die touren nicht umsont mit o'death, letztes jahr das letzte release, müsste mal wieder was kommen: Elliott Brood – Write It All Down For You in aller munde und doch so frei, ein cover von beirut vorzutragen: Florence & The Machine – Postcards From Italy "the eternal" setzt sich massiv in vorderen listenpositionen fest, fast schon beängstigend, wenn man nicht wüsste, von wem die [...]
![Nire: Vespers [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1788173_lg.jpg)
What is the perfect driving music? You can probably rattle off a ton of names—my list, past and present, would include: Sing Along With The Acid House Kings by Acid House Kings, Up Against The Legends by The Legends, and Friend And Foe by Menomena. Surely we can all name great music to drive to, but what about bad music to drive to? This is a bit more difficult. Personally, I would lump anything that could make me fall asleep at the wheel [...]
It's freaking Friday! I wasn't sure I would survive there for a little while. This sickness knocked me on my ass. But I started feeling better yesterday and I do certainly feel better today just in time for the weekend! Yeah! I thought I would start with some new music...I am kind of letting the hype die down in regards to the Radiohead download release, because you know me... :) In other news I did get a working iPod and it is grand. I have so much room I don't [...]
Cello-wielding one-man discotheque Arthur Russell has received an amazing amount of indie-realm (and otherwise) attention these past years, long after his AIDS-related death in 1992, due largely to the excellent reissues/issues by super NY label Audika . The visionary Downtown composer sang in a lovely, ghostly tone that at a distance may feel topically unlike the bantering croon of Jens Lekman, but when you put the two side-by-side, the similarity of approach and essence is somewhat startling. In that way it both makes sense and surprises that Lekman coverings Russell's "A Little Lost," while spearheading the Four Songs [...]
Simple, melodic, intimate, introverted : all words that could be used to describe Nire 's debut full length album Vespers , which is set to be released October 9th. When I say simple, I don't mean simplistic. With Nire, it boils down to Erin Morgan and Josh Hinton on vocals and acoustic guitar as the primary means of conveying their musical vision to the listener. Some bands try to get away with sparse instrumentation simply because they can't play anything else or they don't have the support to back them up. That's not the [...]
Who else went out to experience the mess that was the Red Bull Flugtag this past Saturday? I was there but I ended up bailing right before the midway point because of being overly hot and a little frustrated with the constant glitches in the presentation. I mean, experiencing Perry Farrell do a bizarro-lounge version of the National Anthem isn't something that I really feel bad about missing more than half of, but that's no reason for the piss poor effort of the people that were in charge of making sure that the vocals were turned up.
