Remi Nicole is a talented young artist from the UK who’s second album ‘Cupid Shoot Me’ is a brilliant vision of 50s doo wop and 60s girl group, re-imagined by North London’s sharpest young singer songwriter. Evoking the sounds of the Shirelles, the Supremes and Carol King’s teenage songwriting tenure at the Brill Building, this is both a celebration of a classic, often overlooked era of vintage pure pop songwriting and a modern channeling of a classic sound back through a lo-fi, high concept album of Saturday night drive-in pop.

“Most people who have heard the album think it’s a really fun and uplifting album when really it’s quite dark,” says Remi. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, musician, singer and songwriter who plays the guitars, keyboards and drum parts on the album, Remi is so proud of ‘Cupid Shoot Me’ that she now considers it her first album proper, after the tentative, underrated start that was her 2007 debut set, ‘My Conscience & I’. “I feel like that was an album of demos,” she says. “This is my real debut. I didn’t know myself when I was 23. It was a challenging time. Now I feel like I know who I am and I know what I want, and that’s making the whole process of being a musician, and everything it involves, a lot easier.””

The album comprises 11 songs, all delivering a varsity-jacketed girl-gang, diner-hanging, ‘will you still love me tomorrow’ mix of bubblegum and heartbreak, singalong melody and pain that re-routes the prom-night mores of Mad Men-era middle America for 21st century Britain.

Daisy is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Brand New, scheduled to be released through Interscope Records on September 22, 2009.

In June 2009, UK music magazine Rock Sound claimed on their website that they had received a copy of the upcoming album, though it was, according to an image later posted by the editor, "incomplete." The site published a "tentative" track listing and reported the incomplete version that they had received to be roughly 30 minutes long.

In an interview with Kerrang!, Jesse Lacey commented on the upcoming album's content: "It's a pretty exhausting record. It's quite dense and I think some of the decisions we made don't always go in the most obvious direction. We were thinking a lot more about what we'd want to play when we were up onstage rather than actually what you'd want to hear on a record."

The first single, "At the Bottom," was released digitally on August 11, 2009. Spin magazine's website announced the track listing and displayed the album art for Daisy in August 2009.

Volcano Choir is an assembly of Wisconsinites Jon Mueller, Chris Rosenau, Jim Schoenecker, Daniel Spack, Justin Vernon, and Thomas Wincek. You might find these old friends also frequenting records and stages under different monikers, Collections of Colonies of Bees and Bon Iver. The collaboration predates the meteoric rise of Justin Vernon's Bon Iver project, with original songwriting dating back to the summer of 2005, right around the time the Bees first toured with Vernon's previous band DeYarmond Edison.

While entirely a studio record, the collection doesn't suffer from the overburdens of a digital pile up or over-thinking. Rather it breathes and convulses in equal measure, radiating an inherent dynamism found only in the voluntary bondage of intimacy. With influences ranging from David Sylvian and Steve Reich to Mahalia Jackson and Tom Waits, it might be more accurate to say the group's influence is music itself. You can hear it in the care and real love generously applied to each moment of Unmap. With the vibe of some intimate backwoods gospel, plus a spirit of patience and thoughtful repetition, the music of Volcano Choir is as dynamic as it is lovely.

Unmap ultimately came together over a weekend in November 2008 in Fall Creek, Wisconsin, at Justin and Nate Vernon's recording studio. And while it is at its heart a record about the allure of being with people you need and making something with them, it is also a document created by musicians with rare gifts getting together to exorcise their ideas about beauty. This scaffolding of loops and off grid tempos for choral style vocals offers a state of continual surprise, call it unexpectation.

Unmap marks the debut full-length from Volcano Choir, the collaboration between Collections of Colonies of Bees and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver.

The title of New Found Land’s debut album, ‘We All Die’ hints at the melancholy contained within but this is by no means a miserable record. The songs are wistfully sad but beautifully presented and almost instantly familiar.

There’s a strong folky feel to the album but nowhere does the influence take over and even on ‘Come To Me’, complete with hand claps and banjo, there isn’t a hint of hey-nonny-nonny to be found. In fact, there’s even the odd bit of well placed jazz in there with the haunting vibes on the opening track ‘It Would Mean The World To Me’ and the saxophone with ends the album on ‘Life’s In Your Site’, a song which trails out sounding like something off Nick Drake’s ‘Bryter Layter’, and that’s not a comparison it’s often possible to make.

As a collection of pretty songs about longing and doomed love affairs, ‘We All Die’ is a beautifully understated record. You really should own it.

A mix of queer politics; explicit sexuality, symphonic indie pop; and theatrical spectacle that borders on the religious, Toronto's the Hidden Cameras are the brainchild of singer/songwriter/guitarist Joel Gibb. The 2001 debut album Ecce Homo a collection of four-track demos released on Gibb's own Evil Evil imprint introduced a stripped-down version of the Hidden Cameras' witty, acoustic-based songwriting, which drew comparisons to the Magnetic Fields and Belle & Sebastian. Ecce Homo also caught the ear of Rough Trade, whose signing of Gibb made the Hidden Cameras the first Canadian artist on the label in its 25-year history. Meanwhile, the group's elaborate live performances, which include up to 30 go-go dancers, strippers, and musicians, as well as videos, projected lyrics, and heavy audience participation, won the group a widespread and devoted following in Canada.

The Hidden Cameras never fail to capture the imagination. Orchestrated by leader Joel Gibb, their live spectacles are unconventional to say the least – everything from blindfolded band members and string players to go-go dancers shimmying alongside gospel choirs. The Hidden Cameras’ latest work, Origin: Orphan, is equally ingenious as the four previous albums.

"No matter the subject, Gibb knows the power and importance of melodies and harmonies in a pop song and has displayed it with elegant indie pop orchestrations and abundant twee-choir harmonies."

Sunshower can be rare occurrence, but when these opposing forces meet, magic and allure is in the air. This is exactly why the NYC-based rockers, Jupiter One, chose the title (inspired by the Japanese short film Dreams by Akira Kurosawa) for their upcoming Ryko album. Their far-out freshness mixed with timeless musical inspirations mesh together in a bittersweet indie-pop rock concoction produced by the group and noted engineer Chris Ribando (The Black Crowes, Priestbird, Mary J. Blige).

Jupiter One has a knack for unifying their contemporary style with a range of musical influences. For instance, the dancefloor-friendly Simple Stones, filled with handclaps and soulful riffs, boasts a bass line for the all ages while blending 80s Rolling Stones and MGMT. The epic opener Volcano resurrects the youthful spirit of the Beach Boys with The Flaming Lips, while delivering one of the disc s best choruses. Singer K Ishibashi conjures The Shins on Find Me a Place, and he drops vintage, finger-picking folk on People in the Mountain... . The single Flaming Arrow, a shimmering acoustic folk tune shot through with a bumping bass line and a groove, borders on bossa nova. This genre-bending approach creates a hook-heavy opus well suited for our A.D.D. times.

Beautiful Small Machines may be synthetic, but they’re not stupid. Caught somewhere between the 70’s, 80’s and deep space, this electro-pop duo (Bree Sharp, Don DiLego) learned about comedy from adult swim and heartache from Philip K. Dick and they’re spewing it all back out at you like a bunch of mandroids on whiskey and psycho-pharmaceuticals. Fun, Sad, Creepy and Clever – Beautiful Small Machines is the retro-future.

I have a tendency to like cute songs. I’m not going to lie and try to hide it. When I hear Of Montreal come on the radio singing ‘Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games’, a small part of my little typically predictable college girl heart goes fwap fwap. So of course it makes sense that when I heard the Beautiful Small Machines, I would immediately fell in love with their brand of lo-fi art pop. But as the wonderful people over at Battery In Your Leg eloquently put it, “cute” does not always equate to “worthless”. Their Robots In Love EP is the collaborative effort of singer-songwriter Bree Sharp and Don Dilego (Sharp on vocals and Don DiLego on production duty). During ‘Superconducter’ Sharp’s vocals sound, at times, intriguingly Le Tigre-ish. Yet at the same time, their track ‘Robots In Love’ takes an entirely different approach, sounding much more akin to a b-side from The Postal Service. That being said, below are two of my favorite song samples from their EP.

Following the release of Lisa Germano's last album for Young God Records, In the Maybe World, and a good deal of subsequent touring, she hid herself away for a long while, and I was beginning to despair--then suddenly this beautiful music started coming my way. I think this is one of her best albums yet.

Snow is a jewel, ripe with her typical naked emotion--a gentle elegy, exuding warmth and healing. The depth of feeling in her words and singing on this album is truly remarkable, and she never fails to tug at my heart. Somehow it's sad, wistful, and hopeful, all at once. It's very private, solitary music. It's deeply engaging, and when I listen to it I often stop what I'm doing and drift off with it into its world. Time and troubles disappear for a short while.

For some reason, her music reminds me of early Disney songs--fuzzy and dreamy. Thinking about it today, I also thought of the great--and neglected--music that Tom Waits did with Crystal Gayle for the movie One from the Heart.

In any event, she's resolutely in her own space, and within that space she sculpts songs and miniature, delicate sonic environments like no one else. To sit down and spend some time inside her songs is a tremendously rewarding experience, and I hope you'll partake.

Combining the visionary imaginations of two premier fantasists, dirctor Henry Selick ("The Nightmare Before Christmas") and author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), "Coraline" the movie is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful, adventure that honors and redefines two moviemaking traditions. Based on the best-selling book "Coraline" the movie is a stop-motion animated feature, and - as the first one to be conceived and photographed in stereoscopic 3-D, is unlike anything moviegoers have ever experienced before. The Soundtrack, produced by award-winning french composer Bruno Coulais, sets the perfect tone for the suspenseful and wonderful world created in the film, and features a new original song by They Might Be Giants.

The Chronic is the debut solo studio album of hip hop producer and rapper Dr. Dre, released December 15, 1992 on his former own label, Death Row Records, and distributed by Priority Records. Recording sessions for the album took place in June 1992 at Death Row Studios in Los Angeles, California and at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, California. The album was named after a slang term for high-grade marijuana. The album cover is a homage to Zig-Zag rolling papers.[12] The Chronic was recorded by Dr. Dre following his departure from N.W.A and Ruthless Records over a financial dispute, and consequently featured both subtle and direct insults at Ruthless and its owner, former N.W.A group member, Eazy-E.

Produced by Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem) and featuring horn arrangements by legendary Memphis session player Jim Spake (Al Green, John Hiatt, Solomon Burke, Cat Power), the record marks a decided turn toward the Memphis soul sound that has long informed the band's records from afar. 1372 Overton Park follows the band's 2006 release, Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers, hailed by Pitchfork as "the best showcase for the band's taut dynamic yet."

The new album's name comes from the address of the Memphis loft in which all four band members lived, practiced and even recorded portions of their 2003 release That Much Further West (the history of the space itself is even more colorful—in the `70s, 1372 Overton Park was a karate dojo where local resident Elvis Presley, among others, took lessons). Over recent years band members have gradually moved out leaving lead singer and guitarist Ben Nichols the sole resident of the space until word finally came down that the building would be sold and demolished. Almost as if marking the end of an era not only for the building but for the band as well, this record turns the page and signals a strong move toward the Memphis soul sound that has long served as an influence for the group. Nichols explains, "When [saxophonist] Jim Spake put that first horn track down, we began thinking of the record as having a certain sound. We heard pieces of Memphis history being played over our songs and it floored us and we just went with it."

While 1372 Overton Park serves as a love letter to Memphis and its musical heritage, the band has far from abandoned the country/rock/punk influences that they've become known for over their previous five records and countless tour dates in front of rabid fans. "I think the fact that we don't claim a genre is very important to what Lucero is," according to Nichols. "There are too many rules in punk rock. Too many rules in country music. We're hard headed and…god damn if we don't do things the way we want to do them."

The incredible new album from Hot Water Music vocalist Chuck Ragan. A lot

still is awesome. Only Chuck could turn the hardcore kids onto mandolin.

Clorinde are a relatively new project made up of brothers Simone and Andrea Salvatici. It is obvious from the outset of ‘The Creative Listener’ that Clorinde are very serious about the music they make. ‘Anno Domini’ is like some traditional English baroque style jam. It’s quite upbeat by comparison to some of the other compositions contained within but it pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the record. Part ancient classical guitar music, part minimalist electronic composition ‘The Creative Listener’ certainly has a fare amount on offer. I can hear all sorts of variation on the acoustic guitars as well as glockenspiels, accordions, marimbas as well as my personal favourite, the Kalimba, a wondrous little thumb piano that can be heard most effectively on Celine (check the sound clips kids). On first listen I’m really enjoying this but I also get the impression it’s a grower with more intricacies to be discovered with repeat listens. If you enjoy the minimalist composition of Steve Reich and the like you’ll certainly find something to enjoy here.

“The debut album “the Creative Listener” released by Etruscan Records is an inspired and intricate work where beautiful acoustic and electric sounds float free and magically find a conjunction in shapes and forms.

Always in balance between chaotic implosions and explosive melodies, is reminiscent of some of the renaissance music and minimalism and it drags the listener into a creative imaginative process.” – Etruscan Records

“The album took more than a year to see the light, a year of constant efforts and struggles, magic moments and beautiful discoveries that led us to fulfil our vision, through creative listening we made this possible.”

You feel the frustration and the beauty that encapsulates a year’s worth of work, the magic of fantasy and the melancholy of reality. It’s instrumental folklore that evokes a gritty and sensational voyage. The result as a listener is exalting and pure. The challenge of being “The Creative Listener” is the seduction, you delve further into their universe and immerse yourself in the highs and lows of this two man orchestra; a bond that is something akin to soul searching, a journey we all need from time to time.

