"Feet to the sky" is the debut-single from UK indie/folk/pop-band Lulu & The Lampshades , and the wonderful cover-art made by Kate Slater is as colourful as the music on this single is. Some of you may remember that we have presented this band earlier here on Eardrums, and I was quite excited when I got my hands on their first single. The single is out today on the new London label Voga Parochia , a label I have high hopes for. The girls [...]
wenn man schon so einen gewichtigen namen trägt. auf important records ( aktuelle alben von eliane radigue und merzbow ) gibt es jene musik zu hören, von der mancher nicht einmal zu träumen wagte, geschweige denn sie sich vorzustellen. sie zu hören, ist eine andere bank. doch wer glaubte an den gelungenen versuch, akkordeon und stimme so in einen einklang zu bringen, dass der offensichtliche verzicht auf eine melodie keinen verlust bedeutet? in ambientes miteinander, ein schütteres auftauen, so meine ich jedenfalls, pauline oliveros ' minimalistische klangmeditationen ("accordion & voice war ihr erstes solowerk in 2007) zu [...]

These are the few facts I know about Lulu and the Lampshades . (… and since everything I know is taken from different unconfirmed sources on the internet, I'm not even sure if I know anything at all): 1. Well, I KNOW this for sure: They sound brilliant, got a wonderful name and play a kind of indie/folk/pop with a lot of soul and playfulness, and I want to hear more! I also know for sure that if you are in London on the 5th [...]
If White Lies have come up with one of the greatest rock albums this year as I mentioned in the post about White Lies a while ago. Then Filthy Dukes probably has made one of the greatest synth electro albums of 2009. "Nonsense In The Dark" was the right thing already after the first listening. It is catchy and it makes you wanna dance. It's a good mix of all different kind of tunes with different guest artists such as Tommy Sparks who is doing the vocals on their latest [...]
If you like CocoRosie and Jolie Holland you'll like the sound of Elizabeth Devlin. Armed only with an Autoharp, she sings of the loveless and unrequited with the sweetest intonation. What beautifully sickly sweet music she does make. She released 'All Are Relative' at the end of last year. You can also catch her in the North of England before she floats back to her haven of New York. Ahhh. Elizabeth Devlin – Heloise and Abelard /myspace
British Filthy Dukes has been no strangers to the pages of top blogs & NME over the last pile of months, bringing their name to light with their Band-ability, popular DJ Sets & production skills, they've recorded a collaboration with a Girls Aloud & even landed remixes for big acts like Heloise & The Savoir Faire, The Rakes, The Maccabees, Late of the Pier and White Lies ! Their album Nonsense In The Dark has been described as one of the best of the year by Tronik Youth among [...]
Filthy Filthy no parecen Estos tipos vienen a España este finde, así que no está de más hacer una especie de review para saber quien son, para aquellos que no los conozcan, y así aprovecho para neonizarlos que bien se merecen esto y más. Los Filthy Dukes son un trío londinense que se encargan de hacer un Synth-pop algo oscurete (no demasiado) y bailongo a la vez. Me dio por compararlos con Depeche Mode (salvando las distancias, mucho menos oscuros y más fiesteretes, incluso puede que no le encuentres ningún tipo de [...]

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published books. Lauren Groff's The Monsters of Templeton was one of my favorite novels of 2008 , and I eagerly anticipated her debut collection of short fiction, Delicate Edible Birds . This collection surprised me, I had been impressed with many of these stories in assorted literary journals, but never associated them with Groff (I have short story author aphasia, until an [...]
