  • EARLIMART – Mentor Tormentor [Shout Factory 2007]

    Nov 13 2008, 20h43 por jaguattina



    Aaron Espinoza e Ariana Murray sono i fondatori e membri permanenti degli Earlimart, band che viene da Los Angeles ma prende il nome da una piccola cittadina sperduta della California.
    Giusto per rimanere in tema di geografia, qui in Italia sono pressochè sconosciuti sebbene siano attivi sin dal 1999 e abbiano pubblicato ben 6 album, uno più bello dell'altro.
    L’ultima loro fatica è Hymn And Her [Shout factory 2008] ma l’album con cui li ho scoperti è il quinto. Mentor Tormentor risale all'agosto 2007 e si compone di 15 pezzi in cui il mood californiano si sviluppa con i suoi tratti caratteristici: ariosi passaggi intrisi di languida malinconia, visioni di spazi sconfinati che regalano sensazioni di gioia e la libertà, atmosfere dilatate e seducenti e in cui i temi portanti (relazioni interpersonali, amore, amicizia, emozioni…) creano un'atmosfera intima e confidenziale.

    Le composizioni si sviluppano sostanzialmente da un intreccio in cui i ritmi scanditi dal pianoforte fanno da contrappunto alla struttura melodica delle chitarre (Everybody Knows Everybody).
    La voce vellutata e avvolgente di Aaron Espinoza, rassicurante nei brani più delicati e romantici di raffinato chamber-pop come Don't Think About Me (non a caso gli Earlimart stanno per andare in tour con i Wedding Present ex Cinerama ex Wedding Present...) diventa altrove più determinata e graffiante sebbene sempre addolcita dai cori di sottofondo.

    Dopo il brano di apertura decisamente interlocutorio ecco arrivare una spettacolare tripletta: Answers And Questions e TocarNevermind the Phonecalls, i pezzi più belli del disco, e la delicata Happy Alone (completamente scritta, composta e cantata da Ariana Murray) durante la quale non si può fare a meno di andare con la mente a Elliot Smith.
    Gli omaggi al grande cantautore scomparso sono disseminati profusamente qua e là per tutto l’album (The World, Just Because) ma non voglio stare qui a disquisire se queste “citazioni” siano scientificamente ricercate o se siano dovute solo dovute a involontarie e spontane rielaborazioni di un artista talmente amato. Perché a parte Smith, altre influenze vengono alla mente, matt pond p.a., i Grandaddy, Sparklehorse, anche se in versione meno sperimentale e più pop.
    Ma quel che conta è il risultato, che è sicuramente qualcosa di molto personale e assolutamente valido.

    John Peel Sessions – Cinerama

    I've owned and listened to Cinerama Holiday for several years, so I decided to see what they did with John Peel.

    Prototypes – Prototypes

    I bought this simply because I liked TocarJe Ne Te Connais Pas. That song has been played on several commercials within the past year. Take a listen and you'll probably recognize it.

    The Bake Sale – The Cool Kids

    I've been downloading The Cool Kids since last summer, and was happy to get their proper release. This is the type of hip hop that I fell in love with in the late 80's.

    Antics – Interpol
    Our Love To Admire – Interpol

    Just rounding off my Interpol collection.

    For Emma, Team, and Creature Fear from by Bon Iver

    Just getting the few tracks that I don't have already.

    Kid A - Radiohead

    One more Radiohead album to add to my collection. I love the horns and the added electronic feel.

  • Música, estivalment parlant

    Jun 26 2008, 16h28 por bigbluesoul

    És veritat, l’estiu ha arribat, es palpa. Malcolmbowie fa molt bé recordant-ho, es necessari que algú recordi les coses, sempre. Jo també tinc aquest lligam cinèfil amb ‘Do the right thing’. No crec que ningú hagi retratat mai tant bé aquell ambient de carrer i l’asfixiant sensació que s’hi cou alguna cosa. ‘Summer of Sam’ també ho tenia molt això, però el resultat final no era tant satisfactori. Un dels pocs directors americans que s’atreveixen amb pel.lícules corals amb desenes d’histories que s’entrecreuen envers un punt d’unió. A part de l’escena que esmenes , jo estic enamorat del trio de parats que es passen el dia asseguts a l’ombra bebent cervesa del supermercat xinés de la cantonada, discutint com s’ho faran per escapar amb barca quan es desfassin els casquets polars. Els vells de café que tots coneixem de les pel.lícules del Berlanga, de fet. Cultura de carrer.
    Jo volia escriure de la música que escolto a l’estiu, però una cosa porta a l’altra...
    L’altre dia al concert de Radiohead –molt bé, per cert- parlavem de Cinerama i feia molt temps que no els escoltava. Doncs això, que és el grup d’aquesta època. Sempre els recupero per aquestes dates. Sorpén veure David Gedge, al marge de ‘The Wedding Present’, fent un pop tant refinat, a vegades empalagós. Torino em sembla un disc molt rodó. John Peel deia que David Gedge tenia les millors cançons d’amor de la història. Més aviat desamor, diria jo. Qualsevol dels seus tres àlbums és una bona trïa, una bona col.lecció se singles està asegurada. A part dels tres llarga durada Cinerama s’han centrat en publicar una llarga llista de singles i recopilatoris i els inevitables directes a les ‘John peel sessions’. I es que Davidge Gedge ja ho te això, l’amor a la vella escola.

