One of the most controversial
figures in popular music since he
first took the pop world by storm
in 1993, Snoop Dogg has regularly
made headlines around the world
with his antics both on and off
stage. The embodiment of 90's
gangsta rap, over the years Snoop
has been frequently accused of
using excessively sexist and
violent language in the lyrics to
his songs, vivid evocations of life
in L.A.'s mean streets

True to form, following his
spectacular performance at
Jamaica's famous Reggae Sumfest
Festival (billed as being 'The
Greatest Reggae Show On Earth') in
August 2001, Snoop was charged with
using indecent language by the
island's police force. This DVD is
a record of that concert at which
Snoop featured all his best-known
numbers, including 'Bitch Please'
'What's My Name?', 'Gin And Juice'
and 'Ain't No Fun'

At 41, married, with two kids, Willy Porter is firmly entrenched in middle-age dad-dom and looking to cut back on the road work.

But that's more of a change of direction than a step back. Porter has a new album, his seventh, called "How to Rob a Bank" and is looking to spend more time in his studio. He also has his own independent label, Weasel Records, and recently added a second artist, folkie Natalia Zukerman.

Given Weasel's small size, Porter says he's looking at the label as a co-op for talented people who are motivated enough to handle a lot of the nuts and bolts of a recording career themselves.

"How to Rob a Bank" is an interesting departure for the veteran singer-songwriter. The title track is a topical tune cobbled from recent headlines. The immediate inspiration is a GM employee who lost his job and tried to rob a bank but was so polite about it that he waited in line for a teller.

"Bank" is Porter at the top of his game, working off his creative debt to Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.

The album also makes some off-center musical choices. Label mate Zukerman lends her support with Dobro and lap steel, but so does the eclectic women's folk rock quartet Raining Jane, which includes sitar and cajon.

"I don't want to make the same record twice, so I thought they added some needed estrogen," Porter says of Raining Jane.

Other notable tracks include "Lemon Tree," which taps into some Beach Boys-style falsetto, and "I Didn't Bring It Up," co-written with Paul Cebar. With more than a decade of married life to draw on, Porter tackled the conversational navigation skills that evolve during a lengthy relationship.

Nearly 20 years into his recording career, Porter has done the major label thing and the independent label thing. He's toured with and gained musical admirers as diverse as Tori Amos, Ian Anderson and James McMurtry. He likes to think he has gained some experience but kept the beginner's open mind.

"I still chase my tail like everybody else," he says, "but I hope I'm writing with a perspective that's gotten wider."

Indiana native Austin Lucas is the latest in a long line of punks-gone-country (Greg Graffin, Tim Barry, Chuck Ragan, Ben Nichols, etc...), in what is an ever-increasing trend. But where his peers tend to lean more towards the folk-end of the country spectrum, Lucas adopts the high and lonesome falsetto of old-time hillbilly and bluegrass, setting him apart, and arguably above, his punk brethren.

But whereas his punk peers turn to country and folk because their ears are beginning to bleed, Lucas' destiny was always going to be a combination of the genres, helped along by his musical pedigree.

Raised in a musical household, Lucas' father Bob was busy working with Alison Krauss, whilst Austin was performing in the Indiana University Choir. Lucas fell into the punk crowd and wound up playing bass for grind band Twenty Third Chapter, providing vocals for crust band Rune, and taking on the role of vocalist/guitarist for the Czech prog-punk outfit, The K10 Prospect.

All this background information helps put Lucas' third solo full-length into context.

The first line on the lead and title track is Lucas' battlecry; "Easy there old man or I'll drop you where you stand...". It's an opening line that stamps the singers' intentions; if you were settling in for another middle-of-the-road alt.country experience, best re-adjust that expectation as Lucas will tell you the way it is, whether you want to hear it or not.

'Somebody Loves You' is scathing in it's criticism of a religious leader who he himself admired as a young man. But Lucas' willingness to then turn the camera on himself as he says that those who love him are fools for believing his lies.

'Go West' is more typical in theme, if not structure. Granted, lost love has explored in country music time and time again, but rarely has it felt so genuine. "Go west Emily, grab your boots and find yourself somewhere / I'll find another lover in the east"

'Shoulders' uses a combination of religious and familial imagery in it's description of another country staple; sin and redemption.

Joined by his father, sister Chloe Manor, Todd Beene (Lucero) and Chris Westhoff (Our Lady of Bells/Bone Orchard Revival), Lucas' music is as ethereal as it is grounded in tradition. The melodies here can be complex, but the harmonies are as sweet as those found in the Appalachian mountains. Lucas' dextrous finger-pickin' defies his punk heritage, as does his sentimentality. It's this constant struggle of opposites (simple/complicated, gentle/hardened, critical/introspective, God/The devil) that makes 'Somebody Loves You' such an important album. Not to mention the much needed kick in alt.country's arse.

French indie electronic duo The Penelope(s) have created a distinctly pop
sensibility that draws on indie rock from the early '90s with elements of
synth-pop and early House. The results, though, will appeal to home listeners
as well as the club kids. Priceless Concrete Echoes is their first domestic
release. A mix of shoegazing, New York disco, punk and funk - the album is
produced by Black Strobe's Arnaud Rebotini. Soaring through nostalgic hints
of The Cars or New Order (Licked by Love) or Ride (The Heat Goes On), the
album is dominated by the instincts of the European rave scene. The bass is
slapped, the hi-hats are mixed up front, and The Penelope(s) are not afraid
to shine a light on the disco ball. They also aren't afraid to cover the
Beastie Boys - all with joyful abandon.

| intro and outro to "Coming Undone," and gives some rein to guitarist Joe |

Between hip hop as nicely bricolo as learnedly abstract, pop bizarroïdement shifted and terrestrial extra folk music, the first album of Pastry Case is a very beautiful surprise carried out with three pieces of string, at the house… Wheelchair And Jogging Suit is a new bright proof that the relative n' lack of means; handicap that those which n' do not have d' ideas, which n' listen to any disc or which wants to sound like formatted artists hyper (and thus uninteresting with possible). At years light of the commercial world, Pastry Case creates environments LO Fi with instruments which seem ancient and of limp at rates/rhythms at the end of the lifetime, but l' inspired use which is made by it gives a fresh, strange, barred and captivating result. The distorted voices, the air choruses, the organ envoûtants and the happy battered ones form a sound maelstrom with the virtues oneiric and renovating, which evokes the original productions of the Anticon label. But not that… As on scene, one also thinks of a kind of brass band pop hip/folk fallen from the sky and mislaid at the bottom of wood in a clearing, with a tiny sound system, a microphone d' another age, some percussions and other instruments recycled. Between tough melancholy, motionless sound voyage and insupportable lightness of the atmospheres, the pieces of Pastry Case allure durably and mark l' listener. Thanks to their atours at the same time kitsch and modern, with the multiples bidouillages on the sound and the melodies nicely contagious.

In 2009 Frankmusik is that rarest of pop prospects; one that has manufactured his own image and music. Complete Me is an auteur’s album, a break-up record written about one girl. While his contemporaries use one producer for one track, one writer for another and end up with a hotch-potch of borrowed sentiments and a patchwork of production sounds, Vincent Frank wrote and produced these tracks in his bedroom in Croydon. The album is an electronic love letter, the soundtrack to an eternal summer of adolescent heartache, equal parts light and dark. With a dozen remixes to his name for everyone from avant-garde Brooklyn act Telepathe to The Pet Shop Boys; Frank has also produced two tracks on the forthcoming album by No 1 grime pop star Tinchy Stryder, as well as his debut single "Better Off As Two" reaching the upper reaches of the charts.

Complete Me marks the long-awaited long-playing debut from Frankmusik, aka Vincent Frank--a former BMX rider and student at the London School Of Fashion who packed in both to become a do-it-yourself pop star. Accordingly, this is a pop music several steps away from the current stage school/talent show consensus--still invested with big choruses and billowing synthesisers, but delivered with an oddball charisma and quirky intelligence. Described by Frank as "a break-up record written about one girl", Complete Me channels desire, loneliness and melancholy through a kaleidoscope of styles, from pristine pop--see early breakout track "Confusion Girl", here polished into a grand, strings-laden production redolent of Mika or the Pet Shop Boys--to glitched-up synth-pop ("Done Done", "3 Little Words") and mischievous mash-up ("When You’re Around", which pilfers the harpsichord line from The Stranglers’ "Golden Brown" and chops it up into stuttering new melodies). The climax, or at least a sense of closure, comes with "Vacant Heart"--an epic heartbreak number that blows up the emotions of a collapsing relationship into epic widescreen.

When nostalgia meets passion and classical music meets rock, here comes the Dark romantism...

Coming from Mons, Alucard is a quintet founded by the artist Dorian and developing a visual and musical concept called Dark romantism.

Their first album is produced by world-class producer John Fryer (Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, HIM, Cradle of Filth, ...) and illustrated by Alain Descamps, graphical artist for Franco Dragone.

The Dark romantism isn’t born by chance and literally transcribe the hidden garden of a romantic author scorched by the wounds of an impossible teenage love.

Confronted to the fact that I couldn’t be with her, I started to write and unconsciously, I created a realm where we could be together. - Dorian

Inspired by the Hells of Greek mythology, Christian eschatology and tarots, this realm transports us on a spiritual path leading to the flowering of the soul. A graphical and poetical universe pretending to become a piece of “Total Art” of the 21st century through several medias (Internet, music, video, pictures, promotional visuals and concerts).

A piece of “Total Art” characterizes itself through the simultaneous use of several medias and artistic disciplines, and through the symbolic, philosophical or metaphysical meaning it carries.

Since its creation, the band tours with concerts from Mons (Royal Theater) to Klub Depo in Riga Latvia, and went in Studios all over Europe (ICP Studios in Brussels / Sound Division Studio in Riga / Redroom Studios in Norway) working with known professionals like Djoum (Indochine, Superbus, ...) and John Fryer.

I loved you is a great song, reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody - John Fryer, Riga, 2007 about the originality and musical quality of that song.

In order to push the perfectionism to its limits, each album will provide an original concept and will create its own realm following the previous universes. The end of the first album features a reference to the second one, now in preparation.

Their first LP titled Psychic Chasms will be released on October 13, 2009 and their is a lot of fantastic buzz and excitement with this record. Neon Indians is actually VEGA’s Alan Palomo’s new project.

“Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, Dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sum of its parts. Forged after a hazy winter gathering in Texas, this initial batch of tracks were the result of field recordings, record samples, a collection of bizarre synth sounds. Orbiting around the themes of drug induced heartbreak, weary afternoons, and lost chances, this music provides a lush soundtrack to the deadbeat exploits of teenage ennui.”

It’s to Cornershop’s eternal credit that, rather than attempt to exorcise the ghost of that song (or, to be exact, that remix) by throwing a decade-long sulk and retreating into tuneless unlistenability, they have instead embraced pop melodicism.

Even though they must know that their big moment will never return, they’ve turned out some cracking tunes since “Brimful of Asha”, blissfully oblivious to whether the world will be listening. For example, “Lessons Learned from Rocky I to Rocky III”, their swaggering T Rexy juggernaut from their 2002 album Handcream for a Generation.

The gloriously titled Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast picks up where Handcream left off. Something’s gone badly wrong with pop in those seven years, and Tjinder Singh and his songwriting partner Ben Ayres (who still holds downa day job as a press officer for Rough Trade Records) know it. Much of Cornershop’s sixth album is concerned with pinpointing what that something is, while simultaneously doing a little to put it right.

“Who Fingered Rock’n’Roll” combines a Stonesy riff with psychedelic sitar and soulful backing vocals, and, give or take the 47-second latino disco teaser “Half Brick”, most of side A (this album is broken into two notional halves, like albums used to be) continues in that vein: it might have been subtitled Exile on Jullander Shere.

When Primal Scream or The Charlatans do a similar thing, there’s an overpowering stench of death. Against the odds, Cornershop breathe new life into it. Side B shifts the emphasis to sunshiney fusion pop – typified by “The Constant Springs”, whose title is a reference to the baffling territorial bickering in Althea & Donna’s “Uptown Top Ranking” – barring a pointless but pleasant Southern rock’n’roll rereading of Dylan’s much-covered “The Mighty Quinn”.

The closing “The Turned-On Truth”, a 16-minute rock’n’soul marathon, brings us full circle to the Keefmeets- Ravi hybrid where we came in. Cornershop have done something rather unexpected here. They’ve created a cultural critique you can dance to.

The XX, four young, sullen-faced youths dressed in black, have that alluring band-as-a-gang aura about them. They spent their youth at south-west London's Elliott School (fellow alumni: Four Tet, Burial and Hot Chip) obsessively tinkering with instruments in the music room before signing a deal and self-producing their album in their record company's back office.

At first glance, you'd expect them to make basement rock'n'roll songs serrated with guitar feedback, but they're more interesting than that. For starters, they're fronted by a boy/girl combo - Romy Madley Croft (guitar) and Oliver Sim (bass) - whose interplay lends their debut an intimate tension. Along with bandmates Baria Qureshi (keyboards/guitar) and Jamie Smith (programming/samples), Croft and Sim craft languid, sparsely arranged love songs that recall atmospheric 80s acts such as the Cocteau Twins and Mazzy Star. Better still, they betray their south London roots: gentle, plaintive melodies are framed by minimal beats that nod to dubstep and R&B.

On paper, it's a mongrel mix. As the languorous swirl of Intro fades in, however, you immediately sense you're listening to something seductively special. When Croft and Sim start singing, on VCR, they come across as being in an advanced state of fatigue. Standout tracks such as Crystalised, with its off-key riff, possess a very modern sense of anxious turmoil, while Shelter mixes spare, dolorous guitar lines with a restless chorus. It's an album to play when you're wallowing in a comedown and slow-paced melancholy offers a strange comfort.

There is a lightness of touch at play that gives the XX a sophistication beyond their years. It probably means that their dream pop will become the ubiquitous dinner party album du jour. But really, their panicky atmospherics are too strange for that. This is uneasy listening to soundtrack the gentle gnashing of teeth.

The highly anticipated fourth album from country rocker Steve Azar, Slide on Over Here, is scheduled for release on Tuesday, August 4. Azar blends passion and energy into the 13-track album filled with all original material.

Slide on Over Here is an album that will satisfy the fans who have been on board from the beginning, and also open up the minds of those unfamiliar with the soulful singer's music.
The collection of songs offers a little bit of everything from romantic ballads to his signature rockin' themed melodies, and represents what his music is all about.

"Every note on this record is honest," notes Azar. "I think I've learned that you are always having a conversation with your audience. What do you want to say? What inflections will you use? Everything about that conversation has got to be honest."

The Delta native became a country music sensation with his 2002 hit singles, "I Don't Have To Be Me ('Til Monday)" and "Waitin' On Joe." He has since created music for movies, narrated a documentary and founded the charitable organization The Steve Azar St. Cecilia Foundation, which provides aid to disadvantaged, sick and abused children in the Delta and Nashville areas where the singer spends most of his time.

Slide on Over Here once again showcases Azar as a multifaceted talent as a singer, songwriter, performer, producer and musician. With songs like "I'll Find Me," "Startin' Today," and "Beautiful Regret," Azar delivers signature, soulful and bluesy vocals, sure to give the listener chills, and taps into his softer side with the romantic ballads "Sunshine" and "Hard Road." Azar stays true to his Mississippi roots with the jazz-infused "Sweet Delta Chains" where he takes the listener down to the muddy waters of the Mississippi to point out why there's no place like home. The song goes on to contain a hidden song of the raw and acoustic title track.

The album's debut single, "Moo La Moo," will ring true to fans of all ages, with his take on being broke long before payday rolls around. The video that features Azar's Hollywood actor friends Gary Valentine (King of Queens) and Paula Trickey (The O.C.), is currently airing on CMT Pure and online at CMT.com and GACtv.com, where it is a "Top Pick."

