We debated about whether or not to publish an end of year list, but we couldn't resist. As we've both said before, Lonesome is a bit like a published version of the kind of chat we'd have anyway, so here we are to share it with you. So picture us all down the pub, (two pints of Guinness, please), and take this list as our way of asking "have you heard this?". Catherine Howe - What a Beautiful Place Easily the most listened to in the car, for the [...]
Most lists I've seen around the blogosphere (god I hate that word) are only about 10 to 25 albums deep. Our list topped off at cool, refreshing 50. Stay tuned for a daily countdown to the top album of 2007. Since the music always speaks louder than commentary, we did our best to include an mp3. Enjoy! 41. Pale Young Gentlemen Pale Young Gentlemen - Fraulein 42. The Record Low [...]
Soulsavers Feat. Mark Lanegan & Will Oldham - Through My Sails (via Pitchfork) Language Of Flowers - Lara Mascara Moving Pictures - I Like The Way You Are Transplants - Diamonds And Guns The Walkmen - Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone The French Kicks - Young Lawyer [...]
I don't typically run out and buy a record these days after hearing only one track (Been burned too many times). One listen to "Revival" off the new Soulsavers ' ( MySpace ) record, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land , and I couldn't wait to hear the rest. The album was release in April of this year and I've been kicking myself for not finding it sooner. A dark brooding mixture of Gospel, Rock, & Electronica with haunting vocals provided by the amazing Mark Lanegan ( MySpace [...]
With it being Friday and all, I thought I would share with you guys a few of the songs that have been on repeat in the Salad Days office in Austin this week. King Khan & The Shrines - Welfare Bread (mp3) King Khan & BBQ Show - Zombies (mp3) Chromatics - Night Drive (mp3) Chromatics - I'm on Fire (Springsteen Cover) (mp3) [...]
It's been several months since we've done a Forkast update. There are two main reasons for this. The first is, you know, who cares anyway? You have plenty of stuff to listen to without this. The second reason is that...
Revival is full of gospel thickness, brings me back to when blues was first brought into my church, with soulful anthems like People Get Ready , and the first drumset I saw at a Sunday morning service. UK remix team Soulsavers released todays side on their October release It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land (Columbia/Red Ink), and are gearing up for a short US tour later this month. Soulsavers, Revival If by chance you were looking for something in more of [...]
Today's theme: From Old-school folk to Nu-school dope Iron And Wine Iron And Wine 's 2005 EP Woman King was one of those rare EPs that are so good you forget it is not a full-length album. He hit a stride in his songwriting that produced purely beautiful, perfect songs and the question was whether this was a peak moment or whether Sam Beam could continue on in this fuller, more engaging type of [...]
SoulSaver's "Revival" from their new album "It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land." Originally from MPR: The Current Song of the Day on November 7, 2007, 11:00pm
Last weekend, I spent several hours at my favorite music store, Rhino Records , independently owned and operated since 1981. In digging through the 99 cent bin, I pulled out a CD by the UK's Soulsavers , which happened to be their second album, It's Not How You Fall, It's The Way You Land , released this year. It was in the bin because the case looked like it had been crushed under a car tire, but it was still in the plastic and the CD inside was pristine. On this, their second album, [...]
A little 90's grunge album art to look at. With Mark Lanegan putting out all this material these days ( soulsavers , twilight singers , gutter twins ..) I decided to go back and visit one of his first bands, the Screaming Trees. This is typical 90's grunge album art with the dark mood and typical back cover of the band with bad typography. But nice illustrations on the front cover and in the booklet. [...]
A couple of months ago, around Labor Day (has it been that long already? Jesus.), I posted a soothing mixtape that was created by Soulsavers , recently signed to Columbia Records. The UK band is an interestingly experimental mix of calming electronica, country/folk and soul and for their new album, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way We Land (out last week), Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees fame provides vocals for 8 of the 11 songs. I've become a fan [...]
Looking for something sufficiently dark to play as you prepare yourself for Halloween? If so, look no further than It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land , the second album by UK group Soulsavers . The album took Rich Machin and Ian Glover, the nucleus of Soulsavers, and Mark Lanegan (who's worked with Screaming Trees , Queens Of The Stone Age and Isabel Campbell ) three years to produce. In that time, the trio produced ten tracks that are part rock and roll, part electronica, and part [...]
Just got the new Soulsavers album, It's Not How You Fall, It's How You Land , and I'm lovin' it. If you hadn't heard, Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees and solo career fame was involved with the making of this CD, singing in 8 of the 10 tracks, co-writing a few as well. The album's been described as a "unique mix of hip-hop, rock, country, soul & gospel." Soulsavers - "Revival"
After last week, it seems like there couldn't be anything left to release. However, this week doesn't disappoint and gives us some quality music. My emphatic pick for this week is Underworld 's Oblivion with Bells. It's not often that I get to write about one of my favorite artists of all time. Underworld has been a favorite of mine since I first heard Second Toughest In The Infants and they only grew on me as time went on. [...]
Kinda slim pickings this week after a little over a month's worth of consistently great weeks of album releases. I guess we can just sit back and catch our bearings with this week's edition of The Daily Graboid. Not really anything here that I would instantly want, but there could possibly be a few interesting albums here. Starting off with R.E.M.'s first ever live album, Maritime (former members of The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan ) and their new album Heresy & the Hotel Choir , former [...]
With last week being such a monster for new releases I guess the industry decided they should tone it down a bit before our heads explode. Do not be fooled though, there are still a few gems out there worth picking up. Here are a few that we recommend. Albums and MP3's [...]
This should be called "The Soulsavers with Mark Lanegan", because the Soulsavers were already a group before this record. Aside from the lack of his name in the title, Mark kicks ass on this record. You'll find his voice on...
Soulsavers (featuring Mark Lanegan & Will Oldham) - Through My Sails
Whoop! The NFL season is upon us and that means it's time to oil up the ol' MOKB NFL Recap gears, cogs, nuts and bolts. I'm going to try to make it the whole season this year. I suffered some severe burnout around week 13 or 14 last season. I've hit the cream and the clear hard in the off-season, hired Drew Rosenhaus to rework my contract and am feeling pretty pumped. Well, we gotta get it all start off with the AFC South. The Colts ruled the division last year [...]
