Wolf Myer Orchestra & Parov Stelar - Femme Fatale (2007)

2008-06-08T10:19:00.000-07:00

Viajando pelos mundos do nu-jazz, do downtempo e óbviamente da electrónica (imagem de marca de Parov Stelar), 'Wolf Myer Orchestra' é um projecto da autoria do produtor "Wolf Myer" que decidiu juntar-se a "Parov Stelar" e mais cerca de 30 artistas das mais diferentes categorias, criando uma amálgama musical capaz de nos atrair ao mundo de 'Femme Fatale', que nos leva a uma viagem ás sensações e aos pensamentos mais intimos do nosso dia-a-dia, um título sem dúvida bem atribuído. Quem já conhece Parov Stelar já estará habituado a estas lides, mas para quem não conhece, a junção entre Wolf Myer e Parov Stelar tira o melhor lado de cada um deles, resultando num Femme Fatale que divaga entre a soul, funk, pop, jazz e electrónica. Recomendado mesmo para os mais cépticos.

The Rural Alberta Advantage - Hometowns (2008)

2008-05-01T16:34:00.000-07:00

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)

2008-05-01T15:48:00.000-07:00

"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!

Leandra - Metamorphine (2008)

2008-04-05T04:02:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the strange world of Ophelia Dax here known as Leandra from German lands. Leandra style lead us to a complex definition as the sound is covered with multiple influences. I experience “Metamorphine” as a minimalist, but enchanting ethereal souvenir reminding me to a softer level of last year's revelation Elsiane, flying through trip-hop, classic and also with a very good level of gothic powder. With an excellent capability beyond the piano, Leandra makes us close our eyes and imagine a different world, as a Tim Burton audio movie. The dark never felt so good...

Neon Neon - Stainless Style (2008)

2008-03-15T10:33:00.000-07:00

"Neon Neon" are Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals and Bryan Hollon known as Boom Bip , together bringing life to "Stainless Style", an album inspired in the '80s electropop, based on the rise and fall of automobile tycoon John DeLorean. Appealing to electropop, indie & hip-hop, Stainless Style slips effortlessly between a vast array of musical camps, with the honor of the intuitive capabilities of Rhys and Hollon, a team that constantly gives evidence of two minds working on very different ways but achieving yhe same goal. The strength of this album lies in the same playful interpretation of different genres. A post-modern wonder, as sleek as its subject matter.

Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (2008)

2008-03-08T00:31:00.000-08:00

Minneapolis based Cloud Cult returns for their sixth album, self-titled "Feel Good Ghosts" (Tea-partying Through Tornadoes). Despite the fact i'm a huge fan of them, it's not surprisingly that the new album is awesome, it promises to be as progressive as it is diverse, instrumentaly, originality, creativity...there's no one better to mix acoustic and electric guitar with soft and hard voices between sampling, drums, bass, violins and many other. Meet the great Cloud Cult band...Craig Minowa, Connie Minowa, Scott West, Sarah Young, Shawn Neary and Shannon Frid from Minneapolis.
Let them get out from north america cause the world is still virgin for them, let they explore and show themselfs to the world...the ghosts feel good and we do to...

Yoav, Israel to a Romanian father nationality, migrated to South Africa as a child, before trying his luck as a troubadour in London, New York and Canada. It was while in New York that he hit upon the style he's now peddling: melancholic acoustic ballads tempered by guitar based percussion, with the help of loops and effect peddles. It has a voice capable of all things: he sounds just as good singing in falsetto as in a gravelly, crooner-ish voice. But his appeal is far more than that, his instrumentation is powerfully compelling. Again, this is someone whose band consists of his guitar and a pedal and yet, some of his songs manage to have atmospheric, mysterious power.
"Charmed and Strange" is gorgeously enjoyable, with the guitar stretching out to nearly violin sadness at some times, and reaching up to vivid heights of happiness and others. The beats that Yoav drums out of his guitar are extremely confident, listening to the album feels like diving into a lush sonic jungle with spots of sunshine and sadness, with colors and shadows. At the end the effect is complex, rejuvenating, and strange comparative from almost anything else you've heard before. Charmed and Strange, was made by Yoav and guitar and it's perfect to begin the year of 2008. The effect is strange, to be sure, but also appropriately charming.