With this latest collection of songs, Azar demonstrates continued growth and maturity as an artist, and presents his most solid work yet.

“Some Assembly Required” is the 4th album from rock band “Assembly Of Dust”.

This NY-based quintet melds the deep grooves of blues and R&B with guitar work that recalls JJ Cale and Little Feat. Formed in 2002, the band’s first proper album was a live set released in 2004, followed by five “instant live” albums from their December 2005 tour, which made them a favorite in jam band circles. While he respects the jam band scene, founding member Reid Genauer believes his band’s focus on songcraft puts them in a different league.

Chuck Prophet's genius lies in assimilating a wide variety of genres into his
essentially Stonesy architecture ahead of the standard curve. From the seminal
'80s alt-country shimmer of Green on Red to his incredibly diverse solo sonic
quilt - early Americana rocker/mid-period electronic folkie/latter-day style
hybridist - Prophet has engagingly exemplified his surname. On Soap and Water
his Yep Roc debut, Prophet continues to defy easy categorization, seamlessly
weaving together his myriad roles: chunky rocker "Freckle Song", sensitive pop
balladeer "Would You Love Me", sonic dabbler "Doubter Out of Jesus "All Over
You". For his considerable talents as performer/arranger/stylist, the ribbon
that neatly ties the package is Prophet's lyrical gift, as his beat story-songs
pulse with novelistic detail, noirish humor and poetic ambiguity and bristle
with pure, guileless rock abandon. Originality is not easy in the derivative
rock world but Chuck Prophet has blazed genre trails for over two decades with
no signs of running out of inspiration or desire.

It looks like the boys from San Francisco went and got themselves a little bit of a polish and shine. It may seem out of character for a band that has been labeled as “cowpunk,” but it’s not like Trainwreck Riders have gone all American Idol on us.

The formula remains the same. Lead Singer, Pete Frauenfelder delivers his folksy, Americana vocals while the rhythm section of Steve Kerwin keeps the band moving forward with a furious energy that is the driving force of the band. Add to that a host of flourishes such as accordion, saw and fiddle that give the band a more texture without losing their trademark sound.

I’ve been waiting on this release since I saw Trainwreck Riders perform in Austin over two years ago. The stage is their natural element and allows Frauenfelder and Kerwin to feed off the crowd and fire around the stage with reckless abandon. The production team of Patrick Brown (The Black Lips, Gomez), and mixed with Jon Kaplan (Ash, Granddaddy) has done a great job of capturing that energy on the album, while not losing sight of their evolution as songwriters.

“Chug Along” sounds exactly like what you would expect a tune named “Chug Along” to sound like. It ambles along in no particular hurry, keeping you interested at every meandering turn. Fellow HearYa writer, Starkey, thought it sounded like a Modest Mouse tune, but I always come back to Uncle Tupelo when describing their sound.

A couple of the other standouts are “Three To The Clouds” with some nice female harmonies, “Trainwreck Heart” that has a twisting, twangy guitar lick and “Upon The Losing End.” Trainwreck Riders’ follow up exceeds two years of expectations and is one my favorite releases so far this year. Next up on their list of things to keep to me happy is a tour through Chicago.

Heavy Crown is the powerful new disc from Lovehammers, one of Chicago s
long-standing leading rock bands. The fifth full length from the band - Marty
Casey (vocals), Billy Sawilchik (guitar), Dino Kourelis (bass), Bobby Kourelis
(drums) - was produced by heavy-hitting producer Marti Frederickson (Aerosmith
Buckcherry, Pink, Faith Hill, Papa Roach) and restores faith that anthemic and
heartfelt rock and roll can still thrive. Set for release July 21, the album
includes 11 new and reworked studio tracks including thought-provoking
hook-injected airwave contenders and two bonus live versions of classic
Lovehammers songs, "Eyes Can't See" and "Velvet."

With a back catalog of four albums and three EPs and friendships that date back
to their Hickory Hills Little League days, the band s chemistry can t help but
be special. It s that chemistry that brought the guys together to create REEP
Records, the label that will release Heavy Crown to the masses, with
distribution through Fontana/INgrooves. "Lovehammers has been known to think
outside the box and the release of Heavy Crown is no exception," says bassist
Dino. He continues, "REEP - which stands for Record Executives Everyday People
will make decisions regarding singles, videos, touring, etc based on feedback
from the real music experts - the fans."

Lovehammers renewed D.I.Y. attitude comes as the direct result of the band
surviving the blessings and curses that came their way when vocalist Marty Casey
became a household name, earning the adoration of millions of television viewers
as the runner-up on the 2005 reality series "Rockstar INXS." The band was forced
to alter their title to put Marty s name in front for their lone Epic Records
release. Now the foursome has come full circle by returning to the Lovehammers
moniker. "We have control again and feel comfortable returning to our original
name," says the frontman

The new disc was originally planned as a remix album, with the band re-releasing
some of its signature songs on its own terms. While in the studio, the album
quickly turned into the band s first new studio disc in three years. Heavy Crown
kicks off with the band s explosive opening salvo "Guns." The track is an ode to
the servicemen and women who have given their lives while protecting our
country. The chorus - "Let's pray for all those sweet lives/That die with a gun
in their hands/Let's pray for all those sweet lives/That fight for our lives
till the end" reemphasizes the band s dedication to honoring these men and
women. Previously, the band created the "Shoebox Of Love" campaign which
encouraged fans to donate care packages to those fighting abroad. To date, over
1000 packages have been sent and the band is working on their "Shoeboxes @ Home"
campaign to support veterans

"Heavy Crown is Lovehammers firing on all cylinders," says Dino. Other standout
tracks on the album include "Your Time, My Time," "Neverfall," "Oh My Baby," the
uplifting title track, the in-your-face "Black Angel (Not Gonna Be The One)" and
"Driving Blind," with its soaring chorus and strings performed by the Chicago
Junior Symphony Orchestra. Marty hopes that each song finds a home: "I want
Your Time, My Time blasting a summer barbecue." As for the highly personal "Oh
My Baby," Marty says that: "When you write the goodbye letter and watch someone
you love walk off into the sunset, you don t really want to mail it. You d
rather burn it.".

After years of working with bands from Africa to the Middle East and honing his reggae, ska and mento expertise, Nicky has drawn on his musical journeys and philosophies to produce his first ever solo work, Planet Juice. This collection captures songs that have been sitting in the bag for years to new tunes - freshly squeezed.

His new work sees him getting back to his roots; spending more time on the drum kit on top of a kaleidoscope of other instruments including the ukulele, marimba and guitar. With a rich and exciting life so far, this album marks a new phase in Nicky’s musical journey, where the artist stands before the canvas, holding the brush alone. “It strangely took me a while to get started on these songs. I kept finding subconscious excuses to avoid the studio. Eventually I allowed myself to be vulnerable and feel the fear a little. It was the blessing the adventure needed. I now realise the possibilities are endless.”

With a passion for culture and people, Nicky has travelled extensively, immersing himself in the music and culture of places such as Ethiopia, Morocco, Jamaica, Europe and his birthplace Malta. Consequently, the music produced by this peace-lovin’ troubadour is a melting pot of fun, adventure and exotic sounds of the people and places he loves.

The live performance still holds sacred for Nicky who is eternally committed to creating a sense of community and unity whenever he plays. It is not uncommon for Nicky to go off on some magical tangent in order to really connect with an audience. Flying by the seat of his pants is something Nicky welcomes.

“I’m always aware of the active energy of a crowd. Believing in the moment and kind of steering that spontaneous beast can result in something really special. Absolute positive vibrations.”

Nicky has built a solid reputation in the music industry via many projects including conducting the 30pce Melbourne Ska Orchestra to playing drums on John Butler’s award-winning ‘Sunrise over Sea’ to being the Artistic Producer for the Multicultural Arts Victoria “Visible” project. Over the years he has formed and played with bands purely for the love of the music and the adventures they create.

I began the first pieces of a new album in late 2008, a little inspired by the appreciation some had given my previous attempts, but on the whole disheartened that they were nothing special and not memorable enough that people would feel compelled to share it with a friend. It gave me the feeling that I hadn't tried hard enough, that there must be better songs I can make, longer time I can spend on vocals and recording, and wider sources of influence to widen the range in sound. Perhaps the only worthwhile approach I could have to keep myself moving forward because this album like the others would still be given away for free.

For my first stroke on a blank canvas I didn't go the route taken previously to try and formulate song ideas and pick up the guitar, I went to a voice clip of John F. Kennedy in 1961 addressing congress on the importance of space travel. It set up the beginnings of 'The Way Of The Explorer' and allowed me to build an instrumental song up from sentiment and passion rather than a guitar chord. Re-creating the optimism for the future and the feeling of what it must be like to actually be up there fulfilling the hopes and goals mentioned in JFK's address with music was a challenge, but once done I had a place to progress from; the 50's and 60's.

To fully improve my music I had to consider my weakest element, my vocals. I expanded my original sentiment to re-create emotion with instrumental sections of music in the vein of Pink Floyd, but for the songs that featured vocals I looked to the harmony, the backing and the layer upon layer of voice from The Crickets The 'Chirping Crickets' album and the infamous 'Pet Sounds' by The Beach Boys for ideas. Stacking the vocal tracks with numerous tones wherever possible would give my voice more depth, and the addition of backing would further increase the melody present, ideas that are present throughout the choruses and verses of this album.

Charlotte(France) and Magon(Israel), met each other for the first time in March 2008 at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel-Aviv. After meeting and communicating over the internet for 2 years, Magon (Israël) invited Charlotte (France) to meet him in the real world and to create an "authentic and marvelous" pop album together in 12 days. Charlotte, curious and instinctive, agreed to the invitation, booked a flight, and they met concretely for the first time in March 2008 at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel-Aviv. They composed 9 songs and fell deeply in love. Their love became the core of the songs and brought to their music a timeless universality. Other then it's obvious meaning, "Love Happening" is also a reflection on the 60's and 70's, when artists were spreading their work on the streets, transforming a normal day into an unforgettable creative moment. The sweet and catchy melodies sung with passion and playfulness, the energetic rhythmic section, the groovy guitars and bass, the lyrical pianos and the psychedelic synth’s create an intelligent pop inspired by its faith in love. On stage, joined by talented musicians, the couple shares their love with an almost cinematic presence.

First bursting upon the music scene as lead singer of The Cranberries, Dolores O'Riordan has already had one of the most successful careers in popular music of the past 20 years. With four top 20 Billboard albums, eight hit singles, and worldwide album sales of over 40 million under her belt, she decided to embark on a solo journey. Her first solo disc, Are You Listening?, came out in 2007 and now, two years later she is back in action with No Baggage, a bright, clean, and astoundingly emotive recording. The album features not only Dolores' instantly recognizable vocal style and songwriting, but also a glimpse into a life viewed forwards and backwards simultaneously, seen most prominently in the quasi-Beatlesque track, "Fly Through" and the infectious, driving lead single

Second solo album, following 2007's 'Are You Listening', from former frontwomanof the phenomenally successful 90s Irish alternative band The Cranberries.Expanding on the indie rock sound of her debut, this album sees O'Riordanexploring a range of styles including a funky, bluesy hard rock feel asexemplified by lead track 'The Journey'.

What a joy it is to witness the becoming of an artist—the singular process of a talent developing, verging on a breakthrough. A maturing voice rising through the jumble that are ghost influences, past collaborations, and the sometimes inconclusive artistic decisions that comes with learning and trying to advance one's career.

Well on her way is French Canadian singer Bet.E (born Elizabeth Provencher), who first garnered attention as one half of Bet.E & Stef, the Montreal, Canada-based Neo Bossa Nova unit she co-led with guitarist/singer Stephane Carreau. Two albums in with Carreau—the last of which was released under the prestigious Verve label—the placid chanteuse split in late 2003 to launch her solo career. She returns with b.coming, a diversified record showcasing her sleek, suave vocal style, but one that unapologetically breaks from the Bossa Nova mold with poppier, contemporary-sounding tracks.

With its jazzy, Bruce Hornsby-reminiscent feel, "Omigod" is one of those tracks where her sensuous phrasing and tone espouse a funkier tangent. Other compositions such as "Encore," a typical AC radio-friendly song, as well as the groovy, all-French lyric "Les Histoires," also veer towards overtly commercial formats—which remain a not unthinkable future direction for the charismatic singer.

In fact, this foray into commercial genres causes some minor production issues (Provencher produced the whole record herself at home), sequencing being the most obvious. More, it aesthetically displaces focus away from the many delectable moments such as the entertaining "Eu Quero Um Samba" and the flute-filled "Feminina" with its superb nylon-string guitar solo. In instances where she arrives at combining both aesthetics into a single production—such as in Baden Powell's "Canto De Ossanha"—the end results are found to be not at all displeasing even if somewhat remote from more classic performances.

Notwithstanding its lack of focus and occasional conspicuousness, b.coming remains an outing likely to be enjoyed by music fans and general audiences alike.

Humbug, the third album from Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys, finds the band brimming with vim, vigor and new ideas. They brought in a new production accomplice, Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), for some of the recording. He generously hosted and produced tracks with them at his Joshua Tree studio. Then they rejoined forces with James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco), producer of the previous two Arctic Monkeys and Last Shadow Puppets albums, in Brooklyn, NY to complete the tracks that became Humbug. The album is a stunning set of songs both heavier and more lush than previous albums, but still full of the Monkeys usual punch and vitality.

Backed on most tracks by Brown, keyboardist Gregg Karukas, bassist Roberto Vally, drummer Sergio Gonzalez and percussionist Richie Gajate Garcia, she puts her unique, multi-cultural stamp on a 10 track mix of vocals and instrumentals that draws from her rich Latin heritage and love for both traditional and contemporary jazz.

You know, writers often enjoy chronicling an artist’s career from its very beginning to illustrate his or her staying power, progress or maturity over the years, etc. In the case of guitar virtuoso George Benson, clearly one of the most respected and admired guitar legends around, years just don’t seem to matter and, in fact, just melt into one huge mist of excellence that seems to simply disregard a beginning yet has no end. I can probably say nothing here that hasn’t already been said about this musical giant who sings, plays, and has indulged in practically every major musical genre almost effortlessly. Add that to the ever-growing company of artists who have come to know, experience, and respect the genius of Benson, and you’ve got an indelible chapter in the history of music that bears exploring time and time again. Here on his latest project, Songs and Stories, due for release on August 25, he again dazzles with his creativity, soul, strength, and balance.

Produced by composer/producer and bass heavyweight Marcus Miller and featuring a stellar lineup which includes guitarists Norman Brown, Wah Wah Watson, saxmen Gerald Albright, Tom Scott, percussionist Paulinho Da Costa, vocalists Lalah Hathaway, Patti Austin, Carolyn, Lori, and Sharon Perry; keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, and simply too many other bright lights to list here, each tune has a charming personality of its own, starting with the elegant treatment of the sweet and bluesy James Taylor oldie “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight” and confidently striding through the rest of album with taste and precision.

The breezy “Show Me the Love” is reminiscent of some of Benson’s earlier up-tempo movers, like “Gimme the Night,” in many ways, but it still breathes its own air as Benson chants and riffs in that unique and buoyant manner of his. The spiritual and even bluesy “A Telephone Call Away,” performed with the pleasurable addition of Lalah Hathaway’s pipes, has much character and is about as moving as you can get without breaking out in a triumphant testimonial shout. The track, “Nuthin’ But a Party” with Norman Brown and Marcus Miller should be just the remedy for any immobile day or night in your life. As if you needed more, Benson’s handling of Brook Benton’s classic “Rainy Night in Georgia”-- complete with soulful vocals by the guitarist-- is enough to stir even the coldest heart. And how can one ignore the offering of a splendid interpretation of Christopher Cross’s “Sailing?”

