El bajista de The Strokes , Nikolai Fraiture , tiene en qué mantenerse ocupado cuando no se encuentra grabando o girando con sus compañeros de banda. Junto a su proyecto paralelo, Nickel Eye , ha editado ya un disco, pero también nos hace entrega de un cover de The Beatles , In My Life . El video fue lanzado a través de YouTube y se trata de una interpretación [...]
Nikolai Fraiture , o intrigante baixista do Strokes , acaba de soltar um cover para In My Life , dos Beatles , no tumblr de seu projeto solo paralelo , o Nickel Eye . O Nickel Eye tem um álbum lançado, The Time of Assassins (2009), que contou com a participação de gente como Regina Spektor e Nick Zinner ( Yeah Yeah Yeahs ). Assista aqui o cover de Fraiture :
Last week, Julian Casablancas became the 4th strokes member (come on Valensi...show some hustle) to release a solo album in the hiatus between Strokes album #3 & #4. It's now official...the individual members of the Strokes have released more material on their own...then they have with the band as a whole. But here's the big question? Is it any good? or should they get back to the studio and
Video: Nickel Eye “You and Everyone Else” Taken off of Nickel Eye (The Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture)’s debut " The Time of the Assassins " out via Rykodisc.
Creo que no soy la única que cree que de todos los proyectos solistas de The Strokes , el de Nikolai Fraiture es el menos bueno (o exitoso). Esto me quedó más que claro después de escuchar la canción y ver el vídeo de "You and Everyone Else" , el más reciente sencillo de su disco debut The Time Of The Assassins . El vídeo fue dirigido por Roman Cortez y tiene un final super ñoño, con chicos y chicas hipsters tratando de encontrar el amor en un sitio de citas, [...]
Nickel Eye , the sideproject band fronted by The Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture , have premiered the music video for " You And Everyone Else ". The track is off the band's debut album, ' The Time Of The Assassins '. The music video was directed by Roman Cortez . Nickel Eye
Right, so I think we were all pretty excited when Julian Casablancas announced that he was working on a solo project. But I also think we were all expecting it to sound less like a late 80s dance hit. The new single from his album Phrazes for the Young definitely confused me, what with all the synthesizers and all. Who knew that his signature voice would go well with that style? At the moment I'm still confused, but the track is growing on my every time I listen to it. Not that sounding like an 80s [...]
Nickel Eye - Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye [Leonard Cohen]
1. Destroyer - Bay Of Pigs [zs] Ambient disco . Minimal drone . Και τι δεν διαβάσαμε για το νέο EP του Dan Bejar . Ένα 12ιντσο βινύλιο [που τώρα ελπίζω να βρίσκεται κάπου πάνω από τον Ατλαντικό καθ'οδόν για τη Θεσσαλονίκη], δύο μόλις τραγούδια, 21 λεπτά συνολική διάρκεια, 35 διαφορετικά μουσικά είδη.. μία συνθετική και στιχουργική ιδιοφυία.. μία μαγική φωνή. Τα [δικά μου] λόγια είναι περιττά. Τα λόγια του Dan όμως όχι: Listen, [...]
Giggling my way through superannuated UI interviews, I stumbled on a rather serious, introspective doozy from good ol’ Nickel Eye. That’s right boys and girls, it’s time to Flashion Backward and fish out a vintage gem–the better to explore the strange vortex in which fashion and musicians meet. So let’s check out Nickel Eye’s Nikolai Fraiture’s perspective on the grand institution of institutionalized religion. Nickel Eye , one of the offshoots of The Strokes’ hiatus, (Fraiture is the seminal band's bassist, of course), was spawned when he stumbled upon an old box of poems and [...]
Here's the "trailer" for the inevitable side-project from the Strokes' frontman. We've seen Albert Hammond's eponymous work, Little Joy, Nickel Eye, and now we have Julian's Phrazes for the Young. If the preview's representative of the majority of the record, I'm excited. The teaser video looks like its modeled after the work of Casablancas and Roman Coppola on the video for "Hard to Explain."
Just got reminded of this song by Sean Mattison , the man everyone should be following on Twitter. I remember hearing the original a while back but never really kept it in rotation, this remix may change that. It was produced by Marc Ronson, notice the trademark brass arrangements and funky break beat. Wale, with the exception of the corny "Slim Fast" reference, does his part to perfection by blending into the songs concept and not over doing it. Very simple & tasteful production. EMPT fav. Don’t let them get you down. They’ll step on [...]
The Strokes çakma bir şekilde de olsa bize kendini dinletebiliyor. Bu sefer karşımıza çıkan basçıları Nikolai Fraiture. Yeni solo projesi Nickel Eye'ın ilk albümünü bu sene çıkardı. Açıkçası Strokes türevi çalışmalar bekleyenler için bir nebze hayal kırıklığı olabilir ama bu albümün müzikalitesiyle alakalı değil, sadece beklentiler açısından değerlendiriyorum. Nickel Eye'ın temel öğesi Folk. Bunun yanında Dub, [...]
Nickel Eye is the side project of Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture . Although the new venture retains its root Strokes essence, you can almost feel The Cure creeping through on a few of the tracks. 'You and Everyone Else' is a great example of this. Stream 'You and Everyone Else' below: [...]

So the larger majority in California still believes that it is wrong based on the Bible despite the fact that: 1. The Bible teaches to "Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on." While there is a big financial crisis going on being that it was our fault as a society, yet somehow [...]
