10th anniversary moment of occasion

2012-01-31T21:45:00.009+01:00

lines in the sand

shaped like hands

to lift us up
on our broken legs
but it's not enough
and we lose our heads
dropped from the sky
it burned our eyes
made us think for ourselves at last
and take some steps
to put a knife in the past
need to change where we're going
and to drop the stones we're throwing
and move out of the world and watch the glass house crumble
and what remains
is the stuff that sticks around and dirties haloes
stopped to watch the rain
but we fell asleep and woke up near the window
i won't complain
we press our tongues to the pane
we laugh at the ones on the train
we beat them at their own game
headache, sunburn, nosebleed, your turn
tongue tied, shut down
yeah, there's enough to go around
so then, good luck
please don't give up
build them, burn them
and press them into little squares
as the world turned, we were dreaming about our brains
and how they made us think and twitch and look away
so we stepped back into the shoes we wore that day
and find we're better off now, no matter what they say
look into through window
of a pale run down car
with the wind in my eyes, there is a burn on my cheek
and a package in my arms
the world looks pretty blurry
my eyes are tired these days
the sun looks like butter on an infinite plane
and I wish it would melt away
okay, now

i almost thought it has already been said enough about this formidable usofa artist on our blog surface. fortunately i changed my mind `cause he and his unique music projects let us fall in love time and again. this means ben cooper, ingenius lyrical mastermind of `radical face`.

this time we`ll try to convince any music beloved souls by naming another earlier band he`s involved in, which answers to the name of `unkle stiltskin` and was formed about ten years ago in 2002. insofar to commemorate an 10th anniversary moment of occasion here`s an immense track with even more immense heart shapely like hands. shake on it!

grandparents from portland have recently released their ep "fumes" which you can fully stream and after that buy via bandcamp. their sound could be probably best described as experimental folk rock. the last song of the ep, "golden isles", is a groovy shiny folk rock song, consisting of many different influences. hence it sounded quite familiar to me. so nothing new, but who says that it always has to be new to be good?

pay attention music lovers!
frankie rose has already been run into music ears perhaps. as an artists from new york city`s trendy neighborhood she`s been on the go for sure. once she operated drums in bands like vivian girls and crystal stilts, as well she`s still involved with the dum dum girls. furthermore she has apparently spun her wheels to reinterpret some older classy song pearls without effort. bravo!

but now she`s going on her own path and and set up a new additional project simply named by herself and her musical followers `frankie rose and the outs`. dozens of disturbing surf-guitars, twang and reverb‐sound esthetic, too. at all times drawing a bow from slobbery to tartly. charismatic! that certain indefinable something urban-attitude! such as brooklyn itself...

"is this love?"
"in this home on ice"
"let the cool goddess rust away"
"the skin of my yellow country teeth"

each time i`ve been hearing arcade fire`s `funeral` golden pearl "rebellion lies" i agonized what song has to follow fittingly afterwards to catch this kind of unforgetable touching beveled spirit. the more i think about it the more a come to the conclusion that one consitently way of change over could work congenial. especially to keep on holding the level of a latent kittenish crankiness driven in its own bluntly soundscapes.

there is talk of an impulsive distinctive anno 2005 debuting indiepop once again from new york`s creative smithy brooklyn in connection with philadelphia around mastermind alec ounsworth. this might fix it together like two brothers in mind. clap your hands and say yeah or just "let the cool goddess rust away"!

eels
"the beginning"

she put on her party dress

i put on my jacket and walked out the door
didn’t have nowhere to go
didn’t matter that the night was getting cold
pulled her closer to me
to keep her warm
and everything was beautiful and free
in the beginning

she woke up late in the morning
i pulled the curtain back
the sun came pouring in
there was no one in the world
there was nothing else just me and my girl
she put her arms around me
gave me a kiss
and everything was beautiful and free
in the beginning

from end times to a keen and adequate beginning 2012 or "the beginning" from `end times`.