I could go on and on about this magnificent project with its dozen of dazzling pieces, but you truly have to “be there” to experience this one for yourself, and you will be able to do so in late August. Keep an eye and ear out for it.

From the wreckage of roughly 20 nameless and faceless Los Angeles bands, Neon
Horse arose as a collective of session musicians, home studio producers
waiters, and postal workers who found a commonality among themselves as
background players in the big picture of the L.A. rock scene. After passing
each other at dozens of shows sometimes only to lend a hand with a busted
chord or broken string, sometimes to keep an eye on the gear in the parking
lot and sharing countless tables for after hours war stories, the rather
clich d inevitable occurred and Neon Horse was formed. Citing influences
broad in range from the Rock of AC/DC, Oingo Boingo, and even the Stooges
to the Sass of Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, and the Eurythmics the band set out
to make music they could play with a straight face. Eclectic and manic, Neon
Horse is a band of Rock and Roll roots in the purest form: An ever changing
mercurial, addictive and at times, slightly bizarre continuation of
Rock s re-inventive nature. Neon Horse is back with their sophomore release
entitled, Haunted Horse: Songs of Love, Defiance and Delusion

Hidden Hands is Jen Cloher's follow up to her ARIA nominated debut album Dead Wood Falls (2006). The album was recorded live over seven days at Woodstock in Melbourne, where Cloher enlisted the services of ARIA winning producer Paul McKercher (Augie March, Sarah Blasko) and creative genius Laura Jean to join her in producing the album. Hidden Hands is like being handed a confidential diary and the album is a strong representation the country-rock grit and grace of the Endless Sea's live performance.

Prepare to be surprised, though: If the press surrounding Milky Ways, the third LP proper from French producer Joakim is to be believed, the new album will be a total departure from the fuzzy disco of 2007’s Monsters & Silly Songs. Inspiration is said to have been derived through extensive touring around the period of that last record, as Joakim and his group (formerly known as the Ectoplasmic Band) honed their skills on the road. The resulting album takes in moments of “psychedelia, old-school computer music, exotica, electro-pop, blues, new wave, New Pop, Krautrock,” in ten tracks and 51 minutes. The release marks something of a resurfacing for Joakim who, after a sustained period of prominence in and around 2007/2008 through a flurry of remix work, had been relatively quiet of late.

If you've never regarded the oud - the fretless lute at the core of so much traditional Arabic music - as a rock'n'roll instrument, then you've clearly never heard Speed Caravan or the frenetic and joyous playing of Mehdi Haddab. Once part of Parisian-based global electronica trio Ekova and then half of the experimental oud duo DuOud with Jean-Pierre Smadja, to call Haddab the Jimi Hendrix of the electric oud would, of course, be a hopeless cliché. But it's not that far from the truth. Now working as Speed Caravan with bassist Pascal Teillet and former Ekova electronic beat mistress Hermione Frank, the Algerian-French trio create music that references The Cure and The Chemical Brothers alongside Algerian rai and other Arabic influences in a glorious collision of global sounds and styles. Their debut album Kalashnik Love features guest appearances by Rachid Taha and members of Asian Dub Foundation.

If 2005’s Shallow was Pissed Jeans coping with moving out of their parents’ homes, and 2007’s Hope for Men their initial reaction to the mechanical lifestyle of a wage-earner, King of Jeans is their formal and uneasy acceptance of adulthood, by way of one hell of a rock record. Working with renowned producer Alex Newport (who holds a Fudge Tunnel pedigree and has worked with such luminaries as At the Drive-In, The Locust and Sepultura), Pissed Jeans have pushed further into the raw, minimal core of heavy rock music with King of Jeans. Masters of the mundane, beasts of the banal, high priests of the humdrum: these four, white, male high school graduates hardly look further than their own appendages for artistic inspiration, content to execute their own brand of brash and heavy punk music in the Joe Carducci-approved standard rock formation of guitar, bass, drums and vocals. From simple minds and simple fabrics comes this King of Jeans. And there can be only one.

Humbug is the upcoming third album by the British alternative rock band Arctic Monkeys. Like their last release - 2007's Favourite Worst Nightmare - Humbug will be released first in Japan, on 19 August 2009, followed by Australia, on 21 August 2009. It will then be released in the UK on 24 August 2009 and in the US the following day. The release precedes the band's headline performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals at the end of that week. The album's cover was revealed on the band's website on 22 June 2009. The songs "My Propeller", "Secret Door", "Cornerstone", "Pretty Visitors" and "Dance Little Liar" were leaked onto the Internet on July 26th, 27th and 28th, respectively.

Early previews of the album suggest that it is a departure from the style of the band's first two albums, with a prevailing influence from lead singer Alex Turner's The Last Shadow Puppets - the same "laconic croon" has been adopted by the whole band, "injecting the Arctics with a new sound that sends them onto wild soundscaping adventures". The album has been described as has having a "carnival-esque atmosphere", but it is described as a "spooky and ethereal trip, a lysergic cavalcade that haunts every track".

The band themselves suggested that the album would be "full-on", with tracks influenced by Black Sabbath, Alex Turner revealed that the band had listened to Jimi Hendrix and Cream while writing the new album.

ALE,DIEGO,NICKY,RAUL, friends who live in a small town near Milan, and who share the same passion for music in autumn 2005, after playing for different bands, wich however rolled in the same circuit, touring the whole Europe during these years and sharing stages with bands like TEN FOOT POLE and FOUR SQUARE, decided to create A PLACE IN THE SUN.

A "poppy fast" sound overseas, rooted in Europe for these four guys who grew up principally with the historic 90's bands, from FACE TO FACE to FOO FIGHTERS. Then after one year of rehearsal in studio to polish the songs and stimulate their creativity, in the hot summer of 2006 the guys entered in the recording studio, and after a month of pre-production they started with the shooting of their first album "LEAVING HOME" which was immediately appreciated by Graham pavey and consequently by INYA FACE/CR JAPAN. In spring 2007 they sign with the label,taking part of their rooster with bands as ALKALINE TRIO, RANDY, FRENZAL RHOMB, DUNCAN'S DIVAS and a great collaboration came out with the release of the full-length in Japan.

There are also two important collaborations with Simon head ,singer of Canadian band FOUR SQUARE and tour manager of SUM 41 from 1999 to 2001, who sang in the album, and Matt Fuzzo, bass player of Californian band BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, who made two remixes of their songs.

In January 2006 Johan and Lars had a couple of beers at Lars apartment in Stockholm. They knew each other since 3 years while DJ-ing together at a Stockholm rock club, but they never thought about making music together They shared a similar taste in music. Early 80…s post-punk like Cure, Chameleons, B-movie and Magazine, and also early 90…s indie music like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Shed Seven.

Almost instantly they discovered that their musical ideas, visions and experiences was complementing each other perfectly, and during the next two months they wrote and recorded ten songs in Lars home based studio.

Johan got a history as a singer/guitarist in the underground pop band Prune in the late 90s, and since the year 2000 he play the bass in the critical acclaimed Swedish rock group Fake Moss. Lars has been the guitarist in various industrial bands like Seven Trees and Run Level Zero. He has also been making electro-music under the alias of Kodji since the year 2000.

The band name, The Exploding Boy, and the new songs spread like wild fire in the Stockholm rock and indie scene. In only a couple of months their music had been played by DJ…s at 15 of the best clubs in Sweden. One of the demos found it…s way to the Swedish electro producer Sophie Rimheden. She liked what she heard and agreed to produce the song “Vampire”, a tribute to one of the bands favorite hangouts, the Vampire Lounge.

After being approached by a couple of record companies that liked the music and wanted to see The Exploding Boy perform live, Johan and Lars decided to gather some friends from the music scene to form a complete line up. In the beginning of April rehearsals started with Mario, Nicklas, Stefan and Tord, all of them with a musical past from different beloved Swedish bands.
Everything fell in to place and the band made their live debut at Fight Club/Stampen Stockholm the 5:th of May, The venue was totally sold out and the band conquered and explode!

Since the release of the self titled 2007 debut-CD, the demand for The Exploding Boy as a live act has constantly increased. In 2008 and 2009 the band managed to combine two short tours of France and Germany with the production of their second full length album.

The music and sound of The Exploding Boy has been updated and refined on Afterglow. The album has received great reviews, probably because it contains some pretty amazing songs.

Six Organs of Admittance is such a singular experience that it is sometimes easy to forget that Ben was the lead guitarist in Comets On Fire, as well as a songwriter and guitarist for Current 93’s Black Ships Ate The Sky album and half of the pan-Pacific psych-folk duo, August Born. But clearly, Chasny knows heavy, having grown through times of heavy and times of light. And in answer to the question what’s heavier, a pound of rock or a pound of feathers, Six Organs of Admittance has devised this for Luminous Night: a pound of rock covered with a pound of feathers — twice as heavy, but feathery light to the human eye.

With Luminous Night, Chasny’s working with some heavy dudes, like producer Randall Dunn and Eyvind Kang, whose sound on viola shines with a guiding glow throughout the album (both Dunn and Kang contributed their talents to the outré arrangements of the recent Sunn O))) album). The other invaluable contributors to the album are Hans Teuber on flute, Tor Dietrichson on tabla, Matt Chamberlin on drums, and Dave Abramson on percussion. Occupying their spots with care, they’ve collaborated to create something rich and vibrant, aching and new, in the world of Six Organs of Admittance.

The arc of Luminous Night is wide as the sky, commencing with a stirring instrumental evocation of the Greek myth of poor Actaeon before flowing into the vocal, the vengeful, the ancient, the divine and celestial, scored with guitars, bass, viola, flute, tabla, electronics and synthesizer, as well as a buried-in-the-rain-soaked-earth-of-Seattle-then-exhumed four-track cassette that formed the basis of the instrumental Cover Your Wounds With the Sky. For its blanketing sound, Luminous Night draws inspiration from such cinematic sources as Jodorowky’s El Topo soundtrack and the scores of Kurosawa’s samurai films, but is at the same time music that could only have come from the singular sound world of Six Organs of Admittance.

What is it about the man that buries his sound in the ground? He has faith in the earth, for one. When we think of Six Organs of Admittance, we think of a man with six-string ambitions, a rambler with mystic beliefs and dark electric visions. It’s a big universe and we’re only human, which basically means that we’ve got spirit and that were going to die. But until then, we live. Six Organs of Admittance has lived to tell about it on Luminous Night.

heat-ray are a 5 piece guitar-pop band hailing from Alberta, Canada. Compared to acts like My Bloody Valentine, Autolux, Eric's Trip, Th' Faith Healers, Dandy Warhols and even Swervedriver on occasion, they give a nod to their predecessors, but their music is a thoroughly modern marriage of diverse musical backgrounds and years of experience.

heat-ray began when seasoned Calgary veteran, guitarist Aaron Smelski (Hot Little Rocket and Lotus Galaxy) and vocalist Sheila Mann (Lotus Galaxy) decided to again pursue their love of loud and lush guitar-based pop music. Matt Pahl, guitarist/frontman of Edmonton's The Floor, moved to Calgary in April 2007 and quickly joined their cause.

The trio completed their new line-up in the fall of 2007 with Jon Pynn on drums and guitarist Joel Tobman on bass (both formerly of Shiver). They quickly gained attention and fans in Calgary by "charming audiences with their onstage version of a controlled nuclear reaction".

Since their inception, heat-ray have taken the stage with bands like Minus the Bear, The Cops, and The Dodos. They made a "huge splash" at Calgary's Sled Island festival in 2008, and have been on a steady trajectory ever since.

The group recently completed their full-length album, 'Loveallover', with producer Arran Fisher of The Summerlad. The album has been picked up by Pop Echo Records and is set for release in the summer of 2009.

"They are like all of my favourite bands in one chugging, soaring behemoth. The guitars are loud and surround you, the vocals purr/whisper sweet nothings (and somethings) in your ear, filling the hole in your soul left by My Bloody Valentine's eternal vacation. heat-ray are a rock n' roll space gun charged and ready to blow your ass to kingdom come."

Niccokick was formed by Andreas Söderlund in late fall of 2001. During a session with only him and the guitar, Andreas came up with the idea of starting a project playing only instrumental songs. He started adding vocals to some of the songs. This turned out to sound great. The first set up of the band was formed during Christmas 2001. Their first gig was held at The Tivoli, Helsingborg in early January of 2002 in connection to a music competition. Niccokick lost in their first contribution. In April of 2002 the first demo was made and sent around to a bunch of people. Good results for project: “Niccokick”! The demo was picked up by some great Swedish music magazines, such as Groove, Nöjesguiden and Sonic. The band performed a handful of gigs during the summer and recorded “Demo 2” on a portable recorder. “Demo 2” includes a tribute-song to the Swedish composer Georg Riedel, based upon one of his finest melodies. During autumn of 2002, Niccokick started the recordings of their third demo, simply named “Demo 3”. During this period Andreas also fixed gigs in a very special kind of way. He send nine different songs, in various envelops, every two weeks for four months to Sweden’s most respected festival: Emmaboda Festival. Each envelop was marked with only one letter, first N, then I and so on. That would build “NICCOKICK” after nine received envelops. The band was booked to the Emmaboda Festival of 2003.

During that period Andreas also send a demo to one of Sweden’s most wanted producers, Ronald Bood. After a month, Andreas called him and wanted his thoughts about Niccokick. He hadn’t have the time to listen. But during the recording of “Demo 3” there was a phone call from Ronald. - I’ve listened to the demo. You sound good. Ronald Bood got even more impressed when he got to hear “Demo 3”. - We just have to put out a record! Ronald says in their next talk. After a bunch of gigs, three EP:s and a producer that believes in their music, Niccokick is ready to save the world with their fragile pop that would make Neil Young and Stephen Malkmus faint of envy.

A year and a half after releasing the acclaimed Alopecia LP, WHY? returns with their fourth album, Eskimo Snow. The two records are each other's perfect foil: While last year's release found Yoni Wolf and the gang delivering a tight set of intricate rhymes, live loops, slurred hooks, and acerbic wit, Eskimo Snow offers a sung, sobering take on mortality that unfurls in lush waves of Americana and pop-infused psych-folk. Pre-mixed in Nashville by Lambchop's Mark Nevers (Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy, Calexico) and worked over by Alopecia engineer Eli Crews, this album is WHY?'s most live-sounding yet--a shadowy and sprawling piece as intimate in subject matter as it is handsome in timbre.

WHY? actually recorded Eskimo Snow at the same time as Alopecia, at Minneapolis' Third Ear studio, with Fog's Andrew Broder and Mark Erickson rounding out a live quintet. The vision for two separate albums emerged on a snowed-in night after a hot toddy or two. If Alopecia, however inexplicably, maintains a summery tone, then Eskimo Snow captures the bite and resignation associated with the Midwestern winters that these Cincinnati boys grew up with.

"These Hands" opens the album up rich and with deliberate pacing, Doug matching Yoni word-for-word (you'll find no vocal overdubs here) and the rhythm section operating under heavy reverb. Vibraphone likewise duets with piano, windy wordless vocals fly around the atmosphere, and wet footsteps soon carry us to "January Twenty Something." Here, you're in the room with WHY?, listening to the bass rattle the drums and the drums rattle the vibes. Amid this folksy grandness, the whole crew sings for the chorus, bending their harmony into a gorgeously warped drawl. Next, "Against Me" brings the album's brightest moment yet: a crescendo of bells that eventually dips into an aural whirlpool while Yoni spins picturesque observations like a countrified Dylan.

Across Eskimo Snow, Yoni weighs his ability to create a legacy against life's transience. On the luxe, pedal-steel-drenched "Even the Good Wood Gone," he transposes himself with a mummy in a museum, begging, "No flash photography," drawing a line from the dubious promise of fame to the brittleness of antiquity. For "Into the Shadows of My Embrace," he explores sex and decay while the track vacillates between a live wall-of-sound and spare church organ passages. "One Rose" is gentler, sporting a Western stride and dark piano hits whose echoing blackness mimics Yoni's wistful poems. Toward the song's end, the chorus of Alopecia's "A Sky for Shoeing Horses Under" makes a stormy reprise.