    El grup d’aquest estiu son ‘The Hollies’ però. En unes poques setmanes el seu ‘For Certain Because...’ ha passat a ser un dels meus habituals més estimats i ‘Butterfly’ hi està molt apropet. Els Hollies curiosament són de Manchester, que tindrà aquesta ciutat? Llegeixo a lastFm que els anomenaven els “Everly Brothers Britànic”.
    cançó:TocarPay You Back With Interest
    Darrerament també m’ha fet gràcia escoltar un the best de les “Ronettes” per recordar-me que la música vocal femenina és molt més que banda sonora de pel.lícules com ‘Dirty Dancing’ o d’anunci de detergent. Una molt bona teràpia que va bé combinar amb una col.lecció de All-nighters i dance floor stompers (com m’agraden aquestes paraules) com la de ‘Northern Soul Dance Party’, només el subtitul ja fa venir ganes d’escoltar-lo, ’22 feel good soul classics from the old school’. És un dels millors recopilatoris de Northern soul que puc haver escoltat mai, inclou realment 22 joies i és un dels pocs on hi trobaràs una cançó de ‘Los Canarios’!. Crec que ja n'havia parlat algun dia.
    Estic molt seixantes últimament i això m’ha sortit molt epistolar, no? Bueno, doncs això, bon estiu!

    EDITAT: Per cert, acaba de sortir al mercat un nou recopilatori , 'In the pocket with Eddie Bo', un petit geni de Nova Orleans, gràcies als senyors de Vampisoul, una discogràfica espanyola que del no res han passat a tenir un catàleg impresionant de reedicions i rareses . I també ha sortit el segon volum de 'New Orleans Funk', publicat per soul jazz records. Algun dia hauriem de parlar de gran petites discogràfiques. Ja en parlarem algun altre dia.

  • Do you know more songs that turn into classics half way through?

    Mai 1 2008, 7h19 por georgethe23rd

    I've recently enjoyed listening to John Allyn Smith Sails by Okkervil River, and I especially like the way the track turns into Sloop John B by the Beach Boys.

    It's similar to how TocarCrusoe by Cinerama turns into the theme tune from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, and how Rufus Wainwright's TocarOh What A World turns into Maurice Ravel's TocarBolero.

    All beautiful songs. Do you know of any more that I can appreciate too?

  • Dalliance Albums of 2007

    Dez 20 2007, 14h38 por michael_wood

    Michael Wood's albums of the year as seen on http://www.dalliance.co.uk - About music in West Yorkshire but not all music and not all West Yorkshire.

    1 Night Falls Over Kortedala - Jens Lekman
    The sound of a heart beating in a thousand different ways Night Falls Over Kortedala - while bordering on twee - is an emotionally honest record revealing in the quirky and glorious, enjoying sweeping highs and distressing over bitter lows. And I Remember Every Kiss is stripped down power, Sipping On Sweet Nectar is joy unrestrained. Postcard To Nina is funny and big while Into Eternity is heart-warming and small. I'm Leaving Because I Don't Love You is raw emotion. Everything rings true, everything has the feeling of a conversation rather than a confession. Everything is honest and valuable and sweeps you away.

    2 Icky Thump - The White Stripes
    The bric-a-brac shop of music that is the White Stripes is never better presented than in the three week recording fest of bagpipes, RAT distorted guitars, one handed drumming and general madness of Icky Thump. Everything pulses with a wild imagination hard to sustain over two bands and over ten years of recording but Jack White comes good again with another in a long line of most interesting things about music today. Icky Thump, Conquest, I'm Slowly Turning Into You, Effect and Cause and Rag And Bone get continued plays. 300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues, A Martyr For My Love For You and You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told) provide the depth. Plenty of bad notes, plenty of strange notes, plenty of everything and nothing uninteresting.

    3 Neon Bible - Arcade Fire
    Everyone has tagged Neon Bible as the album of the year and it is not hard to see why with Arcade Fire reaching high and grasping near. It is melodramatic and swooping. It is powerful and effecting. It is a superb album but it lacks a edge of the personal. There is a glory in Neon Bible but it is obviously vicarious. That said there are few better tracks released this year than Keep the Car Running or (Antichrist Television Blues). Neon Bible and Windowsill keep a general massively high quality and rich texture. As with the Arctic Monkeys Favourite Worst Nightmare this is the difficult second album done superbly.

