The Rural Alberta Advantage - Hometowns (2008)

I am in process of digesting their full-length "Hometowns", and shall i say "Indie-Rock ROCKS". "The Rural Alberta Advantage" hit us with the trio's Neutral Milk Hotel pop and detailed narratives of his Alberta roots. While it seems almost necessary to toss in a Sufjan reference when you talk about the subject matter. Instead of calculated, over thought, lush compositions, The Rural Alberta Advantage prefers energetic, spontaneous, spare arrangements with just enough shocks and surprises to keep you guessing....whats next to continue?! Between the amusing sound acoustic guitars can make, unstoppable energy flowing and the fun their music bring to us, i dare to stay, Hometows is one of the best indie-rock albums for 2008.

Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles (2008)

"Crystal Castles", the name comes, just imagine, from 1984 Atari adventure game called Crystal Castle, and this is how indie music website Pitchfork described the music style "pitch-shifted vocal snippets [that] ricochet like pinballs around Crystal Castles' patented 8-bit synths", what else can i say...a new point of view through electronic music.They have two faces, the first one is that their tracks were made from Crystal Castles everyone has heard about, they describe their style as "thrash/thrash/thrash" and routinely cause riots at their live performances. The other Crystal Castles face on display here are better suited for post-rave chillout listening, no resemblance to their psyche-smashing alter-ego. 16 tracks, it's just too much in the album, this one could have easily been cut down into something truly mind-blowing. Either way, the result is like playing Mario inside a disco....extremely enjoyable!