Robots In Disguise - We're in the Music Biz (2008)

2008-02-15T12:54:00.000-08:00

On first view, Robots in Disguise, Dee Plume and Sue Denim, are pictured on the sleeve of "We’re in the Music Biz" wearing the regulation tight shirts and skinny ties of new wave. Short, sharp and right to the point, this is Robots In Disguise way of living, back with their third album to create more electro punk mayhem. Smart, sharp insider's perspective on planet pop, welded to a jagged yet sugary sound which combines the best bits of Chicks on Speed, Bloc Party and Elastica And the bitchier they get, the more brilliant We're in the Music Biz becomes. So is We're In The Music Biz distinctive enough and entertaining for sure, just when you think it's all surface, shows surprising depth and a streetwise attitude. It's a joy!

Operator Please - Yes Yes Vindictive (2008)

2008-02-09T04:00:00.000-08:00

In an era where the future of rock supposedly consists of kids growing their fringes and documenting their angst, Operator Please are a big, coloured explosion on the horizon. Australian pop rock band Operator Please compose perfect pop nuggets and rolling, swirling, indie anthems, Operator Please have taken giddy excitement to new levels, youthful enthusiasm carries the day here and if most of the songs are genially direct without digging deep then the band's lack of guile makes the pleasure easy to embrace.
In one dose, "Yes Yes Vindictive" tries to remember the good times Yeah Yeah Yeahs brought to us with their frenetic rock. It's lived, funny and enjoyable to hear and dance by the sound of the new kind of youth rock. There's enough to keep them in the game of growing up successfully in public.

The Do - A Mouthful (2008)

2008-02-08T09:49:00.000-08:00

The Do have no afraid about wearing their musical influences on their sleeve. Take a first look to "A Mouthful" and you’ll get a taste of the flavour of Blonde and Cocorosie. But the overriding influence that runs through out The Do’s debut album is Iceland’s alternative pop princess Bjork. They share Bjork’s off-the-wall originality and have taken a leaf out of the Icelandic diva’s music book, smashing down barriers between genres to forge their own unique sound. Dan Levy, The Do’s talented multi-instrumentalist, and singer Olivia B Merilahtin originally hooked up two years ago to work together on the soundtrack to a feature film. Their creative partnership blossomed from there and the duo went on to write the soundtracks for two other movies, François Rotger’s The Passenger and Christophe Ali’s Camping sauvage. They have also created stage music for a number of contemporary dance troupes.
“A Mouthful” is a delightful genre fusion album that is full of so many different twists, turns and crunches you'll never know what you are going to get here in this set. Just music that has the need to be heared and learned...how all music should be.

Working For A Nuclear Free City - Business & Ghosts (2007)

2008-01-22T12:24:00.000-08:00

The beauty of "Working For A Nuclear Free City", their last album, with its ability to visit a myriad of sounds while still remaining cohesive and controlled "Business & Ghosts" comes now as a refreshing split into the “official” album "Businessmen", and a collection of B-sides, outtakes, and various other tracks that didn’t quite make the cut over the years in "Ghosts".
"Businessmen" is an album of diversity. "Ghosts", on the other hand, is purely electronic and ambient. Here dwell tracks that are perhaps more unfocused than those in "Businessmen", but if you’ve enjoyed the ride so far you won’t be exiting just yet. The band's best bass-driven dancefloor bangers and stately, textured landscapes are all here.
If you’ve liked Radiohead’s electronic sides, Explosions in the Sky’s more ambient work, or any sort of genre-bending such as electronic, instrumental, zouk, shoegaze, post-rock and alternative, get this album. Working For A Nuclear Free City is prepping for their storm, and it will be severe. So breath the air, and enjoy what’s coming. Too good to be lost...

