Code: like this a lot more than I thought I would. It didn't quite capture me the same way that Metric's Fantasies did (ferociously and obsessively), but the more I listen to it the more it grows on me. This is helped by the fact that the first two songs are experimental glitch/disco-esque tunes instead of the usual immediate indie pop catchiness that I associate with Tegan and Sara. But then 'Hell,' 'The Cure,' 'Northshore,' and 'The Ocean' grace my speakers and I swoon. Slowly but surely I listen to this more and more.
Highly, highly recommended.EDIT:Here's final track 'Someday,' which has apparently glitched out. Quote Rules:No hot-linking images or albums.

I shoudn't have posted the album art, because when you're listening to him there's no way you'd expect him to be a young white dude as opposed to an awesome black soul singer from the 60's/70's. Really awesome soul with a little bit of funk, tongue planted firmly in cheek, but not so much that it stops being awesome.
Really, if you can listen to 'Just Ain't Gonna Work Out', and 'Your Easy Lovin' and not think this is awesome music you're doing something wrong. Get psyched on this record dudes.This is an interesting record, he reminds me of that Remy Shand bloke from a few years back. Guy made one reasonably solid blue-eyed soul record and promptly vanished into the outer realms of obscurity. I think the problem with both records is that they're a bit on the nose, though they're original compositions, the tracks sound more like tribute records to their idols. Still, even if they rely exclusively on their influences for inspiration, the music is undeniably catchy as hell.
Quote After a widely acclaimed 2008 EP 'Cabin Ghosts,' relentless touring, and months spent in the studio, Cory Chisel is putting the finishing touches 'Death Won't Send A Letter,' his debut full-length for Black Seal Records, coming out September 29.The album's first single, the haunting, defiant renegade's tale 'Born Again,' was co-written with Brendan Benson, and features backing from bassist 'Little Jack' Lawrence (Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), and drummer Patrick Keeler (The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes). A behind the scenes look at the recording sessions for 'Born Again' can be viewed now on Cory's website.' Death Won't Send A Letter' was recorded primarily at Blackbird studios in Nashville, with Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, The White Stripes) at the helm. In addition to the aforementioned musicians others who contributed to the album include My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel, and Cory's longtime backing vocalist/keyboard player Adriel Harris.The son of a Baptist minister, Cory Chisel hails from Appleton, WI, where his hometown shows have drawn crowds of over 2500 fans.
Since releasing 'Cabin Ghosts' last year, Cory has toured with Rachel Yamagata, Meiko, The Low Anthem and others. Quote those of you that have heard of friska viljor before probably know the story of how daniel johansson and joakim sveningsson started the band after both their relationships had gone down the drain. Those of you that haven't heard of the band still know this particular kind of story far too good.
Heartache has always been one of the prime catalysts for artistic work, and every artist sees their own suffering as something unique, and their thoughts and work about it as something the whole world should share, says daniel.after four years using music as a cheap therapist both daniel and joakim have now come to the point in their lives when it's time for a fresh start. This clearly shows on the band's third album ”for new beginnings”. The lyrics no longer consists solely of broken hearts. Instead there's stories of happiness, sorrow and hope.
You'll get some soul searching in if i die now, a bit of nostalgia in the childhood portray manwhore, and some apathy in hibiskus park. There's also some changes in the music. You still get the drastic leaps between genres and the bands typical instrumentation with everything from mandolin, ukelele and glockenspiel to accordion, clarinet and saw.
But you can clearly sense a new direction, away from euphoric choruses towards depth and seriousness. Myspace Blurb.

Quote Georgia-based psychedelic rock band (calling them a metal act seems very reductive, though there's some seriously headbangable material on this disc) Baroness has made a subtle but unmistakable evolutionary leap on this, their second full-length and a clear companion piece to 2007's Red Album. It's hard to say exactly what new guitarist Pete Adams has brought to the band after replacing drummer Allen Blickle's brother Brian, but the band's established blend of Southern sludge riffs, druggy instrumental journeys, and melodic interstitial interludes, all propelled by a particularly thudding drum sound and held together by John Baizley's hoarse but clean vocals and gorgeous cover art, are even stronger now than before. The transition from the almost Moody Blues-like 'Steel That Sleeps the Eye' into the crunching hard rock epic 'Swollen and Halo' is just one example of Baroness' seamless melding of moods through technique and compositional acumen.
There are numerous interludes on the disc - basically, any track shorter than four minutes is an exploration of a riff followed by a dissolve into sound effects or keyboard swooshes, slowly dissolving into the next actual song. 'Ogeechee Hymnal,' for example, offers one of the album's heaviest riffs, but it's a mere appetizer before 'A Horse Called Golgotha,' a suitably galloping prog-metal epic that effectively conquers Mastodon's territory, and includes some astonishing guitar leads.
This is a ferocious album that's not afraid to be genuinely beautiful. One of the best hard rock releases of 2009.