i`ve already known eels` music. with mark oliver everett`s book `glückstage in der hölle` i apprehend that gifted us-ami lateral thinker. oh by the way most of his life mr E has been faced a serious loss of familial mortality rate. alone therefore and how he found ways of doing deal with tragedies as a human as well as an artist it`s extreme worth reading. you have to put a calamity to flight. with aspiration, artifice and humor as E did. a beautiful freak! tocotronic, a four-piece band from hamburg can even tell you a thing or two about it. truly !

farewell. goodbye ep 2011

2011 is disappearing slowly.
it`s about time saying thank you for being around and staying with us through thick and thin in difficult and of course just fine moments. i have to say this on a very personal harebrained day. on a day my familiar circumstances weighed down with sorrow. on a day my beloved grandad hasn´t enough energy coming back to life again. on a day of mourning. so this little farewell-goodbye compilation 2011 isn`t only for closing 2011, it is also in remembrance of much-loved people which haven`t a chance stepping forward through 2012. keep them and especially their lives in loving memory forever as we all should do.

"put me to sleep"

"stop to complain, turn your head around
restrain yourself and then you die
did you tell your friends how much you missed ‘em all?
how great is living a brand new world!
and it’s hard tonight for em to talk
is too late, the pie is over, and i really need to go

would you do something for me,
do something for me?
would you put me to sleep,
put me to sleep?

this headache i have is riding … over my brain
didn’t find my shoes and the night is about to end
and i think of loss, of boys and girls
i need your love, i hope you mind…"

run away from all your boredom
run away from all your whoredom and wave
your worries, and cares, goodbye

all it takes is one decision
a lot of guts, a little vision to wave
your worries, and cares, goodbye

it's a maze for rats to try
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die

sick and tired of maggie's farm
she's a witch, with broken arms to wave
your worries, and cares, goodbye

it's a maze for rats to try
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die
it's a race, a race for rats
a race for rats to die
burn away
run away

retrospective 2000-2011.

irresistible live-magnet. definitely one of my favourite tracks of placebo. you never even don`t lose sight of one´s own placebo-big bang on `black market music`. as it were some kind of entrance card into a world with more harmony feelings i crashed into an outstanding "slave to the wage" a little bit later i guess and i knew from first listening what to expect from that kind of otherworldly tunes on placebo`s third record which changed my mind of meaningful musical output completely.

even if it seemed a long period of time - eleven years ago - i`m still emotionally going strong. what posh music was on it! but since there i have had some time-limited experiences as a wage slave person. but i`m still runing away from boredom and trying to wave worries and cares, goodbye!

radical face
"welcome home (reprise)"

almost everybody has been involved with a well-known advertising find. even i have observed it on tv commercial, but as music lover i knew the whole lp before for sure. after listening enough material, it seemed quite clear, that ben cooper and his musical combatants weren`t really be good to leave their mark on masses with a further controllable pop-example. it was kind of a one-time story. i already enjoy that track, but i`m feeling more comfortable by knowing that radical face`s world is furthermore. and it is widely more.

and for that matter i`ve founded in between, that even yonder song `welcome home, son` appears in a much more meaningful version - some kind of subtle sublime lofi-nugget of the first water. on its own a primary intoned paino intro rings terrific and not of this world. i`m pleased for that fact all the more. here it is, on december, 15th. such as adequate. protect what you love!

a man called benjamin francis leftwich. for several reasons i have focussed my ears on the york-based guy. first of all i heard some talented folk-voice in connection with an unobstrusive but subtle precision grounded arcade fire "rebellion" recovering i couldn`t expected.

fortunately he later fell into my hands again. in great anticipation on the basis of an intimate evening session in february 2012 at the unhurried atomic café in munich music lovers will be able to listen to his live abilities in the near future. currently he`s being annouced as an optimally well-oiled stage opening for ben cooper and his accompanying music friends - widely known as radical face. together with their marked-down folk-/indieopop sound fogs both bands are going to give proof of their unbelievable talent of never dying soulmates for sure. tactile, temperate, melodious. music lovers, please take place!

all you lucky people on friday night in kentish town in the london borough of camden! what a colourful coming back on tour i wouldn`t dream of such a thing! probably their music-genre casts it feathers to the spearhead of britain´s metropolis in the near future...
as band manager jason thomas is in the habit of saying, cheers again! essex rules britannia!

ambitious. bracing. an exhilarating coherent intro combined with a high level of vocal backbone and smashing guitars. a massive energizing performing of `the boiler room ep` lead track "get along" makes the day again.

of course bandscheibenrecords put out feelers and perk up its ears, if any appearance of these brilliant guys swashes on the surface, `cause we`ve been still proud of having you hosted for first guest performance in germany ever and wont`forget that till the day you `coming home` again. we do! all get along, get along!

