As many of you know, ?uestlove is probably the biggest J Dilla fanatic there is; I guarantee he has just about every piece of music that James Yancey composed. ?uesto was on Hot97 today as a guest dj, and every song in his show was related to J Dilla; I only wish I could have listened to this live because ?uestlove is one of the most knowledgeable musicians of all-time, and I can guarantee he put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this. As far as a dj set is concerned, ?uestlove [...]
Spencer Krug's Moonface project will release a new album, With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery, on April 17th. Krug recorded the album in Finland with Helsinki-based kraut-rockers Siinai, whose previous incarnation Joensuu 1685 toured with Krug's Wolf Parade in
Chicago musicians Bob Nanna and Lauren LoPiccolo have united to create simple, but dreamy, acoustic pop ditties under the moniker Jack and Ace . "I'm Sorry That You are the Black Death" pairs delicately plucked guitar melodies with earnest lyrics about, what else, love. Jack and Ace prove that melancholy doesn't need to be so complicated to be effective. Nanna is better known for his work with influential post-hardcore (or emo, if you like) outfit Braid and Hey Mercedes. LoPiccolo previously teamed up with Nanna in the City on Film. [...]
"When in doubt, choose Music" è il titolo della seconda compilation di sola musica indipendente italiana targata Fusoradio . Nasce grazie al rinnovato impegno de Gli IndiePatici : la prima trasmissione di Fusoradio interamente dedicata alla musica indipendente italiana, arrivata alla sua seconda stagione (nei primi 3 mesi ha già raccolto, tra dirette e podcast, circa 7mila ascoltatori). Si tratta in realtà di una raccolta, divisa in due lati. Due come le anime musicali che abbiamo voluto rappresentare e promuovere: una rock (Lato A) e l'altra elettronica (Lato B). Sonorità che secondo noi si [...]
Lunedì 20 febbraio, su etichetta Lucky Dog (label della band), esce "The Something Rain" nuovo disco dei Tindersticks . Ecco come è già stato accolto il nuovo lavoro: (The Something Rain) showcases a band who seem to have rediscovered new ways of putting together their already impressive constituent parts - Uncut 4/5 (The Something Rain is) experimental and intriguing, always retaining a sense of Tindersticks wonderful uniqueness – The Fly 3.5/5 A mind-blowing poetic masterpiece – [...]
The winter months are apt for dark and seductive synth-pop, even from artists on the West Coast that don't have to endure the blistering chill. Nite Jewel (real name Ramona Gonzalez) doesn't release her new album One Second of Love until March, but we've already heard a few tracks - like "She's Always Watching You"
"Mrs. Sleepyhead" is the lead single off Swedish singer Marie Lalás debut EP, Search of Sound . Inspired by parts '60s girl groups and Jazz-infused cabaret pop, Lalás' music is accessible and radio-friendly; the only reason she hasn't taken over pop airwaves yet is because her musical forays are brand new
The story of Willis Earl Beal rise to professional musician status sounds more like an inspirational disney movie than reality. After working a number of odd jobs in Albuquerque, NM, Beal was discovered originally not for his music, but an intriguing letter left on city sidewalks in which he was seemingly looking for a female companion. In fact, the Chicago Reader's Leor Galil did a great job of describing his, I guess, humble beginnings to his move back to his hometown of Chicago and eventual arrival [...]
St. Vincent released a music video for "Cheerleader", one of the highlights off last year's Strange Mercy, which placed #8 on our Top Albums of 2011. It features a gigantic Annie Clark laying on a pedestal in an art gallery. She slowly ascends from her fallen position as onlookers glance up, hypnotized at her singing
Nuovo video per i We Have Band . Diretto da Alex Turvey il video è un chiaro omaggio a "The Holy Mountain" di Alejandro Jodorowsky . VIDEO: We Have Band - Where Are Your People? pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES
I desideri possono correre veloci come pattini a rotelle, ma spesso si rischia di scivolare. Da Lisbona a Roma non esiste luogo dove essere al sicuro perché non c'è bianco in cui non si nasconde oscurità. Questa è la poetica bifronte di Simone Salvatori che emerge prepotente nella trasposizione canora del film "Odete". Questa pellicola del portoghese Joao Pedro Rodrigues , cineasta sospeso tra le ossessioni di Jarman e Fassbinder , lungo quella frontiera dove l'albore è tenebra, è anche l'ispirazione per il videoclip firmato da Paola Rotasso per il terzo singolo tratto dall'album [...]