Most impressively, this record presents a band uninhibited, but evermore accomplished at imbuing sound with mood. "On Rose Walk, Insomniac" rolls forth on a tempestuous din, Josiah drumming hard through the chorus, where Yoni's voice sounds like its running through a Leslie speaker. "Berkeley By Hearseback" comes in so soft, the guitar tones feel like waves of grain next to the splashy cymbals and that Jim James-worthy cowboy croon ricocheting through the background. "This Blackest Purse" weaves a melancholy that shirks dourness for a curious smile. And when the titular song brings the album to a hushed close, Eskimo Snow's place in the narrative becomes clear. Rather than spit at death or threaten it with suicide, Yoni stops bucking against the inevitable. In the process, the band discovers a rich place that the rest of us can happily live within.

Fate Lions was founded in 2007 by songwriter and front man, Jason Manriquez. And, though the band has seen a few incarnations, it has ultimately evolved into a quartet of talented pop, rock and folk musicians culled from the North Texas independent music community.

“In about a year’s time, they’ve gone from so-so Americana act to one of the best pop-rock bands around. I’d have to tip my hat to ‘em anyway just for doing what they’re doing: conjuring up Nick Lowe-ish, R.E.M.-y, Elvis Costello-esque ‘80s radio pop. But the Fate Lions aren’t just aping some sort of distinctive sound from yesteryear to milk sympathy from old nostalgic tools like me. They’re being the real deal, expertly mixing jangly, cranky, countrified, Rickenbacker-tinged solos with snappy, toe-tapping beats and ooh-ahh-ing harmonies. ”
— Anthony Mariani, Fort Worth Weekly

The band spent a year recording “Good Enough For You” (an album title jokingly plucked from Manriquez’ own experiences regarding family and, oddly enough, food) at Salim Nourallah’s Pleasantry Lane studio in Dallas, Texas. Fate Lions was without a bass player at the time of the recording, so Nourallah stepped in to fill the bill while also producing the album. They have since adopted Tony Ferraro (Eaton Lake Tonics, Bob Fante) as their full-time bassist.

“Fate Lions, like Nourallah, make thoughtful but unrepentantly sumptuous pop with ear-tickling sonic flourishes such as creamy layers of background vocals, hand claps, tambourines, and enigmatic lyrics that step right up to the brink of melancholy but never fall into ennui.”
— Jimmy Fowler, Fort Worth Weekly

Cory Helms (Polyphonic Spree, Professional Juice) filled in on keys, and regular band members Niki Saukam and Josh Hoover played guitar and drums, respectively. The result is a lush, bright and melodic pop album that takes its listeners through landscapes of 80s riffs and 60s fillers, while keeping its feet planted firmly in the present through brilliant tongue-in-cheek lyrics and original toe-tapping melodies.

“Saukam’s and Manriquez’ guitars retain just enough snarl to remind listeners of the mother lode of Teenage Fanclub, Elvis Costello, and Smiths songs that inform the Lions’ sound.”

We have an old saying at Matador HQ, “the only thing predictable about Yo La Tengo albums is their high level of excellence and crazy amount of musical ground covered”. Trouble is, even if you believe we really have an old saying that unwieldly, it doesn’t really do justice in this instance. The new Yo La Tengo CD/2XLP/digital album ‘Popular Songs” could be the bravest musical statement to date in a career full of ‘em. Recorded in Hoboken and Nashville in early 2009 with longtime associate Roger Mountenot, ‘Popular Songs’ finds the trio of Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan and James McNew at the height of their creative powers, fashioning an epic work that’s cooly confident as it is wildly adventurous.

Even for longtime followers of Yo La Tengo, the stylistic range encompassed on ‘Popular Songs’ is startling ; the band aren’t merely conversant with rock & pop subgenres stretching into the double digits, but their unselfconscious mastery of such is simply uncanny. Without absolving you of the sacred responsibility of listening to this album from start to finish (with no commercial interruptions!) , we can say with full confidence there are portions of ‘Popular Songs’ where a cursory needle drop reveals a band that doesn’t sound instantly like Yo La Tengo — or at least how you recognized them prior to now. In the words of Mike Wolf, “Yo La Tengo is not afraid. They walk confidently forward, into the unknown, hand in hand. And 12 (or 14) albums in, they may just be hitting their stride.”

It’s hard to remember those days when Hundred Reasons first arrived on the scene, sounding so fresh and exhilarating. Listening to their subsequent releases, the memory of what once was begins to blur and become little more than a myth. You can actively deceive yourself that what happened back there was your fault - that naivety got the better of you, and you embraced Hundred Reasons far too readily.

Yet you can’t have been alone. Only a powerful, popular start allows a band to drift on for so long in this manner, on towards the middle of the road. Quick The Word, Sharp The Action probably won’t restore your faith in Hundred Reasons. It won’t get your heart beating faster. It is, at best, a decent pop record with a smattering of riffery that connects this band to their past.

Shun that desire for rocking out and there are plenty of tunes to sing along with. ‘No Way Back’, ‘Sick Little Masquerade’, ‘Boy’ and ‘Out Of Time’ are simple ditties beefed up with the traditional crescendos. They won’t blow you away, but they could each be successful radio hits. And as much as you want to fight back against this tide, you’re powerless to prevent Hundred Reasons getting older and tamer. Accept them on these terms, and Quick The Word, Sharp The Action will win over the part of your soul that enjoys a bit of cheesiness.

As an artistic prospect, though, Hundred Reasons are wearying and worn out; a band that can’t make up their minds. They imprison themselves in formulaic structures and then fight to break out of them - this is a band that desperately, desperately wants to tread new ground, yet because of their own limitations, and especially their kowtowing to melody, the task is beyond them. Instead, this is a collection of songs that sounds bitterly frustrated, especially when instrumental ‘Pernavas Iela’ and the baffling metal of ‘The Shredder’ break the pop flow.

What do they want to be? Pop? Metal? Post-hardcore? By failing to make up their minds, Quick The Word… becomes a rather confused album - one that has its moments but won’t reinvigorate the band’s career.

A natural talent

Ayoe Angelica is a natural talent, who started singing before she could speak.

New Model Army are a legendary global underground cult band. Formed by Justin Sullivan in Bradford in 1980, their beginnings were inspired by Punk Rock, Northern Soul and the incendiary atmosphere of the times. Since then, they have had a long, creative and eventful journey. They have been massively influential in ‘post-punk’, ‘folk-rock’, ‘politico-rock’, ‘goth’, ‘metal’ and all kinds of musical sub-cultures but have successfully resisted belonging to any of these categories or genres. After nearly thirty years, they have never lost the ability to change, to thrill or to challenge and they remain central to the lives of thousands of fans from all walks of life spread across the world.

In September 2009 they will release their eleventh studio album entitled 'Today Is A Good Day'. Mostly written last autumn in the wake of the Wall Street Collapse (an event celebrated in the white-hot opening title track), the recording was postponed by the sudden and unexpected death at Christmas of Tommy Tee, the band's long-time friend and manager. However, with another long-time friend Chris Kimsey (notable for his work with the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Cliff, Killing Joke and countless others) at the controls, the album is now finished - once again filled with unclassifiable music and challenging lyrical ideas.

Matt Hires (born August 5, 1985) is an American singer-songwriter from Tampa, Florida.

As a cabinet store worker by day and a musician by night, Hires always had a passion for music.Matt’s father, also a musician, introduced him to music at a young age, giving him the handmade guitar that Matt continues to play. Initially drawn to the punk and post-hardcore scene, Matt later developed an interest in artists like Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, which explains the uniqueness of his vocal and instrumental harmonies that dabble in both traditional and contemporary musical realms.

Matt’s early career began as a part of a quartet of friends, named Brer. After leaving Brer, Hires began performing as a solo artist and uploaded his recordings on Myspace, where Atlantic Records A&R executive, Gregg Nadel, fell in love with his sound. Soon Hires began working with producer Eric Rosse (Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos, David Archuleta) who helped him fine-tune his songwriting.

Matt Hires seems to be the epitome of the sunshine state: bare-footed, artistic, and coolly easy-going. But there's a lot more to him than meets the eye. Although he was a hockey player and enjoyed surfing and skateboarding, Matt was self-proclaimed nerd.Now, as a solo artist, Matt is poised to captivate audiences with his endearing personality, melodic sound, and undeniable talent.

Sleeping at Last is an emo/alternative rock band that was originally formed in 1998 in Wheaton, Illinois. Members of the band are lead singer, guitarist, and pianist Ryan O'Neal, bassist and keys Dan Perdue, and drummer Chad O'Neal. The group built a significant local following and opened for bands such as The Appleseed Cast and Switchfoot, attracting the attention of Billy Corgan, who got them signed to Interscope Records in 2002. Their major label debut, Ghosts, followed in 2003. National touring ensued, first opening for Zwan, then for Yellowcard, Something Corporate, The Format, and Bleu. They received airplay on Fuse TV and their song "Quicksand" was featured in the third season of Grey's Anatomy. Their third full-length, Keep No Score, was released independently. On November 29, 2008, it was announced that Chad O'Neal would be moving on to pursue other interests.

A breath of air in A Minor..

We are Rosaline. We do our own thing, march to the beat of our own drums, generally aspire to be the best musicians we can be, and try to translate that through our recordings and performance. None of us are very good at talking on stage :/. We might be the shyest band you'll ever see, but we're still very happy and grateful to be playing for you. We just really like to play music and aren't very smooth talkers. We started off as the local 'hardcore' band. We don't really know if that is still what we are, but things change in our world just like they do in yours. We don't put in metal solos and blast beats, not because we can't, but because they often don't fit in artistically with what we write. We only play breakdowns if the transition doesn't sound awkward. Our main influences are probably the appleseed cast and sigur ros, not underoath and norma jean. We paint our songs aurally, using notes as colors and progressions as a medium. The only thing you should expect from us is to keep making the best music that we can, we have confidence you'll like it. But if you're looking for chug chug chug weee in every song, please go to another band's page. We try to be as honest as we can, as hopefully you can tell. All of this music means a very great deal to us. Actually, to be real it means more to us than anything else in the world. If you read the lyrics, you'll see some of this stuff sits very close to the heart. No one wants sex or money. We want respect and recognition. This music has integrity and pride coming from our very beings, but we also want to be humble and just push forward. We have confidence, but at the same practice humility and modesty for ourselves. Never put syrup on your roffelz. Whether we're straight edge or a circle, christian music or death metal,we don't think it matters. We're about taking responsibility for our own actions either way, as you should be. You don't need to thank us for the add, we do it to expose ourselves. We should be thanking you for the time you took to listen. We appreciate it more than any other band in the world. If you'd like to take the time to talk to us, we will gladly talk back. No one here is a rock star or anything close.

Other than that, trust us when we tell you that we've been through more hits than most bands you probably know. Every time we fall, we come back. It's as easy as that. From a diamond hard resilience, a love for what is good, and unconditional brotherhood. Rosaline is the ripped banner in the sun, but still a waving banner none the less.

Nice post hardcore, very melodic and powerful.

Try to imagine all your favorite sounds. Imagine melody, harmony, summer shore lines and the drones from the engines that got you there. Now, take these sounds and drive them through an endless onslaught of distortion pedals and rapid-fire drums and you've got a little bit of Kestrels - a polite mix of sincerity and guitar rock excess, of melody and vibration, of every sound you ever loved sounding like you've never heard it before.

After releasing their first 7" on Noyes Records ("Seaside" b/w "On Our Time") to high acclaim, the boys are back with their first long-player. Crafted over three years in 6 different studios, 'Primary Colours' is a wonderfully ambitious and ambitiously wonderful debut album that begs to be listened to over and over again. An album like a charming scoundrel, making nice with your record player and then refusing to let her see other records. A skin of loud, distorted instruments hiding a layer of beautiful pop melodies just under the surface. Tracks such as "Sailed On", "Our Velocity" and "Ridicule" showcase the band brilliantly balancing noise pop and melody with a heavy rhythm section and colossal guitars. Hey, there's even a guitar solo here and there.

The album is a CD/LP and was released on July 7th via Canada's Noyes Records.

This is truly the case with UFO's newest release, 'The Visitor'. Due to the lineup of Mogg, Vinnie Moore, Andy Parker and Paul Raymond, it's no surprise that 'The Visitor' features the same musicality and energy which UFO fans have come to cherish from the band. Including almost a dozen new compositions, 'The Visitor' arrives in both CD and LP format.

13. Speech Therapy

Speech Debelle is unusually sensitive and articulate for a rapper, and more inclined to melancholy and pessimism than bullish breastbeating.

And thanks to the diverse input of collaborators from outside the customary R&B/hip-hop territory, the settings for her lyrical ruminations on Speech Therapy are vastly more interesting than most: Tunng’s Mike Lindsay, for instance, contributes the bricolage of clicky percussion, pizzicato strings and trumpet behind “Spinnin’”, and the wistful humming and acoustic guitar for “Live And Learn”, while Australian producer Plutonic Lab devises both the weird, clarinet-laced setting of “The Key” and the haunting string-synth, glockenspiel and guitar arrangement for Speech’s duet with Micachu, “Better Days”.

But the album title is a touch too apt: the issues she raps about – her absent father, lonely hostel existence, grim inner-city conditions, romantic break-up, and her general struggle to deal with life’s confusions – don’t make for particularly cheery listening, and her constant tone of hurt reproach enervates rather than uplifts.

Toronto’s first family of funk and soul is Blackburn. “Brotherhood” is their first Blues recording – a CD celebrating the traces of traditional blues, R&B, soul, hard grooves and harmony that only siblings can create.

The launch of “Brotherhood” returns the Blackburn brothers to the prominence they enjoyed when entertaining packed houses at their old stomping ground, the Bamboo Club. For 15 formidable years, they were part of Toronto’s street culture representing a lineage of unmistakable nocturnal hedonism.

New Orleans has the Neville Brothers; Toronto’s Blackburn similarly fires up live shows with scorching soul power. The brothers put on a show rich in the tradition of the blues, while inflected with an electric urban vibe.

Blackburn’s wickedly tight sound features lead singer, Duane Blackburn, playing a vintage Hammond B3 organ as if he was born on the bench. Duane has a sensuously smooth, yet powerful voice. Crack session guitarist Brooke and drummer Cory have played with many of Canada’s best blues and R&B artists, such as Shakura S’Aida and Liberty Silver. Bass player Mark Ayee has played with the brothers since childhood.

Well-known in Toronto’s African Canadian music scene, Duane, Brooke and Cory Blackburn follow a rich legacy, passed down from their father Bobby Dean Blackburn, that trails back to the Underground Railroad. Their dad led the band at the Zanzibar Tavern on Yonge Street during the 60s and 70s. Brooke carries on his father’s leadership as Artistic Director of Canada’s longest running summer festival in Owen Sound, The Emancipation Festival.

“ ... A stunning performance... simply magnificent.”

