Your first impression of Camphor 's latest video may simply be that it seems slightly childish. I mean, the thematic elements behind the "Castaway" video include pirates via toys. Despite the somewhat childish Lego-like element, this video with an actual cast would be horrid. But with the toys it works just fine; in fact, add the foggy smoke and it's pretty damn cool. In "Castaway", Camphor's dark folk-pop melody blends well with the creativity of the video, making it well worth a viewing or two. The lovestruck sailor is [...]
Mount Eerie - "Between Two Mysteries" . Mount Eerie's thrilling and exhausting new record, Wind's Poem , expands on the idea of "black wooden", from last year's Black Wooden Ceiling Opening . Black wooden is like black metal, but instead of roaring throaty death-voice, Phil Elvrum murmurs. The guitars distort, fuzz and howl but there is an inherent gentleness. This works for me: this kindly noise . It is how I feel on the days when I thunderstorm. And yet - yet - yet "Between Two Mysteries" is not this. It is [...]
An appreciation for film is arguably the most common first step in uncovering and eventually admiring the arts. Contrary to the conventional uses of music, photography, or painting, children are exposed to both educational and entertaining films at an early age in order to maximize their general perception of morals, social interaction, and social norms. At this early age, art is hardly an afterthought. Guardians use film to make their children more socially aware, and mainly to safely occupy them without putting much effort forth. The same could be said for something like finger-painting or children's music, but kid-centric films [...]
folk // acoustic blues // world Soul, folk, jazz and creole influences shine throughout Camphor & Copper (2008) - the first full-length of self-taught guitarist and singer-songwriter Mélissa Laveaux . On her debut album Mélissa displays impressive musical range and clever lyrics. Mélissa's folk-blues arrangements, catchy hand claps, whispery vocals and her unique percussive finger-style guitar will be appealing to the fans of Ayo and Aurgasm featured Asa . Of special quality is Mélissa's sharp and powerful cover of Elliott Smith's "Needle in the Hay". From [...]
[FR] C'est à l'âge de 13 ans que cette jeune haïtienne qui grandit au Canada découvre la guitare, un cadeau de son père. Quelques années plus tard , en jouant dans quelques pubs d'un campus, Mélissa Laveaux se fait remarquer par un jeune percussionniste qui l'incite à persévérer. S'en suivra, en 2006, un album autoproduit qu'elle diffusera sur son MySpace . C'est Laurent Bizot, de No Format , qui la remarquera et son disque distribuera Camphor & Copper , via son label. C'est cette voix envoûtante et métissée, mélangeant folk, jazz et [...]
News, is this all about ? If I had to mention and select a single album from the past years.. many chances my ears will request again and again the sound of Drawn to Dust from Camphor . Max Avery Lichtenstein has released in this thirteen songs collection a musical Everest. If you missed this album : you're just 12 months late ; but no worries this is the kind of music which do not suffer the print of time. Before switching to the band website [...]

I hated choosing this list. Feel sorry for the albums that missed out. They'll just have to do better next time: 10. Foals - Antidotes Expect the Unexpected with Foals. This is what New Rave wanted to be. Foals on MySpace 9. TV on the Radio - Dear Science Some dared proclaim Dear Science as the OK Computer for the naughties. Not convinced, but it does confront the Bush years with stunning tracks and great lyrics. Unlike Radiohead's best, its poignant, but not suicidal. [...]
The cover photo is a curandero from the Vaupes region of Colombia. EPILOGUE (1963) Panama clung to our bodies---Probably cut---Anything made this dream---It has consumed the customers of fossil orgasm---Ran into my old friend Jones---So badly off, forgotten, coughing in 1920 movie---Vaudeville voices hustle sick dawn breath on bed service---Idiot Mambo spattered backwards---I nearly suffocated trying on the boy's breath---That's Panama---Nitrous flesh swept out by your voice & end of receiving set---Brain eating birds patrol the low frequency brain waves---Post [...]

new audio and junk The Golden Hands Before God [Montreal] - "Blood of November" [mp3] from debut album Here (Pop Echo). so actually the full name of the band is The Golden Hands Before God Conducts Incredible Magic Band & The Spirits. The reverbed vocals are key on this peaceful track from an otherwise country-garage psych group.

This album had already been reviewed on many sites but I can't resist ; nothing really original to comment, always a matter of sharing. On September 2th, The Low Anthem released their third full lengths " Oh My God, Charlie Darwin ". Set the sails I feel the winds a'stirring Toward the bright horizon set the way Cast your wreckless dreaming on our Mayflower Haven from the world and her decay And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin Fighting for a system built to fail Spooning [...]
Anyone with eyescan see I'm a huge DOOM fan. I'm wearing his mask at the masthead of my blog, fercrissake. So you can imagine I'm hyped to see a new MF DOOM release . . . D'oh! It's just a remix/blend album. Between this and the Trunks EP (review of that to come), I'm wondering if Viktor Vaughn has anything new in him. This record is free. It's good, but it's frustrating to see yet another re-issuing of old DOOM material. Maybe he's dead? Track [...]
What's good everyone, Hope the week is going OK and will continue doing so (especially for my peoples being affected by all of these crazy hurricanes and storms in the southern U.S. and coastal regions). It's been a bit busy over here in regards to some of the happenings and projects BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast family has cooking, but it's that time again to hit you with the quailty mixtape joints. For those who are new to the site (and for those who aren't, glad you're around), folks here [...]
It's been a tough year for MF Doom fans as there were fake MF Doom imposters performing on his behalf. However Mike Waxx throws a bone for them with this MF Doom mixtape "Doomed" with one of the best Mixtape covers I've ever seen. The biggest buzz about the mixtape is the freestyle over "Paper Planes," which are probably making the hipsters go apeshit, but pretending not to care because the song is mainstream now. 1. DOOMposter Intro 2. Jake One - Trap Door (Ft. MF DOOM) 3. Donny Goines [...]

After bugging my amigo Waxx for this for a while, it's a nice surprise when I wake up to find this a top of the illRoots post pile. A year in the making featuring blends, remixes, freestyles, exclusives, rarities, live performances & more, this is a necessity for every MF DOOM fan (shouts Magnus ) & worthy of a download & continuos play on the iPod even if you aren't. And oh yeah, there's an amazing wallpaper kept nicely in the zip file. Head over to illRoots to read what Waxx had to [...]

Another busy new release Tuesday is upon us and we sample an array of artists and genres on today's program. As a long time of the Apples in Stereo , I'm very excited that Electronic Projects for Musicians is out today on Yep Roc . It's a b-sides and rarities compilation that spans ten years and several delightful albums. We get to a couple tracks from that, including "Stephen Stephen," a tribute to Stephen Colbert . Also, new music from The Black Keys, Sun Kil Moon, REM, and more. To [...]