 'cause all my life is wrapped up in today
 no past or future here
 if i find my name's no good
 i just fall out of line

 but i miss you
 but there's no comin' home
 there's no comin' home
 with a name like mine
i still think of you
 but everyone knows
 yeah everyone knows
 if you can, let it go

i seen more places than i can name
 and over time they all start to look the same
 but it ain't that truth we chase
 no, it's the promise of a better place
...

i`m quite sure ben cooper have been taken his well-deserved place on bandscheibenrecords in earlier times yet. nevertheless in great anticipation on the basis of an optinally munich setting in february 2012 i will not keep that back from you music enthusiasts. his band radical face brought us back another welcome lp `the family tree:the roots` during the year 2011. currently his latest achievement "ghost town" (download via link), another marked-down folk-/indieopop hybrid gives proof of his unbelievable talent of a never dying soulmate.

one of my personal outstanding favourite based on this usofa artist, a heart-warming and embracing lofi- reduced indiepop nugget "wrapped in piano strings" (download via soundcloud-link), whose sentimental skateboard video atmosphere is simple brilliant fitted as well as significant for a perfect way of life. without words. oh well! nearly.

i saw your father in the hall
his ghost is living in the walls

i heard him crying while you slept
i heard him breaking things after you left

i watched you crawl into my bed
with curses spilling from your head
you said "we're just the walking dead"
so i pulled the trigger and we floated...

farewell

it's long gone,
gone away
words were almost lost and gone
i felt it was far away;
even if it was near
i felt i could reach at least
ready made answers are here,
sitting like a gu deposit
and always tries to deliver
i turn away from those kind of things
get up and go, my will
just wave a good-bye
farewell

first of all let me tell you one thing: thankfully i recently had the chance to take part in one of my personal most worthwile soul-crushing art cinematic experience up to now if i have to talk about any exhaustive emotions that have been built up in art moving images within a magic music context roundly.

"confessions", a really perfectly imagery arranged japanese (actually noboby comes to my mind who illustrates art moving scenes with keen selected exquisite poptunes in an adequate better way than able tetsuya nakashima) school thriller-drama was predominant based on very special, kind of subtle shoegazepop/dreampop soundscapes, which emphasize circumstances meaningful or increase a world of emotions the opposed characters living in. The intensity of japanese drone-gaze-rockband boris` track "farewell" at movie plot punchline slow-motion-explosion-scene is completely breathtaking and worth to memorable. The breakdown at the beginning is fucking groundbreaking. a more then 7 minutes funeral, farewell!

live performance as well underneath...

and if that wasn`t enough england`s spearhead superior popband radiohead ups the ante with a more than lyrical superior depressing piano track that every listener is on no laughing mood. "last flowers to the hospital". name is program. bless my heart! can you find space inside a bleeding heart...

appliances have gone berserk

i cannot keep up
treading on people's toes
snot-nosed little punk
and i can't face the evening straight
and you can't offer me escape
houses move and houses speak
if you take me there you'll get relief
believe, believe, believe, believe...
and if I'm gonna talk
i just wanna talk
please don't interrupt
just sit back and listen
cause i can't face the evening straight
and you can't offer me escape
houses move and houses speak
if you take me there you'll get relief
believe, believe, believe, believe...
it's too much
too bright
too powerful
too much
too bright
too powerful
too much
too bright
too powerful
too much

soul-consoling. warm-hearted. embracing.

