Give Is Tropical's "When O' When" a couple minutes to heat up... and then feel uncomfortable. This track heads in a few different direction but never loses its raw pop roots. Reminds me of a mix between Test Icicles and the Klaxons.
I apologize for my online absence - but there's some good stuff coming - I promise. That includes this selection of three noteworthy new artists of course: Sleep Whale - After a beautiful debut EP and an equally strong full-length both released this year, it was clear to me that Sleep Whale (originally known as Mom) were a band worthy of mention here. The (almost) entirely instrumental Little Brite EP (first released in 07) showed a band that could build gorgeous soundscapes [...]
Queen of DIY, tUnE-YaRdS, released her (awesome) debut album, BiRd-BrAiNs , earlier this year , but a deluxe version is now out on 4AD with some bonus remixes of her track, "Hatari." What a gift! The song was remixed by Drunkenmonkey, Karn and The Small Is Beautiful, but I'll give you the Drunkenmonkey version because it's just the best of the bunch (no pun intended??). tUnE-YaRdS - "Hatari (Drunkenmonkey remix)" [MP3] tUnE-YaRdS -"Hatari" [MP3] [via Stereogum ] While You're [...]
La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
I was wondering how long it was going to be before we had an official piece of mail about our dear Mr. Vincent Turner (aka Vincent Frank, aka Frankmusik )...

Lightspeed Champion Life Is Sweet! Nice to Meet You (Domino) Releasing: 1 February [U.K.] 16 February [U.S.] "Marlene", the first single from the sophomore Lightspeed Champion (of Test Icicles fame) album has a pretty snazzy trailer. They way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if everything started getting trailers. Vaccinations. Traffic violations. Filibusters. It's a slippery slope. Nigh frictionless, dare I say. SONG LIST 01 Dead Head Blues 02 Marlene 03 There's Nothing Underwater...
Detrás del nombre de esta banda nos encontramos a la cantante Shana Levy, que tras dejar el grupo indie Irving en noviembre del año 2002 decidió embarcarse en esta nueva aventura musical. Para ello se rodeó de gente como Tanya Haden, Nikki Monninger, Brent Turner y Byron Reynolds y juntos grabaron una primera maqueta en la que contaron con el ingeniero de sonido Chris Chandler (Flaming Lips/Modest Mouse/Elliott Smith) y el productor Rod Cervera (The Rentals/Weezer). Su primer disco de larga duración se llama The Chaos In Order, se trata de un delicioso álbum en donde [...]

Dev Hynes has announced the release of Lightspeed Champion 's sophomore full-length, a sixteen track, double intermission-y upper entitled Life Is Sweet! Nice To Meet You . If his more straightforward pop tunes under the Lightspeed Champion moniker don't ring a or your bell, you might may recognize him as one part of punk bombardiers Test Icicles or a guest on the lovely new Basement Jaxx record. In any event, Hynes' new output will be arriving on February 1 in the UK, February 16th in North America as confirmed by Hynes' label Domino . Tracklist [...]
Kylie was my main reason in going to New York. She was also playing in Toronto but I was like, eh, now that I'm in MTL, I'm almost equidistant from Toronto and New York. Pourquoi pas New York? A good excuse to go to a city I haven't been to in five years. Plus, my friends in Vancouver were flying all the way to New York for this too! And so off I went in my rideshare and six hours later I arrived in the Big Apple. My friends and I lined up at noon in front of [...]
![Lightspeed Champion: Falling Off The Lavendar Bridge [Album Review]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2061530_lg.jpg)
Devonte Hynes was once in a band called Test Icicles and if you're aware of that group's blend of indie-rock, hip-hop and punk, be prepared to be surprised, 'cause Hynes's new project Lightspeed Champion is a pretty big change. Instead of the loud guitars that fit well with similar groups like pre-Islands band The Unicorns, Hynes now focuses his talent on creating minimalistic orchestral-like movements with a violin and acoustic guitar. The melodies are sweet but slightly harsh and pointed—and I mean that in the best of ways. [...]
What is there to say about New Order? And how on earth do you select from an almost thirty year career? Two posts on New Order, one covering Technique-related material. And the other their rather lost millennium remixes. Everyone knows that Manchester-band New Order were formed from the ashes of Joy Division in the aftermath of Ian Curtis' suicide. They would become one of the UK's most influential bands of the 1980s once they emerged from the shadow of Ian and particularly after the ground-breaking "Blue Monday" single in 1983. Managing that trick once is astonishing enough but [...]
[Mute; 10/06/2009] The "summer-beach-pop" discourse has been built up and proliferated with such force recently that it may take a while for most of us to realize how inexcusable it was to allow seasonal language to overshadow the caliber of the music itself. But when the sun says goodbye to the once-bright sky and the ice returns to haunt our hearts and turn our sidewalks into fucked-up, slippery, sloshed-out messes, the sounds of summer will, just like summer itself, fade away like all sunny-ephemera does. There will be frostburn and snot-icicles where there was once sunburn and sand-snot. [...]

New Radio Shack commercial features Let's Go Sailing's "Icicles"
Click here to view the embedded video. Well, the mainstream is picking up on this a bit late, but better late then never, right? Let's Go Sailing's brilliantly sweet The Chaos In Order has been a constant listen since it came out a couple years ago. One of the most memorable tracks is "Icicles" (though it's hard to pick a legit standout track because they're all so good), which Radio Shack realized (...two years late) and have now decided to feature it on their appropriate wintry commercial, "Product Tree Farm".

Vladislav Delay:
Finnish composer Sasu Ripatti made the album Tummaa while living on a remote island in the Arctic Circle during Finland's "kaamos" season, when there are only a few hours of light a day. "Tummaa means dark or darkness, which reflects the music on the album," he says. Part of this track's darkness is born of confusion: "Toive" sounds electronic, but it isn't. Tummaa features Ripatti on percussion, Agentina's Lucio Capece on clarinet and saxophone, and Scotland's soundtrack composer Craig Armstrong on piano and Rhodes. This particular track is a melding [...]
TRACK REVIEW: "WINTER SONG" BY KYP MALONE
by chris carpenter Rain Machine is the solo work of TV On The Radio's Kyp Malone. The track "Winter Song" is one of the best I've heard in sometime which prompted today's review. First and foremost, the song is over 11 minutes long, so if you're purely a fan of the pop blueprint, 4-minute track, immediately cease from reading further and check out the latest MGMT song. Then, pop your collar, go to your local watering hole, order [...]
