The National have been making music since 1999, and for over a decade they’ve been consistently getting better at it. It’s hard to imagine that given the already grandiose nature of their style – a high-class blend of driving rock beats and chamber-pop instrumentation – but they’ve been refining that blend ever since their self-titled debut. In 2005, they completely nailed it with Alligator , and they've built upon it with each subsequent release of theirs: Boxer , the glorious High Violet [...]
Una semana antes de su lanzamiento, la banda estadounidense publicó su flamante álbum, Trouble Will Find Me , en iTunes . Trouble Will Find Me llegará a las tiendas el próximo 21 de mayo a través del sello 4AD y será el sucesor de High Violet , editado en 2010. Este material fue grabado en Nueva York, lo produjo la propia banda y las mezclas estuvieron a cargo de Craig Silvey [...]

El tema no se agota. Al disco Love this Giant de David Byrne y St. Vincent siguó como consecuencia lógica la gira, la cual arancó hace un par de semanas. Éste es uno de los discos que más ha dado de que hablar este año. Y es un buen álbum. Para los que sigue todo lo relacionado a esta colaboración, he aquí un tras bambalinas que nos deja ver no sólo cómo es un ensayo para la gira, sino también la tensión -positiva y profesional- entre Byrne y Clark.
David Byrne & St. Vincent - Love This Giant Release Date: Sept 7th, 2 01 2 Label: 4AD When it was first announced that David Byrne, the secretive but never isolated musician responsible for the Talking Heads and numerous other solo efforts, was going to collaborate with Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, anticipation and speculation immediately [...]
The title of this album is incorrect or, rather, incomplete. Yes, this is a collaboration between David Byrne and Annie Clark of St. Vincent but there's a third, equally important member: the brass. Love This Giant , out on 4AD/Todo Mundo , is absolutely packed with brass sections, melodies, and blasts. It gives off a temporal vibe, especially when placed in contrast with the electronic flourishes that are provided by the two talented musicians. Each track finds a new way to use the instruments [...]
David Byrne & St. Vincent Love This Giant 4AD Records [2012] Fire Note Says: David Byrne and St. Vincent produce an album full of soul, brass, beats, and bombast that will keep the groove for plays to come! Album Review: David Byrne has quite a musical past with everything from new wave and world music to alt. rock and pop. St. Vincent (Annie Clark) could be described [...]
Big surprise, a collaboration from David Byrne and St. Vincent is not what anyone would have expected, but is it any good? 4AD Records, 2012 8.8 / 10.0 Three years in the making, David Byrne and St. Vincent's collaborative effort, Love This Giant, is finally upon us. Perhaps the most [...]
Hay música que parece diseñada para ser inmemorable. Música que no ofrece ganchos jugosos, arreglos que erizen algún pelo (o nos hagan sacudir el esqueleto) o emociones por parte de sus intérpretes. Música que, además, carece de referentes; al menos una comparación sería útil para desecharla. Música que no cuaja porque nunca empezó a cuajar. De donde no sale un solo apunte de intención interesante. La crítica es a veces muy cobarde. El peso de las firmas hace que muchos "expertos" en el mundo de los sonidos tengan miedo de asumir ciertas realidades. Si los involucrados están consagrados [...]
We love the idea of collaborations. When you start creating music you have no co-ordinates to follow to get good results - as Sam Beckett said famously, you fail, then fail better. You slowly but surely establish your safe options: ways of expressing up and down, soft and harsh, things you can depend on. But it's this very surety that eventually undermines you. Caricature is your assassin. And it's what blights so much music these days that such clear co-ordinates to expression are so freely given as advice to younger musicians (in the myriad wannabe tv shows) or carved out [...]

E' davvero una strana copia quella formata da David Byrne e St.Vincent . Si attende così con grande curiosità il loro disco in accoppiata Love This Giant che la 4AD , con la Todo Mondo di Byrne , ha annunciato per l'11 settembre. L'ex anima dei Talking Heads e St.Vincent (aka Annie Clark) hanno scritto insieme i dodici brani di questo album Continua a leggere David Byrne & St.Vincent: [...]
I can’t wait to listen to Love This Giant , the album-length collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincent which will be out sometime next month. The band’s third album Strange Mercy (2011), a collection of kaleidoscopic art-damaged songs, is still on heavy rotation of course, and last weekend’s Summer Sonic 2012 festival in Japan provided us with the chance to get acquainted with the evolving music and lead singer Annie Clark’s intense stage performances. The mannered chamber pop of her debut Marry Me (2007) is a distant memory, ceding to [...]
You know the score. Supply an email address and get six MP3s, including a fantastic David Byrne and St. Vincent collaboration, Ariel Pink sounding a bit like The Byrds and the ubiquitous Genesis by Grimes.

The track will be made available to those who pre-order the album now. Stream it here . The album is out September 11th through 4AD / Todo Mundo .
Having already released one of the best tracks of the year so far with "Who" , St. Vincent & David Byrne 's LP collaboration Love This Giant is gearing up to be one of the best albums of the year, if for no other reason than based on the two tracks from it that we've now heard. "Who" is immense, but "Weekend In The Dust" is just as spectacular, highlighting once [...]
It's been more than two years in the making, or at least two years in the rumour mill, but at long last we've finally got confirmation, a release date, and a new track from the oft-talked about collaborative album between St. Vincent and Talking Heads mastermind David Byrne . The album is called Love This Giant and will be out on September 11th via 4AD and Todo Mundo, and above you can see the awesome, [...]
David Byrne x St. Vincent — Who Энни Кларк уничтожает последние зачатки своей инди-сексуально ти на обложке « Love This Giant » — совместного альбома с Дэвидом Бирном. Проект начался два с половиной года назад с выпуском « Every Drop of Rain » и закончился масштабным изданием из десяти совместных композиций и ещё двух песен, написанных раздельно. Добро пожаловать в большую лигу, Энни! Сдаётся мне, мы уже не в Канзасе.
El legendario David Byrne y la talentosa St. Vincent nos presentan "Who" el primer adelanto de Love This Giant , una producción en la que han estado trabajando por poco más de dos años. Enjoy. ♩ David Byrne & St. Vincent - Who
