"Porque detrás de los discos, las canciones, el arte y todo lo que implique crear... siempre hay historias de encuentros, desencuentros, relaciones idílicas y otras no tanto. Por eso, y porque en el fondo, siempre es interesante o divertido conocer que hay detrás de la música que oímos, WeCanBeHonest lanza una nueva sección: WeCanBeLoved, es nuestra excusa para abrir una ventana al lado más íntimo de algunos nombres de la escena indie, pop y artística en general. En WCBL encontrarán artículos sobre el lado más romántico de WeCanBeHonest. Esta semana comenzamos con la historia de Jason Pierce. A ver qué [...]

The long form video has gained in popularity, but really - does anyone have time for them?

In just three short years, Toronto native Airick Woodhead’s music and art project Doldrums has cemented him as an eclectic in the flourishing Canadian music scene, which includes the likes of Purity Ring, Crystal Castles, friend, collaborator and label-mate Grimes, and many more. Musically, Doldrums was just a single, a B-side and some remixes before he released his first EP Empire Sound – a mixture of noise rock, peculiar drum and bass sounds, glitchy synthesizers and Woodhead’s youthfully androgynous voice. Lesser [...]

Congrats KS...she's a doll!

AEDI are strange and so is their new album Ha Ta Ka Pa. Their sound describes a spiritual world, combining sweetness and punk attitude, technique and cacophony, ethereal melodies and blood rhythms. A meeting of reminiscences that show the adrenaline sould of North European music and shortens the gap with the scene of Brookly, New The post Aedi - Ha Ta Ka Pa appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

Spiritualized – Amazing Grace (Dedicated, 2003).
We surely can't be the only ones who suppressed a shudder when we saw the title of My Morning Jacket songwriter Jim James' new solo album: Regions of Light and Sound of God . As it turns out, the title doesn't necessarily mean that James has gone born-again on our hellbound asses, but either way, we have to admit that our reaction did rather have us reassessing our own prejudices: would James going all Christian necessarily mean that the resultant album would suck massively? We have to say that the answer is probably no — some of our [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars It's hard to imagine a musician creating an entire album geared around what he, or she, can accomplish on a keyboard, but that's precisely what Jarrod Quarrell aimed to do with his Lost Animal project. Don't you worry your little head, the songs within Ex Tropical are anything but basic keyboard tunes; they're soulful ballads dabbling in sonic exploration. The introductory track from Lost Animal is aptly titled "Intro - Beat Goes On," [...]

Back in the early '00s, the Cold War Kids benefited in a big way from the new power of music blogs to help break bands that weren't being played on your local radio station. While in retrospect the press was both a blessing and a curse, it did help the soul-punk act get instant audiences when they headed out on tour. The Long Beach-based band will release their fourth studio album, Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, on April 2 via Downtown Records, and have given fans an advance taste of what's to come via the lead single [...]
