Out: 8th February Label: NYLON Records Website: Myspace Buy: Amazon Being the owner of a fully functional set of bollocks as I am, reviewing About Love , the second full-length release from french indie hipsters The Plastiscines , is fraught with danger. Danger of being labelled a typical sexist bloke. Danger of being labelled racist and coming across somewhat Anti-French. Danger of even sounding down right out of touch, [...]

Adorned in a black shirt with puffy sleeves and a guitar strapped high, it was unclear if St. Vincent herself was going to be swallowed up by her surroundings. The typical indie-rock paradox would have Annie Clark slice through the environs with a single vocal slash to leave no doubt as to who was queen. But St. Vincent plays with opposites the way a toddler does with applesauce; she owns a far more delicate voice, ever teetering on the edge of self-determined rhythm and tune. Indeed, her slight frame initially betrays the gravity of her lyrics; her unruly [...]

Toronto - Lets take a time machine. The year we are going back to is 2003. Queue up the Delorean, doc! Wow. 2003. What a time. George W is still the president of the US, Friends was still on the error, and the Strokes were still in their early 20s. Ricky had just moved from dreary Edmonton to new and exciting Toronto and was in the process of stealing as many of his friend's friends as possible. What's more, there's this really cool collaboration between Death Cab for Cutie's [...]

Manchester's 808 State have a long and illustrious career. And in "Pacific State" lay claim to one of dance's classic tracks. We'll have a few posts of non-album mixes. 808 State was formed back in 1988 in Eastern Bloc, a DJ record shop in Manchester England run by Martin Price. Customers Graham Massey of Biting Tongues fame and Gerald Simpson got talking with Martin and soon realised how much they had in common. After recording a Hip-Hop flavoured EP as the 'Hit Squad Manchester' together with MC Tunes, they decided to call themselves 808 State. They [...]

NPR is streaming the new Shearwater album, The Golden Archipelago (out February 23rd). The Telegraph profiles author Daniel Handler. About his family life, though, he is guarded, revealing only everyday details: he likes cooking, walking his son to school, playing music. It's this discordance that is most intriguing about him: the shadow between the goofy, real-life Handler, and his ravaged, obsessive alter ego. Flashes of dry humour bubble up. When I ask him about [...]
Who : The Ruby Suns Title : Fight Softly Release Date : March 2nd Label : Sub Pop Thoughts : As a huge fan of The Ruby Suns last effort, Sea Lion , I was a bit concerned when I heard that Ryan McPhun and company were going to veer away from the catchy indie pop that had so fully endeared me and countless others to the band in the [...]

Proud to be different, Brighton's purveyors of indie-dance-blues Ice Black Birds announce the release of their debut single "Ears To the Ground" along with a string of UK tour dates. Coming from Brighton, you'd expect a rather different sound to emerge from young band Ice Black Birds which features guitarist/lead vocalist Sam Denniston , lead guitarist George Grinling , bassist Harry Bohay-Nowell and drummer Pierre McFarlane . However, this band are looking to set themselves apart from the pack with their [...]
![[SLNT009] Tetarise – k.a.m.a. (2010)](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2318882_lg.jpg)
"k.a.m.a." is an attempt to recreate certain episodes of my past. Various memories come to thought â some are good, some arenât. They are partial, blurred and fullfilled with the imagination. That's why almost half of them are garbled and seem more like a dream rather than reality. Most usual and common episodes become warmer and enlightened, even can cause joy or a smile. Significant events resemble miracles in the darkness of everyday life www-tracey.archive.org silent.com.md [...]
Country music goes Hawaiian in this mash up of musical styles where something mysterious is always happening. Courtney Jaye does something sweet and wonderful on her country-music-goes-Hawaiian mash-up. She finds the common sensibility at the heart of both genres, not just in the instrumentation (lap steel guitars) and lilting melodies but in the genuine loopiness that comes out of just being sincere. Jaye's narrators aren't afraid to get down an beg for love ("Sometimes Always"), drown their sorrows in cheap alcohol ("Box Wine"), or kick themselves for being stupid ("Queen of Sabotage")....
Randy Weston radiates greatness. The legendary jazz musician possesses a rare combination of gentle grace and regal bearing. Even people who have no idea that the 83-year-old was apprenticed by Thelonious Monk, was produced by Duke Ellington and was a collaborator with the likes of Langston Hughes and Charles Mingus surely recognize that Weston exudes a powerful energy. It was all I could do to keep from bowing in his majestic presence during the hour I spent with Weston Thursday morning at the American Jazz Museum . Other obligations prevented me from attending [...]
J Dilla - E=MC2 feat Common I can't end off the day without mentioning the anniversaries it marks: the 10th anniverary of Big Pun's passing and the 26th birthday of an idol of mine, J Dilla. I'm going to keep it honest and say that although I'm a fan of Big Pun and some of his [...]