Bathed in torrents of cascading sound, They Blind
The Stars, And The Wild Team is a true musical
adventure and Decoder Ring s best work yet - no
small accomplishment given the critical, listener
and award circuit praise already heaped on the band
both locally and internationally. The album, which
was recorded in the US with American producer Scott
Colburn (Animal Collective, Arcade Fire), and
co-produced by Decoder Ring, is the conclusion of a
journey that began with the multi award winning
soundtrack to the Australian film Somersault , and
was swiftly followed by the critically acclaimed
Fractions in 2005

Since their return from North America in 2006 the
band's members have dedicated themselves to a period

George Thorogood & The Destroyers have returned to Capitol/EMI for the July 28
release of The Dirty Dozen, a scorching new blues-rock album pairing six new
studio recordings with six classic fan favorites, including three popular tracks
that were previously out-of-print in the U.S. The album will be widely
available on CD and digitally, and it will also be exclusively available for
purchase on vinyl LP from www.georgethorogood.com and at the band s concerts on
tour. Thorogood & The Destroyers will travel to more than 30 U.S. cities this
summer on a tour that includes 22 co-headlining dates with Jonny Lang

The Dirty Dozen features Thorogood s signature blues-rock vocals and guitar
playing on 12 songs, many of which were written by a who s-who of American blues
legends, including Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Sleepy John Estes, Chuck Berry
Howlin Wolf, and Willie Dixon. The album s new recordings and fan favorites
are grouped as LP-inspired sides

I'm a big fan of vinyl, says George Thorogood, It s important to me to make
The Dirty Dozen available on LP, and I definitely had vinyl in mind as one of
the formats for this release when we were recording the new tracks. When we
started sequencing the track list, I thought it would be fun to group the songs
like an LP, for all of the formats - vinyl, CD, and digital - just as they would
be placed for a classic vinyl album. So the new recordings are Side One and the
rare tracks are Side Two

Launching the new recordings on Side One of The Dirty Dozen is Willie Dixon s
swaggering Tail Dragger, vividly illustrated by Thorogood s vocals and guitar
followed by his new take on John Hammond s version of Sleepy John Estes Drop
Down Mama, a rocking jam that s driven by Thorogood s muscular guitar playing
Also on Side One are Thorogood s new recordings of Muddy Waters Born Lover
Bo Diddley s Let Me Pass, Twenty Dollar Gig, by Mickey Bones, and The Holmes
Brothers Run Myself Out Of Town

Side Two s fan favorites open with Thorogood s previously out-of-print guitar
and sax-propelled take on Willie Dixon and Howlin Wolf s Howlin For My Baby
followed by Howlin Wolf s Highway 49, a bona fide juke joint roof-raiser
loaded with slide-laden guitar riffs. Side Two also features two other
previously out-of-print tracks: Chuck Berry s Hello Little Girl and country
standard Six Days On The Road. Treat Her Right and Blue Highway are also
included

For more than 30 years, George Thorogood & The Destroyers have been a powerful
force in blues rock music. Since releasing their self-titled debut album in
1977, they have toured and performed with many of blues most legendary artists
including Hound Dog Taylor, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Bo
Diddley, Albert Collins, Johnny Johnson, John Hammond, Elvin Bishop, Eddie Shaw
and Buddy Guy

George Thorogood & The Destroyers released their self-titled debut album in 1977
and quickly established themselves as radio favorites and as a touring machine
They signed with EMI for their major label debut, 1982 s, Bad To The Bone, and
they recorded seven studio albums during their tenure with the label, departing
after 1997 s Rockin My Life Away. Described as the world s greatest bar band
the group has had tremendous success with Thorogood s original compositions like
You Talk Too Much, I Drink Alone and of course Bad To The Bone; he s also
had hits with covers of iconic blues-rock songs like Who Do You Love (Bo
Diddley), Move It On Over (Hank Williams) and One Bourbon, One Scotch, One
Beer (John Lee Hooker). 2004 s Greatest Hits: 30 Years Of Rock was Billboard s
#1 Blues Album in 2004 and 2005, and the band s 12th studio album, 2006 s The
Hard Stuff, hit #2 on Billboard s Blues chart

It feels like a homecoming for me, to be back with Capitol/EMI for The Dirty
Dozen, says Thorogood. This album is also a homecoming of sorts for us - it s
a real rocker, full of songs we ve always loved playing, including some that our
fans have told us they like a lot but haven t been available for a while. We re
definitely going to be playing some of these songs on our tour. I m ready to mix
it up and crank it up, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the shows this
summer.

Don t let him fool you. He might say he wants to do bad things with you in his
powerful single Bad Things (from HBO s True Blood ), but the truth is Jace
Everett is a real gentleman. It s hard to imagine him doing bad things with
anyone, unless those bad things involve his unique brand of Nashville country
rock. In fact, he s more likely to lend a friend a helping hand, or charm this
reporter starry-eyed

Everett s brand new album, Red Revelations came out on June 23 from Weston Boys
Entertainment, and I ve been listening to it ever since. An impressive vocal
range and driving bass lines make the album immediately ear-catching, from the
sultry opening track Posession to the hip-swaying Lean Into the Wind to the
final track Bad Things. It s an album full of stories, both playful and dark
Some songs will get you tapping your feet to the rhythm and getting down with
your bad self, while others will make you want to pour yourself a tall glass of
whiskey and take a trip down memory lane.

While Barry Goldberg's recording career is largely hogged by tapes of jam
sessions dominated by blues cover versions, he was an excellent songwriter
and more than deserved the respectful treatment he got here from a production
team that consisted of none other than Bob Dylan and Jerry Wexler. This is a
collection of ten of Goldberg's original songs, including the title
"Imagination" that was a hit for Gladys Knight & the Pips. Goldberg may not
have the voice or the personality to have been a leading singer/songwriter
type, but his delivery certainly suits most of the numbers, such as the fun
"Big City Woman" and the intriguing "Shady Hotel." On other numbers, at least
Goldberg has the benefit of being able to say he wrote the songs, since there
is just no way he can compete with Gladys Knight vocally. His "It's Not the
Spotlight," on the other hand, is such a classic performance that the entire
issue of his vocal presence is unimportant. A large cast takes part in the
proceedings, including none of this artist's usual cohorts. A nice pastiche
of different roots genres takes place, no surprise considering the
involvement of Dylan, who can be heard contributing background vocals here
and there as well as a touch of percussion. A soulful rhythm section
featuring keyboardist Barry Beckett, bassist David Hood, and drummer Roger
Hawkins is on board, and is just what the material needs, but there are also
shades of country and old-timey courtesy of pickers such as banjoist Rule
Yarborough and fiddler Al Lester. On the whole, this is an unjustly neglected
album and a feather in Dylan's producer's hat, which he hardly ever wears

Los Angeles based electronic duo The Polyamorous Affair release their sophomore effort on Manimal Vinyl this summer. Consisting of singer/songwriter/producer, Eddie Chacon and the seductive front woman Sissy Sainte-Marie, they churn out 10 electro-pop gems under the concept of "Bolshevik Disco".

ThChacon himself is no stranger to the spotlight, having been one-half of the R&B duo Charle and Eddie (#1 hit "Would I Lie to You). Barely out of his teens he worked on 2 Live Crew's notorious album " As Nasty As They Wanna Be" and with Daddy-O of Stetsasonic. After leaving his adopted home-base in Denmark, Eddie returned to Los Angeles and formed The Polyamorous Affair with spouse and former primary school teacher, Sissy Sainte-Marie. Together the two deliver the inspired dance beats of Giorgio Moroder and the raw sexuality of Serge Gainsbourg's collaborations with vixens, Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. Give that a twist of Marc Bolan-esque hooks and Goldfrapp's technological pagan naturist ways and you get The Polyamorous Affair.

Their songs have been praised by queen blogger, Perez Hilton and used on the TV show Ugly Betty. Get ready to pass "Face Control" and brace yourself for Bolshevik Disco".

Languages of Decay show us the two sides of the band: one more intense and inward-focused
and the other more danceable and powerful

(lyrically and musically speaking) from dark and oppressive passages of solitude and hate
passing the ironic history of the lack of communication, to rabid and tension released under
violent accords

The idea of Replica is only one: to create a sonic curtain that stays in the ears and minds
of the listeners that try to make a step further inside the world of Replica's songs
understanding the language that this band try to express

2009 album from Electro-Pop artist Victoria Hesketh AKA Little Boots. Hands is 42 minutes of pulse-racing, heart-felt crystalline Dance Pop and, best of all, the album lives up to the hype (myspace action, Jools Holland appearance, etc.). Kicking off with the Greg Kurstin-produced single 'New in Town', Hands contains a carefully chosen selection of her 'early' tracks ('Click', 'Earthquake', 'Mathematics', 'Meddle' and 'Stuck On Repeat') as well as some brand new tunes that are guaranteed to be massive (listen to 'Remedy' now!) The end result is a Pop album that rises above the rest; one that contains universal melodies sung with heart-felt passion. 12 tracks. Warner.

"Spirit Moves" is largely inspired by Dave Douglas's appreciation for fellow trumpeter Lester Bowie's sweeping artistic vision. Bowie, who died in 1999, not only influenced Douglas's approach to playing, composing and arranging, he obviously taught Douglas a thing or two about defying boundaries. "In a way, he fought for the equality of all music," Douglas writes in the liner notes, "always with joyousness and good humor."

Those same traits are evident throughout "Spirit Moves," a witty mix of New Orleans swagger and Memphis soul, vintage refrains and contemporary pop.

While the ensemble's instrumentation (trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba and drums) lends itself to Crescent City sounds and Bowie's brand of "serious fun," Douglas casts his net wide. Besides fashioning tributes to trumpeters Fats Navarro and Enrico Rava, the Grammy-nominated trumpeter imaginatively rearranges Rufus Wainwright's "This Love Affair" and Otis Redding's "Mr. Pitiful" en route to the album's haunting coda, a soulful rendering of Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry."

Fans of Bowie's work with his Brass Fantasy ensemble will find plenty to enjoy here. And surely with a little exposure, Brass Ecstasy will find its own loyal following.

In the annals of whiteness, Mayer Hawthorne is a glass of skim milk, a corpse pulled from a lake, a man so pale-skinned he's damn near blue. On the cover of his debut record, A Strange Arrangement, he looks like Tobey McGuire as directed by Wes Anderson, making a donation to NPR as the Starlight Vocal Band plays in the background. He is that white. His name is Mayer Hawthorne, for chrissakes!

But then you listen to Hawthorne's music and you suddenly realize this thirty-year-old nebbish from Detroit is a good glory ~censored~ give the drummer some SOUL SANGER! A Strange Arrangement is a master class in soul music, jumping from Curtis Mayfield's bongo-fueled funk to the slow-dancin' groove of the Stylistics. Fair warning: The LP doesn't hit shelves until September. But the first single is already out, and it's a killer. On "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out," Hawthorne cribs one of Bobby Womack's classic spoken-word intros before leaning into an aching falsetto that invokes Smokey Robinson at his sweetest. And his talent doesn't stop there: Hawthorne plays every instrument, and arranged the album, too.

Fat stuff for a glass of skim.

Robert Cray’s This Time – the first studio album on singer-songwriter-guitarist Cray’s own imprint Nozzle Records, distributed by Vanguard Records – arrives at a vital juncture in the musician’s career, marked by creative renewal and a key reunion with an old performing partner.

The five-time Grammy Award winner summarized 35 years of mastery on the debut Nozzle release Live From Across the Pond (2006), an electrifying two-CD concert set drawn from a series of shows (opening for Eric Clapton) at London’s Royal Albert Hall. When the time came to follow up that widely praised collection with a studio recording, Cray viewed it as an opportunity to move his sound in other directions.
He found exactly what he was looking for by turning to one of his oldest friends and colleagues: bassist Richard Cousins, whose tenure with the Robert Cray Band began with its barnstorming regional origins in Eugene, Oregon, in 1974 and extended through 1991, encompassing such early high-water marks as Strong Persuader (1986) and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (1988), both winners of the best contemporary blues performance Grammy.

I’ve known Richard for 40 years,” Cray says. “We go back to 1969, and we grew up in the same area together. We’ve always had a really good rapport together stage-wise. Richard and I have remained the best of friends ever since he departed way back in ’91. I’d still see Richard, whether it was in the States or in Europe – where he still lives. He’d always come to see us at the gigs. We always remained close. We talked on the telephone all the time.

“It just so happened that last year, I wanted to make personnel changes in the band. So I asked Richard to come back.”

Cousins’ return to the Cray fold bonds him once again with keyboardist Jim Pugh, a cornerstone of the guitarist’s group since 1989.

In the hunt for a new drummer, Cray – with encouragement from Cousins—struck on a musician whose style and experience perfectly complemented his own: the road-tested Tony Braunagel, whose résumé includes work with Bonnie Raitt (including her Grammy-winning Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw), Taj Mahal, Keb’ Mo’, and B.B. King.

Cray recalls, “I’d seen Tony work in a lot of different situations before. My first real opportunity to play with him was three years ago, when we did a benefit up in Portland, Oregon, for our friend Curtis Salgado. Tony was playing drums there, and Richard was there, too – they were the rhythm section. Richard was working really well with Tony, and they were kind of fronting the whole jam. It was great. I was talking to Richard after he’d rejoined the group, and I said, ‘We need to find a drummer.’ He just went, ‘Tony!’”

The refreshed lineup of Cray, Cousins, Pugh, and Braunagel came together at Santa Barbara Sound Design in Santa Barbara, California, to record what became This Time. Cray produced (though he notes, “Every time I produce, it’s like a communal effort”), with Don Smith engineering.

Cray says of the sessions, “I really looked forward to it—to how Richard and I were going to gel together after having not played together for a long time, and to bringing Richard back to work with Jim, because we did all get a chance to work together for two years, before Richard left—and then having Tony come in.

“Richard and Jim and myself have all known each other for a while, but when we added Tony to the mix, it was like, ‘Hey, where you been?’ We all get along really, really well. It was fun, and everybody brought something to the table. Tony’s interpretation of what we were doing was just spot-on, and of course, with his background, all the music that he’d listened to and played coincided with the music we’ve listened to and played over the years. It was like the perfect hand in the glove.”

All of the band members contributed fresh material to This Time. Cray brought in the title track, “Chicken in the Kitchen,” “I Can’t Fail,” and “Trouble and Pain,” and co-wrote “Forever Goodbye” with his wife Sue Turner-Cray. Pugh authored “Love 2009” and “To Be True.” Cousins and the Swiss soul/blues musician Hendrix Ackle collaborated on “Truce.” And Braunagel and guitarist Johnnie Lee Schell co-authored “That’s What Keeps Me Rockin’.”

As ever with Robert Cray’s undefinable sound, the music on This Time remains stubbornly beyond category. He has been internationally admired as a stylist whose innovations have brought new life to the blues, and such punchy outings as “Chicken in the Kitchen” and “That’s What Keeps Me Rockin’” should satisfy the most demanding blues fans. But the new album’s barrier-busting material – whether it’s the soulful “Love 2009” or the profound balladry of “This Time” and “Forever Goodbye” – demonstrate once again that attempting to slot Cray in a single genre is an exercise in futility.

Blues is one of the foundations of our music, but it’s not all that we play,” Cray says. “When I first started playing guitar, I wanted to be George Harrison – that is, until I heard Jimi Hendrix. After that, I wanted to be Albert Collins and Buddy Guy and B.B. King. And then there are singers like O.V. Wright and Bobby Blue Bland. It’s all mixed up in there.”

He continues, “Every time somebody asks me about where my music comes from, I give them five or six different directions – a little rock, soul, jazz, blues, a little gospel feel. Then there are some other things that maybe fall in there every once in a while, like a little Caribbean flavor or something. You just never know. I always attribute it to the music we grew up listening to, and the radio back in the ‘60s. It’s pretty wide open. It’s hard to put a tag on it.”

grooves, dazzling melodies and seductive magic that have
become his trademark, Burnin' perfectly reflects the
incredible synergy the charismatic Taylor has had for over a
decade with his devoted audience, and takes his music to a
whole new urban adult contemporary dimension. The collection
is also the sax man's fourth in a row--after 2003's Steppin'

Somewhat frustratingly for the rest of us, Portland-based producer Johnny Jewel seems to have found his niche recruiting attractive singers to his various disco projects. Having already released albums with Chromatics and Glass Candy (fronted by Ruth Radelet and Ida No respectively), Jewel formed Desire after spotting vocalist Megan-Louise singing in a Montreal bar. Joining them is drummer Nat Walker from Chromatics, making Desire a kind of supergroup of musicians from New Jersey label Italians Do It Better. Under the stewardship of Mike Simonetti, the fledgling imprint has become synonymous with blissed-out disco, and now boasts quality acts like Bottin, Tiedye and Professor Genius in its stable. But its Jewel's projects that feature prominently: Chromatics' 2007 album Night Drive, along with the After Dark compilation of the same year, first brought IDIB into the limelight.

