SoKo - I Thought I Was An Alien (2012) [128 kbps]
“When people ask me what kind of music I do,” says Soko, “I usually tell them - Punk secrets”. Intimate, lo-fi, crazy, sexy, funny, tear-stained, heartbreaking, often all at once. s-o-k-o.com
"The record trades in themes are of love and loss, loneliness and learning, and the vividly detailed lines pair well with SoKo’s gift for conveying emotion via tight phrasing and restraint. She intones a husky rasp through an endearingly crinkled accent — like if Chan Marshall took diction lessons from Björk — with tasteful instrumentation that builds from the guitars up; sometimes up to a rock crescendo, others to a delicately twinkling reverie. It’s the sort of record that has the potential to reach lots of people while also resonating with more guarded, folded-armed listeners" stereogum.com

| Dark Castle - Spirited Migration (37:07|64mb) |
[Sep. 30th, 2009|03:34 am] |
Florida’s sludge two-piece Dark Castle first appeared in 2008 with an elaborately packaged self-released demo (Flight of the Pegasus) that garned a good deal of favorable attention from the metal press and other bands (including Relapse Records’ Minsk). It is easy to see why this unsigned band turned so many heads, as there are several obvious elements that separate them from their peers. In an extreme rarity in metal genres, most of the guitar and vocal work is handled by a woman, Stevie Floyd. Also, the band has the distinction of having no bass player (nor bass in any of their recordings), which is strikingly ballsy in a genre that is so intimately associated with low-frequency amplifier worship.

UUVVWWZ (read double U double V double W Z) is a four person band from Lincoln, NE.
"People compared us to musicians and bands we had to look up (Dog Faced Hermans, Lydia Lunch, The Pop Group) and some that were familiar (Deerhoof, Captain Beefheart, Bow Wow Wow), they dubbed us Avant-Rock and Blues. One man unintentionally called us Power-Jazz after we interrupted his silent contemplation outside of a coffee shop."

Tāds kā dream pop indie. Dzied meitene japāņu un angļu valodās. Skaista balss un labas melodijas.
Sāciet ar dziesmu Walk On The Moon, piemēram :). |

[Sep. 20th, 2007|01:31 pm] |
Etheral-gothic rokgrupas Miranda Sex Garden trakules, kuras savulaik patrieca no mūzikas skolas par sliktu uzvedību, mazliet nomierinājušās uz robežas ar apgarotību savā vēlākajā projektā. Iespējams vislabāk baudāms, iebāžot šņukuru sakritušājās rudens lapās un labsajūtā cieši aizmiedzot acis.

PJ Harvey - White Chalk
Britu alternatīvā roka dziedātājas jaunais albums. Darbu pie tā viņa sāka 2006. g. novembrī. Visnotaļ netipisks darinājums priekš Hārvejas, bet dziesmas vienalga brīnišķīgas.
Neliels raksturojums: "For this album Harvey has moved away from alternative rock and recorded a set of songs for piano, despite her lack of expertise on the instrument. The album marks a radical departure from her usual style, consisting mainly of piano ballads. In an interview in The Wire she explained: "The great thing about learning a new instrument from scratch is that it liberates your imagination." As well as this, she sings in a higher register than usual, at a pitch outside her normal range. Lyrically, however, Harvey has stuck to the dark, moody themes typical of much of her music."
Nu tātad skumjas klavieru balādes, dārgie komrādi. |