2011-11-04T13:19:00.007+01:00

in the black out of light

i found a rhyme on hope
in the corner of doubt

someone left a word hanging on to me still
a comfort i say
the making of a slow day

i draw a pair of new eyes in my mind
reaching out who knows what i could find

walking aimlessly
walking aimlessly

in blue hours of dawn
before the day rushes on
and confusion grabs hold
have the thoughts come and let go

i think it`s been said enough about anna ternheim and her subtle talents in the recent past.
but i also think it`s not slightly exaggerated if i said her warm-hearted and embracing voice is one of the smartest in a great female music independent scene up to present. charming miss!

in combination with music i`m always interested in meaningful and expressive pictures behind tunes. well done miss sverige!

a place to bury strangers meets joy division! when that drum-bass-guitar combination kicks into a cold atmosphere loaded full of darkness before clanking clear captivating guitar-echoes flashing up from lostness and a subtle underlined background-voice blazes a trail itself for brighten up an overclouded scenery. it certainly makes not only a real impression during a midnight club evening as the daytime video sequence gives proof of that. but predestinated very well, i´d say!

from which direction the wind streams
and the wind is ok

´cause it isn`t too late
i have evolved a flair of
how well i`m being
oh a kiss on your brow
and thanks for the hours
you feel like one reinvents affection
i want to meet you where it has been most handsome
i want to meet you in 10.000 years

additionally perceived: for a special acoustic version alison and jamie had a quickly stop at the renowned australian broadcast station triple j. in addition to blood pressures leadsingle "satellite" both performed the marilyn monroe cover one silver dollar (mp3 via link) from 1954. fortunately triple j keep this rare session (includes "satellite" as well) ready to download via website. without fail, please give a listen!

woody allen`s actual pop spirit?

2011-08-03T19:20:00.008+02:00

in the movie of our lives, would woody allen write the screenplay?
not his best era, but certainly not his worst either
but i wouldn't like to be like diane keaton in manhattan
so cerebral was she, runs away from any romance

but though you're neurotic, and a little paranoid
it doesn't make me annie, it doesn't make you alvy

woody allen couldn't play you
woody allen couldn't play you
i know you want him to
but he couldn't play you
...

opening question: what ingredients might described any creative period belle & sebastian has been known for during their artisitic career formerly? to find a common denominator: their most likely gorgeous figured innocence.

in place today`s shuffle-jukebox gambles once more some tastful indie-yearning-pop: catchy, light-hearted and lively, jolly! downright complaisant anabashed, with much casual charm and overwhelming pleasance the londoners allo darlin´ serve a cute twee-pop mélange with 60ies reminiscences, as it comes directly from scandinavia, nestling between sweet, soft female vocals, a shout out loudesque base rhythm section and lyrics about casting woody allen films for example... along here!

my bandbrother allready mentioned collider some time ago (here). now, that i've listened to the bands new ep: vaede, i also have to pitch them to your ears.

two songs from this ep totally broke my heart, as they continue where the last ep stopped. they swirl continuously throug your ears directly in the middle of your brain being supposed to never come out again. especially "same things (different again)" is the perfect mr. propper - song. it swirls, and swirls, and swirls for 6 full minutes. perfect.

the second song i want to explicitly mention is "pixel test". a great twinkle overlays dark beats and sad voices. also a perfect all-day repeater. and of course, the best thing is, the whole ep is available as free download on the bands bandcamp page (here). well done, collider!

...and simply perfect in it`s acoustic arrangement! en jävla begåvad ung fröken från "rockholm" stad.

the strings, the drums, the vocals. the entire song is incredible touching. and it´s not just the song... it´s the voice of anna ternheim that´s so unique with such an emotional brilliance. lost in thought hovers her embracing attitude above a space-time continuum. and what`s more, the way those drums actually sound like heartbeats is so clever. a moderate breeze with a lasting outflow! wow. wow. wow. nothing may be compared with being in tune with each other.

it`s sort of weird...
not every tragedy needs its own bill.

however sometimes art needs a tragedy.
and therefore every cloud has a silver lining...

