Fiery Furnaces - Widow City

Friday, July 13, 2007

Rating:9/10

Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger will unleash their Windy City-related sixth Fiery Furnaces album, Widow City, on the world on October 9 via their new home, Thrill Jockey (located in Chicago). It was recorded near Lake Michigan last winter, and mixed by Tortoise svengali John McEntire at Chicago Soma Studios. Matthew plays every intrument on Widow City, only the drums were played by Robert D'Amico. This is completely another Fiery Furnaces record, which
sounds like what they are. Playful and unpredictable music! Don't be surprised because of the song below. The whole album includes many different sounds, loops and witty music. They're not all complicated like this song. However, i liked energic, fool expressions on this song.

Al Green - Call Me

Thursday, July 12, 2007

An absolute best al green record. I don’t know much about soul or r&b. Believe me if subject is listening to music, you don't have to be well-educated to say what sounds good or not. For God's sake, you've ears! Green's vocals are one of a kind on this marvellous production that released on July1973. Horns, fusions of country and soul, "You Ought to Be With Me," "Here I Am (Come and Take Me), and amazing opening track "Call Me," are reasons to die in front of this record. A classic.

Boris & Merzbow - Walrus & Groon (EP)

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

Walrus/Groon is a collaborative 12" EP between Merzbow (Japanese noise musician Masami Akita) and Japanese experimental doom band Boris. And The A side is a cover of "I Am the Walrus" by The Beatles, yeah baby it's the real and noisy Lennon and McCartney devotion. I always like these kind of original ideas, like covering a rock classic with great and stylish noise rock. Not only noise rock you'll hear, there are also electronics, guitar fuzz, heavy drums... Exceptional great rock music, is that too much for you?

Singles
1. The Electric Soft Parade - Misunderstanding
The song has a comfy playing, hooks are almost exploding at the end of it. Alex White moves one step forward with enormous emotional range of his vocals. Endings are important and they're more memorable than the startings, this song proves this.

2. The New Pornographers - Myriad Harbour
You sometimes want to listen conservative guitar pop songs. New Pornographers offer this, if you want a taste of simple beauty.

3. Brett Anderson – Back To You (EP)
Brett Anderson ain't a crap record, it was nice to hear Brett's trembling voice once again. But, the artists should give their best to make a record, especially if it's a new record. Because they spend the most important thing, time! So do we. I know Brett could do better than this.

4. Bright Eyes – If The Brakeman Turns My Way
5. The National - Lucky You
6. Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent
7. Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do
8. Prince – Guitar
9. Travis – Selfish Jean
10. Kings Of Leon – Fans

John Vanderslice - Emerald City

Sunday, July 08, 2007

Rating: 9.4/10
A fan of Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Kinks, and Southern rock when he was a child, taking the power of his songwriting from David Bowie, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, King Crimson, XTC, and early Genesis, John Vanderslice has released five studio records by now. New record Emerald City (out July 24) is a lovely album while resting on seaside (believe me i tried this). Moreover it's a great choice for a sunny, beautiful Sunday. He is developing well-educated pop sound, and i recommend his Cellar Door record. If Cellar Door (2004) is ok for you, then you should listen to the other records of him. Musically, the songs from Emerald City are clean, nice and easy to get. They are fueled by an era of deep insecurity and paranoia; they develop in front of a backdrop of ritualized and mythologized current events. Lyrically, John Vanderslice's characters and storytellers track Manifest Destiny from burning wagon wheels to two-bedroom homes with full amenities in Bakersfield, California. And one of the standout songs is Time To Go! Very Nice.