Quote I Have A Special Plan For This World' is a longform single by the English band Current 93. The lyrics are taken from a poem of the same name by the author Thomas Ligotti and spoken by David Tibet.Musically, I Have A Special Plan For This World was a temporary return of sorts by Current 93 to their experimental post-industrial roots, using various unconventional musical instruments and techniques (synthesised drones, found sound, a circuit-bent Speak & Spell) while dispensing almost entirely with the minimal acoustic guitar and piano melodies that characterised the group's sound at that point. There was, however, some continuity musically, as the single expanded upon both the nihilistic themes and experimental musical motives which appeared in the Inmost Light trilogy of albums which appeared five years prior. Quote from: allaboutjazz.com What's always been remarkable about this band is its ability to be texturally rich yet atmospheric and spacious at the same time.
One might think that having three guitarists would create a potential for excessive harmonic density and the occasional train wreck, but everyone's listening skills are so advanced that things never get cluttered, despite the number of players.Garden of Eden also proves the malleability of Motian's writing. Motian's tunes range from the maelstrom-like temporal elasticity of 'Mumbo Jumbo' to the dark and ethereal 'Etude' and the lyrically folksy 'Mesmer,' where Motian's light but busy playing seems at odds with the more languid phrasing of the horns and guitars. They could easily be imagined played by his trio with Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano.
There's inherently more activity here, but it shows just how far Motian has evolved as a writer with a distinctive voice that transcends context.Motian may turn 75 this year, but on the strength of Garden of Eden it's clear that he's in the midst of a musical renaissance; advancing age needn't be synonymous with a dilution of the creative juices. Quote from: Tierney Sutton, is a jazz vocalist quite unlike any performing today; she has a genuine and unique approach to jazz resulting in a sound that is hers and hers alone. Tierney would say that the sound is not hers alone, she is a member of the band, and the sound is theirs alone. I believe both she and I would be right.The Tierney Sutton Band is a philosophical anomaly in the music world.
The band has no diva, no boss, no black sheep. What they have is a team that allows them to take big chances and pull off the extraordinary in creating music. It's a matter of trust, shared values, and listening very carefully to each other. Sutton's music is literary in being not just beautiful noise; it is also specific mind frames that can't be expressed otherwise.
On the album insert that accompanies Telarc's recording of On the Other Side Tierney writes, 'In the United States, our founding fathers guaranteed us among other things, 'the pursuit of happiness.' I always found it amusing that we aren't guaranteed the thing itself, but rather the right to chase after it. Mystics tell us it is the chase that causes our problems Sometimes it seems to me what the Declaration of Independence really guarantees is a broken heart, but that's not the whole story Music is about the search.' - Tierney Sutton (from the Telarc Jazz Record On the Other Side)The Band, consisting of Tierney, Christian Jacob on piano, Kevin Axt and Trey Henry, and Ray Brinker on drums, has been together for close to fifteen years. In the last two years, they have released two remarkable albums with Telarc: I'm With The Band and On The Other Side.
Both of these compilations show how seamlessly these very talented musicians work together and demonstrate Tierney's mastery of vocal music. I'm With The Band was Tierney's first live album and On the Other Side is her most daring concept record to date. On the Other Side is now ten months old. Quote from: If they ever make a biopic about Madeliene Peyroux there'll be no shortage of key moments to for them to illustrate; busking around Europe as a teenager; 2004's Careless Love selling over a million; record company-hired private detectives trying to track her down after she goes AWOL.It'll all make great Hollywood for sure. Quote from: DiS Efterklang inhabit another world, a world which, if the earth contained no human life, Parades would be fit to soundtrack. Their sound is not post-apocalyptic; it’s more symbolic of what came before than what will come after.
It's the sound of Mother Nature winding gradually along, where all is well in a land before civilisation, a time of passing serenity versus the bold and beautiful creation of life. All of the above was abundant in their magnum opus that is 2007’s Parades, a record which gained full marks on these very pages.Performing Parades is not only the logical extension and conclusion of the original; it’s a step up from it. That original may not especially need bringing to life, already bristling and bustling with an array of organic creeping and crawling, but it has been brought to life, well and truly, with a more than fair-sized helping hand from The Danish National Chamber Orchestra.There is a certain density that accompanies Efterklang. They are not a band who are more than a mouthful, or an acquired taste, but if you aren’t truly dialled-in to the extravagant orchestration and subtle changes in tone and texture, then proceedings can seem even impenetrable. This is nothing more than a minor flaw, and as was written by a far wiser man of an issue far more lofty than Danish symphonic musical experimentation: “the harder the struggle the more glorious the triumph” – and those are words which resonate for Efterklang. The pay-off comes from repeat listens when, importantly, context and understanding is gained – among the peripheral percussion, glitches, group chanting, and belting brass, each part, large or small, fits and blends to form what is a magnificent tapestry.Those parts, though, are separate in name if not in concept and execution. The high point is steady, from the initial, twitching, tense, discordant strings of ‘Polygene’ through the heart of the album and out the other end.
