Ik dacht dat het een tennisser was. Was het ook, maar er is een Engelse producer die dezelfde naam heeft. Hij zit inmiddels in het laatste jaar van zijn opleiding Met nummers opgenomen in zijn slaapkamer (zo begon Daft Punk trouwens ook) is hij dit jaar ontdekt door enkele DJ's van de BBC. Het nummer waarmee hij definitief door gaat breken is een cover van Feist's Limit To Your Love. Waar het met hulp van Chilly Gonzales gemaakte origineel al prachtig is, maakt de diepere stem van James en de piano er een zwaar melancholisch nummer van waar [...]
Indie darling, Feist, has been laying low from the spotlight since the release of the album back in April of 2007, with the exception of the occasional music collab here and there. In 2009, Feist recorded with B-Sides faves, Wilco and Broken Social Scene. Feist recorded with Wilco for their self-titled album, and rejoined Broken Social Scene to perform a few shows and record for their 2010 album Forgiveness Rock Record. Throughout the making of The Reminder, Feist had collaborated with assorted visual artists to “amplify” her songs, “when you’re making records and [...]
Sin duda alguna The Reminder de Leslie Feist ha sido uno de los discos más exitosos en el circuito indie de los últimos tiempos, tanto así que la misma intérprete declaró que se iba a tomar un largo descanso para recargar baterias y relajarse luego de la exhaustiva gira promocional que tuvo que realizar. Sin embargo, esto no significa que no podamos seguir hablando del disco, especialmente cuando la cantante preparó un documental sobre la creación y posterior gira del álbum que se estrenó hace un par de días en su natal [...]
Toronto – Over the last 10 years, CD sales have been on steady decline. To no surprise, the online music marketplace has been growing rapidly during that same time. As more and more people jump into the internet age, we move farther and farther away from music physically tied to any one medium. This can make sense from both an environmental perspective and a convenience factor. But this MTV is not for free, so what price are we paying for the advantages of a world ruled by the iTunes store? And why has vinyl, after being dethroned by the [...]
Every now and then a show gets announced here in Cincinnati that really makes me scratch my head. Sometimes I get confused because a show that I know will not do well gets booked on a night that likely ensures it won't be a big success. And sometimes a show gets booked and I think to myself, wow, how are they gonna fit the people into that venue? When I saw this show come across my inbox recently, I certainly thought of the latter of those two scenarios. I mean, The Thermals AND [...]