With a sound all their own and a front man with the voice to
carry it, Joan Red is re-defining modern rock... and the new
definition rolls like this:

rock- (noun)- pronounced (rok) - JOAN RED; Powerful choruses
and catchy hooks driven by thunderous guitars and driving
beats. It's music that takes you to another place. A place
where fans push to the front of the stage decked out in black
and red to pledge loyalty to a band that most have never
heard of. A place where fists pump in the air and the crowds
know the words to every song. This isn't just a band. This
isn't just a gig. Welcome to a place where every show is an
unforgettable "rock experience". Welcome to JOAN RED

Formed in late 2006, the band wrote and recorded it's first
EP "Spread The Red" at Paul Ebersold's 747 studios in 2007
and began playing local venues and building a buzz. In
September 2008, they completed their first, full length album
and achieved notable regional success as well as radio
airplay in markets from Missouri to Mississippi. With 40,000
Myspace friends and over a million plays, Joan Red is
currently one of the most sought after live acts in the
Memphis area and boasts an impressive touring schedule with
performances booked through March '09

Genres colliding, Joan Red has manipulated modern
songwriting in the Rock/Alternative/Power Rock formats to
feed their 'rock hungry' audience with limitless hooks and
choruses. Often described as "Disturbed" meets "The Killers"
they have shared the stage with national touring acts that
include 3 Days Grace, Seether, One Less Reason, Taproot
Egypt Central, Saving Abel, Staind and Trust Co

With their single "You Be The Hero" already impacting radio
their full length album set for release in Spring 2009, and
a non-stop touring schedule covering the Eastern half of the
U.S, Joan Red is undeniably ready to take on the masses.

Chivalry may be dead, but it would seem the age of The Gentlemen is just beginning.
And A Candid History of Faith, Hope and Love is the perfect introduction. Their combination
of memorable hooks, driving rhythms and incredible musicianship guide you on a musical
journey to the centre of the human psyche.

But don't be put off by the title. Whilst the chosen subject matter may stray into
Mariah territory, this is indie rock at its best and there isn't a ballad in sight. So
to quote frontman Nicholas Noble: "It's time to go for a ride."

Direct and to the point, 'Push Back' is immediately attention grabbing.
The rumbling bassline calls to mind a car engine with the fast drum beat adding
the impression of speed. On top of all this, Noble's lyrics describe the perfect journey
with friends and tantalisingly invite you along for the ride.

'Sending Cards' is the first single from the album and for obvious reasons. Instantly
memorable, the catchy chorus begs to be performed in front of thousands on a festival
stage. Fast-paced and rhythmical, drummer Joel Cana drives the track forward, while
backing vocals from his brother Josh and guitarist Sean Walsh add another dimension
to Noble's lead vocals.

With influences ranging from Rage against the Machine to J.S. Bach, The Gentlemen are
never without a trick up their sleeve. The closest thing to a ballad, 'For Better Or For Worse,'
adds a touch of strings to bulk out the band's standard four-piece setup with incredible effect.

It's rare to find a band who sound as convincing playing acoustically as performing at full volume.
It's even rarer to find one comfortable enough to include an acoustic track on an album. But in this
case it would have been a travesty not to. Completely devoid of any enhancement 'Come And Make
Me Feel Right' brings out the best of The Gentlemen's sound. A Capella Noble's voice sounds intimate
and inviting, proving once and for all the versatility of his voice.

The Gentlemen have already garnered a sizeable following in their native North East. But if the
musicianship demonstrated on A Candid History of Faith, Hope and Love is at all indicative of their
live performance it's easy to see why. This truly is indie rock at its best.

Norwegian rock duo Kings Of Convenience will break a five-year silence this fall with its third studio album, "Declaration of Dependence," due Oct. 20 from Virgin. The 13-track set is led by the single "Mrs. Cold," which has been making the rounds on blogs in the past week.

"Declaration of Dependence" is the follow-up to KOC's 2004 album "Riot on an Empty Street," which has sold a career-best 78,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Recorded in Bergen, Norway, and Italy, the new album is more stripped-down than either of its predecessors, with a host of the tracks consisting of nothing more than voice and acoustic guitar.

"Declaration of Dependence" begins with the hushed voices and plaintive guitar plucking of Eirik Glambek Boe and Erlend Oye on "24-25," a wistful look back at "dreams burned."

"Mrs. Cold" is one of the more up-tempo track on the album, its toe-tapping rhythm accented by strings and upright bass. The same instrumentation can be found on "Boat Behind," a jaunty tale of a rekindled relationship.

Other highlights include the burnished, Simon & Garfunkel-ish folk of "My Ship Isn't Pretty" and "Power of Not Knowing," which showcases the duo's finger-picking prowess. Elsewhere, the pair utilizes an uncommon falsetto for the harmony vocals on "Freedom and Its Owner" and "Me in You."

Kings Of Convenience's members have spent the past several years working on side projects; Oye with the Whitest Boy Alive and Boe with Kommode, which features members of his pre-Kings Of Convenience band Skog.

Tour plans have yet to be solidified, but the group is not expected to hit the road in North America until 2010.

A lot can happen in one year. Since the members of Columbus band Wing & Tusk formed last May they’ve weathered the ups and downs of songwriting, performing, recording, filmmaking, and not wanting to kill each other.
“We all feel pretty lucky to have come as far as we have in a single year,” said Josh Rea, the band’s singer and guitarist. “It has been intensely interesting and stressful as all hell.”
The band, which includes Daniel Bennett on bass, Roseanne Claiborne on keys and vocals, Nat Hagey on guitar, Chris Manis on drums, and Sally Polk on violin, attributes part of their anxiety to being a close group of friends who had to get reacquainted as artists. “We’re working through the rough parts and still hang out with each other on a very frequent basis,” Josh said.

The band’s name symbolizes having equal parts of freedom (wing) and discipline (tusk) when approaching artistic endeavors.

Wing & Tusk will release its first album, “The Secret of Toadflax Tea,” later this summer. It’s a narrative folk soundtrack with a beginning, middle, and end designed to mimic the experience of watching a movie. Recorded at Ante Up Audio in Cleveland, Oranjudio on Summit Street, and in sound engineer Aaron Nierman’s attic, “The Secret of Toadflax Tea” follows the lives of two monks and a doctor on a European island during the Black Plague. It exposes the good and not-so-good traits of society, humanity, and the church, and in many ways relates to the state of the world today. “If you think of these characters as archetypes, you can see our story in theirs,” Josh said.

The band is creating an animated silent film to complement the album that will play on a backdrop during live performances. The movie will have the same run time as the album and will visually bring the story to life. Josh, who studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy, began planning the film with Nat before they composed a single note of music or wrote a single lyric for the record.

Wing & Tusk experimented with several sounds and techniques when recording “The Secret of Toadflax Tea.” They tinkered with noises from Chris’ iPhone, ran vocal tracks through guitar amps, and used electromagnets on piano strings. They’re still deciding what will make the final cut on the record.

01. The Visitor 38:03

It’s been eight years in the making but this indie legend makes his long-awaited return with a sublime solo effort in the form of The Visitor. All-instrumental and played solely by his own masterful hand, the record is a series of musical interludes driven by picked and plucked acoustic guitars, organs, pianos, shakers, wind and strings. It’s a pretty subdued affair throughout but displays the expertise and awe-inspiring musicianship we have come to expect from the revered collaborator and producer. Tipped as the sequel to 1997’s Bad Timing, it is a must for fans and anyone interested in the more avant-garde side of indie.

It came as something of a surprise the other day to discover that it’s been something like eight years since Jim O’Rourke released a new solo album. In the interim, he’s not been entirely quiet, as involvement with Sonic Youth and the Loose Fur project with Jeff Tweedy and Glenn Kotche, as well as sundry other lower-profile activities prove.

Around the time he left Sonic Youth, however, a story began to circulate that O’Rourke had moved to Japan and retired from music-making. As it turns out, only the first part of the rumour was true, as this excellent interview points out;http://ronsen.org/monkminkpinkpunk/15/orourke.html perhaps, after so much intensive work over the preceding decade or so, he just needed a break.

“The Visitor” is his wonderful, though perhaps predictably eccentric, return to action. Unlike the tightly formed rock songs of “Insignificance”, “The Visitor” consists of one unravelling 38-minute instrumental piece, harking back to the textures of 1997’s “Bad Timing”, or perhaps a vast cousin to “Ghost Ship In A Storm” from “Eureka”.

It begins much in the style of “Bad Timing”, with a John Fahey-ish guitar figure; later, elements of the piece are as reminiscent of late-period Fahey (“Red Cross”, notably) as the more canonical earlier work. Soon, though, the music opens up and surges forward, as O’Rourke keeps trying out different combinations of instruments, as if trying to find a harmonious way of synthesising at least some of his massively eclectic musical interests.

At times, then, it recalls a kind of folk symphony, a heavenly realisation of modern composition rescored for Laurel Canyon habitués. Picking out a bunch of possible reference points, I’m reminded of ‘70s Grateful Dead (“Weather Report Suite”, perhaps), Van Dyke Parks’ “Song Cycle” (a big O’Rourke favourite, I seem to remember), the Takoma pianist George Winston.

Often, when the simple theme starts to gather momentum, O’Rourke pulls away from the meticulous arrangements and introduces a kind of loose punctuation, where the music is pensive and hesitant; hovering somewhere between minimalist composition and improv. It’s a measure of O’Rourke’s multi-disciplinary skills and sleight-of-hand that it’s tricky to tell how, exactly, “The Visitor” has been constructed: as a studio collage of part-arranged, part-improvised fragments; as a formal whole; or, as I suspect, some intangible hybrid of both .

Whatever, it’s full of beautiful and engrossing music, and doubtless plenty of musical jokes and references that I’m not learned enough to spot - though I should say that O’Rourke’s expansive gifts of melody, arrangement and production make this a warm and rewarding listen even if you’ve only a fraction of his musical knowledge. Favourite bits this morning: a brief flutter of prog rock guitar, which sharply fades away to reveal a banjo moving artfully in its tracks; and a lush passage about 12 minutes in where the piano and Hammond combine in a way that wouldn’t shame Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson. A lot to take in here, though.

To start, the record is primarily being released on vinyl-- first run records will be light blue with some special "white/blue haze" LPs thrown in just in case you didn't get the idea that this shit is fucking hazy.

If you're still into CDs, you'll have to travel to London's Rough Trade shop to pick up Seek Magic because that's the only place on earth selling it on compact disc. UPDATE: The Rough Trade version is out this coming Monday, August 24, and it comes with a bonus disc featuring a 30-minute instrumental.

A.A. Bondy's sophomore album, When The Devil's Loose, will be released September 1, 2009 on Fat Possum. This is the second offering of neo-folk tunes from the former Verbena frontman. After an excellent showing at Sasquatch this year Bondy is set to take on the open road with a string of dates. Be sure to catch him when he comes through a city near you.

Just evoking the images of traditional Americana wasn't enough for former Verbena front man A.A. (Scott) Bondy on his newest record. He had to dream them. Somewhere in his head a slightly bleak, sleepy world of American imagery, dark images made their way onto When The Devil's Loose, with painfully beautiful ballads and acoustic tunes.

The problem is, the entire disc blends together as one long, saddening howl. It's sure to put you in a reflective state. When The Devil's Loose isn't the album you play in the car with your friends. It's what you play when you're taking a long ride, alone on a nearly empty highway.

Bondy's music is something like Ryan Adams meets Sufjan Stevens. Calming acoustic melodies find western influences and are completed with a gritty-yet-pleasant voice.

The title track stands out from the rest with simple storytelling and life lessons bleeding from the lyrics. "The Coal Hits The Fire" ends the album on a dark note with a marching anthem that sounds like it could have been recorded in a cave.

Overall, Bondy's pain accomplishes something spectacular on When The Devil's Loose, but we'd like to see him expand his happy horizons.

Loudon Wainwright III, together with producer Dick Connette, has created one of the most ambitious projects of his career with the 2 CD set High Wide & Handsome - a grand gathering of songs, both old and original, revisiting the life, times and recorded legacy of legendary singer and banjo picker Charlie Poole (1892-1931). The music ranges from old-timey to dixieland, from parlor songs to acapella gospel, a compendium of the strains that have created and continue to create American popular music. Greil Marcus wrote in his notes for the project, "Poole might have been waiting all these years for someone to talk back to him so completely in his own language; Wainwright might have been waiting since he first heard Charlie Poole to get up the nerve to do it." Guests on the album include Martha Wainwright, Rufus Wainwright, Sloan Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche, the Roches, and Chris Thile.

Mike Onesko and the Blindside Blues Band's excellent "Tribute to the Blues" featuring 10 ass-kickin' tracks (65 minutes) of smokin', killer, down-home, raw, bluesy heavy guitar jams done up BBB-style that will rock your damn blues away. "Smokehouse Sessions" is a solid mix of way-kool "covers" & "originals" that hit hard and deliver the "Blues" message. Most of the tracks/jams are recorded live in the studio to keep it REAL. Highly recommended to fans of bad-ass, killer hard rockin' blues guitar riffage. Wave your blues guitar freak flag high with BBB on the low-down and dirty "Smokehouse Sessions" disc.

“Bye Bye Bicycle” is such a cute little name. Too cool to fail and unwrap a band not able to compete with it. Gothenburg vs. Tossene, the band is once again a little gift from the Swedish Indie Pop Scene. Happy disco drumz and guitarz in a pure retro-c86 style, songs like “Footsteps” and “Westside” (I’m gonna send a little post card from the coast / I hope you’ll read the little message that I wrote / a friend of sister’s friend it’s notghin more now”) from the ep “Westside” (Cloudberry 62) are the perfect soundtrack for a summer journey toward the holiday of your life, with Giovanni Leckman and Pietro Doherthy doing the choids on the backyard of your daddy’s car.

