackshaw tivesse sido certamente o nome mais forte - e inaugurador [...]
I cringed when I was asked to put together a list of my 10 favorite albums from the past decade. My shortlist had nearly four times that many. How could I possibly narrow it down? So instead of going through that torturous weeding out process, I decided to compile a list of ten records that I feel didn't get the attention they deserved.
Finally, I've got round to compiling my albums of 2009. I've got a top 20. Not a top 10 because there's always more than ten records I'd like to mention. Not a top 30 or 50 because there seems little point in grading anything any further. Basically, ten albums I ...

NANCY ELIZABETH Gözleriniz kapalıyken bir buza dokunmak elinizi yakabilir. İngiliz şarkıcı Nancy Elizabeth 'in ayrı bir enstrüman gibi kullandığı sesi ve müziği de öyle. Minimal akustik/folk diyebileceğim türde söylediği şarkıları serin esen bir günün rüzgarsız güneşli alanları gibi, ne giyeceğinize karar veremiyorsunuz. Bu açıdan kaydadeğer bir şarkısını bulmak zor ama hepsi bir bütün halinde ayrı bir mevsim. Canopy
Just when you thought she couldn't get much more stripped down, Nancy Elizabeth does exactly that. Her 2007 album Battle and Victory was a beautiful, minimal affair, but one garnished with a host of exotic instrumentation. For the follow-up, Wrought Iron, the Wigan-raised, Manchester-based singer songwriter has cut away all ...

Nancy Elizabeth hat der Harfe den Rücken gekehrt und rückt auf ihrem zweiten Album das Klavier ins Zentrum. Mit "Wrought Iron" hat die Songwriterin aus Manchester ihr Handwerk perfektioniert. Da Nancy Elizabeth so gut wie jedes Saiten- und Tasteninstrument beherrscht, kommt sie im Studio ganz gut alleine zu recht. Wie schon ihr Debüt hat die Britin [...]
So I am not one for actually "celebrating" whatever holiday it is. I guess I am either complacent or I just don't care, wait... No seriously, I might be more of a "Hey, it's a long weekend" instead of a "Hey, I'm excited to be able to have the time to get together with my family and friends and celebrate "X" because this anniversary of the occasion has deep meaning to me" type of guy. So, yeah, whatever. I can be thankful for a long weekend though as that is always better than not having a long weekend. [...]

Zoos of Berlin - Detroit quartet Zoos of Berlin may only have one full-length album under their belt - Taxis - but they have the sound of a band with much more maturity and experience. Their brand of indie rock has an almost elegant, stately feel to it - incorporating elements of jazz, soul, and classic pop - though the band is more than willing to up the tempo and volume when the occasion calls for it. The boys have a solid debut on their hands that they recorded, produced and released themselves [...]

Nancy Elizabeth's Battle and Victory was one of my favourite albums of 2008. Therefore I was delighted to hear she was providing vocals on Susumu Yokota's new album Mother . As well as Elizabeth, vocal duties are taken on by Caroline Ross, Brothko, and Anna Bronsted. Plus Caspe Clausen from Efterklang is on the record too. Download: Susumu Yokota - 'Tree Surgeon' More info: http://www.lorecordings.com/ http://www.myspace.com/yokotas usumu
I didn't deliberately time the creation of this blog to coincide with the Jewish New Year, a day of celebration and renewal ordinarily commemorated through consumption of apples and honey in hopes of a sweet new year to come. Indeed, given the odd lunar cycle of the Jewish calendar, it is purely coincidental that we find ourselves here today, once again looking back and looking forward , in the midst of a more spiritual mandate to do the same. Problematically, however, I said it all pretty clearly back at the six-month mark. [...]
This was the phrase that struck whilst reading an editorial by Lenny Kaye. Is it often edifying to know what someone else listens to. I certainly make assumptions about people based on their listening habits. But is Lenny right? And if so do we come to define ourselves through music. I am always perplexed by those stories from people who say 'that song got me through my teens/divorce/hard time' etc. How can a song do that? Unless we take a message from it and act upon that message or receive comfort/guidance. And are there really songs that do [...]
Here are some ladies I have been into lately. Ones that haven't been blogged about much in 2007. Better Late (Greats) than never.

Because of NaNaWriMo , I fell behind with my emails. This post covers a month's worth of musicians who popped The Duke a gmail. There are some mp3s, vids and other things of note. Arranged in order from oldest to newest. Mojib ~ Answering Machine at Night RIYL: electronic music that samples The Jayhawks [ website ] House of Brothers ~ Deadman RIYL: a British Iron & Wine [...]
Music bloggers are always leaving bands in their wake like abandoned teddybears, as they forge ahead looking for the next band before discarding them once again for something more shiny and new. Personally, I try not to forget to investigate the promise I heard in a couple of MP3s but on this occasion I completely forgot. So this serves as my reminder and also a strong recommendation for you guys. Nancy Elizabeth is a 23 year old Manchester based singer and instrumentalist who mixes folk and post rock influences who I featured back in early October . [...]
Here's a whole pile of good stuff to sort through. 1) There is a new, self titled, This Will Destroy You album coming out in early 08 and lets just say I have a "feeling" that it's going to be really really good. Here's a song from it called "Threads". This Will Destroy You - Threads buy it here (eventually) 2) That Sea Wolf album has been digging its teeth deeper into my brain with every listen, especially the [...]
