Back to light Toca hablar del último single de uno de los grandes de la electrónica de ayer y hoy como son los Bomb The Bass . Como don Juan MacLean remezclando a Sally o Ewan Pearson haciendo lo propio con Goldfrapp , este Up the mountain es un viaje hi-NRGesco al que términos como 'deleite' o 'ensueño' se le quedan más que cortos. Cabe destacar la colaboración de The Battle of Land and Sea , que se olvidan momentáneamente de gazear para bordar un [...]
Yet another slow release week. Damn the Christmas season. The only release I'm actually excited about is Burial's . Last year's Untrue was a 2007 favorite. And Denison Witmer could be good. Really, though... what else is going to be worth listening to this week? I don't even know. An album from Kevin Costner ? That could be interesting. Who wants to take bets on how many songs I get through before I have to shut that one off? :: Adversary [...]

"Listen up motherfuckers, sit down and be quiet..." steht provokativ auf der Myspace-Seite von The Battle of Land and Sea geschrieben. Schon ab den ersten Tönen ihres Debutalbums leistet man der Aufforderung gerne Folge. Ja, man kommt nicht drumrum. Erstens, weil die sparsamst eingesetzten Gitarren/Banjo und Sarah O'Shuras kristallene und wie eine laue Brise aus den Boxen säuselnde Stimme so ruhig und gemächlich daherkommen, dass sich die wunderbare Subtilität ihrer Musik erst in der Stille erfassen und geniessen lässt. Zweitens, weil sich eben diese Brise bereits im Opener "Saltwater Queen" als verkappter Wirbelwind entpuppt, der den Hörer an raue Kliffs und weisse Strände trägt und sehnsüchtig aufs offene [...]

Tinha este album "perdido" no meu pc e ainda não lhe tinha dado o devido valor. Para todos aqueles que apreciam o género Mazzy Star ou Marissa Nadler não devem perder de vista o primeiro albúm dos The Battle of Land and Sea . Este duo é composto por Sarah O'Shura (voz e guitarra acústica) e Joshua Canny (guitarra eléctrica e banjo) e as 8 músicas pontuam pela simplicidade e melancolia com o tema nautico como pano de fundo. Para primeiro album não estão nada mal, gosto de albuns assim curtos, que [...]
The Battle Of Land And Sea - Saltwater Queen

New Wax I've quite inadvertently established a blog with an affinity for alt.country/folk music (although if you pay close enough attention, there's a pretty varied soundscape represented here), and admittedly, I've a weak spot for sparsely arranged folk songs, no matter how vilified the burgeoning genre has become as of late. Granted, not everyone who can play a few rustic acoustic guitar chords or clumsily pluck a mandolin deserves to be praised, but running this blog has opened my eyes to a wealth [...]

![My Big Album Review Strikes Again. The Battle of Land and Sea [S/T]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/834479_lg.jpg)
File this under: Not just another beautiful voice with an acoustic guitar. Alt/folk is a complex genre: Suzanne Vega to Neko Case , Joni Mitchell to Cat Power , Natalie Merchant to Joanna Newsom --- and so much in between. To describe Portland based Sarah O'Shura [ The Battle of Land and Sea ] as just another folk singer would be a gross understatement and a huge mistake. Gorgeous and painful --- without being overly dramatic --- [...]
For my top 10 albums, I'm judging the albums as a whole, not just by a couple of songs that might be my favorites. I'm considering not just how good the artist was, in my humble opinion, but how well the album worked as a unit. That is where In Rainbows failed in my judgment, although musically I liked all of my top three albums nearly equally. In Rainbows seemed like a crazy quilt of songs not having much connection to each other and rather patched together, while both The Shepherd's Dog [...]
Speed of Dark favorites of the year must have been released so that readers can buy them. It doesn't matter whether it's a label-release or a self-release, but songs available only as free downloads or promotional MP3s can't qualify. I am not a professional music critic. I can't discourse on chord techniques or whether beats were dropped or misplaced. I read what others say, but I make up my own mind what I like. Sometimes my taste leads me to the same artists the pros like, and sometimes not. These are my choices [...]

It's a little bit early in the season for most North American readers to think about a beach vacation, but the pleasure of a seaside escape from the heat will come soon. Sample these five new artists' take on today's sea and beach theme. The Flies: Walking On the Sand British outfit the Flies created such a summer song here, and it has this great old 60's finger-snappin' sound. Think: David Lynch movie soundtrack. Lead singer Sean Cook was formerly with Spiritualized for eight years, [...]