The band was born in 2002 on the swedish westcoast, but eversince they found it quite boring and too little inspring, they decided to move on Gothenburg in 2007 they used to hang on a great bicycle robbery. (At least… that’s what the other bands say) soon joined on stage by Nicklas Wennergren from “Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck”.

The fundamental parts of Bye Bye Bicycle meet as early as 2002, this was at the swedish westcoas… At first their music came to be about trivial things and didn’t really matter so much, but pretty soon all that changed. And so they decided Bye Bye Bicycle was for life! Groing up at Swedish westcoast countyside wasn’t the most inspiring , at least not if one’s ambition was to make music. Thats why Bye Bye Bicycle move to Gothenburg in 2007. The thought about the band name “Bye Bye Bicycle” is not sertent but some of the band says it’s from a great bicycle robbery, some says it’s because of the detest of stupid “the” bands. The band has never changed members, this is the impact of the band, their strength in a way. Becasue Bye Bye Bicycle has always been a strictly “members only” when it has been about the making of the music. No one get’s into the band. However since they found themself abit short of hands during live gigs they let in the good friend Nicklas Wennergren From the band “Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck”, as a piano and percussion stand in. Otherwise everything is just as normal in the world of Bye Bye Bicycle, the ambitions is as always skyhigh, and the members has always been waiting for perfect songs before making their debut album! So their own expectations about upcoming debut album “compass” are high by nature. In summer 2008 Bye Bye Bicycle’s debut “compass” are sailing out of Gothenburg port. Time will tell where it all goes, but one thing is for certain, this one is not a sinking ship!

Adam Kult was born in 2004 from the ashes of the electro-band "Revelation Machine".

Initially just called ADAM, the band's self-produced EP "G.od's beautiful mistake," soon garnered attention from labels as the EP, along with their rough demo, started to invade European, Canadian and American dancefloors.

Jeez, singer and mastermind of the project, met Christian Pohl in 2006. Pohl is the frontman of the German band Blutengel and owner of Fearsection, a Berlin based label which is a satellite of the biggest Electro/Industrial/EBM German label, Out Of Line.
Mr.Phol was impressed by the presentation and commitment of the Italian singer and signed him on the spot to his label.

In February of 2007, the self titled full length album "ADAM" was released. The band played many gigs that year around Europe including Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.

2007 turned out to be a fantastic year for the band. They also played Wave Gotik Treffen, the biggest German Goth/Electro festival and were featured in Orkus, Zillo, Sonic Seducer, Ritual, and Ascension magazines. ADAM was asked to make a rare repeat performance at Wave Gotik Treffen 2008, but the band had to decline, because they were not happy about their position in the lineup (because hell ya, they deserved better).

In the fall of that same year, ADAM was the official opening act for the German/Swiss Blutengel tour. The shows went so well that the album sold out, leaving the band the unfortunate situation of having to play a few shows with no cd's left to sell.

In the dead of Winter 2008, Jeez decided to change the band name from ADAM to ADAM KULT, due to problems with copyright, since another artist named "ADAM" was already signed with the german author socety GEMA, of which Jeez is now a member, under the pseudonym Adam Kult.

The idea for the new band name came from the first band website, www.churchofadam.com, since Jeez wanted to keep the esoteric and spiritual taste for the creature he created, he turned " The Church" into a "Cult".

With a new identity and new ideas, Jeez started to write the second album.
What seemed to be easy and smooth studio session, turned to be a personal nightmare for the singer.

Crushed by the weight of big expectations, fighting with a label unwilling to promote the band as it deserves, the thousands of ideas for the second release started to bite deep inside. This lead Jeez to a mental breakdown, certanly not helped by an unhealty use of hard drugs.

But this motherfucker is tough. This is obvious when it comes to his love for music and fitness, which come together for his biggest passion - kicking ass on stage.

Slowly this wretched creature was driven to redemption, giving birth to "HARSH IS DEAD" the second official, long awaited, full length album from Adam Kult.

As an original member and co-founder of crunk rap group Three 6 Mafia, Lord Infamous has been in the game for nearly 20 years. Dropping his fourth solo album and second this year, the brother of 3 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul, Lord Infamous keeps it super hood/gangster/ crunk and/or trill this album.

If you thought Lil’ Jon was the King of Crunk, then you need to get familiar with Lord Infamous, aka “Scarecrow”, because Jon becomes commercial crunk after you listen to the OG from Memphis.

The album, Blood Money, was recently released July 28 and let me be the first to validate Lord Infamous’ latest album as certified crunk. There are 16 tracks on the album and at least ten are tracks that will get you jacked up and ready to do what you do when you are done listening to a rap album (workout?).

The Junction, a Toronto-based three-piece (with suburban roots), released their second album . A great example of danceable Canadian indie pop-rock, Another Link In the Chain will appeal to indie kids as well as commercial radio stations programming for the broader music-listening audience.

This is a group clearly inspired by the rock they grew up with in the 90s and indie rock bands of the 2000s. By bringing these two influences together with a nod to classic Brit-pop, the Junction has crafted a strong rock album that should appeal to indie rock fans as well as audiences looking for something a little more accessible. Expect melodic guitar lines, heavy drumming, clear vocals, and so on. But just when you might think you’ve got the band’s sound pinned-down, screamo-vocals, handclaps, tambourine, and horns come in to shake things up. It all makes for a good outing with enough interest in to keep me from getting bored, but plenty of pop-rock hooks to keep the kids happy.

Fun is what happens when three extraordinarily talented musicians come together to create something altogether new and wonderful. Nate Ruess, late of The Format, has teamed up with ex-Anathallo multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost and Steel Train's Jack Antonoff, resulting in their ingenious debut, Aim And Ignite. The trio melds a stunning array of diverse inspirations - spanning Broadway to The Beach Boys, Nilsson Shmilsson to Pinkerton - into an irresistible collection of freewheeling Pop songcraft. Fun have crafted something special indeed, a contemporary rethinking of classic '70s pop, where ornate arrangements and inspired orchestrations meet present-day Rock 'n' Roll.

Limited two disc edition of the Norwegian singer/songwriter's 2009 compilation album includes a bonus live DVD containing 11 tracks filmed live at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. Multi award winning Thomas Dybdahl is one of the most talented singer-songwriters to emerge from the Norwegian music scene in recent years. Oft compared to Tim Buckley and Nick Drake, Dybdahl writes songs that move in for extreme close-ups: his acoustic guitar, his breathy voice, his vows of love: the tempos are glacial and the instruments few and pristine, so that every gesture is exposed. Anything less than total grace would turn precious and cloying, but Mr. Dybdahl maintains his poise; each song has the delicate suspense of a drawn breath. Apart from his solo releases,, Thomas was featured vocalist/co writer on three tracks from Morcheeba's 2008 album Dive Deep. The CD contains 16 tracks lifted from his previous studio releases.

The Wishing Tree is an acoustic music project by Marillion s guitarist
Steve Rothery and British vocalist Hannah Stobart

Rothery has played guitar in Marillion since 1984 who s music has often
been described as neo-prog, although it is broader than that, often
with a
somewhat wistful and spiritual edge. They don t really sound like
anyone else

Stobart has a lovely ethereal quality to her voice, which shows in the
whole recording, and features some delicate and ghostly harmonies, some
mandolin and understated guitars providing a backdrop to the vocals
Rothery excels himself, playing some fine acoustic guitar, and when
Rothery does let go with one of his trademark solos, he, as ever, makes
the instrument sing

Abandon is an American Christian rock band from San Antonio, Texas.The group of two brothers, two cousins, and friend Bryan Fowler, formed as in independent band in the 2002, The group's name was inspired by the Bible verse of Joshua 22:3, which reads "God has directed us not to abandon any brothers,They signed onto ForeFront Records in late 2007 and released the Abandon EP in July 2008. Their first single "Providence" was released to radios in August and has reached #7 on R&R's Christian rock charts.

Abandon is band on mission. Fresh faces in the modern rock world, Abandon has already set the stage for a great year in 2009 already having a #1 Rock radio hit, multiple tours across the country, international success and are just now gearing up for their full length debut, Searchlights. The music delivered on Searchlights reaches out with a rare blend of non-alienating spiritual commentary and artistic relevance. Produced by Chris Stevens (Sanctus Real, Shawn McDonald, Delirious?), the record conveys classic Bible truths in a fresh voice (Peter’s denial in “Providence”), fashions vulnerable prayers into memorable, soaring alternative pop songs (“Be Alive in Me”), and praises God while wearing the creative influences of The Beatles and Coldplay on “All Because of You.” The theme of danger and hope shines throughout the album. Radio single “Hold On” depicts a struggling teenage girl from a broken family. Hold on. Someone will find you. Look for the searchlights, Engler assures her with his controlled, contagious yelp.

Now comprising a 5-piece band based between London and the South of France, Get
Back Guinozzi! is the brainchild of two French friends, Eglantine Gouzy and Fred
Landini. Front-person Eglantine is someone FatCat have been talking with for a
while, having posted three of her solo tracks on our online demo MP3 archive way
back in 2004. having remained in regular contact, in Spring 2008 Eglantine (at
the time living alone deep in the jungle in India whilst recording a solo album)
mailed us a CDR of the band project she d been working on with Fred, which
immediately enchanted us

The roots of Get Back Guinozzi! lay in Fred s composing fifteen one-minute
tracks for a contemporary dance company, using a minimal set up of a guitar
rhythm box, and only one keyboard sound. These compositions yielded the melody
for the song L.A. Having already collaborated with her on some previous
tracks, he sent London-based Eglantine an early instrumental version of the song
to work on and loved what she did with it. Fred then sent her the music for Go
Back to School and the pair were so excited by the results that they decided to
form a band. More tracks were sent across the internet during Winter 2007, with
Eglantine adding vocals, some keyboards, percussion and weird electronics, until
a full album worth of material was formed. Following further meetings and
conversations, tracks were sharpened, more songs were recorded, and the album
was eventually re-mixed by Michael Beckett (alias Schneider TM s Kpt. Michigan)
and set for release on FatCat in October 2009. A five-piece band (drums, bass
guitar, keyboards, vox) was formed and played their debut shows in September
2008

The band s music is infectiously poppy, quirky and breezy, with a strong French
slant and a wide range of influences taking in the likes of Talking Heads, The
Feelies, The Smiths, New Order, early B-52 s, King Sunny Ad , Lee Perry, Rip Rig
& Panic, Ariel Pink, The Slits, The Cure, Robert Wyatt, The Residents, Animal
Collective, Jonathan Richman, and Serge Gainsbourg. Also heavily infused with
the exoticism of reggae, dub, African music, Tropicalia, and Cambodian music
from the 60s, the breadth of sources it draws on and Eglantine's skewed
narratives and heavily-inflected English give the project a distinctive
individuality

Fred describes Eglantine s lyrics as being replete with fantasy and a kind of
dark humor. It s Eglantine s view of the world. It s an attempt at Zouk or
tropical music with these lyrics that are a little bit spooky. Influenced by
singers like Ari Up (The Slits), Pygmies, Laurie Anderson, Serge Gainsbourg
Allison Staton (Young Marble Giants) and Donna Summer, Eglantine likes to
imagine my own little movies where I can be different characters. I can make
doubles of myself, I can transform myself - a real schizophrenic, sometimes
within the same track

Following some time out after the recent birth of Eglantine s first child, Get
Back Guinozzi! are set to undertake their first proper bout of live touring this
Autumn. The band s debut single ( Low Files Tropical ) will be released on
September 14th and followed a month later by the album, Carpet Madness.

"There were moments of dreams I was offered to save. I lived less like a
workhorse and more like a slave.'" When you first hear these lines, you can't
really understand why the feeling that sweeps over you is empowerment. You can't
really tell if this band is gonna help you fulfill those big plans of yours, or
help you throw them against the wall. It starts to feel like the Gospel music
that the non-believers have been looking for

As you begin to listen to the record, with the bittersweet 'That Western
Skyline' and the patient 'Love is All I Am' you start to realize that this band
isn't interested in the bells and whistles. The Los Angeles quartet, Taylor
Goldsmith (vocals, guitar), Griffin Goldsmith (drums, vocals), Wylie Gelber
(bass) and Tay Strathairn (piano, vocals) seem to get all their musicianship and
expression across through the inherent nature of the instruments. They seem to
have their utmost respect for the song itself, only stepping out when a song
calls for it, relying on the other to keep the holes filled and the ship sailing
smoothly, letting the music reflect their own personal relationships to the
listener. It doesn't just sound like four guys who are playing in a room
together, it finally is

Recorded, produced and mixed by Jonathan Wilson (guitarist with Jenny Lewis
Benji Hughes, Jonathan Rice and Elvis Costello) in his Laurel Canyon home
studio, Dawes was able to achieve the minimal, warm and live sounding record
that all bands talk about doing at one point or another and yet separate
themselves from anything you've ever heard. The record 'North Hills' could be
described as Leonard Cohen or Townes Van Zandt getting a hold of that soul band
we always wanted to hear them with

By the time you hear songs like the album's centerpiece "When My Time Comes" or
the hungry and hopeful closer "Peace in the Valley" you finally can say to
yourself that you have a sense of this band's world view, their convictions, who
they really are rather than how they chose to present themselves. In a way, you
feel spoken for. And yeah, you might hear a couple guitar flubs, some wonky
notes sung, a dropped drum stick, an overall raw and unpolished quality, but
that's what inspires your closeness with Dawes, that's what gives it its
humanity. Dawes probably best explains it themselves on '"When You Call My
Name:"

"So if you want to get to know me

Follow my smile down into its curves

All these lines are born in sorrows and pleasures

And every man ends up with the face that he deserves".

