january sobbing - a short review #1

a short january review about some most listened songs:


blue jungle - mean things (link to the bands myspace site):
superb song! this is pure post - punk. hailing from los angeles, this band seems to be on the right way to blend childlike voices with garage - goth sounding guitars at its best. and, in addition, their artwork is great...
download some tracks at the bands blog for free! here...



sad day for puppets - again (from cloudberry)
this 5 piece band from blackeberg, sweden, is another great shoegazer. nothing new you think? well, almost true. but...melancholic guitars, at least that much melancholic voices plus lyrics creating something special i have to like! "i can still see you in my dreams..."
influenced by the early ninetees and formed in 2006 this band should get familiar to us in between the first half of 2010. so dream again, and again and again and listen to that song!
myspace link.



the electric pop group - you are my inspiration
so, staying in sweden but heading a bit to the north, to gothenburg. erik and martin aamont perfoming bitter - sweet indie pop. this song, released on the bands second album "Seconds" in january 2010 is my inspiration for lonesome evenings... if you like that kind of sweden-tangled guitar pop, than have a short listen to the other songs of the latest album at myspace.


oasis - supersonic
a shortie without that much explanation. it smashed my ears while i was talking to some bottles of beer at the atomic - cafe. awesome.



florence and the machine - you've got the love (xx remix)
and another shortie. i think a lot is written about florence and the machine. read more for example here, or here. this remix from xx is really a fine chill-out-good-night-song. lay back. try to fetch the beat, the vocals and dont' forget: you've got the love!
you should also listen to this... kiss with a fist. great uptempo song.

"it smashed my ear(s) while i was talking to some bottles of beer"

tja, wer steckt denn da unter dem schwarzen stofffetzen? möchte nicht nur der geneigte musikliebhaber wissen, oder?

"unknown colours" der puppets hielt ich heute auch in der hand, ja sogar ans ohr. vorerst jedoch in der hohlen hinterhand. tiefpreisstrategie oder so ähnlich.

HiasSon hat gesagt…

Ja. Der Schwedenpapst ist halt immer für ne tolle Zeile gut.
Das Album der Puppets könnt bei mir auch bald reinflattern...
