Poliça’s debut Give You The Ghost scored highly in the lists last year ( check it out ) so it’s pleasing to see that they’re back so soon with a new single, featuring fellow Gayngs member Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). “Tiff” hasn’t lost any of Polica’s intriguing spacey synth-scapes, and Justin Vernon’s soothing vocals meld effortlessly with Channy Leaneagh’s to form a somewhat pleasant gloopyness – and if space-gloop doesn’t quite sound like a good thing on paper? That’s understanding, but have a good listen anyway... By Nathan Hetherington [...]
American experimental indie group POLIÇA is about to release the follow-up to last year's successful debut Give You The Ghost later this year. Details on the release are still to follow, but already today the group around front woman Channy Leaneag is sharing Tiff, the first single from it with us. And she's getting some The post Poliça announces new album, shares "Tiff" featuring Bon Iver appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

2012 was a huge year for electronic pop-soul band Polica . They played Sasquatch, garnered praise from Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, and released their first studio album "Give You the Ghost". Moreover, after a successful live show at the Biltmore Cabaret last August, the band is returning to Vancouver for another breathtaking performance at Vancouver's Fortune Sound Club on April 7. Advanced tickets are $17 and they can be purchased online or at Red Cat, Zulu and Highlife Records. For a chance to win [...]
Descubrí el proyecto de Pat Grossi gracias a mi hermano, que me puso en la pista de su EP " Curtis Lane ". Eran sólo 6 canciones, publicadas por Merok, pero lo suficientemente interesantes como para esperar con bastante ilusión el estreno en formato largo: un chico con una voz de escolanía (no es una licencia artística, por lo visto su angelical timbre militó en algo llamado Philadelphia Boys Choir and Chorale) que daba a sus cristalinas composiciones un barniz electrónico, haciéndole sonar como un Justin Vernon rodeado de sintetizadores. A destacar esa preciosidad llamada " Wilderness ", un bellísimo [...]

O Avec Sans é uma banda moderna de pop moderno. Eles fazem suas músicas em computadores, contam com a ajuda de blogs e sites como Hype Machine para divulgá-las e até se inspiraram em uma certa fonte para dar o nome da banda. Formado pelos britânicos Alice Fox e Jack James, o duo chamou atenção este ano com o lançamento de um cover de "Perth" , do Bon Iver, que manteve a beleza da original mas transformou a produção em uma sinfonia eletrônica de sintetizadores. "The Answer" é a segunda canção original do duo, e a melhor [...]

The people in Talvik's songs are weary, but they've also, miraculously, retained the stars in their eyes, those blazing gleams that they'll be damned if they ever let get rattled or ripped from them. Sofia Talvik on Daytrotter My Daytrotter session is released today, and for all of you who asked about which album the Wichita Lineman cover is on, and I've said none - here it is! For all of you who [...]
![Playlist: Radio Radio on CHUO FM 89.1FM [September 5, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4489852_lg.jpg)
Today I was on CHUO FM 89.1FM at 3pm. For now the show will be under Radio Radio. This was my second time going solo. Still needing to fix some kinks. Here are the songs that I played today. Yamantaka // Sonic Tian - Reverse Crystal // Murder of a Spider Reverse Crystal // Murder of a Spider by YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN [...]
Philadelphia's natives Work Drugs are back with a new remix! After releasing their self-entitled album, they're remixing Bon Iver's "Beth/Rest." I guess there's no one better than them to remix one of the artists that probably influenced the music they play. Once again they deliver another brilliant rework of a single that is already brilliant. [...]

18 year old Ed Tullet , out of England is impressing me a great deal with his debut record, Never Joy. Easily the best part about this lad, is his voice, and boy, what a voice it is. He has the ability to carry a track in falsetto in complete ease, but when he wants to sing a hook in a more traditional pop sense, well he pulls that off beautifully as well. The album has had over 10,000 plays since last week. those are ridiculous stats for a guy who recorded this whole thing in [...]

I'll never stop loving the beauty of a physical album; everything from the scent of a new vinyl, to the magic of reading the lyrics and seeing the images inside the insert, to the touch of the glossy, matte or recycled paper, and the most important factor - the cover art of the actual overall masterpiece. Here is some of the best album art of 2011. It's easy to see in all of these artists, that there was an actual thought to the structure of not only their music but how it visually sounds. Enjoy! [...]

Here is part two of counting down the singles and music videos of 2011. This time it is counting down from #30 to #11. Most of the singles are compiled from the Singles Chart on my site.

TMOT's top 5 albums of 2011, in no particular order 1. Bon Iver, Bon Iver Forget Emma, forget Kanye, forget the Grammys, forget the cabin in the woods. Jubilation is not apparent in Bon Iver, not at first. But how else could "Towers" be described? It's a gorgeous love song, and despite the occasionally unintelligible [...]

2011. What wasn't to love? The rise of weirdo R&B, the fall of chillwave, the end of R.E.M. We started the construction of this list over a month ago. One truly epic and extensive Google spreadsheet later, we arrived at this list. We sorted and sorted and sorted, listened through a TON OF STUFF, "traded jabs" on whether James Blake or Jamie Woon put on the tougher persona and etc. Thanks for reading and we hope y'all enjoy the list! 01. James Blake - The Wilhelm [...]

the drums portamento (το διάστημα ή το ταξίδι ανάμεσα σε δύο νότες) είναι η λέξη και ο συμβολισμός της που γοήτευσε τους εναπομείναντες στο σχήμα. Ωστόσο η λέξη die είναι αυτή που ακούγεται συχνότερα και διατρέχει ολόκληρο το άλμπουμ. Τέτοιο ευφορικό, νερβόζο πένθος είχα να ακούσω από Smiths και Orange Juice εποχή. Το Book of Revelation μάλιστα είναι ότι μου κόλλησε πιό απόλυτα και επίμονα τις τελευταίες μέρες. Ξυπνάω και κοιμάμαι με την κορώνα ...and I believe / that when we die we [...]
![[Listen] – Bon Iver & James Blake – “Fall Creek Boys Choir”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3672859_lg.jpg)
Tweet Up until now nobody knew what this was, other than some kinda of collaboration between Bon Iver and James Blake after Blake threw out a tweet saying about that much, oh, and that it was going down today. It could've just been that today they were doing the collab, or that today they were just gonna hang out and kinda discuss it, or get together and draw some trees and wee baby rivers or something. Not so, as today [...]

I have been pretty busy lately with my thesis and all, so i'm going to post a run down of what I have been enjoying of late. The Dear Hunter - The Colour Spectrum Vinyl There is no question that this is an epic set of music - each EP brings a different level, a different perspective and inspiration to the table and I have been enjoying the whole thing (36 tracks) immensely. Picking this up is essential. [...]