There is a sultry texture to Jody's beautiful vocals that maintain a languid quality. The title track, Under An Endless Sky, with its staccato-infused melody enjoys the soaring, beautiful vocals that Jody delivers effortlessly. Sunshine In Rain delivers the goods one expects from Balligomingo with their unique alt-rock sound and driving energy. The upbeat tune has a contagious beat with sweeping vocals. Rebecca's confident voice in Dream Believer showcases her extensive range and emotive quality. She continues to share her compelling vocals in Goodbye. The beguiling tune has an hypnotic quality. A more folky and mesmerizing percussive tone captures the listener in Over You. Rebecca's riveting vocals have a breathiness but forceful tone in this compelling song. Jody follows up in the ethereal You're a Star. Her gorgeous and sensuous voice lends a mysteriousness and esoteric feel to this track. La Bonita with its exotic and melodic vocals certainly showcases Jody's effortless, pure voice. The wonderful guitar arrangements are intoxicating in this beautiful piece. --Musical Discoveries

The members of 'Music Go Music' met at a party in the home of a man who
was, at that time, called "The Condor."(1) Over the rager's din we made
a connection. It was mild at first, but fermented for a couple of weeks
until Torg invited me and Gala Bell over to make a song together. We
met several days later and, in the space of an hour, the first Music Go
Music song was written. We recorded it over the next few days and went
our separate ways, but reconvened enough times over the course of the
following year-and-a-half to record eight more songs

Initially, I thought that we'd play these recordings for our nearest
and dearest and then lay them aside, but circumstances conspired
against these plans, and now they're working their way out into the
world. Though unexpected, this is a welcome turn of events. No happier
thought passes through our minds than that of a bevy of middle-aged
women dancing to our music,(2) and now it seems like our vision may be
within reach.

Something must be said here about the music itself.(3) Music Go Music
make pop music but, fortunately, the term means very little these days
What kind of pop music is it? Rock and Roll, Disco, Metal, Boogie
Trans-Hand, Psychedelic? How does it work? Perhaps this will mean
something:

As we move through life, there is a "curtain of fantasy"(4) with which
we cover a murky reality, a curtain on which we project a clear and
comforting image of ourselves and the world. The slightest shifting of
it fills us with dread. But imagine that the curtain is raised to
reveal a more profoundly resonant version of what was on it in the
first place; a "Technicolor" reality. So enchanted are we by this scene
that we fail to notice the second, dark curtain in the background.

Music Go Music's immediate plans are to continue to make music that's
visual and funks. Hopefully we will meet you where you live.

Roses Never Fade is a multi-national folk-noir project
spearheaded by Dwid Hellion (Integrity). Their debut was
released in 2006 on Rock Vegas Records and has in the meantime
sold-out. The album was mainly distributed through channels
close to the hardcore/metal scene

Neuropa Records is proud to reissue the album with the tracks
from a limited 7" ep as an added bonus, and as such to introduce
Roses Never Fade to the more folk-oriented audience

Roses Never Fade accompanies the listener on a nightmarish
excursion through 15 chilling tomes. Driven by a core of lushly
layered acoustic guitars that swell to and fro while creating a
cavernous wail that envelops the half whispered vocal textures
For fans of Integrity, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Tom Waits

Isn't it a bit sad when you find yourself celebrating the
vvisdom and songs of a band that is only a little bit less
boring that the myriads of phoney bands these days?

It is sad yet in a world where rebellion has become just another
gimmick, Roses Never Fade's antagonistic streak is refreshing
Roses Never Fade has always done everything at their disposal to
avoid labeling what they do, or to avoid being labeled
themselves. To be beyond any existing classification has always
pleased them. Unfortunately, they had to learn over the years
that when one refuses to be categorized, there's a world full of
people (all entirely less well qualified) who are only too eager
to pigeonhole what you do or think. That the pigeonholing is
generally more a reflection of what they think, or assume, is
fairly obvious. The will to label will always prevail over
what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or
understanding. Roses Never Fade's views might be highly
unfashionable, but to them they are fairly consistent with what
they have seen to be true. If others choose to see the world in
terms of black and white, that's certainly their prerogative
and Roses Never Fade would never dream of trying to tell them
otherwise. However, they might suggest that they always keep a
loaded pistol on the off chance that they could possibly be
mistaken.

The members of West Gate are always in their element; although that’s hard to believe when the local scene consists of VFW-playing emo kids, chic indie rockers and uninspired metal bands. “We’re used to not fitting in,” says guitarist Kurt Andrews. The ‘element’ that West Gate creates mixes ripping guitar solos and powerful vocals with a driving rhythm section and electronic atmosphere. With the upcoming release of their first full length album, Daylight, West Gate dig their heels even further into the local rock scene.

West Gate’s intense live show has been the driving force behind their growing following, which has led them to some of the biggest local venues in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. Over the past two and a half years, West Gate has rocked the stages of NYC’s Knitting Factory and Arlene’s Grocery as well as Asbury Park’s legendary Stone Pony and Sayreville, NJ's Starland Ballroom where they earned opening spots for Powerman 5000 and Monster Magnet.

The quintet, hailing from South Orange, New Jersey, formed in November 2006 when guitarist Kurt Andrews and bassist Rob Struck were looking to form a side project. Andrews approached vocalist Pete Kelly with a demo and the intent to find a singer. Kelly recorded vocals for the new track that same day, and played it for drummer and mutual friend George Roskos. Within a day they were both onboard. Soon after, West Gate turned from side project into primary focus as Struck and Andrews watched their former band collapse. From the ashes, they completed the current West Gate lineup with fiery guitarist Alex Goldenthal.

Fall 2008 brought West Gate around the northeast as they successfully toured in support of their Debut EP, Selah, produced by GRAMMY® Award Winner John Seymour. This summer looks to be even bigger for West Gate as they gear up for a three week tour that spans the East Coast with stops in the Midwest.

Ernest Jenning Record Co. is proud to announce the release of The Black
Hollies third full-length album, Softly Towards The Light, due on
October 6th. In conjunction with the album release the band is excited
to be hitting the road this fall, starting in September with Benjy
Ferree, and with more dates still TBA

With their new record, the New Jersey quartet continue the progression
of a band from live powerhouse to expert song-crafters, blending a
seductive combination of soul, British blues, and a dose of garage
rock. The catalyst for their latest album came when front man Justin
Angelo Morey heard the song "If It's All The Same To you Babe" by the
Luther Ingram Orchestra which led him down a road towards a deeper
rooted soul feel and more introspective emotions. Recording outside of
their own studio for the first time, the band chose the confines of
Hoboken's Pigeon Club for its allegiance to warm tones and wealth of
classic keyboards. Usual guitarist Jon Gonnelli moved to the electric
organ for most of the recording, leaving room for Herbert Wiley's
fuzzed out guitar heroics, while drummer Nick Ferrante put his live
drumming theatrics on record with the band for the first time since
joining in early 2008

With Softly Towards The Light, The Black Hollies expand upon a sound
that Rolling Stone described as "guitar heroics and psychedelia that
would bring a smile to Brian Jones' face". The album kicks off with the
energetic opener "Run With Me Run" and instantly drops into the
floor-shaking stomp of "Gloomy Monday Morning" constructing walls of
organ and cymbals that ride upon a bouncing bass line. "Lead Me To Your
Fire" drives with blistering guitar solos that build to an energetic
fever pitch, and on "How Did We Get Here" and "Everything's Fine" the
Hollies display a newfound versatility, slowing things down with
breathy vocals and backup harmonies that drift over shimmering guitar
and keys

From start to finish Softly Towards The Light brims with pop hooks and
clever lyrics, another solid step forward in The Black Hollies
continued evolution that looks to build upon the accomplishments of
their past releases - Crimson Reflections (2006) and Casting Shadows
(2008)

Flower Petals, in fact, has something of an Old West flavor. The
songs are loosely tied together by a common theme, set at the
turn of the century and mostly told from the point of view of a
soldier who has passed on. Toward the end of the recordings, the
narrator's spirit is finally released to the great beyond

Interestingly, Flower Petals was originally envisioned as the
follow-up to Miracle Mule, the first post-reunion CD by the band
that was released in 2004. By August of 2005, the songs for
Flower Petals were all written, and rough demo recordings had
been made. The band s label at the time, however, persuaded the
band to put the project on the backburner and focus on what the
label thought would be more appealing: slicker, more commercial
songs.

Cooper Inc. will release their debut album Pulling The Trigger on October 9 via CTM Christones Music / Point Music.

Cooper Inc. is a new band which emerged out of Christian Tolle Project led by the German guitarist of the same name and a collaboration between Dutch singer John Cuipers (Ayreon, Christian Tolle Project) and drummer Hans in't Zandt (Vengeance/ Mad Max) in order to turn two projects into one real band.

Cooper Inc. supported Toto three summers in succession all over Germany as well as lots of shows on their own in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany and built a following. Through the individual members' work in the music business eventually Cooper Inc. teamed up with top producer Michael Voss (Voices Of Rock, Mad Max, Casanova, Silver, Michael Schenker to name a few) and bass player Matthias Rethmann (LeeZ, Paul Sabu, Silver).

Michael Voss guided the band and took their new songs to a higher level. He produced 12 new tracks between Summer 2008 and Spring 2009 which resulted in the new CD Pulling The Trigger. Performed with an incredible amount of energy the album contains a powerful mixture of Heavy Rock tracks such as Rock My World and Who Gives You The Right, stadium like hook lines in All Of You and Never Let You Go as well as pumping grooves in the title track Pulling The Trigger, Who is the One and On the Cover. Michael Voss can here be heard as guest on keyboards and backing vocals, as well as guitarists Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake) and Vinny Burns (Dare, ex Ten) with a guest solo on one track each.

Modern influences are incorporated with Beatle-esque elements in Weep. In short: no fillers, just good songs. Track by track! Always with punch, melody and energy.

Former Painting Daisy Rachelle van Zanten amps it up on her second solo release
The snarl of dirty blues heard intermittently on her 2006 solo debut, Back To
Francois, takes centre stage on her new collection, ten tight tracks featuring
her searing, ever-improving slide guitar work. From the glorious yowl of opening
track "Showerhead," van Zanten is a fiercer creature this time around. There's
no hint of the sunny bluegrass featured prominently on her debut. Even her
quieter tracks are buzzing with feedback, electronic loops and grimy guitar
fuzz. Everything's a little fraught in van Zanten's Garden. Native chants lend
atmosphere, at times, and the light ping of keyboards occasionally offers a
little relief from the tension. Highlights, though tough to choose, include the
nicely galloping "Figure It Out" and "My Country," an ode to the beleaguered
Skeena Watershed. -E Magazine.

It is set to be released on August 31, 2009 under Hollywood Records, and will be sold exclusively at American Wal-Mart stores in conjunction to Cyrus' new clothing line with Max Azria.

The only way to ensure something is done right; is by doing it yourself. Def Jam's newest signee Lil Ru learned this valuable lesson at a very young age. "My grandmother passed away when I was like 12 years-old," says Ru who grew up in Ridgeway, South Carolina." She was basically my mother. My real mom has been on the streets her whole life.

Right now she's incarcerated for manslaughter. I knew my father, but he's never been around. I've basically just been alone my whole life." Without any parental guidance, Lil Ru found shelter in various recording studios around his hometown of Ridgeway, South Carolina. After years of recording and releasing independent tracks that were highly revered around the Southern United States, in March 2009, Lil Ru finally got the break he deserved when he was offered a spot on hip-hop's most historic label, Def Jam. Ru's seductive street single, "Nasty Song" was all it took for the 23-year-old to step into the spotlight.

"'Nasty Song' has been the biggest single I have ever had," says Ru about the first track released off his debut album 21 & Up. "It changed my life and got me into this Def Jam situation. Being signed puts you a much better position when you do go to radio stations because people are more likely to play your music. It's an all around better look for me."

Long before Lil Ru had the power of Def Jam behind him, he figured out how to make noise on his own as an independent artist. When he was 16, Lil Ru caught the attention of the sultry soul singer Angie Stone who helped Ru secure a record deal with the now defunct Elektra Records. Less than a year later, the label dropped Ru when it was absorbed by another company leaving Ru once again on his own. Convinced he was still going to make it, the determined young M.C. dropped the snap track "Don't I Look Good" which started buzzing down South. Through the success of his song, Ru was courted by other labels including Capitol Records who he was signed to for a short period of time in 2007.

Unable to match the success he found on his own, Ru returned to the independent scene. He continued on his solo grind for the next year by dropping street songs and performing at clubs in the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama. "I had the streets going crazy for like a year or two," says Ru. "I dropped `Nasty Song' and started pushing that on my own. Then I got my spins up to a nice number to where the labels started recognizing me and then Def Jam came and picked the song up this year."

Ru was signed in March of 2009 after performing for the top executives at Def Jam. Now that he is in the commercial system, he plans to join forces with the label to create a movement behind his newest material. Produced entirely by Lil Ru's in-house producers, 21 & Up is an album Ru describes as versatile thanks to its wide-ranging subject matter.

"I feel like the album represents everything it takes to be a man," he says. "Whether you're in the club, the streets, or just struggling all around; People are going to relate." On the sober sounding "Life," Ru details the trials and tribulations of his younger life and how his mom's absence affected his childhood. "Like Dat" lightens the mood as Ru goes out of his way to please the ladies. The party continues with "Yeah That's Money," a song that celebrates the finer things in life.

"Versatility makes me different from the average rapper right now," explains Lil Ru. "I'm not just raping fast or rapping slow, I can do any type of song whether it's an R&B type record or rap or rock `n roll. I can pretty much do anything."

