Årtiet lakker så småt mod enden, og i den anledning har Frekvens kigget tilbage på de bedste plader fra perioden 2000 – 2009. Alle redaktionens medlemmer har således indleveret deres top 25 lister over årtiets plader, og de er nu blevet regnet sammen til Frekvens' definitive top 60 over årtiets bedste albums. Ikke mindre end 145 albums har været med i overvejelserne, men Arcade Fires debut endte med at blive den suveræne vinder, af et i øvrigt utroligt stærkt felt. Death Cab For Cutie forsangeren Ben Gibbards hyggeprojekt The Postal Service rendte med 2. pladsen, blandt andet foran to [...]

We recently debuted the track "Blood" by Australian band THE MIDDLE EAST over at the Association of Music Podcasting before it appeared here - and now finally have a chance to introduce it at Insomnia Radio on the Daily Dose feed. The members of The Middle East hail from Townsville, a town situated in the far north of the country and adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef. It is here that the band created and recorded the five songs that make up the "Recordings Of The Middle East", of which this track "Blood" is a part [...]

When I went to see Loney Dear at Lee's Palace a couple of years ago , the experience was far and away a much more thrilling one than I ever could have anticipated. I walked away from that show converted from casual fan to rabid fan, and I couldn't wait to see singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanängen again. Sadly, my wait had to be postponed a tad when his bus broke down back in May, but all can now be forgiven since the rescheduled show at The Horseshoe was every bit as satisfying as the first [...]

Swedish songstress Anna Ternheim opened the night, borrowing a few members of Loney Dear to provide the instrumentation behind her sweet pipes. The collaboration worked beautifully, as Ternheim's tunes align more closely with Loney Dear's gentle style than the Asobi Seksu set that would follow. Undoubtedly, Ternheim won over some new fans; she made the most of her opening opportunity, and was called back to the stage by the crowd for an encore, despite only being the appetizer. As Asobi Seksu took the stage, it quickly became clear that [...]

[Anna] Ternheim 's careful precision led to Loney Dear 's contrapuntal harmonies, which led to Asobi Seksu 's waves of distortion, and voices soared higher as words grew less distinct. Like Suzanne Vega, Ternheim sings in [...]

Loney Dear | Bowery Ballroom | October 16, 2009 I feel a little silly that I've been getting this band's name wrong, but I only just now noticed it. Oops! Anyway, Sweden's Loney Dear played at Bowery Ballroom the other night in between Anna Ternheim 's opening set and Asobi Seksu 's headlining one. The set seemed a little awkward to me. While I appreciate the efforts to get audience participation, a little explanation on how to do so would've been nice. It seemed only a few small number of [...]
