Brian Lopez may be an unfamiliar name but he hits familiar points that will draw you close - looks like Albert Hammond Jr. (The Strokes), has the same delicate voice as Damien Rice and strums like the great Jeff Buckley. Based in Tuscon, Arizona, Brian presents a desert-noir, psych rock vibe and shakes things up [...]
Was cruising around the bottom of the Elbo.ws hotlist and came across the name Benjamin Francis Leftwich whose single Pictures , below, comes out on February 20th. In this market, where everyone's got a Bandcamp page, it's difficult for someone with just a song and guitar to stand out from the crowd. BFL manages to do this, dispensing advice in hushed tones that sound as though he's letting you in on a little secret. RIYL : Sufie Steves and Damien Rice. (It's a Damien Rice kind of day.)
Agosto 2010, Londra. A Piccadilly c'era ancora il negozio della Tower Records. Quel pomeriggio c'ero anche io, in attesa che il mio amico Marco riemergesse dalla sezione punk rock. Nell'attesa inforcavo le cuffie di una postazione d'ascolto e decidevo di ascoltare un disco dalla copertina essenziale, ricoperta da uno spartano e al tempo stesso elegante tessuto. Era Damien Rice col suo "O", disco d'esordio che, in un'epoca in cui i blog e le webzine non si erano ancora espansi a macchia d'olio, in Italia era ancora praticamente sconosciuto. Da qui un colpo di fulmine, l'acquisto [...]
One of the more upbeat songs from Lisa Hanningan's second album Passenger has gotten the video treatment real good. We are glad she is venturing out in the visual world more. "What'll I Do" has a really infectious chorus. Damien Rice - eat your heart out!

State dropped its Faces of 2012 digital mag last week, but if you're looking for something a little more historic than you can check out Tony Clayton-Lea's book 101 Irish Records You Must Hear , a guide to some Irish albums down the decades that Mr Clayton-Lea reckons you have to hear. It includes U2, Taste, Villagers, Therapy?, Lisa Hannigan, Planxty, Damien Rice, Rudi, Fight Like Apes, Sinead O'Connor, Divine Comedy, Golden Horde, Rory Gallagher, Yeh Deadlies, The Blades, David Holmes, Horslips, The Pogues and more. We have a copy of the book [...]
La consociamo per la lunga collaborazione con Damien Rice ma Lisa Hannigan si è gia fatta apprezzare con l'album di debutto SEA SEW, nominato ai Mercury Prize nel 2009. Il 17 gennaio 2012 pubblicherà il nuovo album, "Passenger", prodotto da Joe Henry . "Passenger" riflette, in gran parte, i viaggi, sia a livello professionale che personale, intrapresi da Lisa negli ultimi anni. 'Molti di questi brani sono stati scritti in viaggio, per questo possiedono quel senso di nostalgia tipico del viaggiatore'. Ma il tema del disco sono 'gli amori, gli struggimenti, le [...]
1. Mélanie Laurent - Mélanie Laurent She called her superb debut album "The fulfillment of a childhood dream". Well, her childhood dream tickled me from the start (Début) until the end (Fin). Together with Damien Rice she made a perfectly balanced mixed of classical chansons with a little hysteria, sweet duets, surprising arrangements and little hidden treasures of intimacy. All drenched in Mélanie's seductive voice. 2. Coeur De Pirate - Blonde Is there anything left to say about FS fav Béatrice Martin? How brilliant her second album is and how fantastic her concert was in Brussels [...]
little mix - cannonball (uk x factor winners) [first of all, these lil muffins (tulisa's words, not mine) went from soloist to group act to underdogs to breaking the curse of the girl groups to eventual x-factor winners (a first for any group in the series). not only that but their solid work ethic showed week in week out AND no one seemed to throw a stroppy diva fit off camera. add to the fact that their big official single is a classic damien rice number and you have the ingredients for a respectable future girl band. i'm in!] [...]
As we noted over the weekend in The Year's Best Coverfolk, Part 1: Tribute Albums and Cover Collections , it's been a good year for full-album coverage. Overall, though, despite the fact that, in terms of sheer mass, covers from tributes overwhelm singletons in my collection, what I've found this year is that a significant majority of the songs that lingered, and demanded overplay, came from a mixed bag of borderline genre albums and single shot coverfolk tracks, via the usual sources, from YouTube, Soundcloud, studio appearances, website and bandcamp singles, and more. [...]