With his debut album, 21 & Up set to be released late this summer, Lil Ru is determined now more than ever to win. And even though he is now part of the world's most powerful hip-hop label, he will always be his own man first. "Never having that stable background or that family, I was alone a lot," says Ru. "I was able to make a situation happen with my music and I was able to feed myself and family off of that. Music always had me first; I always stayed focused on that."

The economic downturn has left luxury items collecting dust on the shelf. In fact, words like: opulent, lavish, plush, and sumptuous have all but disappeared from hotel, real estate, and fashion descriptions. Articles are written daily asking Americans to scale back on everything from make-up to groceries, and we’ve readily embraced the hottest trends that lead to saving money. Now, more than ever before, the fore-front of our collective consciousness is focused on sacrifice, but there is one place that has yet to be affected by this new passion for parsimony – indie soul.

Russell Taylor’s sophomore album, CONFESSIONAL, has revived the true meaning of sacrifice, “to make sacred,” and given us sensuously starved listeners an intimate view of romantic relationships draped in musical decadence as in times past. Rt! draws on his Southern family roots and his Philly upbringing to create a collection of songs that speak directly to the heart while echoing sentiments of old Hollywood glamour intertwined with progressive yet classic soul. These songs reverberate with the pains of unrequited love as in Let Me Love You and the elation of that first touch in Hands 2 Myself. Russell compels you to listen, not just hear the jarringly honest lyrics that draw on our voyeuristic tendencies and enliven our innate need for sincere human connection; whether it is taboo as in Another Life or complicated as in Press Pause.

Rt! has the educational pedigree and the street cred to bridge the chasm between the block and the yatch. He uses this unique understanding to remain true to his musical influences and disregards the pressure to please the pop music industry. Russell also infuses his work with an international flare that began with his early musical study in the UK. His musical CV is equally impressive as he has shared stages with some of our generation’s most respected musicians: Mary J. Blige, Musiq, Jill Scott, India Arie, Mint Condition, Tamia, Rahsaan Patterson, Jaguar, Eric Roberson, Lalah Hathaway and Omar. Therefore, it is no surprise that he continues to woo audiences from Paris to LA, where they swoon over his soulful voice, pristine good looks, seductive smile and genuinely affable personality.

Luxury is not dead; it has just taken on a new appearance. It has morphed into a melodious delight and drenched itself in thoughtful truths. Rt! is a relevant artist unafraid to give us something authentically affluent, during a trying time of uncertainty. CONFESSIONAL is a sacred and essential gift. Open your ears and receive this blessing.

With the enormously popular horror movie series back, writer-producer-director Rob Zombie, once again puts his own twisted twist on the soundtrack. Halloween II – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Hip-O/UMe), released August 25, 2009, and co-produced by Zombie, manages to bring together dialogue from the film as well as music from Motorhead, The Moody Blues, Scream (sans future member Dave Grohl), Rod Stewart, the MC5 and Foghat, alongside new psychobilly band Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures.

Frightmaster Zombie helmed 2007’s ninth installment in the HALLOWEEN franchise that began in 1978. HALLOWEEN II, which debuts August 28, picks up where HALLOWEEN left off, and focuses on the struggles of Laurie Strode (played by Scout Taylor-Compton) and killer Michael Myers (played by Tyler Mane).

Indie singer/songwriter Ingrid Mcihaelson called “Everybody”. Probably best known for her single “The way I am”, but some of her songs have also featured on TV shows such as Greys Anatomy, One Tree Hill and Scrubs.

Everybody is the eagerly awaited follow-up to her 2007 release, Girls and Boys which brought us the hit single “The Way I Am” and launched Ingrid into the mainstream music consciousness. The New York Times described Michaelson’s unique musical approach as “soulful, idiosyncratic,” while Rolling Stone loves her “sweet but mellow lounge-pop harmonies.” On Everybody Michaelson showcases a matured point of view as she explores a new relationship with the idea of love, one that’s less crushed-out girl and more self-realized, independent woman. “Everybody - which is about a big idea,” explains Paste Magazine, “chronicles a relationship so intense and volatile that both lovers lose themselves within it. Everybody is truly everybody’s.”

Since 2005 (the year the group formed) Young Galaxy have worked hard to build a name for themselves and now, after three years and with the release of Invisible Republic looming, we finally get to witness their début effort in upholding their respected Canadian roots.After all that suspenseful build-up, it's fortuitous that this album is something of a success.

Intro track and leading song from the new album Long Live The Fallen World is a electronic-indie hit just waiting to happen, only being held back by its slightly ominous vocals. The melody is ready for radio in every way possible but it's ten times more grounded than any other examples you would find in the mainstream music charts.

Dreamy, wandering guitars pick their way in and out, gliding on a constant stream of sound, punctuated by the oddly-built chorus and matching vocal melody. Mid-album track Light Years drifts along placidly, rubbing sleep from its eyes and yawning contentedly as drum and cymbal shatter quietly in the background, painting tranquil dream-indie in-front of your very eyes. It trickles wonderfully into successive track Disposable Time which also shows heaps of promise from its very first listen.

It's less 'epic' and hazy than its lead-in but shows a more arresting side to their strangely attractive pop. The rhythm is jittery and atmospheric, smothering repetitive guitar chords with electronic noise and reserved percussion. "In disposable times" repeats main female vocalist Catherine McCandless again and again through the chorus, psychedelic strings hypnotising all the while.

Whilst the majority of the material is fine instrumentally, a gripe does surface when the vocals are handed over to main male vocalist Stephen Ramsay. He's by no means terrible - in places, his melancholic timbre suits the atmospherics behind - all too often though, he interrupts their style and fails to integrate properly with their instrumental intent. On Dreams he taints the otherwise acceptable and melodious nature with grating nonchalance and no real mood. He takes their high jump and places a brick wall in front of them, a sad occurrence for a band of such promise.

The Glorious Unseen, a contemporary rock band out of Nashville plays a beautifully simple brand of worship that simply relaxes me to the point of not being able to keep my eyes open. This is where I blame myself, yet feel little guilt. I want something a bit deeper lyrically, something a bit more creative musically, something a bit more uptempo to keep me rockin’ even if it is at church, where some would prefer the exact opposite. I can hardly blame someone for making smooth songs that are kick back and completely give praise to the Lord just because I want to take a nap whenever they do so. They are what they are and I am what I am and hopefully we all find success with where we are at.

The second full length release from The Glorious Unseen, The Hope That Lies In You, plays out a bit different than I would expect one to come about. The first two tracks feel a bit unmemorable, followed by a re-hashed cover of “How He Loves”, with a chorus that is very difficult to get out of my head once it is in there. The fifth song, “Heavyhearted”, I believe is probably the strongest song for something that I would want to hear in church to feel inspired, encouraged and comforted in difficult times. Despite that, my personal vote for favorite song would be “Sustain”, which probably fits a lot better for a rock band than on a Sunday morning, with its penetrating lyrics and hard hitting reality. The rest of the album, for the most part, is par for the course, simple lyrics and music for a nice easy ride, but nothing that I personally find very outstanding.

"Temple"
"Drown In The Now (feat. Matisyahu)" (song by The Crystal Method, appears on their 2009 album Divided by Night)
"7 Beggars"

Few artists make an impact as complete as the one Matisyahu made with his Top 40 smash "King Without a Crown": Here was a true original, the song announced--a Hasidic Jewish musician from New York City singing reggae songs about his religious devotion. Fans responded to this one-of-a-kind voice, too, driving Youth, Matisyahu's Grammy-nominated 2006 studio disc, to the top spot on Billboard's reggae albums chart.
True originals, though, don't stay put for long, and on his bold new album, Light, 29-year-old Matisyahu proves that there's much more to his artistry than might initially meet the eye. "As my musical tastes have grown I have been re-discovering my sound and my voice," he says.

Light is anything but safe. Produced by David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, the Strokes), the 14-track collection covers a dizzying amount of stylistic ground, from hard-edged dancehall ("Smash Lies") and ska-inflected New Wave ("We Will Walk") to laidback pop-rock ("So Hi So Lo") and acoustic folk-soul ("I Will Be the Light"). While reggae is far from absent here--see the old-school toasting in "Motivate"--Light finds Matisyahu edging away from his comfort zone into more daring territory. "Being an artist is about being sensitive to how the world resonates inside you and then being able to express it," he says. "This process is an ever-changing one."

Hold Your Head High (Bonus Track)
Begin Again (Reggae Version) (Bonus Track)

Last time around, Colbie Caillat was feeling "Bubbly," and the entire pop world seemed to want a sip. But this time, effervescence flirts with explosiveness. For her sophomore album, Breakthrough, Colbie has shaken up her sound, bringing in a wider array of producers and players, and significantly picking up the tempo at times from her debut effort's signature ballads. So keep an eye on those carbonation levels: champagne corks may fly.

You'd be hard-pressed to consider an album as accomplished and successful as Coco an accident, yet that's almost what Caillat's 2007 freshman release was. The sudden mania it created at radio and retail "was a surprise for me," Caillat says, "because I hadn't really been in this business yet. I hadn't been doing shows. I wasn't trying to get signed. I just was this girl who wrote songs and put them up on MySpace." By the time Coco was released to stores, "Bubbly" was already enough of an airplay sensation that the album debuted at No. 5. The massive success of a second single, "Realize," helped push the album to over 2 million shipments, in addition to almost 6 million individual digital tracks that were sold. "It all just happened naturally," says Caillat--"and now I have to keep up with it."

The making of Breakthrough was far more purposeful than the ramshackle sessions that became Caillat's first album. Whatever might have been lost in the way of charming naiveté is more than made up for with greater experience and heightened maturity. "When I found out I had six months to make this album it was so exciting, because my favorite part is being in the studio and having a chance to get it right. "

"We tried different versions of a lot of the songs--some raw and acoustic; some with lots of harmonies and others with 20 more instruments than needed to be there--just to see which version sounded best. We ended up having a lot of variety." But for all this diversification, there's at least one carry-over and constant: the front-and-center intimacy of Caillat's vocals, which fans already relate to coming through their ear buds like the voice of a warm and trusted friend.

Production credits for Breakthrough were split between two new helmers. One is hitmaker John Shanks, who's particularly known for his work with strong female artists like Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morissette, and the Wreckers. The other new guy behind the boards is Ken Caillat, most renowned for his work on one of the top-selling albums of all time, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours... and also, not insignificantly, for being Colbie's father. Bringing things full circle, the new album was recorded at Village Recorders in West L.A., where Ken Caillat met his future wife and Colbie's mother-to-be when they were both working there during the making of Tusk.

Both John Shanks and Ken Caillat recorded basic tracks with a band playing live in the studio while Colbie sang along in the vocal booth. Beyond that similar approach to the early sessions, though, their approaches diverged. "My dad's recording is very organic and reveals the rawness and vulnerability in a song," she says. "And John Shanks is a great pop producer. His songs are perfect for radio."

"On this record, Caillat continues, "I was able to contribute a lot more of my production ideas into the recording. I had a better sense of how I know the songs should sound and feel, and what instruments should be added or taken away from them. Because I didn't get to do that on Coco, to really be able to make these songs completely my own was a special experience for me."

No one wanted to fix what wasn't broken about Coco, of course. At this time in music-business age where new stars aren't even being added to the firmament anymore, Caillat's success was as close to overnight as it gets. Two years after its July 2007 release, the debut is still in the top 100, and stands as the 12th biggest selling digital album of all time. "Bubbly" is the 21st best selling digital track ever, with sales of more than 2.8 million, and was a No. 1 smash at Hot AC radio for 19 weeks and AC for 17. The music videos for the first album's songs were streamed over 22 million times. "Bubbly" was named song of the year at the last BMI Awards, and Colbie tied for artist of the year, for that song and "Realize." She was named the winner of Billboard's Rising Star award, too, on top of nominations for the American Music Awards and Teen Choice Awards. If the bubble ain't broke, don't pop it, right?

Coming off such rare and covetable success, expanding the sonic palette beyond the mostly acoustic base of Coco for the new album wasn't undertaken lightly. "I didn't want to stray too far too fast from what my fans are used to from me," she says. "But I did want to grow and experiment and work with different people. I searched for the right balance."

Caillat expanded her circle of co-writers as well as producers, sitting down to work with hitcrafter-turned-Idolmaker Kara DioGuardia (who helped write three tracks, including "Begin Again") and Rick Nowels, who says, "I've worked with some really good writers--Madonna, Dido, Nelly Furtado, Jewel--and I'm just really impressed with Colbie's songwriting. She's got her own voice and lyrical and melodic point of view; she's what I call a natural. And she's a proper singer-songwriter, which is a breath of fresh air today. I think everybody responds to strong songs sung emotionally, and everybody responds to real."

On Breakthrough, the emotional highs are higher, and the lows arguably lower. "All the songs are definitely about the roller coaster of being in a relationship--happy, sad, breaking up, falling in love, just the whole cycle of it," she says. At the crest of this coaster, there's the first single, "Falling for You," which might be described as wearing its heart on its sleeve, if the tune's upbeat feel didn't conjure a kind of summer sleevelessness. "I had gone out on this `friends' date, and I realized I started liking him more than I thought I did," Caillat explains. "I was on cloud nine over this guy, thinking I was falling for him, so I wrote about everything we did hanging out the day before." Think "Bubbly" squared and gone to the beach.

But, in keeping with that coaster analogy, the album doesn't lack for romantic free-falls. "A lot of the songs from both Coco and the new album are about the same poor guy that I keep torturing in some way," she laughs. Knowing that he was more invested in the relationship than she was, she's written a number of songs from this boyfriend's point of view--including the hopeful "Realize" on the last album and the resigned but brave "Fearless" on this one. "The song `Fearless' is sung by someone who's having their heart broken--but I really haven't been broken-hearted yet, so that song was me kind of switching it around from his perspective. I wrote it as him saying to me that he's fearless and this won't damage him for future relationships. The opening lines are, `It that's the way you love? You've got to learn so much.' And I really do have a lot to learn about love.

