Der Track von den Feelies ist vom 1980er Album Crazy Rhytms, das es vor Kurzem als Repress wieder auf Vinyl zu kaufen gab. Sicherlich nicht der beste Track der Gruppe, aber definitiv ein schönes schnelles Stück! The Feelies – Moscow Nights 7 / 10 feelies – crazy rhythms – 07 – moscow nights

Chancellorpink is one-man band Ray McLaughlin, who also handles production, marketing & putting the cat out at night! He’s been recording under the moniker for four years and self-released an album every year since. Sadly, having become disillusioned by the whole industry, he’s calling it a day, but not before putting out a couple of [...]

This San Francisco baroque-pop group’s second album is a homecoming of sorts, as it finds the Morning Benders embracing a more coastal, kaleidoscopic California sound. It also finds them embracing the cavernous experiments of Grizzly Bear, whose Chris Taylor shares a co-production credit. His studio presence is all over Big Echo. From warped music-hall strings to hymn-like, soft-focus [...]

Fang Island describe their aesthetic as “everyone high-fiving everyone,” and on their wildly infectious second album, the Brooklyn rockers take manic musicianship and shoutalong choruses to another level– even with only a couple of verses and choruses.

Noise-makers and pedal-lovers Ceremony from Fredericksburg, Virginia, are releasing a new album on Killer Pimp, hopefully in April. I was waiting for an email from Safranin Sound about this, but apparently the band got a new label now and so I totally missed the release of a single earlier this year. This is great news indeed, [...]

Forget the cartoon characters. Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s animated misfits have always been mainly interesting as a concept, and on much of the third Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach, it feels like Albarn and co. are ditching the idea of writing pop songs a cartoon band might front anyway. The one-time Blur frontman has transcended some [...]

For a band known for switching gears from track to track and album to album, Sisterworld is the most thoroughly Liars-sounding record so far. It has the rhythmic insistence of Drum’s Not Dead, the sleepwalking chants of They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, and the straightforward songwriting of Liars, often sounding like a streamlined update [...]

Ich habe mir überlegt, dass ich in nächster Zeit selber Bewertungen zu den geposteten Tracks bzw. Bands abgeben werde… Zudem ermöglicht ein neues Plugin, das ich mit diesem Artikel auch eigentlich nur kurz testen möchte, die Bewertung der Leser. Bin mal gespannt ob jemand mitmachen wird.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have risen to fame in the past year, and deservedly so. I’ve been watching them ever since they landed on my doorstep in snowy Iceland in 2008 and I helped arrange a one-off gig for a crowd of measly 30 or so people. I remember one reporter not bothering [...]