This offering is very much in keeping with Jewel's style: sharp piano stabs and synthesizers form a subtle, icy backdrop to sultry vocals. What sets Jewel's work apart from many other disco acts is his reluctance to use computers and new equipment in both production and live performance, thus giving the music an analog quality that is infinitely more arresting than most contemporary disco counterparts.

The majority of the lyrical content is bleak; this is not an album that grabs you on the first listen. Instead, I found myself slowly succumbing to its charms after several runs through. "Mirroir Mirroir" is the most accessible and dancefloor-orientated song on the album, with Louise echoing that well-worn fairytale phrase, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all." Then her dark lyrics come to the fore: "I worked so hard and for what?...Show me your heart and I'll show you my blood." After "Don't Call," a classic piece of disco-noir, the album takes a noticeable spin towards the melancholic, with prominent Italo beats replaced by slower, moodier synths and high-end piano.

On "Dans Mens Reve" a saxophone solo follows an introduction reminiscent of a needle running over vinyl (as previously used by Jewel in Chromatics' "In the City"). Jewel's instruments take a back seat to Megan-Louise's vocals on "Oxygene," while "If I Can't Hold You," with three minutes of static after the track is finished, brings II to a moody, wordless close.

Vitalic (born as Pascal Arbez in 1976) is an electronic music artist. According to a joke made in an interview, Arbez is Ukrainian and emigrated from Ukraine to East Germany when the Berlin Wall fell, accompanied by his dog, “Mini Robot”. Pascal was actually born in France and is of Italian descent.

His first singles were released in 1996 and 1997, but were confined to the underground electronic music scene. However, he became good friends with Michel Amato, a.k.a. The Hacker, whom he met in the Rex, the “techno temple” of Laurent Garnier. The Hacker suggested him to send his new tracks to DJ Hell, head of Gigolo records in Munich. Pascal did so, and International DeeJay Gigolo Records, released the well known Poney EP in 2001, which was a huge success shortly after its release. With the track “La Rock 01”, Vitalic created a club anthem which was subsequently played by Sven Väth, which was a hit with clubbers in the summer of 2001. The track was also included on many compilation albums, even rock compilations.

In 2005, Vitalic’s debut album, OK Cowboy was released on Different/Pias. Pascal states that all of the instruments used in the album are synthesized. His official website states that “the only thing he can’t fake is the emotion that galvanizes his music.”

Throw Me the Statue is an indie folk group from Seattle, Washington, United States which consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist Scott Reitherman and a revolving lineup of musicians and formed in 2005. TMTS’ debut record “Moonbeams” was issued in 2008. It features the single “Lolita”. The band’s new EP, “Purpleface” was released in early 2009.

Perhaps more sonically upbeat than its predecessor, Creaturesques details are at times painted in both optimistic and sobering tones. Reithermans scattershot poetics touch on an array of ideas its oppressive American machisimo and Suburbanite sexuality. Its soft drugs and convertible cars. Its the struggle for higher expectations within the mess of modern life, and when wrapped up in the structures of Throw Me the Statues sure-handed tunes its an all too delicious combination.

State Of Survival is the second studio album from Flipsyde, which has been released this year.

Flipsyde is a rap/R&B/rock band from Oakland, California. Flipsyde consists of band members Steve Knight, Dave Lopez, Jinho "the Piper" Ferreira, and recently Chantelle Paige. They have toured extensively with Fort Minor, The Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg and on the Anger Management Tour. Flipsyde's single, "Someday", was chosen as NBC's theme song for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games held in Torino, Italy, as well as part of the soundtrack for the 2008 film Never Back Down. Their debut album, We the People, also featured three other singles ("Happy Birthday", "Trumpets (Never Be The Same Again)", and "Angel") and was highly lauded by critics, including a review from the Washington Post proclaiming it the best hip hop album of 2006.

In 2008, following the addition of Paige to the group, Flipsyde once again had a song of theirs selected as a theme song for the Olympics. This time their song "Champion" was chosen as the theme for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, as well as the primary song for EA Sports NBA Live 09 video game. They enjoy touring in India, where their first tour took place in 2005 via VH1's Hip Hop Hustle, and have already performed there twice and may be planning a third trip. Recently it was announced through their MySpace that they had started touring with Akon, promoting their second studio album, State of Survival, produced by Akon and Konvict Muzik. The album has started being released on varying dates across the world via Kon Live Distribution and Cherrytree Records, and contrary to earlier reports Akon is not featured on any tracks.

In March 2009, Ferreira ("Piper") was selected to present his original screenplay "Walter's Boys" in the Tribeca All Access Program (TAA) at the Tribeca Film Festival in Lower Manhattan, New York. "Walter's Boys" is about "a clandestine training operation led by an ex-CIA agent recruits urban teens, but faces treacherous consequences from the trainees’ intent to break free with the help of a former mentor." Ferreira describes "Walter's Boys" as "an action thriller inspired by my brother-in-law Sgt. Elijah Warren's service in the Army's 5th Special Forces Group. After he committed suicide I felt compelled to share the story I had created with others." On April 24th, it was announced that Ferreira's script won best screenplay at the festival, netting him a $7000 prize as well as an original art piece.

Cocteau Twins founder and indie guitar demi-god Robin Guthrie has always been both reliable and respectable (musically, anyway), but seldom surprising. The pleasant and elegant dreampop instrumentals of Angel Falls do not waver from this trend. However, they don't indicate any declining quality in his singular soundscape wizardry either.

The most glib and simplistic (yet extremely accurate) way to describe Angel Falls is “this sounds exactly like some of the better Cocteau Twins songs, but with Liz Fraser’s vocals replaced with guitars.” Of course, I was never a particularly huge Fraser fan, so that is perfectly fine with me. However, the absence of a vocalist does have some negative consequences: pop instrumentals are kind of a hard sell. I suppose perhaps a vocalist humanizes music and creates a stronger connection with the listener, or maybe the presence of lyrics just adds more information and variation to the melody (which makes multiple listens more rewarding), or maybe there is some intangible third possibility that has not even occurred to me yet. I suspect it is a riddle that I will never truly solve. Regardless, I hope this EP finds a suitably receptive audience somehow, as this is some great summer music. It would also be great music to soundtrack a shoegazer barbeque, an alternative prom, a montage of bittersweet romantic memories, or an epic heroin binge. To his credit, Guthrie has presciently and decisively filled those niches before most of the world was even aware that they existed.

Angel Falls consists of four short songs, all of which are quite enjoyable and adhere very closely to the sound that Guthrie is known for: layers of chiming arpeggios and hazy heavily chorused chords, melodic bass lines, and an atmosphere of blissful melancholy. “Camera Lucida” kicks off the EP with all of these elements in maximum abundance and gradually builds from a gentle ringing melody into something that approaches a rock song, while the following track (“Love Never Dies a Natural Death”) is a sleepy gem of slow-motion, quavering beauty. The somewhat darker closing track (“Delicate”) is probably the best piece on the album, as it shimmers, glistens, quivers, and chimes with an elegant, spidery beauty and spacey bliss that one can only get from the guitar of Robin Guthrie. The whole thing is over in less than twenty minutes, which makes this EP a very effective teaser for Guthrie's upcoming new album: rather than overstaying its welcome, Angel Falls left me wishing it hadn't ended so soon.

While I certainly enjoyed Angel Falls quite a bit, it is nevertheless a clear example of why Guthrie has always been a bit of a puzzle to me: it has been over twenty-five years since the Cocteau Twins' debut album was released and there has been very little deviation from that original formula since. It seems strange to me that someone who heavily influenced My Bloody Valentine and played such an integral role in defining the whole shoegazer genre would be so reluctant to expand his very narrow sonic palette. I wonder if Guthrie is in a creative rut or if he just a victim of his own prolific output: it is hard to imagine Kevin Shields being as revered as he is if Loveless had been followed by half a dozen more albums in roughly the same vein. Then again, perhaps Guthrie just has a very specific vision of how he wants to sound and has spent his entire adult life trying to perfect it. Or maybe his more adventurous impulses are vented in his filmmaking and soundtrack work. Or maybe he has been saving up all of his wild and brilliant ideas for next Violet Indiana album (if it ever comes out). Yet another possibility is that I need to stop overanalyzing his creative arc and just be happy that he is sitting in France quietly amassing a large body of great songs- it’s hard to say. Regardless, a new release from Guthrie is always welcome and 2009 is packed full of them: he has a new full-length (Carousel) dropping in August and another EP (Songs to Help My Children Sleep) slated for October.

With less guest appearances, a better finished sound, and more conceptual Bizzy tracks, this might be the best Bizzy release of the 3 he has with Hi Power Music. It is less commercial than the previous one so the radio heads may find it too underground for their tastes, but Bizzy sounds better on this than he has with any other underground project.

Power-pop throwbacks passionately embrace their sources of inspiration

In 2006, Sweet and Hoffs demonstrated with engaging ’60s collection Under The Covers Vol. 1 that revisiting rock standards is a viable aesthetic pursuit. Like its predecessor, their new ’70s retrospective uncannily re-creates indelible tracks from primary Sweet inspirations Todd Rundgren (twice), Big Star, Fleetwood Mac (with Lindsey Buckingham guesting) and Yes (ditto Steve Howe), while also giving Hoffs a chance to wrap her crystalline voice around unexpected choices like Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” and Bread’s “Everything I Own.”
Working out of his home studio, Sweet—joined by drummer Ric Menck and multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz—nails every sonic nuance, buried under cumulous clouds of glorious boy/girl harmonies. The sheer joy that permeates thrilling performances like The Raspberries’ “Go All the Way” and Derek & the Dominos’ “Bell Bottom Blues” makes for a captivating listen.

The Fantastics formed in 2003 from the wreckage of legendary UK Hammond funk outfits The Soul Destroyers and The Longo All Stars. Formerly Reverend Cleatus & the Soul Saviors and having released music on Raw Wax, Soul Cookers and Tramp Records, The Fantastics present their new album for Freestyle Records, 'Mighty Righteous'.

Fusing funk, soul jazz, blues, wailing horns and throbbing Hammond organ, The Fantastics are no strangers to the fast and furiously growing scene, having performed 2 live sessions for Mark Lamarr for BBC Radio 2, as well as the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show for BBC Radio 6.

The band have taken Europe by storm after incendiary live gigs in London, Italy, Spain and France, not to mention sharing the stage with The Herbaliser, The New Mastersounds, Marva Whitney, The Godfathers Of Groove (Reuben Wilson & Bernard Purdie) and Speedometer.

When you could still buy them new, Hammond Organs came with bass foot-pedals, and on the title track 'Mighty Righteous', in the true Blue Note style, the organ-antics come via hands, feet (and possibly elbows) to join forces with soulful horns, drums and guitar in a throbbing Hammond groove! In memory of the recently departed organ giant Jimmy McGriff.

'Nine Lives' is a foot a stomping, jazzy, guitar led northern soul type instrumental, like they used to make ages ago but no one has for absolutely years. You'll dance!'Soul Child' sees British soul legend Noel McKoy at the top of his game, whilst 'White Out' a deeply odd, funky, electric piano dub-blues improvisation goes where no blues has gone before!

''Thank god for The Fantastics! Not only should you buy their album, go witness them live!'' - DJ Format

''An incendiary mix of Auger-esque Hammond, JB groove & Funkadelic cosmology!'' - Mojo Magazine.

Reverend (aka Jon McClure) hails from the musically-renowned land of Sheffield, UK. Before this project he sang for Judan Suki and 1984 finding underground local fame and getting a name for himself. He has already collaborated with Arthur Brown, John Cooper Clarke, Tim Hampton (Bromheads Jacket), Mike Hughes (Trap2), Chris McClure, Laura Manuel (ex Judan Suki), Andy Nicholson (ex Arctic Monkeys), Tom Rowley (Milburn), and Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) as well as working with producer Alan Smythe. For live gigs Reverend has assembled ‘The Makers’, a superband of relatively unknown musicians.

In October 2006, following extensive touring and having built up a hardcore fanbase, the band signed to Wall of Sound records. Their first single “Heavyweight Champion of the World” recieved good airplay on Radio 1 and hit the UK Top 10, and has become of this summer’s anthems for many clubbers and festival goers alike, appealing to fans of both dance and indie.

Another single (He Said He Loved Me) is to be released at the end of August, alongside an album (State Of Things) in September.

Wax has donned the ribbon on his best work yet, the semi-biographical album ‘African dream’, to be released in July 2009. In the album, he tells stories of love and war, drawing blood from afropessimists, celebrating love with beautiful urban soul rhythms, and strengthening his appeal as a humanitarian activist. Listeners can expect to experience a Wax again reinvented, delivering a conservative yet universal urban sound that will entrance listeners for ages to come. The first single from the album, “Miss Real, Mr Regular’ is quickly becoming a sing-along in many parts of the world: it defines Wax’ unique vocal charm, and is sure to mark the rise of one of the world’s finest soul singers. Think Joan Amatrading meets The Cure. With a youthful, contemporary touch of Africa.

"My new album is African Dream, and that is what it’s all about. The fact that you could see a child on TV and this child is desperate and hungry. Yes the child does need food, but it doesn’t end there, that child, has a brain that could produce a business idea like Facebook, that could build a plane, that child could be anything because a child has that ability," he said.

Having released an energetic live album in 2008 and a Motown tribute in 2007, the James Taylor Quartet return to the sort of classy jazz-funk that was evident on their 2006 release "A Taste of Cherry". As ever, their sound is instantly recognisable but has moved on again and, whereas the new element in "A Taste of Cherry" was brought by Nigel Price's guitar work, here the defining sound is added by Nick Smart's beautiful horn arrangements.

The other progression for this album is the huge variety of sounds and styles which are covered, without ever losing a sense of continuity. Mr Taylor's trademark Hammond organ is joined by a number of other keyboard sounds, such as the Fender Rhodes electric piano, the Hohner Clavinet and a Bluthner grand piano all of which expand the JTQ sound.

The album begins with a fierce statement of intent as organ doubles bass and Adam Betts's crashing drums set the pace for "Blacksmith" before colour is added by flute and Rhodes. Later on the album is a sort of accompanying piece in "Stonemason" where the sledgehammer drums accompany a driving, Brian Auger-esque jazz-rock tune.

Next is the dreamy "Rochester Raining", a classy piece of fusion which begins with an evocation of rain but soon picks up into something sunnier, in a similar vein to the title track.

"Same Old Fool" is the first of two tracks to feature the vocals of Corrina Greyson and is a funky workout with a Donald Byrd feel. The other is the party funk of "Get on Your Feet", which makes you want to do just that and is likely to be a live favourite.

"Inner Mystic Love" is a beautiful, piano-led samba that makes moving irresistible, whilst also being highly evocative. Later, the grand piano is used in more reflective mood for "Blue Lady", an affecting ballad of introspective delights.

The breakneck, cop show funk of "Hotwire" leads into the sophisticated jazz-funk of "The Jazz Cafe Theme" before the album closes on a truly uplifting note, as the grand piano takes the lead again for the gospel-inflected "Milk and Honey" which has echoes of Ramsey Lewis, Billy Taylor and even Nina Simone.

The JTQ continue to plough their own little niche, making records that will be bought by their in-the-know fans but escaping the notice of the majority of the record-buying public. Which is a pity because music like this deserves to be heard, having the musicianship of jazz and the accessibility of rock or pop. It is a cliche that musicians always declare in interviews that their latest album is their best and yet, in this case, that might just be true. It is certainly a collection of very fine tunes which are brilliantly played and has the power to move both emotionally and physically.

