Sound Off!: Bellman Barker
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Hearkening back to those care-free days of sugary bubble-gum pop seems to be a pseudo-rage in recent years. Drawing from that very same groundswell is DC's Bellman Barker. Their EP, Anise & Anisette, is chock full of lofty, airy, fluffy-as-a-cloud vocals and plentiful backup vocal harmonization, supported by twangy, power-chording ...

Lykke Li @ Black Cab Sessions
Friday, May 16th, 2008Black Cab Sessions knock it out of the park again. And where I was on the fence about Lykke Li before this video (though I really liked "Dance dance dance"), I am squarely in the happy, grassy knoll on one side of the fence where you support the artist ...
!!! meet the Field
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Fuckin a man, what a golden egg. I'm a huge fan of !!! (fuck the haters, they do solid stuff, especially live) and the Field seems poised to be the newly minted, prodigious flag-bearer of electronic who claimed the title of best critically-rated album of 2k7. What do you get ...
Sound Off!: Ungdomskulen
Friday, April 18th, 2008Here's how I imagine the formation of Ungdomskulen (Wiki). First, visualize the scene: a group of talented instrumentalists in Norway are weaning themselves on giants of metal to form a cover band, studiously perfecting songs from System of a Down, the Gothenburg sound, early Metallica, Black Sabbath, prog. They can't ...
Architecture in Helsinki: New Video, Remix
Thursday, April 17th, 2008Given my propensity towards Blast, is it any wonder I also have a thing for big collectives of multi-instrumentalists with precious music and marching-band-like characteristics? In line with this, I adored Architecture In Helsinki's (Wiki) second LP In Case We Die. Their third album suffered from some slumpage. But ...