2008-01-11T04:13:00.000-08:00

In comparison to the project focused on muted indie pop called Electric President where this project continually reminds you of digital nature of the production, with its glitchy beats and cut-up instruments, Radical Face is where Ben Cooper (member of duo Electric President and Radical Face) indulges his more trad songwriting ambitions. So"Ghost" becomes a songwirter album, or rather, a song-writing album, with tracks carefully arranged interiors, chamber folk, pockep symphonies and passionate melodies. He Let the instruments tale a deep breath and created a breathing record, a lively, warm Ghost.

Elsiane are Elsieanne Caplette & Stephane Sotto rums). Their music is electronica, trip hop that recalls the best times of Broadcast, Bjork, Portishead plus styles of world beats, ambience, jazz and even some classical and world music thrown in for good measure, in the album "Hybrid" that saw the light in this 2007. But it's Elsieanne's voice that rings pure, loud and clear that will dazzle you. In reality, they really defy categorization...this is just one album that demands to be heard for any lover of good, good music.

Apparat - Walls (2007)

2007-11-11T00:36:00.000-08:00

For his latest full-length album, Berlin's Sascha Ring has come closer than ever to integrating traditional songwrting into modern electronic sound design. "Walls" is an album that pulls together vocals, strings and dense layers of laptop composition, propped upright by a glistening array of cutting edge beats. After the introductory digital atmospherics of 'Not A Number', the first real indication of this album's direction arrives in the form of 'Hailin' From The Edge', an unexpected move into soulful hip hop electronics. Next up, 'Useful Information' and 'Limelight' show a return to more established Apparat territory. These productions point to the kind of widescreen electronica with which Ring made his name, a reminder that whatever new genres he might experiment with, there's always a strength of technique at his disposal. Recent single 'Holdon' is one of four tracks here to feature the vocals of Raz Ohara, whose presence clearly displaces Ring from his familiar Apparat comfort zone. This track in particular marks a new, more streamlined approach to beat programming, which comes across as comparatively organic in this instance. As the album develops the scale seems to swell : there's an post-rock/hip hop crossover in 'Arcadia', and later on comes 'Headup', which sounds like a shift into miniature stadium rock, complete with swathes of laptop textures only serving to accentuate the epic proportions of this ambitious album. Apparat transcends the downbeat limitations of the incipient form with astonishing grace.

2007-10-30T11:40:00.000-07:00

For all that's inspiring true and diverse in the music industry and all its waves, "Cloud Cult" has been creating for nearly a decade.

Melting the genres of all mankind's music with intelligible creation and songwriting, Cloud Cult has a knack for catchy rhythms of diverse instrumentation. Whether its something perfected, or they we're born into is not for me to say.

Songs like Pretty Voice subtlely build tempo between lyrical and instrumental harmony. Then of course there's the following track Brain Gateway that gorge a different brand of Cloud Cult, brash and aggressive, bellowing and bold, like the sweet little boy who shows up to a party shy, but by the end of the gathering winks at you with a confidence in such a different style.

Goodbooks, an Indie-Rock-Elektro band that appears in the british indie hype. Started with the edition of several singles since 2005 and the nowadays, when they appear with the debut album "Control". This one was produced by Dan Grech-Marguerat, and recorded at RAK studios in London. The album includes pre-recordings of some of their past singles such as the single "Walk With Me", also the "Turn It Back" as well as the previous EP entitled "Leni" and at last the one called "The Illness". They are now called as the "Best New Band In Britain" but will they live the days of greatness as in their first appearence like Bloc Party? Goodbooks will have to build their way throught the indie scene while bands like Bloc Party gained the reputation in the debut album.

Maps - We Can Create (2007)

2007-10-10T11:20:00.001-07:00

A hugely ambitious, widescreen and epic record that recalls everything from the far away electronics of Basic Channel and Carl Craig, through the skewed songwriting of Postal Service, Flaming Lips and Grandaddy to the euphoric sound-scapes of Sigur Ros and Death In Vegas, "We Can Create" is a work of heart stopping extremes.
The other-worldly atmospherics of "Maps" are even more amazing for the fact that James Chapman recorded the whole album without computers, preferring the painstaking process of splicing sounds together on his battered album recorder in his Northamptonshire bedroom.
A trip between what's best of Indie-Rock, one of the best albuns this year in this music style, remembering "Electric President" in their debut album.