A new Global Underground concept focusing more on the DJ hardly sounds like revolutionary stuff; after all it was their legendary original series that first capitalized on the growth of the superstar DJ with front cover pictures and DJ-branded marketing. What is new with Global Underground DJ though, is Nic Fanciulli: A distinctly fresh face and intentional break from the old guard giants of prog.

Just like the rest of the GU catalogue, the first disc is much more interesting, tracing a multitude of sounds that supposedly—according to the press release—represent something of the influences and heroes of Fanciulli. It's fascinating, then, that the majority of the material is from 2008 with the inspiration seemingly embedded in producers of the pedigree of Rolando and Nick Holder and in a classical house sound, such as the Balearic piano sentiments of "Faces" or the enthralling tech warmth of "Love Never Sleeps." It is, in fact, the breadth of track selection that maintains the intrigue, utilizing the full array of enduring genre characteristics—an acid throb, a minimal bleep or some epic prog. Then, in Pangaea's "Router," containing the most haunted vocal you're ever likely to hear, disc one rounds off in meaningful style, albeit emphasizing that this is very much a collection of tracks rather than a smooth mix.

The second disc is Fanciulli in club mode, with fresher material—including two of his own—pushing the BPM counter harder and delivering his more customary sound. Rolando bares his Detroit soul for the opener "The Afterlife," after which the mix thumps into techy-minimal action and remains there throughout, only relenting slightly for Einzelkind's "AKA The Groove"—the track's title aptly elucidating what the mix misses in sufficient doses. Worse though, the inclusion of "Emissions," by Dubfire dulls the vibe; personally I've had enough of the "have you seen the size of my crescendo?" style the SCI+TEC boss pinched off Paul Ritch and has since imitated poorly.

With the digital proliferation of music, GU holds nowhere near the same influence it once did as pioneers of the dance compilations market. The inaugural edition of this new series almost reflects that. A decent overall effort from the type of DJ unlikely to polarize opinion, disc one alone makes this worth a listen; but another GU classic, it is not.

The Kid returneth with a new album of nitro-fuelled booty rave and electronic dancing gear for his Tigerbeat 6 institution. Since we last heard from Miguel De Pedro on last years 'Kill Soundboy Kill' set he's moved to Berlin and developed a serious thing for kebabs, besides producing this album of scuzzy rave-made clangers. Divided into four movements, and bearing some 17 tracks, it's probably his most ambitious project to date as it incorporates darker electro-pop influences with classic rave tropes and a thorough spanking of mindless booty. The recent single 'Mr Wobble's Nightmare' is included, alongside the Alec Empire alike 'Samhain California', the Neil Landstrumm style multi-dance collisions of 'Getranke Nasty' and ultra raw and nasty Chicagoisms on 'You All Break My Heart'. He's obviously expnaded his scope massively with this album and in the process turned out one of his most listenable and coherent sets to date. Ace.

Beggars is the upcoming sixth studio album by American rock band Thrice. It is due for release through Vagrant Records exclusively on iTunes on August 11, 2009, with a physical release containing bonus material to be released October 13th, 2009

The first single, "All the World is Mad," will be released as a downloadable song in Guitar Hero World Tour on July 23.

Due to security flaws with a web player that Vagrant Records had been using for the past three years, a promotional version of the album was leaked to the internet on July 20, 2009. The label subsequently issued a statement claiming that "someone clearly and unfortunately went out of their way" to hack into their system, and that "the link got into the wrong hands and someone took the time to figure out how to get around the password and user log in.". The band themselves later responded to the leak, stating they were "disappointed" but "moving forward", while also stating that the record's "entire retail marketing plan" was being changed. Following this, the original release date of October 13, 2009 was pushed up to August 11, 2009 exclusively through iTunes initially, with a physical release date still pending.

Letters. Remember those? You can’t knock the immediacy of email, it’s true, but most of us miss those hand-written communiqués from lovers, family or friends. Somewhere on the envelope was a postmark, testament to a passage across actual land or sea, rather than a rapid zap through cyberspace. “That’s why the name ‘The Postmarks’ stuck with us”, says Christopher Moll, one third of the Miami trio with that very moniker. “We liked the romantic notion of a postmark documenting a letter’s journey.”

Together with fellow multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Wilkins and singer/lyricist Tim Yehezkely, Moll crafts meticulously arranged, richly cinematic music with subtle nods to Bacharach, Brian Wilson, classic British indie and vintage French pop. Had The Sundays embraced a baroque aesthetic or Van Dyke Parks orchestrated an especially autumnal-sounding Françoise Hardy album, it might have sounded something like The Postmarks’ self-titled debut.

“We aim to produce songs that sound like they’ve always existed and always will exist”, says Christopher of his band’s chic, sepia-tinted output, and with Yehezkely and Wilkins on board, all is possible. Tim, we should point out, is a gal with a boy’s name; a beautiful, yet inscrutable individual possessed of a soft-textured voice that’s simultaneously seductive and detached. When Tim Yehezkely sings, clocks stop, people listen, and ice cream refuses to melt.

South Florida alternative band The Postmarks, comprised of Tim Yehezkely,Christopher Moll and Jonathan Wilkins, return with the new album Memoirs At The End Of The World. This is a follow up to their self-titled debut album which garnered a 7.9 on Pitchfork.com, graced the pages of Rolling Stone, and reached #7 on CMJ album charts.

Bahamas is Afie Jurvanen, and for the last many years he's been playing other people's music. PasoMino, Great Lake Swimmers, The Stills, Howie Beck, Amy Millan, Jason Collett, Hayden and zeus all claim to have had played music with him and some of these artists even go so far as to include his name in their liner notes. Youtube footage confirms he's spent the last few years playing piano and guitar with Feist. He walks with a strange and haunted gait, due to a horrible knee injury suffered while on tour, and it's rumored that this might be what led to the appalling "shorts on stage" incident. No photo's of the crime have surfaced and the indie rock police are asking anyone with information to come forward. A Bahamas live show is likely to be a solo affair, though lately, a host of Toronto time keepers have been sitting behind the drum kit to accompany the Finnish-Canadian through a set of his so called "love songs." "Pink Strat," the title of Afie's debut record, and is most likely an homage to the very old, and very wimpy sounding Fender Stratocaster that he's been known to play. Jim Downes March 2009.

Lightning Dust is a Canadian indie rock band, based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The band is a side project of Amber Webber and Joshua Wells, both members of Black Mountain. Wells has described the band, whose sound is softer and more melodic than Black Mountain's hard rock, as arising from the desire to "do something that was sparse and minimal, and with a lot of space around it.", while Webber has described the band as an opportunity to "explore her goth side."

The band released its self-titled debut album on Jagjaguwar in 2007. The song "Wind Me Up" was featured as the free "Single of the Week" in the iTunes music store (Canada).

Amber Webber and Joshua Wells have been playing together for many years as part of Black Mountain. They’ve toured the world and have played impenetrable space-rock to the unlikeliest of audiences. With an abundance of creative energy to spare, the two decided to start a separate project together, that they named Lightning Dust.

Committing themselves to a more simplistic approach with Lightning Dust, Webber and Wells also decided to escape the comforts of their familiar instruments and writing styles. On their self-titled debut, minimal and spacious arrangements and a moody, theatrical vocal-style aptly expose the demons, creating songs that creep into your bones with a haunting chill.

The album was recorded in a dank cave and a bright blue house, perhaps an unconscious yet obsessive protest of the sunny beach and beer world that surrounded them on the outside. But despite this unattractive external world, and while completing the album in small fits of insanity, the two were compelled to retreat to the coastal summer air from time to time, when they could take no more of the shadowy frame that they had decided to enclose themselves in.

Many of the songs on this self-titled debut began years ago as melodies which persistently floated around in Webber’s head. And, conveniently, Wells was at a loss for words to accompany the piano songs that wouldn’t leave him alone. Their creation Lightning Dust matched these lingering ghosts with each other, creating a special, lasting work that perfectly brings together the shadows with the sunshine.

Another album, Infinite Light, is finished and will be released in August.

The mysterious New Jersey-based Memory Cassette release this EP as their debut missive, and the first track alone is enough to have you firmly hooked. The sublime alt. summer anthem 'Surfin' brings to mind the kind of faux-nostalgia and psychedelic disco of a band like Air France, creating phantom-like pop music that's somewhere between MGMT and Boards Of Canada, while the voice sounds rather like Mercury Rev's Jonathan Donahue haunting your house. Thoroughly strange, but massively beguiling throughout.

Beggars is the upcoming sixth studio album by American rock band Thrice. It is due for release through Vagrant Records on October 13, 2009.

The album is currently set for release on October 13, 2009. The first single, "All the World is Mad," will be released as a downloadable song in Guitar Hero World Tour on July 23.

Due to security flaws with a web player that Vagrant Records had been using for the past three years, a promotional version of the album was leaked to the internet on July 20, 2009. The label subsequently issued a statement claiming that "someone clearly and unfortunately went out of their way" to hack into their system, and that "the link got into the wrong hands and someone took the time to figure out how to get around the password and user log in.". The band themselves later responded to the leak, stating they were "disappointed" but "moving forward." They also claimed that the record "will be available for download, legally and voiceover free – the way it was intended to be heard – as soon as we can possibly make it happen," going on to say that "leaks happen overnight. Changing an entire retail marketing plan doesn’t."

Ever since the airing of "MTV Cribs," it has been a well-touted fact that rappers love gangster movies, especially ones that star Al Pacino. Fabolous has channeled an apparent love for Brian De Palma's Carlito's Way into Loso's Way, his follow-up to 2007's From Nothin' to Somethin'.

Fabolous seems to have gone all out for this release, with tracks featuring guest spots from The Dream, Keri Hilson, Ryan Leslie, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, and Jeremih.

They even went as far as to make a fake trailer for a Loso's Way movie that won't be in theaters near you. The clip features cameos from Juelz Santana, Styles P, Ed Lover, and Sleek Louch.

In 2006 Cave In took a break from the music world after releasing Perfect Pitch Black. But it looks as though a three and a half year hiatus was enough to rekindle the desire to make music, because the Boston-based band has regrouped and will be releasing a new EP along with a coinciding reunion show this July. To be titled Planets of Old, the new EP will be released on 123 vinyl only via Hydra Head Records. The album will be released on July 19; the same day the band will be playing their release show at Great Scott’s in Allston, MA. Along with Cave In’s performance, Disappearer and Phantom Glue will also be playing. Cave In worked with Paul Q Kolderie, who has produced for the likes of the Pixies and Radiohead, on four tracks for the new record. Planets of Old will be Cave In’s sixth studio album to date, since their formation in 1995.

After almost 10 years since their acclaimed debut work Stazione Getsemani (Mellow Records1999) Odessa have recorded their new album.some tracks are in italian, some in english, some in french and some are instrumental. my rating 3/5

Davvero interessante questo ritorno dei nostrani Odessa, a ben dieci anni dal primo e pluridecorato 'Stazione Getsemani'. La loro proposta ruota ancora attorno all'hard rock progressivo degli anni '70, ma con 'The Final Day (Il Giorno Del Giudizio)' i nostri palesano una maturazione artistica davvero accentuata. La forza espressiva degli Odessa è tutta legata, dunque, al modo in cui raccoglie e reinterpreta la pesante eredità di compagini come The Trip, Il Rovescio Della Medaglia (entrambe omaggiate in precedenza da cover apprezzabilissime) e Balletto Di Bronzo. Al tutto, poi, si aggiunge un'apertura mai sfacciata nei confronti di altre correnti musicali come pop, jazz e funky che donano all'intero lavoro una dimensione più amichevole, fresca e accessibile. Dal punto di vista tecnico, comunque, questo rimane un lavoro di altissimo spessore, con delle strutture metriche spesso complicate e un'ottima ricerca armonica che rende ancora più piacevole l'uso di divertissement caratteristici come l'hammond. L'omaggio al passato torna, rigoroso, anche questa volta, con la cover 'Cometa Rossa' in tributo agli storici Area di Demetrio Stratos e alle sue ineguagliabili doti canore. A convincere sopra tutto, però, rimane l'equilibro alla base della proposta della band, sempre ben bilanciata tra virtuosismo, forma canzone e aspetti melodici.

Andrew serves as a Sr. Associate Pastor at the Neighborhood Church, in a wonderful City in Northern California called, Chico.

His first CD, "Alone" appeared in late 2003, and has sold nearly 2500 copies with little to no marketing. The original pieces on this CD, along with arrangements of three old spiritual songs has brought peace to the weary traveller, the fearful child in bed at night and caught the attention of businessmen who were listening to it on hold. "Alone" is not flashy, it is authentic, it will help you to relax, think or to sleep.

"Vintage Christmas" released in November of 2007. It is a collection of holiday favorites that is the first to feature vocals and full instrumentation in our line of CDs. Everything from the 50's sounds of Rockin' around the Christmas Tree to a violin solo on Silent Night, Vintage Christmas has a little something for everyone.

It's a hilarious title from a band that left the scene in 2003 when they realized that they weren't selling many records or getting much airplay. It was at that point that Mark McGrath reinvented himself as a host and landed one of the main spots on Extra. After a fun run on the show, McGrath decided it was time to go back to his roots and reunite with the band.

Like their successful contemporaries Kings of Leon, the Features play gritty, punk-ish rock & roll and pop music, but with a heavy dollop of soul that belies their Southern upbringing. On "GMF" the group combines a driving, Strokes-like groove and melody with Supertramp/10cc-style Rhodes keyboards and harmony vocals, while the quirky "Concrete" sounds like the Kinks jamming with `80s art-rockers Sparks. Throughout, lead singer Matt Pelham reveals his Tennessee roots by giving a vocal performance that is equal parts Michael Stipe and Stax

On June 17, 2009, Bug Music CEO John Rudolph announced that his company and Kings of Leon would be entering into the joint venture of establishing a new record label imprint, where Kings of Leon will have the freedom to sign and champion artists of their choice. The Features are the first band to be signed to the imprint, and the first release as part of the deal will be their highly anticipated LP, Some Kind Of Salvation.

Energetic. Raw. Powerful. Melodic. Intense. Rock

These are words that have been used to describe Algren, a fresh rock band from
Chicago that has burst onto the local music scene with their unique blend of
introspective lyrics, searing guitar riffs, grooving rhythms and dynamic
songwriting

Algren formed in late 2006 and hit the ground running, quickly building a strong
repertoire of alternative/indie rock songs. Known for their inspiringly
energetic sets, Algren played gigs at numerous Chicagoland bars and clubs
throughout 2007 and 2008, including highlight performances at Double Door, Cubby
Bear, Elbo Room, and the Downers Grove Heritage Fest. The band is quickly
building up a devoted fan base with the help of various media outlets, such as
Q101, 97.9 The Loop, Fearless Radio, the Red Eye, Rock Chicago on CANTV-19, and
The Local Tourist. Algren is also a member of Chicago Noise Machine, the
consortium of local bands that also includes A Birdsong Valentine, Bullet Called
Life, Echoson, Heavy the Fall, Lucid Ground, Reverie, 72 Hours, and Simplistic
Urge

All four members are dedicated and driven musicians, performers, and promoters
looking to make a name for themselves in the regional and national market while
performing the music they love. The group just finished recording their first
full-length album, "A Wayward Sound Floods the Streets," and will release it in
early May 2009.

