Richard Youngs - Low Bay of Sky (Jagjaguwar 2007) Richard Youngs – Autumn Response / Jagjaguwar Continuing his tradition of unpredictability, the ever-enigmatic Richard Youngs once again turns his back on prior recorded material for a new album sure to confuse longtime fans. Granted if you are already a fan of the Glasgow-based artist and his knotty musical career, this confusion is half the appeal. Autumn Response strips away all of the abrasive characteristics that typically bend Youngs' sound into intriguing sonic directions. [...]

As I start to reflect on my albums of the year, I need to catch up on my weekly releases of what came out this year. 11/6/07 Top New Releases: Citay : Little Kingdom (Dead Oceans) - The best way to describe this one is mellow stoner rock. It's full of guitar jams and informed by a lot of your favorite music from the 1970s. There are songs that sound like acoustic Led Zeppelin, and Meddle-era Pink Floyd. If you love zoning out to guitar riffs (both acoustic and electric) then [...]

Richard Youngs: Autumn Response (Jagjaguwar, 2007) Nem de próposito, em pleno Outono, Richard Youngs apresenta um novo e fantástico disco intitulado precisamente Autumn Response. Com uma carreira vasta e sempre fascinante, plena de colaborações várias (Low, Vibracathedral Orchestra ou Sunroof!) e de abordagens musicais dadas a um certo experimentalismo ligado à folk, ambient e ao rock minimal. Em Autumn Response existe contudo uma prevalência dos instrumentos mais acústicos sendo igualmente o seu disco mais acessível até à data. I Need The Light é tema que abre o [...]

Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day . So, what should you do while you are not buying stuff tomorrow? (a) Credit card cut up ... "Volunteers stand in a shopping mall with a pair of scissors and a sign offering a simple service: to put an end to extortionate interest rates and mounting debt with one considerate cut." (b) Whirl–mart ... "This activity has the advantage of being most likely to piss off security personnel. You and nine of your closest [...]

Sitting down tonight to put together this week's edition of The Daily Graboid (a day late, sorry), it dawned on me how close we are to the end of year already. It's hard to believe, but as each chilly night reinforces that fact, the more we'll begin to notice the dwindling amount of good album releases. I'm sure there will be a few gems here and there, but for now the geek in me is focusing on the onslaught of video game releases (hello Super Mario Galaxy , COD4 [...]

Will you be Grizzly Bear's friend too? As the year draws to a close, it becomes more and more evident that the big guns have already fired. While the number of highly anticipated new albums has dropped precipitously - just compare to a month or two ago - there's still plenty of time for the sleepers to ease on in. Grizzly Bear's EP of covers and re-interpretations and Sigur Ros' dual EPs released on one disc will be at the top of the stack for many record buyers, [...]

Grizzly Bear - Friend [EP] Grizzly Bear - Alligator (mp3) As we approach the end of the year the new release list seems to dwindle.
