In the current climate of singer-songwriter musicianship, Fiona Apple is constantly heralded as a mad genius whose writing process seems almost like the fermentation of ideas. Her melodies are stringent and emotionally charged, and it continually excuses regular four-year gaps between records. Though her classic Extraordinary Machine may be her shining glory, The Idler Wheel... (or The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Chords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do ) will be held [...]

Desde que aparecio " All The Rowboats " he estado pensando que probablemente este nuevo album de Regina Spektor estara rodeado de una cierta vibra un poco oscura como la que se hace presente dentro de ese track asi como el beatbox que nos presento pero no, conforme he ido checando los demas avances de "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" me he ido topando con el estilo que ya todos conocemos de Regina Spektor en el que se hace presente un sentimiento mucho mas limpio dentro de sus bases de piano con las cuales [...]

![[Listen] – Regina Spektor – “Don’t Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4156299_lg.jpg)
Listen to Regina Spektor 's new song "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" below, taken from her album "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" . This "new" Regina Spektor actually first appeared on her 2002 album "Songs" as the album's closing track, but now as part of her new album "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" she's re-recorded the track, as she's done with other songs on the album. The new version is a minute shorter and has a [...]
Tweet Listen to Regina Spektor 's new song "All The Rowboats" from her upcoming album "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" . Announced last November, Regina Spektor makes her return to studio recorded album territory this May with "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" , and now we can hear the first taste of what we can expect from the quirky songstress.

Para serles sinceros no tenia tanto interes en escuchar lo nuevo de Regina Spektor en cuanto saliera a la luz peeero, al empezar a escuchar los primeros segundos del primer sencillo de su nuevo material titulado "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" abordo mi atencion por completo y conforme fue avanzando, debo decir que "All The Rowboats" se coloco dentro de mi muy humilde gusto desde la primer reproduccion y estoy casi seguro que si ustedes han estado esperando con muchas ansias lo nuevo de Regina Spektor ; este primer adelanto los dejara con un muuuy [...]
![[Ones To Watch] – Introducing – Kishi Bashi](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4004713_lg.jpg)
Tweet One of the rewards of being a fan of a particular band, besides their actual music, is that you sometimes get to reap the benefits of the music they’re into. In this case it was Sondre Lerche and his uncanny ability to pick remarkably talented show openers. Before attending his summer tour I had never even heard of multi-instrumentalist K. Ishibashi, a.k.a. Kishi Bashi . It’s sort of surprising I hadn’t heard of Ishibashi sooner, considering [...]
![[Introducing] – Rah Rah](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3801333_lg.jpg)
Tweet Okay, look: I freely admit that today's Introducing post could potentially be seen as a bit slow off the mark. Does a band still qualify as new if they've released two full-length albums and formed six years ago? No, probably not. Whatever: Rah Rah were new to me. Besides, as much as it's fun to discover a band when they're just taking off, it tends to lead to frustration and/or disappointment. You wait for ages for each little musical morsel to be [...]
![[Listen] Thenewno2: "Live A Lie" (Feat. Regina Spektor)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3686629_lg.jpg)
La verdad nunca he estado tan familiarizado con lo que ha hecho este proyecto de Londres llamado Thenewno2 pero, hace unos momentos mientras recorria varios sitios en busca de algo interesante, me encontre con que estan proximos a lanzar un nuevo EP el cual incluye unas colaboraciones bastante buenas como la de RZA y esta que pueden escuchar aqui abajo donde participa Regina Spektor en un track titulado "Live A Lie". Pero bueno, entrare un poco la informacion sobre este nuevo lanzamiento ya que he de decirles que esta colaboracion no esta nada mal, de hecho tiene una [...]
![[Listen] Regina Spektor: "My Man" (Fanny Brice Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3651897_lg.jpg)
La nueva temporada de Boardwalk Empire por HBO empieza en septiembre y con motivo de esto, obviamente tiene que haber un soundtrack en el que para esta ocasion, han reclutado a Regina Spektor para que aparesca dentro de OST de esta nueva temporada y que mejor, que con un cover. Un cover que en lo personal me parece que le viene a la pefeccion con su tono de voz y el estilo que tanto le gusta utilizar para la creacion de sus canciones y bueno, se trata de una version sumamente oldie de "My Man" original de Fanny Brice y [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Stereogum Presents… Stroked: A Tribute To “Is This It”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3604568_lg.jpg)
Tweet It's been ten years since The Strokes released the raw, genre-defining album "Is This It", which has since been named the Best Album of the Decade by NME, among other titles and accolades. Holy shit! Ten years? It still sounds hip today, which cannot be said for a lot of other popular releases from 2001. Stereogum brings us this compilation of covers in tribute to the album, each track covered once by an artist from a different perspective. They've released similar [...]
Tweet It hasn't even been a week since Twin Sister offered up two new songs from their "Bad Street" 103 single. The b-sides were both a step down from the baby-funk of lead track "Bad Street", one being an instrumental ("In Heaven") and the other being a delicate acoustic number ("You Remind Me Of"), and with demo "Peach" they've brought back a slice of the funk. Initially I felt like I was in orientation for a [...]
![[Introducing] – Star Commander](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3597039_lg.jpg)
Tweet Photo © Olivia Themudo It took me all of about five seconds of listening to Star Commander to be sold. Their debut album "The World Was Sinking & I Was Hardly Surprised" opens with one of the nicer guitar riffs I've heard recently, but don't let your guard down: this isn't bland vanilla rock. Sure, "Leave Her In America" shares a chord progression with Chairlift 's "Bruises", but that is precisely where the similarities end. [...]
Tweet Marking the official release of "Bad Street", the first single from their upcoming album "In Heaven", Twin Sister posted both of the b-sides to their blog and below you can hear them both. Fragile and fractured, both songs are removed from the sun-drenched haze found on earlier EPs and singles, with "In Heaven" being a four minute instrumental that's actually doing wonders for my late-night chillaxathon, and "You Remind Me Of" barely making it past the 2:30 mark. Check [...]
Tweet A year and a wee chunk ago, Brooklyn's Twin Sister dropped "Color Your Life", a free six-song EP, and last night on Twitter they announced that their album "In Heaven" is finally coming out on September 27th. That EP was huge in that it blended fourteen different styles into one delightful burst, from the organic and restrained wonder of "All Around And Away We Go", or the sullen promise of "Lady Daydream", awash [...]
![[Listen] – New Song By Roxy Rawson – “Fingers”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3431722_lg.jpg)
Tweet Singer/violinist/percussion enthusiast Roxy Rawson drew a fair bit of buzz around her debut EP "Changing Things" back in 2009, along with a few not unwarranted comparisons to Regina Spektor . After a couple of years gigging in London, she's got a new single to share with us: "Fingers". "Fingers" was apparently conceived when Roxy was 'pondering the answer to our earthly existence' while looking over London from Parliament Hill. Weighty origins, but the song starts lightly enough, with nothing more than Roxy's [...]