La Stop Records presenta "Everyday is a D-Day" lo split che coinvolge i Girless & the Orphan con i Verily So . 4 canzoni, una inedita, una cover e le vicendevoli cover dei due. Il tutto è un atto d'amore/odio, verso il mondo, verso il prossimo. Everyday Is a D-Day (Girless & The Orphan + Verily So split cd) by Girless & The Orphan STREAMING: Girless & the Orphan + [...]
Si les fantasmes d'un amour virginal caressent délicieusement l'esprit à la vue du clip de Night In The Ocean , réalisé par Andrew de Freitas, Young Magic - patronyme derrière lequel se cache Isaac Emmanuel -, ce dernier ne concoure pourtant pas à la pudibonderie parfois lassante du duo Memoryhouse . Dream-pop atmosphérique épousant l'itinérance de son géniteur - Australien ayant bourlingué en Europe et au Mexique avant une sédentarisation provisoire à Brooklyn - et délicatement drapée d'un voile shoegaze aux ramifications tantôt électroniques ou électriques, la musique de Young Magic tend à cristalliser ses bonnes [...]
Novembre 2011, le métablog Altered Zone provoque sa fin. Janvier 2012, le passionnant Get Off the Coast s'éclipse lui aussi de la constellation bloggeuse. L'Armageddon est proche, Megaupload se fait littéralement squeezer de la galaxie quand Filesonic & co emboîtent le pas. On ne s'en rendait peut-être pas compte, mais on vivait une chouette époque, faite de découvertes quotidiennes et d'accès illimités à des contenus aussi riches que variés. Assertion que relèveront peut-être certains mais que, pour le moment, il parait bien futile d'asséner. Car si les projets passent, les personnes demeurent et leurs motivations conjuguées [...]
The Black Keys have released their official music video for the new single "Gold on the Ceiling" off of El Camino. It is a very catchy song and the video features the two rockers from Akron, Ohio performing in the studio, on stage and preparing for the stage. The video seems to put a little smile on your face as you watch the amount of effort and the amount of fun the two are having. If you haven't checked out the video yet, go ahead and if you haven't heard the song yet, it is [...]
Check out our exclusive premiere of Ross Fish's new song, "Puzzles", off his upcoming album Parables
I really hope that this means Fashawn & Exile are close to finishing Fashawn's sophomore effort The Ecolog ; Boy Meets World is still one of my favorite albums to this day. I spotted this gem at 2DopeBoyz yesterday, and needless to say, I fucking love it. The chemistry that is shown between Fash & Ex is amazing; even though Exile is a below average emcee, his style blends very well with Fashawn's witty wordplay. Even though Exile doesn't spit bars that will leave your face molten, he makes beats that surely will; I don't [...]
I spotted this the other day when I logged onto Facebook, but I really didn't have time to post it because of school work. "Still Standing" is the latest cut off of W.A.R. ( We Are Renegades ) to get the visual treatment, and much like "Clap (One Day)" , the video is very deep and has a lot of emotion behind it. If you still haven't succumbed to greatness and purchased Pharoahe's latest album, which is arguably one of the best efforts of 2011, break your headphones, and never listen to music again. Filed [...]
If you missed experimental psych poppers E+ at Schubas last week or just want to relive the experience, the band posted a few videos from the gig on its Facebook page. E+, a Chicago group made up of members from Verma, Heavy Times and Disappears, conjures dark and mysterious forces while dabbling in distortion. E+ track "Substance D" emits a steady hypnotic rhythm and plenty of groovy synthesizer embellishments. All you need to do is sit back and sway in your chair.