This new full-length from Red Collar, Pilgrim is really hard to pin down. It was
described to me as Fugazi meets the Hold Steady, a strange pairing if there ever
was one. Listening to it though, it's obvious why those comparisons were made
The super-angular guitar parts in a lot of the songs are straight out of the
Fugazi playbook, and some of the more grandiose moments here certainly wouldn't
sound odd with Craig Finn crooning over them. Pilgrim is quite honestly one of
the most original records that have crossed these ears in quite a while

The Fugazi influence really shines on both "Hands Up" and "Rust Belt Heart," the
guitar work having the same sort of focused noodling one would find in many of
that band's songs. "Stay" and "Catch A Ride" possess the same quality to a
lesser extent, but the slightly more subdued manner in which Red Collar execute
these parts actually enhance the songs, instead of leaving them feeling cold and
somewhat devoid of emotion

Meanwhile, the freewheeling nature of a lot of these tracks lend themselves to
the notion that the Hold Steady were any sort of analog for Red Collar. The
incredibly catchy "Used Guitars," with those infectious group vocals in the
chorus, as well as the captivating performance by vocalist Jason Kutchma, are
both highlights, as are the title track and the heavily acoustic, totally
awesome "Tonight"; the electronic tinges and reverbed vocals mesh surprisingly
well inside the song's minimal shell

Things become slightly more brooding on "Tools," as the instrumentation and
vocals definitely feel far darker than anything else here. The driving, jagged
guitars coupled with light keyboards give the song a real Murder by Death feel
and that's certainly far from a bad thing. The only other slight example of this
dynamic from Red Collar is in "The Astronaut," though it's largely in the
vocals; the guitars crunch along and the drums pound with calculated ferocity
leaving before it wears out its welcome

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Pilgrim's opener, "The Commuter."
Appropriately enough, the song's intro is minimal and atmospheric, with sounds
of vehicles whizzing by liberally thrown in. The song has a compelling buildup
and a satisfying payoff replete with loud guitars and strong vocals from
Kutchma. Those group shouts of "we been workin' overtime" are definitely
appreciated, too. When listening to a record from a new band, it's pretty much
essential that the opening track has to be good, and "The Commuter" delivers big
time

As hard as it has become to forge an original sound in any scene these days, Red
Collar have done a nice job in carving out a new niche with Pilgrim. It's fresh
exciting and compelling, and I look forward to hearing more from this band.

"The one-man band is a tour-de-force of gutbucket guitar squabble, vocals so
feral they'll make you lock your doors at night, and a live set that goes down
like a cocktail of whiskey, amphetamines and black-humored despair." LA Times

Austin Chronicle

Most one-man bands are one-trick ponies. One riff, one sound, one gimmick, one
bucket, whatever. Not Scott H. Biram. The man can and will throw down some
feral, amped-up Delta blues just as easily as a stone cold country weeper
that'll get the girls all dewy-eyed with faith and desire, or even a heavy metal
field holler with the emphasis on
holler. He can and will hold an audience rapt when he sings from the bottom of
his boots about what it takes to get saved and how he'll end up blowing the
deal

Austin TX's self-proclaimed Dirty Old One-Man Band's third album for Bloodshot
is profane and tender, alluring and frightening, and while such intensely
polarizing forces would tear a lesser man apart, Scott appears to revel in the
tug of war. With his '59 Gibson hollow body, mouth harp and electrified stomp
board, his muddied water gospel is sly enough to charm the devil, and the hip
shake boogie irresistible enough to get the Man upstairs to come down and share
a bottle of the brown with him

Performed, recorded and produced by Scott hisself, with the notable exception of
the rave up "I Feel So Good" done with blues punk duo the Black Diamond Heavies
Something's Wrong/Lost Forever is a record rife with testifying and torment. The
grungy strut of "Time Flies" and the Waylon-worthy lament in "Still Drunk, Still
Crazy, Still Blue" shows that real pathos lurks beneath the brim of Scott's
trucker cap, while the two-step rant of "Judgment Day" has him at his wide-eyed
best. Check out the way he draws a line in piss and whiskey from the sweaty
heaviness of the Delta to dudes throwing devil horns at a metal concert in "Hard
Time," or the eerie, on-his-knees lament sung with maximum distortion on "Go
Down Ol' Hannah." Just him and his maker

A compulsive tourer, a Scott H. Biram sermon/concert/throwdown is not hard to
find. Take heed, though, one dose and you ll want to drink out of the same well
that he has. Scott H. Biram is not a one-man band, but Scott H. Biram is a band
that s one man

"The simple truth is that listening to Something s Wrong / Lost Forever makes me
smile. I can t help but to be happy when it s playing. For me, it s not just
Essential Listening, it s gonna be a top 5 of 2009." 9 Bullets

"If one could transform the latent energy emanating from the iconic Johnny Cash
"flippin' the bird" photograph into sound, it would come out something like
Biram's more righteously angry material. In Biram's world where
country/blues/gospel meets punk, telling the world to fuck off comes as
naturally as warning someone off the Devil." Blurt

"Everything veers quickly towards the outside lane and stays there. Biram likes
the rough stuff, his vocals all scruffed up and sounding like he's been on a
week-long jag through the back alleys and barrooms. His songs focus in on
fighters, survivors, losers and those who just will not give up...and be assured
he's playing for keeps. And has the guts to back it up." Sonic Boomers.

For more than two decades as a solo artist and Grammy-winning producer, Joe Henry has worked with some of the most celebrated names in music, including Ornette Coleman, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, T-Bone Burnett, Don Byron, Solomon Burke, Brad Mehldau, Madonna, and Ani DiFranco.

On Blood from Stars, his remarkable and sprawling new album, Henry has the unprecedented pleasure of introducing the world to a new talent, a young saxophonist by the name of Levon Henry. "I was tempted to put him on my last record, Civilians (2007)," Henry explains of his seventeen-year-old son. "He wasn't quite ready for that –and neither was I. But in the last two years, he's found a voice and begun to speak in wildly expansive and complete sentences. It wasn't a matter of me thinking it would be cute to put him on a record. He was just the musician I most wanted to hear in that chair."

It doesn't take long to understand why. An award-winning player in his own right – he's won two soloist awards at the Monterey Jazz Festival's "Next Generation" competitions – Levon lends his velvety tone and lyrical phrasing to songs such as "Truce," and the instrumental "Over Her Shoulder," which his father wrote as a vehicle for him. Nowhere is his playing more incandescent than on "Stars." His soprano sax leaps and darts with a melodic agility and a terse beauty.

The album was recorded in Henry's own studio, which is located in the basement of the historic Garfield Home in South Pasadena, where Henry and his family now live. (An historical landmark, it was built in 1904 for the President's widow.) This made Levon's contributions that much easier. "Sometimes we had to do overdubs with him as opposed to recording him live, because he was at school," Henry recalls. "But then he'd come home, finish his homework, and come downstairs to join the festivities. It was lovely and strange, and yet it felt perfectly natural to direct him."

But like any Joe Henry record, Blood from Stars is a collaboration, in the deepest sense of the word. Henry has assembled a remarkable cast of players, from his longtime rhythm section (ace percussionist Jay Bellerose, bassist David Piltch, and keyboardist Patrick Warren), to newcomers like Keefus Ciancia, whose murmuring samples lend the proceedings a dreamy, fragmented and cinematic feel.

The sultry coronet riffs that drive "The Man I Keep Hid" and "Bellwether" come courtesy of guitarist Marc Ribot. "Not many people know Marc plays coronet," Henry observes, "and he doesn't do it a lot. He can do anything on guitar, of course, but it was sometimes much more to the point of my purposes that his deep musicality be articulated in a more primitive way. He brings a kind of raw, smeared-lipstick romanticism to whatever he does." Ribot's barbed electric guitar is also on display throughout, as are his flamenco sketches on the torch ballad "This Is My Favorite Cage."
And, of course, this being a Joe Henry production, there are all many unexpected turns in the road. He's recruited the brilliant young jazz pianist Jason Moran to deliver the piercing, hymn-like piano work of "Prelude: Light No Lamp When the Sun Comes Down," which opens the album like an overture. Likewise, when the time came to light a fire under the track "Death to the Storm," Joe called upon the Chocolate Genius himself, vocalist Marc Anthony Thompson, whose soulful swagger turns the track's chorus into an ominous house party.

Critics have long since given up trying to label Henry's sound. His music spans far too many genres. But the dominant sound on this record stems from blues tonality. Tracks such as "Bellwether" and "All Blues Hail Mary" begin as traditional blues forms ("I observed that structure like it was sonnet"), only to swell into ravishing epics that jump the rails to incorporate folky jazz and bent Sinatra-esque washes of sampled strings. "All the blues sing of love and death and you," Henry whispers in the latter, "As chances yet to take."

The line is typical of his lyrical touch. "I've read that I'm supposed to be a very literary songwriter, someone whose songs are short stories set to music. But I can't imagine what where that comes from. I'm not linear…not remotely a reliable narrator," he says. "All I'm trying to do is put a light on something; and sometimes the clearest path is not a straight one."

So this is what you can expect from Joe Henry's eleventh studio LP -a tour de force- in addition to all the desperate beauty and hypnotic vamping, the lush arrangements and seductive songlines: the sudden and thrilling illumination of places you've never been, but are somehow intimately familiar.

Mayer Hawthorne grew up just outside of Detroit, and vividly remembers, as a child, driving with his father and tuning the car radio in to the rich soul and jazz history the region provided. “Most of the best music ever made came out of Detroit,” claims the singer, producer, and multiinstrumentalist, who counts Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, legendary songwriting and production trio of Dozier, Holland, and Holland Jr. The “retro” tag is added to almost any contemporary work that sounds like it was originally recorded between 1966 and 1974, and Hawthorne, among the newest contributors to the genre, is aware of how trends come and go. After being introduced to Stones Throw label head Peanut Butter Wolf, even the label boss was skeptical. “He showed me two songs and I didn’t understand what I was listening to,” Wolf recalls. “I asked him if they were old songs that he did re-edits of – I couldn’t believe they were new songs and that he played all the instruments.

When Dean Spunt from No Age says, of Silk Flowers, "they're probably the weirdest band I know," it's not hyperbole out to hype a record he's putting out on his own Post Present Medium label. Because Silk Flowers are a weird band.

It starts with Aviram Cohen's weird singing; an affected, self-parodying baritone moan that sounds like a stand-up comedian doing a mocking impersonation of Scott Walker. Drawing from the proto-electro dissonance of '70s pioneers Suicide or nasty early-'80s provocateurs Throbbing Gristle, the music matching Cohen's comic crooning is full of clunky, lumpen drum-machine thunk and eerie synthesizer sound.

Recorded by Fred Thomas —the longtime frontman of indie-pop outfit Saturday Looks Good to Me who, this year, reinvented himself as experimentalist with his City Center project— the album has a fuzzy, muffled, no-fidelity sound. In fact, it sounds a lot like Ariel Pink's warped, wobbly take on archaic analogue sound.

Since forming in New York last year, Silk Flowers have opened up shows for Animal Collective, Crystal Stilts, Blank Dogs, Grouper and High Places, and have toured with their label-bosses, No Age, themselves. Post Present Medium has just released Silk Flowers' debut, self-titled LP, and the band will be taking their weird music onto the road in support of such. Dates, and single "Flash of Light," below.

Sydney’s new wave of indie-pop serves up The Jezabels who have released their debut EP The Man is Dead. The cover features a floral hooded figure, reminiscent of Rene Magritte’s surrealist artwork. It represents the EP perfectly; the phrase ‘dead man walking’ comes to mind after listening to the lyrical content.

The Man is Dead starts off strongly with Disco Biscuit Love, which is definitely their most sophisticated track on the EP. The songs are quintessential tracks for late teens 20-something year olds song about drugs, men, women and the art of self destruction. Catchy and rhythmic, social commentary is disguised amongst the layers of sound that meld together flawlessly. Vocalist Hayley takes you along the musical and emotional peaks and valleys of the songs as the band create tiers of beautiful musical dissonance.

This record shows that this classically trained quartet, based in creative hub that is Newtown, are more capable than just making mindless dance music. Much like Magritte, their work is much more thought provoking than meets the eye (or ears). A world where a pipe is not a pipe and a pop song is not just a pop song. It will be interesting to see how their EP tracks translate to their live shows. It is a challenge for many bands to captivate an audience both live and on tape.

Overall, their debut EP is an audible delight filled with an atmospheric blend of indie disco pop that cements The Jezabels into this category, for now.

UK’s runk’n’roller, sexy Mams Taylor hooks up with Snoop Dogg (his love for girl-on-girl action goes without saying) and Bobby Valentino killin’ the hook for “Girl Gotta Girlfriend,” which will be apart of Taylor’s debt album, Persona Non Grata out 8.25.09.

Taylor’s runked-out debut will offer body-moving tracks featuring T-Pain, Robbie Williams and Dave Navaro. Taylor explains that his genre-bending sound “runk” as the “bastard offspring of rap, rock and punk” – and I think this will fit very well into the Pop/Hip Hop-Metro Mixing Top 40 scene in the States.

There’s nothing to overanalysize about this, the song is about a boy who has a girlfriend who digs girls (part-time or full-time doesn’t matter) and he hopes it leads to more. In the Katy Perry era of open-musical-sexuality experimentation (and just like people who are pissed at Perry for writing about “I Kissed A Girl,” not everyone is going to like it), but I think it’s going to be a exploding hit, especially if remixed for the clubs.

The evolution of man is the cause to our increasing understanding of life's mysteries, and thus, an album as such can only compliment the natural progression of a human who seeks progression in the human shell. 'CROSSOVER FUSION' is the new genre of music that reveals an advancement in sound, through jazz, pop, rock, soul, classical, and blues, these flavors compliment the making of such a massive undertaking known as 'THE SOUND: VOL.3."

In the spirit of the previous works (VOL.1 and 2), this album represents the original musical concepts of William Kurk, which are comparable to many legendary artists, but essentially so different, that it stands alone from anything that has ever been done collectively. 'THE SOUND: VOL.3' is a unique project, that features some of the best talent from Chicago, and the United States. Such artists are featured in this featured soundtrack: Bob Mintzer (yellowjackets), Will Kennedy, Benny Reid, Corey Wilkes, Buddy Fambro, Marqueal Jordan, Khari Parker, Tim Seisser, Myron Cherry, Norman Palm, Matt Cashdollar, Marquis Hill, Liza Micelli, Deshaun Sims, and Contessa Rodriguez.

The album is written, produced, and arranged by William Kurk, and co-produced by Anthony Nicholson, who helped oversee the vision of what this universe represents aesthetically in sound. The timbre of this project ranges from the mysterious travels of the earth, to the bright edges of the sun. Sometimes described by listeners as 'pop-jazz', 'cerebral pop', or 'theater jazz', the music has a superior quality of precision that cannot be overlooked; each lyric and note played has intent, and therefore, embodies the purpose of William Kurk's vision to fulfill the planet with music that is colorful, yet focused.

Words cannot describe the depth of this music, so it is best to sample the works individually and conclude your own musical interpretation. 'THE SOUND: VOL.3' is simply that: SOUND, and the agreement of sonic waves is purely based on one's imagination and understanding of life, as well as art. 'CROSSOVER FUSION' is this genre, and although the links to other standing genres is heavy, the design of this vehicle requires a unique road for travel, resulting in a new path to the future of music.

The legendary Flatlanders -- Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock -- three of Texas most respected singer/songwriters, return with their new album Hills And Valleys. The three friends pooled their diverse, yet complimentary songwriting talents and co-wrote eight of the 13 tracks on the record, their first in 5 years, and only 4th studio album in 30 years. Hills And Valleys was produced by
Grammy Award winning producer Lloyd Maines (Dixie Chicks Home), who also appears on the album playing acoustic guitar, Dobro, pedal, steel and more.

The Flatlanders, known for their poetic lyrics and superior musicianship, do not disappoint on Hills And Valleys. The record kicks off with Homeland Refugee which Texas Music declares ...isn t just the best song ever recorded under the Flatlanders name; it could be the best song any of them have ever had a hand in writing, period a Woody Guthrie-worthy, state-of-the-nation elegy for the American Dream. Additional stand out tracks include After The Storm, Just About Time and Thank God For The Road.
