Emotional Oranges

“If you just do TV or video then you become a tool of the record industry. All you’re doing is selling a product.”

Time Will Wait for No One is the fifth studio album by American indie rock band Local Natives, released on July 7, 2023, by Loma Vista Recordings and Concord. It marks the first part of a "large body of music" by the band; a companion album, But I'll Wait for You, was released in April 2024.

Pure emotion translates to any arena. Dayseeker graft raw feeling to fluid soundscapes, revolving in an unpredictable orbit around hard rock, electronic, pop, and indie. This time around, the musicians fearlessly strip everything back and deliver ten acoustic tracks, reimagining nine staples from their catalog and serving up a stirring cover. Replica features collaborations with Beartooth's Caleb Shomo and Holding Absence's Lucas Woodland. With this new album, Dayseeker prove that they are one of Post-Hardcore's versatile and shining lights and a leading band in the genre. Produced, mixed and mastered by Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox, Emotional Oranges, Silent Planet).

"Lifelines" is the 7th album by the Norwegian band A-ha, released in 2002. The album was a Top 10 success in nine countries, and reached #1 in four of those, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. In 2019, "Lifelines" and "Minor Earth Major Sky" were remastered and re-released with an extra disc, which contained demos, early versions and alternate mixes.

On The Russian Album, award-winning cellist Christoph Croisé offers two towering 20th-century masterpieces, the Cello Sonatas by Sergei Rachmaninov and Dmitri Shostakovich, alongside miniatures by Sergei Prokofiev, Rodion Shchedrin and his compatriot, the Swiss cellist-composer Thomas Demenga.
In the spring of 2019, Christoph Croisé scored a break-through with his critically acclaimed recording of Haydn’s Cello Concertos (AV 2402). With The Russian Album, he turns his attention to two towering 20th-century masterpieces, Sergei Rachmaninov’s early, eloquent and emotional Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 19, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s D minor Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 40.

From apples and oranges to pawpaws and persimmons

Dutch violinist Janine Jansen has made some unorthodox recordings (check out her Vivaldi Four Seasons sometime), but here, in a work in which proportion and technique are exquisitely balanced, she plays it straight with impressive results. Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2, composed in 1935 just before his return to the Soviet Union from France, has always been a popular repertory item, but Jansen's reading, ably accompanied by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski, has a pearly quality throughout, a kind of bright ease, that comes only at the highest levels of technique.