"All the songs have a different twist," Caillat continues. "It may not be exactly what happened to me, but it's happened in a situation that I've learned from or been watching. I wrote `Breaking At the Cracks' about one of my parents' friends who I've known my entire life. Everything in her life came crashing down on her at the same time: her mother died, her dogs died, then her father died, and finally her husband left her. I was on tour and my heart was hurting for her. So I started playing my guitar and crying while I was singing, imagining what it would take to get yourself out of that depression and get your life back together. That was another song that had nothing to do with me, but I was expressing someone else's emotions, like I was sending a message to the world for them."

Having just been a fan herself until recently, Caillat thinks about how her most emotional songs will click with her own followers. "Because I know a Coldplay song like `Fix You,' when I'm having a bad day, I can put it on and just pour my heart out--and then five minutes later, I'm ready for a smile again. So I want to have the perfect mixture of having those kinds of songs that you can cry to when you've had a horrible day, and these upbeat, fun songs you can listen to at the beach or when you're driving."

Breakthrough's title track is another ruminative song about a friend's experience--in this case, that of Colbie's best pal, who has long been estranged from her father and continues to desperately desire a breakthrough in her relationship with him. But when Caillat applied the title to the album, it took on a different, more celebrative, strictly personal meaning.

"I'm 24, and I'm still trying to grow up as a woman and find out who I am and be comfortable in my own skin," she says. "I had gone through this very hard time where I was really down on myself, and I just kind of wanted to take the easy route and drop everything hard that was getting in my way. And I realized I had to step up and get past that. It took me a while, but I did finally break through my fears and insecurities. And that's why I felt that that would be a great album title, especially for my younger fans."

A newly minted star who's still discovering her boundaries, Caillat tries t to stay open and even vulnerable. "You keep your guard up with some of the people that you meet. But I also think that fans should know who you are, and why be afraid of it? It's like that feeling you get when you see someone on YouTube with no makeup on or acting silly--whatever it is that you normally do--and it's like `Oh, they're doing it too, and it's okay, we can be who we are.' You just have to remind yourself not to hide what you do and who you are, because people like seeing that."

That's something Caillat clearly hasn't forgotten with this bigger, better, and even more intimate album. Finding out that increased amplitude and heightened transparency aren't mutually exclusive after all--that's the stuff that true bust outs are made of.

"Breakthrough" is the follow up record to the highly successful debut release, "Coco", by Colbie.

Brand new album from the brilliant singer of Guided By Voices

I'm sick and tired of all you backward-looking crybabies. You know who you
are: "If only it were 1994..." 1994? Were you even alive then? How alive?
"Not as alive as Robert Pollard is right now - working the boards, finding
the words still jump when he says jump and the guitar chimes when he forms
the chords on the six-string with his honest-to-God DIY, home-made calluses
A clutch of these songs started out live in the studio, with Mr. Pollard on
guitar, and they buzz with the charge of on-the-spot generation. All the
secret ingredients go into the mix - even Mr. P's brother, the estimable
outside shooter Jimmy Pollard, returns to tweak a few knobs - and the result
is music that comes alive with that sui generis Dayton grit and sparkle
Check out the needling, obsessive riff on the intro to "When a Man Walks
Away" - no mistaking the Pollard touch there-- or the distortion-drenched
start of "Epic Heads" where one can just about smell the heat rise from the
solid state circuit board

Mike Stern's music has always come from a colorful and diverse part of town - a place where numerous artistic styles converge to create a fresh sound that's rooted in jazz but refuses to adhere to rigid borders. Since his earliest recordings, this former bandmate of Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, Billy Cobham and other high-profile innovators has grafted elements of rock, blues, soul and more to his solid jazz foundations. On Stern's street, anybody who brings a sense of energy, eclecticism and passion to the craft of music is welcome to play.

Stern invites fans and newcomers alike into his rich and diverse little corner of the world with the release of Big Neighborhood. Aiding Stern in this latest chapter of his never-ending quest for the new and better groove is a long list of talented guests: guitarists Steve Vai and Eric Johnson; bassist-vocalists Esperanza Spalding and Richard Bona; jamband godfathers Medeski Martin & Wood; drummers Dave Weckl, Terri Lyne Carrington, Cindy Blackman and Lionel Cordew; bassists Chris Minh Doky and Lincoln Goines, and several others.

With a crew this large and diverse, the idea of the album title should be pretty clear, says Stern. "Music is like a big neighborhood - a place where anything and everything can happen," he explains. "You can find all kinds of things in a big neighborhood - all kinds of different people, all kinds of different ideas and perspectives, and of course, all kinds of different sounds."

Mike Stern's Big Neighborhood is an open community where everyone is welcome. Everyone has something worthwhile to say, and everyone is given plenty of room to say it. "The thing that really gets me going is listening to all these very different artists on this record interpret my songs," says Stern. "In the end, everything is unified by the mere fact that there's a lot of spirit and a lot of fun in the music. That's really the common thread. There's just that vibe that emerges when good musicians play their hearts out. Nothing else really matters as far as I'm concerned...I think anyone who likes any of these artists will really dig what they did on this record."

Roofwalkers are back with a full length album featuring that song and a 9 other gems. Roofwalkers play a skeletal brand of moody pop, heavily influenced by the jangly sounds of New Zealand’s heyday. These guys somehow manage to propel a languid haze with a smooth driving repetition. We wanted to capture this feeling with the art for the CD package.

Black Poets are a post punk band from London with a dark yet powerful sound, somewhat ethereal slightly quirky full of monotone details, glossy sweepy interweaving guitars, melodic mid-scale basslines and NYC punk style drums. A cocktail of U2 and The Chameleons.

The members of Black Poets have created a soundscape that directly references the course Hackney streets they live in, from underneath a railway line in Bethnal Green since the beginning of 2008.

Fast forward a year and the band is about to release its debut album entitled Innocents And Thieves – a phrase that Gerard, the band’s lyricist/vocalist, likened to what he sees as the everyday boundaries of society.

The album was produced using an array of 70s and 80s analogue equipment by Black Poets and Pete Abbott with mastering by John Davis (U2, Led Zeppelin).

Black Poets have been steadily converting the audience at every gig they play over the two years they have existed and have clearly enjoyed every second.

“Live is where we shine. It’s the most enjoyable part of being in a band. Getting to play your music as often as possible to as many people as possible gives you a real buzz.” Comments the band’s guitarist Stephen J Good.

The band has already been booked to be a showcase act of US music magazine Filter at the East London venue 93 Feet East, as well as
being booked for the Proud Gallery clubnight Bangers & Mash. An appearance at the 2009 Liverpool Soundcity festival in May has also
been confirmed.

Black Poets will be bringing their blend of darkwave gloss and post punk to the British masses through March, April and May 2009.

The album Innocents And Thieves is released in the UK through Tonecity/Genepool/Universal on 4th May 2009.

Ten years after its original release, Steve has re-recorded his first solo album in a more stripped back, acoustic style.

Leading on from his stunningly sparse solo album Cruel River (2007), Track of Words: Retraced revisits Knightley’s first recording of a decade ago and is undoubtedly his most emotionally literate collection of songs to date. It comprises 13 songs and a bonus track co-written with fellow Devon folk star Seth Lakeman - arresting, soul-searching numbers like "Rush of Blood", "Face in the Frame" and "Broken" as well as songs that have gone on to become Show of Hands standards, songs co-written with Matt Clifford who has played and produced with The Rolling Stones and a memorable duet with young singer songwriter Jenna.

Perhaps more than any other album, Track of Words: Retraced demonstrates the sheer diversity of Knightley’s finely-honed songwriting and cogent lyrics , stripping away the bigger production feel of the original album and investing in a more subtle, acoustic and occasionally retro style; adding new tempos, textures and unexpected instrumentation. Steve plays guitars, mandocello, cuatro, acoustic bass and harmonica while guest musicians include Jenna on piano and vocals, Phil Beer on guitar, fiddle and mandocello, Dave Wood on slide guitar and Jerri Hart who Knightley 'discovered' entertaining on the streets of his home town- an encounter which led to Hart contributing the stand-out trumpet riffs on several tracks

Set to deliver a sun-soaked debut of Reggae-infused indie pop via Frenchkiss Records this July, Brooklyn’s Sean Bones is teasing the release with a gargantuan summer anthem called “Dancehall.” Unveiled this morning, AOL Spinner likened it to The Police and The Clash, while RCRDLBL went for a Vampire Weekend nod and a slightly more exotic bridge to Toots & the Maytals.

Recorded by Jon Spencer knob-minder, Jay Braun, Rings runs the gamut from sturdy rocksteady grooves to sly Spector-esque pop; Afrobeat bounce to reggaeton, disco, and so much more. And of course, there’s the Norah Jones connection. Sullivan spent last summer in Jamaica shooting a film opposite the Grammy award winner. Wah Do Dem – patois for “What They Do” – is set to premiere this June at the LA Film Festival, and served as he launching pad for a musical relationship between Sullivan and Jones, who contributes to Rings’ gorgeous album-closer “Turn Them.”

There's smart pop, and there's smart pop, and the Peekers are clearly shooting for dean's list status on their debut album, Life in the Air — fitting enough, since the album was recorded in a studio on the campus of the University of Ohio. Between the frequent four-part harmonies, the marimbas, the accordions, the clarinets, the mandolins, the rinky-tink pianos, and the vocals filtered to sound like old radios, the Peekers never waste an opportunity to demonstrate how clever they are on these 13 songs, which gets a bit wearying over the course of 39 minutes. It would be considerably worse if it weren't for the fact that the Peekers happen to be quite good at what they do; there are plenty of lovely melodies on Life in the Air, the harmonies are well executed and imaginative, the musicians have good skills, and Brittney Maddox's lead vocals on "Favorite Love" and "Sweet Singin' Birds" are charming enough to wear down anyone's resistance. There are also occasional moments where the band sets the cuteness aside for a moment and just plays, as on the faintly R&B-influenced "Sweet Singin' Birds" and the dynamic "Concrete Feet," and the results demonstrate just how much talent lurks beneath this combo's schtick. But while it's hard not to think at least one member of the Peekers prayed for a quote like the one from Daytrotter that appears in their press kit — "the six horsemen of the lovepoclypse" — the line "almost annoyingly precious" from The Austin Chronicle, doubtless included in jest, tells the tale much better. Give these kids a chance to grow up a bit and they could create something great; as it is, Life in the Air is a promising debut but never quite as clever or cute as they believe they are.

"Life In The Air" is a universe tripped up in bright guitars, sugary harmonies, and an insatiable appetite for the classics, mind expanding additives, and relentless love.

Talk about coy: the Modern Skirts' second album indicates no label, nor does it identify the bandmembers — though the sketchy liner information does identify guest star producers Mike Mills (of R.E.M.) and David Lowery (of Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker). In place of liner notes, the insert features a series of willfully strange watercolor paintings. If the band's music were similarly quirky and ambiguous, the album might be more annoying than engaging. But in fact, the Modern Skirts' brand of rock is so poppy and sweetly melodic that it borders, at times, on easy listening. Whether they mean it ironically or not, the inclusion of mellotrons, vibraphones, "dah-dah-dah" and "oooh-aaah" choruses, and at least one guitar solo that seems to be quoting from the Willy Wonka song "Pure Imagination" ends up feeling kind of kitschy, and while it's all quite enjoyable, you come away wondering how much of your enjoyment was actually arch amusement. Maybe it doesn't matter. "Radio Breaks" sounds like Ben Folds with better hooks; "Eveready" sounds like Fastball with a softer center; "Astronauts" sounds like what the Beatles might have sounded like if they'd spent a week listening to Jim Reeves albums. All of it adds up to plenty of slightly self-conscious, but still genuine, pop fun.

Paul Dempsey is the singer, guitarist and principal songwriter of Australian band, Something for Kate. Dempsey has also always played solo shows and toured solo when not busy with Something for Kate as well as producing records for other artists.

In late 2007 Paul began writing his first solo album. It was recorded for the most part in December of 2008 in a secluded studio in New South Wales with engineer, Wayne Connolly (You Am I, Youth Group) and then mixed at the start of 2009 in Los Angeles with Doug Boehm (Elliot Smith, French Kicks).

The first single, Out the Airlock was initially given away as a free download through Pauldempseymusic.com and then subsequently released exclusively by itunes in May 2009.

The 2nd single, Ramona Was A Waitress was released through itunes on July 3rd and as a CD single in stores on July 24th.

The album, titled Everything Is True was released on August 14th through EMI Music Australia. For a limited time the album comes with a bonus disc of covers, for which Paul has become well known for also.

Limited two CD edition comes packaged with an exclusive CD, Counterfeits and Forgeries, featuring four cover versions. 2009 debut solo album from the frontman for Australian Alt-Rock band Something For Kate. On Everything Is True, the immense guitars and conclusive backbeat that Dempsey has orchestrated over Something For Kate's five acclaimed albums are put aside, succeeded by a striking new palette where a tender voice and expressive acoustic guitar are supplemented by airy rhythms, the expert punctuation of an electric guitar and gently immersive keyboards. This is music where light filters through the gaps, uplifting and eminently melodic. 15 tracks.

A poppier, more immediate album than anything they have ever done before, Black Swan comes from a desire for "getting the songs across as much as we could" and the band seem to have succeeded. A distinct '80s influence is alsoprevalent, with a heavy use of synths. Includes the single "Superhuman Touch".