This year's X Factor Winners Little Mix have unveiled their video for Cannonball, after hitting the number one spot in the UK singles chart last week. The original was by Irish singer song-writer and record producer Damien Rice , and originally hit the number 32 in the UK Charts. Following the X Factor release, it has now re-entered the charts and has hit the number 9 spot. That's the power of The X Factor for ya, in a nutshell. Little Mix - Cannonball [...]
Interessante colpo di coda dei Coldplay nella classifica singoli inglese : l'oramai anzianotta Paradise (giunta all'ottava settimana di vendite) ritrova slancio e sale fino alla seconda posizione, scavalcando pure l'ex numero uno Olly Murs . Sono due le nuove entrate ai piani alti, entrambe cover reinterpretate da signorinelle in carriera : la prima è di Leona Lewis che si rivede alla #8 con Hurt , discusso rifacimento del pezzo dei Nine Inch Nails già riproposto con successo anche da artisti del calibro di Johnny Cash e [...]
Christmas, Three Years Ago, I started this blog. Every year of my life has been a blessing on many levels. Not so much on the blog front, but definitely on the personal front. This blog was made to help promote new music and a venting board for myself. It has done both and also been super time consuming. I love it at times and I also want to give it all up five minutes later. But I don't, not yet, tee-hee. This years Christmas Compilation - Culture PopMas 2011, is probably on my favorites from the last three years. As [...]
Day two of the end of year countdown, as voted for by the great and the good of the State team. This next five bring you two hip-hop giants rubbing shoulders with a UK folk band, a couple of Irish names from opposite ends of the spectrum and a range of North American alternative sounds. Have a good weekend and we'll return with the next installment on Monday. 40. Bombay Bicycle Club - A Different Kind Of Fix "A bit of folk here, a touch of dreamy guitar there, some jaunty [...]
People say Dingle has a micro-climate of its own, with the weather often going off on a different trajectory to the rest of the country. I wonder if that has been a major factor to Dingle having what I can best describe as a micro-atmosphere. It's almost as if you leave your memory about half-way between Tralee and Dingle, so that when you get here you can't quite remember the real world you've left behind. Maybe it's the distance, the long drive from Dublin, but when you arrive in Dingle you have to get on Dingle-time and slow way down. [...]
The Staves are three beautiful sisters making beautiful music. It's music formed out of simplicity – one acoustic guitar and three harmonised voices that are about as close as you can get to pure. The word spell-binding doesn't even do them justice. Jessica, Camilla and Emily Staveley-Taylor originally hail from Watford, UK and after starting their life in music playing open-mic nights and gigs in local cafes and pubs they secured a slot at the Glastonbury Festival back in 2009. Since then [...]

Photo of Ray Davies compliments of the artist Here are this weekend's XPN Welcomes concerts. FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18 Bell X1 is Ireland's best barely-kept secret. The group, originally known as Juniper, used to feature Damien Rice as its lead singer; unfortunately, it's still often recognized for that fact, rather than for its Talking Heads- and Flaming Lips-inspired fusion of rock and electronic music. Bell X1 is a sensation in Ireland, nominated for Best Irish Band at the Meteor Music Awards three different times. It was also nominated [...]
2011 is definitely the year of the cover. And Holmes ' project is "another one of those." But it's also one of the more unusual of the lot. Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" becomes a sunny single. "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" becomes a 1970s AM single. My favorite Jacksons tune is still funky, but now sounds white and nerdy. "Don't Be Cruel" sounds like electronica Beatles. My second favorite Genesis song is a straightforward pop. (My favorite one is "Man on the Corner," in case you were wondering.) Musically, it's tight and fun, with gues [...]
A couple of years ago a bunch of Rhode Islanders relocated to Brooklyn, New York. As Twin Sister they released Vampires With Dreaming Kids , a four song collection of expansive shoegaze with foggy rhythms and an icy disposition. This was followed by Colour Your Life , featuring vaseline-lensed space-disco. Last year the band re-released both as a double EP. Single tracks were subsequently released in the build up to their first LP, hitting off airy indie-pop, funky cuts and pastoral instrumentals – namely 'In Heaven' which would title their debut album but didn't make [...]
