Neeley Bridges, " Damage " ( Sendfile Link) (The artist gave me permission to post her song). I just want to climb inside this woman's voice and nestle there. No need to wake me. Her voice is the equivalent of getting a pillow from an angel. I'm not exaggerating (though I've never gotten a pillow from an angel. In fact one of my pillows is suffering from stuffing-loss). I hear so many emotions and conflicting feelings in her voice, and this serves the emotional complexity of this song perfectly. As sweet as her [...]

+/- - Snowblind MP3 Nice song from the best ungoogleable band (via Insound)
So many records and so little time. Some good and some bad. I'll tell you what I think and let you listen if you want to. At least of few of these albums might even find themselves lingering near (or perhaps onto) my favorite albums of 2008 list. The new Sigur Ros album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust , sounds markedly different than much of the Icelandic group's previous work. Instead of creating grandiose cinematic swells that conjure up images of majestic landscapes, this one sounds much smaller and much [...]
The name is a hindrance of course (an ice-hockey term) but that’s where the obstacles end because +- {PlusMinus} produced one of the outstanding albums of the year in ‘Xs In Your Eyes’. I expect to see it appearing in plenty end of year lists over the next few weeks and if you are still an unbeliever listen to this fragmented beauty. It takes a couple of minutes to fully kick into life (the

Each week (or whenever we have time) we take a listen to some of the top songs from elbows, review them and then give our selection of alternative tracks that we believe should be getting more recognition. Sebastien Grainger-American Names former drummer and singer of Death From Above 1979 puts out this solid energetic rocksong. He finds a good screaming/singing middle ground that lifts the song up from jsut being standard fare. Crystal Stilts-Shatteredshine Really liking what I have been hearing coming [...]

This is a couple of days late, due to the first of the month being on a weekend. So what you see below may not necessarily match what's on Elbo.ws right now. Otherwise, have at it. 1. Pallers - "Humdrum" Download: Pallers - "Humdrum" The newest addition to Sweden's purveyor of pop, Labrador Records, Pallers, a duo, lay the listener down in a blanket of cool, minimalist, electronic beats and crisp synth sounds ideally suited for bedroom listening. And not much else. Grade: C [...]

Paris put me way behind on writing. And since most of these records came via digital copies from the publicists, and since my computer crapped out on me (thanks Mac!) after I downloaded them, I haven’t really spent a lot of time with any of these releases yet….but here’s some information. Take it for what it’s worth (very little). Parts & Labor and The Sea and Cake are my picks for the week. New Music Releases 10/21/08: Records I’ve Heard: AC/DC : [...]

Photography by the real Aaron Dunn Happy Halloweenie, my friends! Been enjoying Isa's Francophone mix? What a coincidence, me too! You know, I was looking back at the week or so of music we've shared, from a Weezer podcast (great for cycling, by the way) & Apollo Sunshine from last week, Begushkin , some 90's Pearl Jam record , Belle & Sebastian , then our francophile mix this week, and then I was poking around elbo.ws [...]

The pop/electronica band +/- (Plus/Minus) hail from Brooklyn and recently released their new album XS On Your Eyes on Absolutely Kosher Records. This is the band's fourth release and those familiar with the three piece will immediately recognize that throughout the album there is less reliance on the synthesizers and a little bit more on the guitars; though listen to how this song takes off on a
As usual, several songs that move me. Hope you enjoy dancing to them as much as I do. Parts & Labor - Nowheres Nigh From: Brooklyn, NY Album: Receivers Great noise rock sound with a high [...]

Once again, without further ado, here is another installment of Drake's Take . -ed. Drake's Take: New Releases 10.21.08 Looking at upcoming release schedules, we're probably looking at the last worthwhile week of new releases, headlined by the latest wild romp from Of Montreal , the solo debut from former Death From Above 1979 frontman Sebastien Grainger , and others including the latest from The Dears , +/- , Parts & Labor , Electric Six , The Dead Trees [...]

Here are The Wheel’s Still In Spin ’s suggested new releases. +/- {Plus Minus} – Xs On Your Eyes | CD or MP3 Download “Snowblind” (mp3) Xs On Your Eyes does not use as much of the electronic tones as previous +/- albums.