I Look to You is the long awaited sixth studio album by American R&B recording artist Whitney Houston. It was first announced in March 2007 by Clive Davis who revealed that the singer would be heading into the studio to record her first studio album in almost 7 years. It will be released first in Germany by Sony Music on August 28, 2009 before being released in United States on August 31 Arista Records and in the UK on October 19, 2009 by RCA.
The album will be a mixture of big ballads and 80's dance music, reminiscent of her past hits like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". According to Clive Davis, the album is not aiming to fit Houston into the current music market, but is instead remaining true to who she is, and the impact she has made on the record industry. The roster of producers and writers includes Swizz Beatz, Johnta Austin, Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, Harvey Mason, Jr., and Akon who is also the only guest vocalist on the album.
On July 9, 2009 American television broadcaster ABC announced that in the week during the album's release Houston will perform at the 'Fall Concerts' series on its headline show Good Morning America to promote the new album and it is expected that the lead single "Million Dollar Bill" will be performed for the first time.

With over 170 million combined albums, singles, and videos sold worldwide during her career with Arista Records, Whitney Houston has established a benchmark for superstardom that will quite simply never be eclipsed in the modern era. She is a singer's singer who has influenced countless other vocalists, male and female. Houston is triumphed by the Guinness Book of World Records as music's "Most Awarded Female Artist of All Time" with an amazing tally of 411 awards. She holds both the biggest-selling U.S. single of all-time (her career defining rendition of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You") and one of the top 10 best-selling albums of all time (The Bodyguard soundtrack) to her many credits. She's also the only artist to chart seven consecutive #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, hold seven consecutive multi-platinum albums. She reigns as the first female artist to have entered the Billboard 200 album chart at #1. Whitney's highly anticipated new studio album features a wide array of A-list producers including Stargate, R Kelly, Akon, Eric Hudson & Johnta Austin, Fernando Garabay & Harvey Mason Jr., Tricky Stewart, Swizz Beatz, David Foster and Diane Warren. On September 1, 2009, the Legend, the Icon, the Worldwide Superstar returns with her best work yet.

Gilles Peterson is an influential DJ and record-label owner from Switzerland, who moved to London, as a boy. Through his labels Acid Jazz and Talkin’ Loud he has been associated with the careers of countless well-known artists of the 1990s.

UK pressing. 2009 compilation compiled by world renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, including five exclusive unreleased tracks. Taking it back to the old school and presenting Brazil's best new talent, Brazilika IV seamlessly mixes through Far Out's wide ranging styles. A close friend to Joe Davis for 25 years, Gilles Peterson has been a constant supporter of Joe's original and best UK based Brazilian record label. The pair released the original Brazilika compilation on Gilles' Talking Loud label 15 years ago and now they go full circle with the fourth installment in Far Out's Brazilika series, following block party mixes from Kenny Dope, 4 Hero and Andy Votel. Brazilian music aficionado Peterson introduced a new generation to the cream of Brazil's Bossa and post-Bossa artists and here expertly blends the cream of the timeless (Ipanemas, Grupo Batuque, Azymuth and Arthur Verocai) with the new breed (Clara Moreno, Binario and Zeep) from Far Out's monumental catalog.

While serviceable as a fashionable background-music mix, this 15th-anniversary celebration of the excellent London-based Brazilian label Far Out is rather traduced by too many brainless production gimmicks (such as the truly dreadful Krishnanda's underwater cowbells) and slapdash remixes.

That still leaves a dozen or so great tracks by the likes of The Ipanemas and the veteran Rio-born singer-songwriter Joyce, but it may be better to check out the original albums, where purity of sound is assured.

Things You Should Know is the new EP from British singer/songwriter Carina Round. The EP is a stepping stone before the musician releases a new album funded by fan donations, as is the latest trend.

The songs on the 5-track EP are moody and atmostpheric.

The opener "Backseat" features an incredibly patient build into a explosive epiphany ending. "Please Don't Stop" is an ominous soundtrack, bordering on Gothic. "Do You" comes across as a lost Mazzy Star track.

Round's lovely voice is the focal point of these songs. While she does not have a tremendous range or super distinctive delivery, her singing style is perfectly suited to the music.

Things You Should Know bodes well for the full length album.

Ilse Annoeska de Lange was born on May 13, 1977 in Almelo, Netherlands. She started her career at the age of 8 as a lip-synching artist, which won her several contests. DeLange drew greater attention after switching to a live repertoire in both regional and national talent shows in Hilversum (the Dutch city where most TV-programs are recorded). This helped her book some live-performances on national television. She formed a duo with guitarist Joop Liefland, who introduced her to country music.

In 1994 Ilse performed at the Dutch Country Music Awards. Despite positive reviews, nothing happened with her career. She did get in touch with representatives of Warner Music but it took several years of negotiation before Warner Music decided to offer Ilse a contract. In 1996 DeLange joined the popgroup Wij where the group released the single "De Oorlog Meegemaakt" ("Experienced The War"). However the single didn't chart the Dutch Top 40.

We've said some pretty friendly things about Chicago's Haymarket Riot in the past, and Endless Bummer refuses to let pleasantries die. The band's first studio album in five years is another rock-solid collection of super tight post-hardcore tunes that `90s Dischord fans should surely appreciate.
Fugazi comparisons have run pretty rampant in said reviews, and while Endless Bummer probably won't change that, it actually reminds me more of At the Drive-In on in/CASINO/OUT. I know, it's basically apples and Bleinheim oranges in that sense, but Kevin J. Frank's got this voice that just directly reminds me of Cedric's, sometimes even Jim Ward's circa Sparta's most ATDI-leaning days.

Endless Bummer does play through with a methodical and less spastic sense, however, with more of a heavier, straightforward, thumping, Jawbox-esque plod. It's quite enthralling, however, with plenty of versatility in the guitar effects that make a song like the six-minute "Chasing Endurance" (perfectly titled) captivating enough. "Good Night, Nurse!" has plenty of interesting guitar work too, with this one riff playing in and out of the proceedings and another making for a great between-verse dirge. At nine tracks and 41 minutes, some of the songs definitely drag on a bit, but not horribly so.

While I think Olehole pretty much tore this style a new hole on last year's Holemole, Endless Bummer is still one of the better entries for a beloved and often difficult sound to make sufficiently interesting.

Third album from Christian rock band Needtobreathe,Needtobreathe first began in 2000 by playing songs in front of mostly coffee house audiences at Furman University, where Bear was a standout wide receiver for the Furman Paladins football team.

The Outsiders is slated for an August 25, 2009 release. Recorded from the end of 2008 through April 2009 with Jim Scott, John Alegia and Rick Beato, fans will be reintroduced to the versatility they knew from their previous album, The Heat. The Outsiders truly finds NEEDTOBREATHE coming into their own, seamlessly blending ambient, arena-ready soundscapes with a decidedly Southern sensibility.

The band in full generally disassociates itself from the largely instrumental material released by Adam Blake and Stuart Price before adding Johnny Blake to the lineup and taking a new direction stylistically. This is evidenced by the lack of its coverage on the official website.

Price and Blake also work under the alias Paper Faces for remixes and have reworked tracks for Zoot Woman songs as well as other established recording artists such as Madonna, Scissor Sisters and producers such as Felix Da Housecat and Pete Tong.

Zoot Woman's Hope in the Mirror was featured in the soundtrack to Mack Dawg Productions 2004 snowboard video Chulksmack, in Jussi Oksanen section of the film. Their track Grey Day appeared in David Benedek's film 91 Words for Snow (2006, Blank Paper Studio). This helped spread the word to the snowboard community.

In December 2007, a new single titled We Won't Break was released as a free download on RCRD LBL. The single was accompanied by a music video directed by Mirjam Baker and Michael Kren. In March 2008, the band made a second single (Live In My Head) available for download on their MySpace page. Both songs are featured on their upcoming third album, Things Are What They Used To Be, which has been confirmed to be released on 21st August 2009.

The German ritual-folk-formation :Golgatha: was
founded in 2004 by Christoph Donarski. The first
full length album ‘Waste Land’ after two
compilation tracks appeared in an edition of 100
hand-numbered CD-rs. Published by the musician
himself it shed first light on things to come.
‘Waste Land’ is the rare prequel to the acclaimed
and successful 2008-album ‘Sang Graal’ (with Dawn
& Dusk Entwined) and is itself inspired by T. S.
Eliot’s enigmatic grail-poem ‘The Waste Land’
which works as a key metaphor for a spiritually
dying world.
On “Waste Land” sinister and pessimistic
soundscapes unfold and spread fragmented allusions
and remarks on spiritual death and cultural clash.
The symbolic name of :Golgatha: - which is the
execution hill in Jerusalem where Jesus had been
crucified - was never more fitting than in this
early apocalyptic soundtrack for an Inner Cinema,
carried by ritual drums, dark drones, mysterious
sounds and sacred voices.
For this re-release the original sound was totally
re-mastered and appears more powerful than ever
before. The original artwork is added by bleak
photos from the same era to complete the image.
This CD contains two original versions of tracks
later remixed by Dawn & Dusk Entwined for ‘Sang
Graal’. Bonus tracks: two combined tracks from ‘In
the Crystal Cage’-compilation (2004) and ‘Shred
your skin’ from the SAW II-soundtrack by Charlie
Clouser (Trisol).

‘Waste Land’ is a terrifying soundtrack for the
Kali Yuga, the darkest of ages.

2007 s The Trailer Tapes would become one of the best-selling and acclaimed
albums of Knight s entire career. Critics hailed it as everything from as stark
and brutally honest as Springsteen s Nebraska (The Philadelphia Enquirer) to
the sound of Hank Williams with a gun and a Vicodin script (The Houston
Press). Chris Knight s not-to-be-missed Trailer Tapes lets nothing get in the
way of a great singer and his songs, wrote Ben Sisario in The New York Daily
News. This is a record no lover of great American music should miss

Trailer II is far more than just a sequel to The Trailer Tapes. Where the
majority of the first album were songs that had never appeared on any subsequent
Knight disc, Trailer II features original versions of what would become many of
Chris most popular tracks. Songs like It Ain t Easy Being Me , Love And A
45?, Send A Boat and The River s Own crackle with the unprocessed honesty
of a young singer/songwriter finding and delivering his own startling voice
In a sense, this record is the second part of a classic field recording, says
producer Frank Liddell. It s the rest of the story of a place in time where you
first hear one of the most truthful artists in music today

I think I was hard on myself when it came to putting together Trailer II
Chris admits. I ve been playing most of these songs every night on the road for
the past 12 years. I know I sing them way different now than when I did then
What you re hearing is a guy who had written those songs at his kitchen table
and barely knew how to sing them into a microphone. Still, he says, there are
moments where I can hear the beginning of what I do now.

State Of Da World is a major statement from Inner Circle, a stunning 15 track tour-de-force of classic reggae, a concept album of sorts that delivers hard-eyed and spiritually uplifting classic reggae, graced by an all-star cast of special guests. An extensive 24 page booklet with many photos is included.

Inner Circle is, of course, best known for "Bad Boys," a ubiquitous crossover hit thanks to its use as the theme song for the long-running Fox TV reality series Cops. But the band had a lengthy history prior to its international breakthrough, dating all the way back to the late '60s. They hit the big time in Jamaica during the '70s as a danceable yet rootsy Rastafarian reggae outfit, fronted by the charismatic singer Jacob Miller. Miller's tragic death in a car accident in 1980 put the group on hiatus for several years, and when they finally regrouped in the mid-'80s, they began to temper their rootsiness with elements of pop, R&B, and dancehall. Originally recorded in 1987, "Bad Boys" became a worldwide smash in the early '90s, and the group soldiered on into the new millennium amid several personnel changes.

Inner Circle was originally formed by brothers Ian (bass) and Roger Lewis (guitar) in 1968. The group's other charter members were guitarist Steven "Cat" Coore, keyboardist Michael "Ibo" Cooper, and multi-instrumentalist Richard Daley. Initially, they made their living playing in hotel lounges. When the rest of the band split to form Third World in 1973, the Lewis brothers assembled a new lineup that included keyboardists Bernard "Touter" Harvey and Charles Farquharson (the latter of whom didn't stick around for long), and drummer Rasheed McKenzie. Inner Circle recorded a couple of albums for Trojan over 1974-1975, Rock the Boat and Blame It on the Sun, which relied to some degree on smooth American soul covers. They also had a small hit single with "I See You."

Inner Circle's musical outlook changed with the arrival of vocalist Jacob Miller in 1976. Miller, a devout Rastafarian and a successful solo artist in his own right, made the band into a more spiritual, socially conscious outfit, and they quickly signed with Capitol Records. Over the next few years, Miller penned hits like "Tenement Yard," "Forward Jah Jah Children," "Tired Fe Lick Weed in a Bush," and "All Night Till Daylight" (some of which were credited to Miller, but nonetheless featured the whole band). Capitol issued two LPs, 1976's Reggae Thing and 1977's Ready for the World; sometime during this period, the group also recorded a bit with disco stars KC & the Sunshine Band.

At the peak of their early popularity in Jamaica, Inner Circle performed at the legendary One Love Peace Concert in 1978, along with Bob Marley and many others. Heartland Reggae, the film documentary of the concert, helped introduce them to international audiences, and landed them a new deal with Island Records. Their 1979 label debut, Everything Is Great, was a hit in Europe, and the disco-tinged title track made the U.K. Top 20 and the French Top Ten. Several more singles, including "Stop Breaking My Heart," "Mary, Mary," and "Music Machine," helped consolidate their success. Tragically, just as the band was poised for a major international breakthrough, Miller was killed in a car accident on March 23, 1980. Devastated, the rest of the band broke up. Ian Lewis and Harvey moved to Miami and opened a recording studio, and Roger Lewis joined them several years later.