It is bottomless in its brilliance. So enchanting are vast swathes of this record – the spectral slowing 87 seconds of ‘Mimeo’ followed by the progression from carefree to burdened with a sack of sadness that is ‘Frida Found A Friend’ – it’s easy to forget the variety of the 11 tracks. ‘Caravan’ is the one which acts most like a traditional rock track, with its chiming guitar and dirty bassline but even this proves to be an imposter to convention and tradition, being outlasted by more choral exchanges and Nordic mastery of mystery.The band’s approach to Parades and the process of Performing Parades cannot and should not be understated. Naturally, the DVD footage of the performance is a pretty neat addition, and one which certainly ties together the whole release and is arguably as much its reason for being as the audio. This is best appreciated and understood when seeing the Danish National Chamber Orchestra in fairy-tale garb.
That said, so easy is it to get lost in the variation and stories in sound that the music alone will, ironically, always have just a little extra. The live show is not exactly bulging with rock‘n’roll hyperactivity, and the orchestral additions obviously move us further towards the grand, as is intention. Hearing the rapturous reception from the on looking Danes, you’re reminded that the film footage is only going to be an infinitesimal percentage of genuinely feeling the nuances and intricacies through the stomach, the neck hairs, and the spine, rather than just the ears.It doesn’t really need to be said again, and although a 10/10 review for Parades the first time round may have seemed a little hyperbolic, it wasn't. It’s a record which is an unending masterpiece and, if at all possible, Performing Parades adds to it - not standalone, but complementing. Quote from: ALLMUSIC The Burning Hearts are Le Futur Pompiste's Jessika Rapo and Cats on Fire's Henry Ojala, and in a way the project can be seen as a mash-up of both bands. Like Le Futur Pompiste, the Burning Hearts sound a bit frosty and austere thanks to Rapo's ethereal, detached vocals and some new wave-y synth swooshes. And like Cats on Fire, the Burning Hearts' tunes are graced with a heavy dose of C-86-style jangliness and reverb.
The whole thing comes off sounding a lot like the Radio Dept. And the Bridal Shop; but what sets the Burning Hearts apart is Rapo and Oljala's creative chemistry - they've come up with a really solid album of synthy, jangly songs that, while they do sound familiar, have a wintry sheen that's all their own.

'Sea Birds' offers a great example of everything the Burning Hearts are doing well on Aboa Sleeping: what with its knotty, dramatic basslines, irresistible hookiness, and shimmering vocals, it has the dense, humid feel of a fever dream. 'I Walked Among the Trees' is another stand-out track - opening with a tangle of spacy synth effects worthy of Gary Numan, the song develops into an icy-sweet mix of jangliness and synth pop that sounds something like a cross between a-ha and Altered Images. Aboa Sleeping is a subtle, moody little disc, and it's promising to boot.
You won't meet a nicer, more down-to-earth artist than Blues musician, Seasick Steve. I first saw him on Jools Holland's Annual Hootenanny in 2007. I loved his myriad of customised guitars including “The Three-string Trance Wonder”, “The Morris Minor” and my personal favourite - “The One-Stringed Diddley Bow”.I saw him before his performance at Latitude 2008 walking around, big smile, soaking up the atmosphere - you could tell he was a genuine, humble character. On stage he told us some stories from his past, travelling on the freight trains around the US getting work where he could. He admits he’s spent time as a hobo, a tramp and a bum. I only know him as a fantastic musician.During his Latitude set he played “Cut My Wings”, “Dog House Boogie” and even pulled a girl out of the audience to sing a love song to her on stage.
His whole performance went down a storm, with thousands of fans stomping the ground to his Blues. For a few songs he brought his son on stage to play with him which was a lovely touch.All in all, whether you're a Blues fan or not, Seasick Steve is one of the artists I recommend you see live before you pop your clogs.
He won't disappoint. Seasick Steve, what a guy.

The Californian musician began recording solo material rather late in his career considering the man is now in his mid-70s. The UK in particular really warmed towards his honest songwriting style, jovial lyrics and dry wit.
His albums have been continuously rising up the charts and every time he tours here he claims to feel more and more at home.The audience is equally warm to the performer due to his wonderfully humble demeanour. He chats to the crowds right off the cuff about life, travels, his music and the city he is currently playing in.
Seasick Steve Fraud
This demo-like style is a real winner as the whole performance has a splendid laid back mentality, allowing Steve to then surprise with rambunctious instrumentals during 'Keep on Keepin' On' aided by his slick drummer. The audience's applauses are thunderous for the man's musical ability and he capitalises on the energy by wrapping up with fan favourite 'Thunderbird'. There is no doubt that should he still be able to, Seasick Steve will be recording and touring for the foreseeable future. Be prepared for a laugh out loud party with this dude! He sure is a whole heap of fun to watch, dance to and sing along to.What an amazing talent, I reckon if you left a broom on stage, Steve could get a tune from it!And it's not just about Steve and his crazy legs dancing, Dan on drums is Muppet's Animal reincarnated and young Luther can rock a paint pot (you'll see!) better than anyone!Oh yeah, musically, an excellent blend of stuff from the new LP and a fair amount of the classics.This is one recommended gig, 5-star!
