Scott Matthew could be reduced to an Antony pretender in Bowie's clothing, but that would be a tragic misrepresentation of just how good this singer/songwriter is. With Gallantry's Favorite Son, he walks a perfect line between the mainstream Pop of an age gone by and the transcendent Read more » http://rpc.blogcatalog.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ ping

Flashback, 1987: I'm a freshman in high school, just finding my way into the dark underbelly of underground music thanks to the burgeoning alternative college radio scene in and around the Boston area and a younger brother whose musical tastes blossomed early. I hadn't really noticed UK band The Smiths during middle school, but when Girlfriend in a Coma hit the airwaves, it touched me deeply, and I purchased the album from which it came, hardly aware that it would be their last, that the band was already disintegrating from the stress between an exhausted and [...]

Tipps für eine Woche voller besserer Musik. Diese Woche mit Musik von zarten, lauten oder verzerrten Gitarren und dem eigenen Glück im Kleiderhaufen. Montag, 14. November 2011 Montag ist Ruhetag! Das gilt nicht nur für die Stammkneipe, sondern auch für Konzertgänger. Eine abendliche Verschnaufpause hat jeder verdient: Mit dem Debüt "Welcome to Condale" von Summer Camp wähnt man sich an einer Teenagerparty während man entspannt auf dem Sofa lümmelt. Dienstag, 15. November 2011 [...]
I've spent days trying to figure out what other artist this album reminds me of... not being able to place a musical vibe or draw a comparison is a frustration I don't often encounter, and I must say I'm not a fan of the feeling. At first I would have compared his voice to Kasper [...]
Singer-songwriter goes nocturnal, resurrecting the ghost of Jeff Buckley and layering up the violins, vocal effects and instrospection. A lonely night, a head full of thoughts, a solitary candle. From the atmospheric, black-and-white intro to the first track on What The Night Delivers ..., "Myself Again," it's immediately apparent there's only one way to fully appreciate this album: in the dark, in solitude. Scott Matthews, you may recall, was the Wolverhampton-born, Ivor Novello-award-winning singer songwriter who had a minor radio hit with the understated, elegiac single "Elusive" way back in 2007. Of course,...
Scott Matthews: I'm not even going to cheapen his work with words. Just close your eyes and listen. Or don't. Since this is a video.

Scott Matthews - What The Night Delivers By Stephanie Stevens-Wade What the Night Delivers isn't an account of a lonely evening with a bottle of wine and a flickering candle or strolling through rowdy city streets at night. Unlike the dark isolated album cover, the third instalment from the British singer/songwriter Scott Matthews is more like an adventurous dream with a sense of love, loss and discovery conveyed through ingenious lyrics that fit together like a puzzle with a concoction of beautiful instrumentation.

It's finally here. In 13 days, I'll catch my final flight home from Toulouse, and, perhaps even more depressingly, I'll be back to full-time work in 15 days. Not that it's coming out of the blue. Every day now someone from Erasmus seems to be leaving. Time to wake up from the dream! Having as much free time as I've had lately means I sleep in a lot, cook, apply for work experience, look up postgraduate courses and watch a disgusting amount of American TV (I'm [...]

So. Despite my general disdain for television, I kinda might have sorta gotten addicted to Friday Night Lights. It happens, on occasion, when an exceptionally good show crosses my path, and even moreso when it has an ace soundtrack. At the urging of several friends with really good musical taste, I began gorging myself on the first three seasons on DVD right around Thanksgiving and I'm just catching up. The best I can explain, in its finest moments, this show feels like a Springsteen song in small towns and the fires of youth, all come to life in [...]

Μάιο το άλμπουμ με λιγότερα μέλη και περισσότερες συνεργασίες.Οι Δανοί The Kissaway Trail ήταν πάντα εμβατηριακοί και στα χνάρια των Arcade Fire, αλλά αν κρίνω από αυτά που ακούω και εδώ φοβάμαι πως τώρα πια πάνε για τα στάδια.

Fred Muram - Rug #3 (2008) He pauses at the top of the carpeted stairs. Right hand gripping the wooden bannister, left palm flat on the patterned yellow wallpaper . A glance down at the steps leading up to here. Fleshy toes pour over the edge. An Elvis Costello record skips below It's almost touching // It will almost // almost // almost . The words send a chill through the chandelier in the hallway. Nothing good comes of regretting. He blinks hard [...]

With this, now that it's January 2nd, we're done with our Best of 2009 series. It's gone on entirely too long, and is probably more self-congratulatory than necessary, but here's the last one: I decided to go a more general route with my favorite songs of 2009, and focus more on what I actually listened to [...]

für die Wahl unserer Jahrescharts habt ihr ja noch bis zum 5. Januar Zeit, um euch aber die Wahl zumindest in einer Kategorie vereinfachen zu könne, präsentiere ich euch hier die gemeinsamen Top 10 von 14 Musikblogs in Deutschland, darunter auch ich als Repräsentant dieser Seite. Platz 10: Fever Ray – s.t. Das vermeintlich kälteste Album des Jahres, zumindest wenn man die verzerrte Stimme und die dumpfen Synthiesounds die ersten Male auf sich wirken lässt. Doch hinter dem eisigen Wasserfall sind ungeahnte Landschaften zu finden. Ruhig stapft das [...]