Roger's arrival in Miami sparked a renewal of the old Inner Circle chemistry, and soon the band decided to re-form, recruiting new lead singer Carlton Coffie and drummer Lancelot Hall. They recorded the comeback album Black Roses for Ras in 1986, updating their old roots style with elements of contemporary dance music, R&B, pop, and the emerging dancehall sound. The follow-up, 1987's One Way, was a generally acclaimed effort that followed much the same blueprint, and contained the original recording of "Bad Boys." The group mounted a successful tour in support, but took several years to come up with another album, finally returning in 1991 with Identified.

Meanwhile, the Fox television network chose "Bad Boys" as the opening theme song for its police reality show Cops, which premiered in March 1989. As the program swelled into a hit, "Bad Boys" became a household pop-culture reference. Cops was syndicated throughout the world, including Sweden, where "Bad Boys" was released as a single in 1991 and topped the charts. From there, it became a hit in several other European countries as well. "Bad Boys" was finally issued in the U.S. in 1993, and vaulted into the pop Top Ten. An album of the same name was quickly cobbled together from existing material; most of it was from the group's 1992 party-reggae album Bad to the Bone, which supplied the sexy follow-up single, the Top 20 hit "Sweat (A La La La La Long)." Bad Boys won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album, and its title song eventually sold over seven million copies worldwide.

Inner Circle quickly recorded a follow-up album, the pop-oriented Reggae Dancer, which was released in 1994. Its lead single, "Summer Jammin'," was featured in the Eddie Murphy comedy Beverly Hills Cop III, but the enterprise failed to sustain Inner Circle's momentum as a pop-culture phenomenon. In 1995, "Bad Boys" was again used as a title song, this time for the Will SmithDMartin Lawrence action comedy of the same name. Around that time, however, Coffie was hospitalized with a serious illness, and was forced to take leave from the band. When he recovered, he decided to start a solo career, and was officially replaced by his substitute, singerDtoaster Kris Bentley. Bentley made his debut on the 1997 set Da Bomb, which was issued in America one year later in a slightly reconfigured version titled Speak My Language. The band mounted extensive world tours over the next few years, and continued to release new albums, including 2000's Big Tings. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Suma was created by accident, in no specific moment, an intuitive approach to generating different sounds and bases with unexpected outcomes. To be more precise, suma?s existence can probably be blamed on an Ex-Beatle, an eccentric flatmate and a German-Argentinean wedding (but this is a long story and best told over a bottle of wine. Frank Rudow (member of Manta Ray, La JR, ?) and Laura Clark form the nucleus of suma, in an attempt to find one another, their place and sound.

Girls are a San Francisco outfit based around the powerful, sad and pure songwriting of Christopher Owens and the ethereal and haunting production of Chet Jr White. The songs that make up their LP, written in all night sessions sandwiched inbetween daydreaming shifts on the reception desk of a local hotel, are at once classicist and innovative, strutting and vulnerable, heartbroken and triumphant, intensely personal and effortlessly universal. In short, pop music's great promise come good.

In 2006, critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Pete Yorn contacted actress and Atco recording artist Scarlett Johansson with the idea to record a duets album in the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg’s 1960s recordings with Brigitte Bardot. “I was having a strange week of insomnia and when I finally passed out, it came to me in a dream,” says Yorn. “I woke up and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed.” Johansson was intrigued by Yorn’s out-of-the-blue invitation. “It sounded like an interesting little adventure,” she explains. “The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets.”

On September 8, Atco Records, an imprint of Rhino Entertainment, presents the resulting work, Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson BREAK UP, a deeply emotive yet hook-filled song cycle about a tempestuous relationship. The collection will be available at all retail outlets, including http://www.rhino.com, for $13.98 (CD), $7.99 (digital) and $13.98 (vinyl). Prior to the release of BREAK UP, Yorn will release his fourth studio album, Back and Fourth, on Columbia Records June 23.

BREAK UP includes eight original compositions by Yorn, ranging in tone from the lilting opener “Relator” to the disarming, retro/futuristic “I Don’t Know What to Do” to the climactic “Someday.” Completing the collection is a powerful interpretation of the art-rock classic “I Am The Cosmos” by the late Chris Bell, co-founder of quintessential cult band Big Star. Produced by Sunny Levine, with Yorn and Max Goldblatt as executive producers, the album features contributions from guitarist Robert Francis; bassist Giuseppe Patane; and violinist Amir Yaghmai, with Goldblatt on banjo, synth bass and backing vocals, and Levine handling programming and mixing.

Predating Johansson’s debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, by nearly two years; BREAK UP was conceived and recorded in 2006, in Levine’s garage studio. “I always thought of it as just a small project between friends,” explains Johansson. “I’ve loved the album ever since I heard it completed. It perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time.” Yorn was as protective of BREAK UP as a father of his daughter, playing it for no one until last year. When those close to him finally heard BREAK UP, the overwhelming response convinced Yorn that it was simply too strong a work to remain under lock and key.

Breakthrough is the second studio album by Colbie Caillat. The album will be released on August 25, 2009 in the US through Universal Republic.

Caillat worked with many producers, songwriters, and artists on the new album, including Grammy winning songwriters and producers such as Rick Nowels, John Shanks, and the acclaimed songwriter and 2009 American Idol judge, Kara DioGuardi. Caillat set up a hi-octane 'writing camp' in Hawaii last year, inviting familiar collaborators Jason Reeves and Mikal Blue (who co-produced/co-wrote her debut album) and Kara DioGuardi to the "camp". Caillat and her team wrote 50 songs for the album and recorded 20. In March/April, 2009, she played the songs for a small group of fans to help her determine the final 12-15 that would make the album. Caillat commented in mid-June, 2009, stating that, "In making Coco, I put a lot of songs on my MySpace page and listened to what my fans had to say about each. I really want to keep them in on the process with me this time around like with the first album. We are a great team!"

While there are 12 out of the 20 tracks recorded on her album, the deluxe version, which will also be released on August 25, will have 5 bonus tracks. Universal originally reported that the deluxe edition would also include a bonus DVD, but as of July 28th, the DVD has been removed from the listing. The final three recorded tracks not featured on the album are expected to be bonus tracks or b-sides.

Grand Archives’ second full-length album, like much of its predecessor, was crafted at Paradise Sound in Index, WA with help from producer Ben Kersten (who also recorded The Grand Archives, the band’s 2008 debut). A few friends dropped by during recording. Brooke’s former Carissa’s Wierd cohorts, Jenn Ghetto and Sera Cahoone, sang backing vocals. The gorgeous streaks of pedal steel across the wistful sweep of “Oslo Novelist” come courtesy of Jason Kardong. For the most part, Grand Archives played everything. Especially the weird bits. It’s a little darker than the first record and opens with the bittersweet elegy “Topsy’s Revenge,” inspired by the infamous 1903 newsreel footage of Thomas Edison electrocuting a rogue Coney Island elephant. Songs like “Dig That Crazy Grave,” a buoyant ditty redolent of Southern California and summer afternoons, and the insistent, soaring Silver Among the Gold find their place here as well. It’s an album made up of disparate elements artfully fit together and brought to life with affecting results: Keep in Mind Frankenstein.

After witnessing the eccentric glory of The Destroyers‘ live show back in June, I must confess a certain trepidation when I received my advance copy of the Birmingham folk-punk collective’s debut album, Out of Babel. How could a recording compare to such an energetic whirlwind of sound and colour?

Well, actually, it compares rather well. Out of Babel is a highly polished affair; Paul Murphy’s sinister opening monologue “Utopia Bypass” sets the stage for the wildly theatrical single “Out Of Babel”. Later, “Sirba” begins in a blaze of brass, like a call to arms, and explodes into um-pah beats and clarinet solos, while “Questa Canzone”, with its suave Italian songwriting and charming vocal melodies, is a simply stunning piece of musicianship.

The abundant and intricate instrumental runs, and Murphy’s rapid flickering between growling bard and howling conductor – a dual personality particularly evident in “The Glass Coffin Burial of Professor Zurinak” – combine to create an album that never quite steps out from the shadows. Instead, Out Of Babel taunts you with a flash of skin, like a dancer from a shop window in a part of town you don’t quite feel safe in. It’s an exhilarating experience, but leaves you feeling seedy, right up until the refreshing gypsy-blues of album closer “Torregaveta”.

I could go through every single one of the dozen tracks, and explain to you exactly why it works, or I can give you a simple truth: The Destroyers could well be the best band you hear this year. Without a doubt, they’re certainly one of the most interesting acts the UK has seen in a long time. Go out and buy this album. You won’t regret it.

Big Twins (aka Twin Gambino) is a Queensbridge original. He emerged early from the Mobb Deep camp and appeared on each of their trend-setting records, but it was with the addition of Alchemist to the crew that Twin really filled his potential. Alchemist jumped on-board with a vengeance and took the Infamous Mobb under his wing by forging the underground hit, “Special Edition”. Meanwhile, recognizing the immense potential in Twin’s gritty voice and reckless personality, he focused heavily on their own partnership. Alc and Twin continued this chemistry on the road, where they mashed through Europe as a duo and further popularized their names.

Over the years, Big Twins has continued to embody the raw sound that fans still desire from Hip Hop in it’s authentic form and this is precisely what he delivers in his official debut, The Project Kid; an uncut presentation of QB street narrative. The album is littered with guests, but is led by the appearance of (currently-incarcerated) Prodigy. Though Prodigy managed to record a wealth of music before he was sent away, these three songs are the only as-yet un-released of the bunch. Alchemist also makes an appearance on the mic, along with Godfather, and Un Pacino (of Hard White), but Twin’s true backbone is solidified by his top-shelf cast of producers. Alchemist heads the charge with three brand-new bangers, Havoc laces us with two, and the remainder are expertly procured by Jake One and Sid Roams, both donating some of the heaviest beats of the moment.

This album is a true harkening to what made QB an epicenter for this music: authentic creativity born in the streets and delivered to the people. The raw answer to the fleeting hi-gloss of today…

The latest (Third) studio album from popular Australian rock band “Jet” which is due to be released on the 25th of August.

The band have been in the studio since 2008 working on the album. After touring was completed for their previous album, Shine On, the band took a short break. The album was originally thought to be released in late 2008 but a secret show was played in Melbourne in December 2008 only to debut new material. Various tracks that will be featured on the album were played at this concert including the first single “She’s a Genius”.

The track “K.I.A (Killed in Action)” was added to Jet’s website in early April 2009. Altsounds.com first reported on the album in late April 2009 - drawing on information from the leaked press kit and providing the image of the album cover.

So Far Gone is the name of new album from American singer Tish Lyndsey. Although the NFO states this is “eurodance” genre, her own MySpace page says Death Metal / Showtunes / Christian Rap and the music itself is actually way more like that - a very interesting mixture of different styles.

A full-blown entertainer, not content to do any show where she’s giving it less than her all”. The Indy Star says that with “her fresh interpretations of jazz, pop and soul”, Tish Lyndsey is “On course to be a leading light” in the music community. Motown Music Weekly calls her songwriting “original”, melodies “unexpected”, and says that; “Though her natural sex appeal absolutely pours onto the stage, she has such a genuinely sweet way with the audience that she seems like a new friend; warm and approachable.

Central Market is the second solo album from Tyondai Braxton, who is
better known as the leader of art-rockers Battles. The instrumentation
on this album ranges from kazoos to electronics to an appearance from
the Wordless Music Orchestra. As can be heard from the first single
"Uffe's Woodshop," this record is more in line with the Battles sound
than his previous solo work, History That Has No Effect

Susan Enan released her debut album 'Plainsong' in July 2009. In 2006, while demoing songs for the record, Enan began receiving worldwide attention after her track 'Bring On The Wonder' featuring Sarah McLachlan, appeared on the second season of the Fox show Bones. The song was also featured on the shows soundtrack two years later. It took another 6 months to wrap up the record proper which features a remix of Bring on the Wonder along with 9 other tracks.

Enan grew up in Cambridgeshire, England. After moving to Liverpool to study music, she began playing the local singer songwriter scene. It was during these years she discovered a love for film scores and the simple, yet intelligent, folk songs of Woody Guthrie.

After leaving Liverpool she moved to Northern Ireland and continued to write and record a few small EP's released locally, but it was the 'Moonlight' EP (2003) which began to get more attention internationally. It led to an opening slot on a three month US tour with Ohio based band 'Over the Rhine' which in turn led to a signing with Nettwerk Management and a move to New York in 2005.By this time, she had all the songs that would become Plainsong but finishing the record was still a way off.

A new album Speak from independent jazz singer Michael Olatuja.

Speak, the title of bassist Michael Olatuja’s debut album, holds deep personal meaning for its creator, exemplifying in a single word the album’s underlying themes of hope, encouragement, inspiration and positivity. The album, which will be released on July 28 on Backdrop, ObliqSound’s sub-label focusing on modern electronic and groove-based music, tells the story of the British/Nigerian artist’s musical and personal journey.

“The language of music is one that we all speak,” Olatuja explains. “It unites diverse cultures.” The ten songs on Speak find Olatuja stepping out of his role as sideman and finally presenting his personal vision as producer and composer. With musical influences and guests from around the world, the album touches on each spot Olatuja has hit around the globe, including his childhood in London and Lagos, Nigeria, and his professional years in London and New York.

CINEMA BIZARRE. That name sums up perfectly this
five piece Berlin based band. The individual look
the explosive shows and the glamour of the movies
tied in with a sound that refuses to be
pigeonholed. First and foremost there is the music:
Synthpop, New Wave, Electro, Rock and Pop merges
into some kind of GLAMOROUS POP. But CINEMA BIZARRE
is not only meant to be heard but also to be seen
Look into their universe, these guys have a passion
for visuality. Addicted to fashion, inspired by the
Japanese youth culture Visual Kei, the boys pull
off a package full of androgynity, desire and
controversy since their theme is STYLE IS WAR