    4 Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys
    The second album problems neatly circumnavigated with an acceptance of the change of focus from local heroes to International popsters The Arctic Monkeys Favourite Worst Nightmare is far more interesting that it sound be. Fluorescent Adolescent and Balaclava show a maturing of style and theme from the massive selling first album while If You Were There, Beware and Do Me A Favour show a real growth that is confirmed in album ending, show stealing 505.

    5 Boyracer Jukebox - Vol 1
    Leeds/Nashville popsters Boyracer release fifteen cover versions - some classics, some not - of lo-fi pop excess and knock out a belting album. They Don't Know, When You Were Mine and Swords of a Thousand Men are all brilliant. Total Eclipse of the Heart is the reason anyone has ever picked up a guitar. Superb.

    6 Grown Ups - The Lodger
    A long time in gestation the smarter face of The Pigeon Detectives and The Kaiser Chiefs are The Lodger and Ben Siddall's band's first offering Grown Ups is a minor miracle touching on the likes of The Smiths and The Jam without sounding contrived or copied. From superb opener Many Thanks for Your Honest Opinion through the ebullient Kicking Sand and on Grown Ups is a smart record released into a world that prefers not to think.

    7 Cinerama Peel Sessions Vol 3
    A collection of old songs for sure but worth pushing would be The Wedding Present (or arrivists if you prefer) Wait For Me by The Pigeon Detectives out of any top ten for. Covers of All The Thinsg She Said and Groovejet are worth the money alone which On/Off is a reminder of the superb and meanderering path that David Gedge took in Cinerama.

    8 R.E.M. Live
    Obviously familiar - it is a collection of often albums old songs done live - but effective live set done in rehersals for the 2008 released new album. Stand outs are reworked Document offering Bad Day and Mike Mills country redition on (DOn't Go Back To) Rockville.

    9 23 - Blonde Redhead
    Aging New Yorkers produce their finest work to date with a textured and rich album of modern shoegazing. 23 grips onto the area behind the ears and worms into the the mind. Top Ranking stands as one of the tunes of the year.

    10 Our Earthly Pleasures - Maxïmo Park
    Baroque and hard edged pop sung with some style and no little intelligence that marks the album out from the morass of laddish indie pop. Singles Our Velocity and Girls Who Play Guitars are impressive but the soul of the band is shown best in Books from Boxes and By The Monument.

    11 Possum and the Moods - The Possum Moods
    Possum and the Moods is funky Lo-Fi pop with a large slice of spirit. Stand out tracks are 4WD and One More Try bookended an interesting and effective album.

    12 Wait For Me - The Pigeon Detectives
    Not really big, not really clever but it is indie guitar pop with track after track of hummable if forgettable tunes. Stop And Go and Take Her Back live longer in the mind but for all the enjoyment of 2007 this is bubblegum pop and not for the new year.

  • "Now you do what they told ya" - Apples live review

    Nov 13 2007, 22h19 por georgethe23rd

    Mon 12 Nov – The Mighty Funk Collective present:

    "Now you do what they told ya!" At midnight last night, on a freezing cold Monday, I was chanting this line to TocarKilling In The Name along with a packed, small, room of people in the fabulous Maze venue in Nottingham. A crowdsurfer whizzed over my head. I'm not making this up.

    This was the The Apples live experience, playing their Killing cover version, and it was a bit good. And then the bands' DJ started bringing in a bit of TocarRoot Down to the track, and it starting becoming really extraordinary.

    Rewind. It all started for me when Craig Charles played Killing on his BBC 6 Music show. I never listen to the show apart from snippets, but this blew me away. And, a couple of days ago, I found out (via last.fm of course) that the band was playing in nearby Notts. So I had to go. I even went alone (only the 2nd time I've ever been to a gig alone, though if anything I should try to do it more), due to nobody I know fancying the whole freezing cold Monday thing.

    The last time I went to the Maze was 10 years ago to see Cinerama. A great little venue, well located. I need to go there more.

    The DJs were superb. The support act, the Small Town Bullies were great - playing very fast funk including favourites TocarBring Down the Birds and Melting Pot.

    And then The Apples arrived, starting with Attention! (downloadable for free via their website). There's 8, maybe 9 of them, and they love their hats - at least to begin with before the heat started getting to them. They played Killing about midway through the set. Other highlights included a frenetic "Duelling Banjos"-style battle between DJ and brass, and a funk version of a Russian folksong about (appropriately enough) apples.

    Unfortunately I had to leave at 12.15 as there was no way I'd have been able to work the following day otherwise. Which makes this review sort of redundant. But maybe one of the guys who stayed to the end can tell me just what I missed.

    An incredible gig. The band say they always get a great reception in Notts so will no doubt be back, and I'll be there.
