![[MP3] The Lulls In Traffic – "Silver Bells Are Ringing Only Grey"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3949245_lg.jpg)
so won't you lend your ear, 'cause i've never known a holiday without you here ♫ The Lulls In Traffic - Silver Bells Are Ringing Only Grey I didn't organize a holiday mix this year because life has been hectic and there didn't seem to be much new stuff (until just recently ) but I had to post this dark and beautiful holiday track. The Lulls In Traffic are the new project from Aaron Marsh (of the awesome Copeland) and lyricist Ivan Ives. Copeland's gorgeous melodies and Aaron's delicate vocals are [...]
As with anything that pops up on their Soundcloud these days I'm not entirely sure what this is or where this is from, but considering that the Inga's vocals are pretty dominant, I assume it really is a Copeland tune and not a Hype Williams one. The title might or might not be "Belvedere". In any case I dig it. In related news, there are still copies left of that rad VHS of collected HW Youtube works, released a few weeks back by Hundebiss . Cop it here . Speaking of, I [...]
I was enjoying life in the remote areas of France recently so I missed the last one of those classy, wordless mails by Hype Williams (as ever written by the project's faceless keeper "Denna Frances Glass") that as usual included nothing but a Soundcloud link that of course only remained valid for a few hours, so I was quite happy to learn that our friend and fellow HW admirer Ian Nelson has been quick/aware enough to cop "But Life Goes On Nahmean", the duo's latest track that's actually not been dropped as a "proper" Hype Williams tune but [...]
Another gem dusted off from our vault…Phoenix/LA based band KNESSET and their video for the song " Bitter Hearts " prove that it doesn't take a major label and their life savings to record a quality performance-based music video; just some lights, an HD camera and a creepy practice space that gives the viewer insight to "where the magic happens". Their indie/shoegaze aesthetic moves steadily as this track plays on. Breath-y vocals that sing like Broken Social Scene are the driving force of the song. Their album Coming Of Age is available for only [...]
Here's another track from Inga Copeland's killer 12 inch that's been released as a white label via Amsterdam-based imprint Rushhour recently. U Gotta Respect Yrself Before I Can is the shortest and only instrumental piece on the four-track EP, but its briefness notwithstanding, which in a way makes it seem like a mere interlude, it's still tighter (or as you may prefer: poppier) than most of the stuff Inga has been doing with Hype Williams this year. The EP is (as yet) not available digitally, and the vinyl appears to [...]
What happens when you put together three of the best drummers in the history of rock with one of the genre's best bassists? Tool's Danny Carey, Stewart Copeland of The Police, Rush's Neil Peart and bassist Les Claypool recently got together to jam at Copeland's studio and have shared a clip called Count Drumula from the session... Peart and Copeland shared the video with members of their respective fan clubs, but no one's talking about whether this was just a one-time jam session or a future supergroup. We sure hope it's the latter, though [...]
Ho questa affermazione in testa che mi fa ridere: a me non piace parlare di quello che mi è successo. Detto così mi fa sembrare l'incoerenza fatta a persona, ma per come vedo le cose ogni corpus di fatti miei qui scritti e letti non sono 'un modo di parlare di me' ma al più un raccontare. Soffermarsi sui formanti plastici o su come eravamo vestiti, non tanto chi-cosa-come, oppure in piccola dose dire di vicende e di canzoni che le hanno accompagnate o che me ne ricordano è l'azione virtuale del raccontare. Parlare è esporsi e dire che [...]
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Hype Williams has come to be one of my favorite artists this year so far. The duo, Roy Blunt and Inga Copeland are set to release an EP on the Hyperdub label sometime in July, which is going to be great but nothing comparable as to what Inga is fabricating on her own time. 'Can We' and 'Trample', are two of her jams that have been floating around the experimental blogsphere for quite sometime now and I just can't get enough of them. 'Can We' floors a haunting [...]
Mp3: Inga Copeland - Trample
So this appears to have become the weapon of choice du jour of our ever-enigmatic London/Berlin superduo Hype Williams , to drop tunes without further ado and to let us believe those are Inga Copeland solo works. On the other hand, of course, this might just as well simply be the truth. In any case, just as with Can We , the track we'd posted a short while ago , stylistically speaking this is a Hype Williams tune, moreover, this one's a seriously brilliant Hype Williams tune, in fact the best I've come across in [...]
So. I'm not really sure what this is and thus what to do with it but it's dope so I'm gonna share it now. Actually, chances are there might not be that much to it anyway. This track was posted yesterday on the Soundcloud of a certain Denna Frances, you know, that mysterious woman who had taken care of the project Hype Williams before (?) the involvement of its current members Dean Blunt aka whoever and Inga Copeland. In other words, Can We appeared on Hype Williams' Soundcloud yesterday for a short period of [...]
![[SKOA Presents] Nikki Kummerow - Firecracker (Full Album Stream)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3377334_lg.jpg)
Australia's folk songstress Nikki Kummerow 's self-released debut album Firecracker hit digital shelves today. You may have been fortunate enough to catch her during SXSW at her small handful of shows. If you didn't, you missed out on a gorgeous set of pipes used to broadcast a girl's soul searching all set to airy folk melodies. With the help of producer Aaron Marsh (frontman of now defunct Copeland), Kummerow has crafted Firecracker to almost read like a diary. On the track, "It's Come To My Attention", she bravely sings, [...]
People often say death is merely a new beginning, an adage that rings especially true in the world of music. In this case, from the ashes of Lydia and Copeland rises States , featuring Mindy White and brothers Bryan and Stephen Laurenson. It's easy to see how the beautiful music made by both of States' alma maters has given rise to this new project, even if it sounds strikingly similar to Eisley . Luckily, I love Eisley so no harm, no foul. Similarities aside, States allows White to shine vocally far more than she did from the sidelines [...]
Jeremy Enigk - Been Here Before "Those diamond days A thousand strands of sunlight in her eyes." I am not sure if I completely understand the meaning behind this tune, but it is so beautiful to me. I hadn't listened to Sunny Day Real Estate really, so I never knew of Jeremy Enigk 'til I heard this song, but it is genius to me. If you enjoyed that track, here are few others that might also tickle your fancy… The Fire Theft - Heaven [...]
Copeland - You Have My Attention I think the genre of music Copeland falls under explains most of the type of music I listened to in the last two years of high school. I attended many shows in high school, in which most of the time I was there to see Mae, but then I would also see Copeland and Sherwood alongside them. But not til a few years ago did I really start enjoying the music of Copeland. Then of coarse, they broke up, like most of my favorites do. I should really try sticking [...]
Stephen Christian seems to have done it all. Top 15 album? Check, with Anberlin's Cities. Started a charitable organization? Yup, Faceless International. How about written a novel? Absolutely, The Orphaned Anything's.So naturally you'd expect him to keep trying new things, something he has done with his side project Anchor & Braille. Written by Christian himself, and co-produced with Aaron Marsh
