Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Music

Posted by Pachi at Jan. 27, 2010

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Sounding much more like a breezy U.S. college band (think Vampire Weekend) than, say, France’s Daft Punk, French rock band Phoenix have nailed their sound down after more than a decade of permutation. For all the lofty, European implications of the record’s title, the most salient feature of these songs is the accessible, radio-friendly pop tones throughout, from the bubbling opener “Lisztomania” to the galloping “Lasso” and the slightly anthemic “Countdown.” Both the opening track and the single “1901” are stellar examples of carefree, buoyant pop, full of snapping tom drums, percolating guitars and melodic hooks. Frontman Thomas Mars’ vocals are as focused and endearingly catchy as Emanuel Lundgren’s of I’m From Barcelona, or Britt Daniel’s of Spoon, and are an essential part of the band’s appeal. With clean and crisp lines, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is a snapshot of a band coming together, exceeding expectations, and reveling in the wonderment of it all.

The Killers - Day & Age (2008, Island # 602517872875) [RE-UP] Music

Posted by luckburz at Aug. 19, 2015

…Ridiculousness is much harder to stomach in words than it is in music, but the nice thing about Day & Age is that not only is Flowers' voice relatively buried, The Killers are unwittingly comfortable with their ludicrous, outsized pop, which turns the album into terrifically trashy pop. Not the serious rock they yearn to be by any means, but these fashionable threads fit them better anyway.

Swanton Bombs – Mumbo Jumbo And Murder (2010) Music

Posted by Legolas18 at Feb. 20, 2010

Their name come from one of wrestler Jeff Hardy's dangerous moves, this band couldn't really look or sound any less pugilistic. Skinny and befringed, and with brittle and wordy songs like Sorrysayer and Shock, the Londoners are making a role for themselves as something like a British Vampire Weekend. Formed around the core duo of Dominic McGuinness and Brendan Heaney, their early shows apparently showcased a rowdier and more abstract version of themselves, which should serve them well as they venture out with the heavier Threatmantics and Video Nasties.

Katie Herzig - Walk Through Walls (2014) Music

Posted by Pisulik at April 8, 2014

2014 album from the singer/songwriter. A celebratory, love-struck album of sublime dream pop, Walk Through Walls was born at a time of profound sadness. In 2011, on the day Herzig was scheduled to launch The Waking Sleep tour, her mother, Cheryl, passed away after several years of battling cancer. For the nine months that followed, Katie toured the world in what she calls 'a difficult, emotional blur.' Then after playing a set at Bonnaroo, Katie found herself standing in the middle of 50,000 people watching Radiohead play their show. ''I was so inspired and so scared, because I suddenly had that old, familiar feeling that I just had to go home and create. But I hadn't written a song since my mom passed away, and I was terrified.'' The result is Walk Through Walls, a collection of 12 songs recorded with co-producer Cason Cooley at their studios in Nashville, TN and mixed by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend) at Blackbird Studios in Nashville.

Awake represented a high-water mark for Scott Hansen, the San Francisco musician better known as Tycho. Described by Hansen as, “in many ways, the first True Tycho record,” Awake announced the arrival of Tycho as a full band, and it found Hansen streamlining the group’s sound, focusing on the drums and aiming to capture the energy and power of the group’s live set. The story of Awake arrives at its natural conclusion with this 12” of remixes, on which Hansen’s songs are re-interpreted by producers who make the songs their own while retaining all of their core elements.