"grey anatomy"

life isn`t easy as it could be
something unordinary happened to me
defenceless as a fragile knee
where i am among to be
with my invalid body?

feeling so anaesthetized
no stimulus followed my neuron
every axone won`t synchronized
it couldn`t strike for home
feeling my ancon`s pain canalized
the moment i tumbled down
with a face no fake frown

feeling myself paralyzed
every broken ancon
weeping wounds of bitter size
invoke a haemostatic comfort zone
feeling horrible being seized
on this fateful day in june

aside.
# lippy kids _ elbow
# broken bones _ howling bells
# fragile _ cranes
# zero dead one wounded _ sky flying by

beside.
# it feels alright _ woven bones
# maria`s little elbows _ sparklehouse
# love, hope and pain (via sedulous cost-is-clear)_ a slow in dance

They invented Paris...

...and they did a great job. well, what i mean is not a city or something else. i'm talking about suiss located 3-piece band "we invented paris". as they did their first gig in munich yesterday, while supporting the pains of being pure at heart, i had the opportunity to get an impression of the bands musical as well as entertaining repertoire. 3 absolutely sympathic guys which were celebrating their first show in munich like little childs are excited when unpacking their birthday presents...

the bands sound spans from notwist-creaping beats to placebo-like electric guitars. because of their keenness to experiment and their almost touchable love of detail the band might have a great future, i guess. well, lets see.

but first of all, you are invited to download a really fantastic indietronic version of the bands first single "iceberg" for free on the "we invited paris" - website. just klick here and follow the link right below both videos. have fun!

"the misunderstanding"

by mombi

"solemn, electronic-tinged folk
with the perfect amount of optimism lurking
amidst its lonely sounds"

site of crime: once again usofa. as so often here lately.
this time: made in denver, colorado.

now it´s going to be dramatic, but also intimate. the songwriting duo kael smith and matt herron play music beneath their pseudonym "mombi" and brought recently something unique special forward. a dark ambient moody electronic-tinged folk mixture amidst spherical soundscapes decorates profound soundsurfaces of a lp, that answers to an acutely resonant name of "the wounded beat". a stunning outstanding "the misunderstanding" creates a subtle backdrop of ethereal atmospherics and marks a different shade of melancholy through soft weighty vocals, layered hypnotic guitars and fleshed out with herron´s piano and hazy keys. crosswise music lovers, i don`t want you to miss this nugget. roger that!

by eric`s trip

...means a trip back to sonic youth reminding a song of them where they took their name from...

...sound a bit like a trifle different kind of melodic nirvana...

...means a trip to seattle s flagship grunge label sub pop in the early 90s where the band has achieved prominence as the first canadian band to be signed...

...means more precisely their east seated hometown named moncton, new brunswick...

...might be described with the band`s own words as "sappy melodic pop music on top of thick distortion"...

"monday morning"
by death cab for cutie

she maybe young but she only likes old things,

and modern music it ain't to her taste,
she loves the natural light, captured in black and white,
she sees mirages of mountain ranges,
within a blink of her eyes it changes,
back to the open plain, oh no she can't explain.

i cried how love keep your arms around me,
i am a bird that is in need of grounding,
i'm built to fly away i never learned how to stay.

and i just going to fall and the vultures will surround you,
and when you´re lookin` in the mirror what you see is gonna astound you.
but all these lines and greys refine, they are the maps of our design,
of what began on a monday morning.

monday morning, monday morning,
ohhhhh, ohhhhhh,
monday morning, monday morning,
ohhhhh, ohhhhhh
(...)

hats off!

bowing humbly before more than creative creation!

for better or worse...

first of all let me tell you one thing : i can`t deny sprouting an at first irritating kind of sympathy for an lp since i`ve had this weird feeling - maybe then in 2003 - when "sleeping with ghosts" rised up out of the blue without any warnings and beloved band placebo all of a sudden changed their formerly resourceful ingredients a little bit by spreading them out under a first af all needs getting used to electronical influenced base ground sound carpet, which i`ve been digging hard and fast and i`m still being in love with roundly since time immemorial.

now amidst an entirely sudden but terrific embracing guitar-electronica-keyboard-chirring sound collage perfectly alongside curling vital opening verses crashening into a to-die-for estimate "monday morning..." ear candy loop. that`s a turning point death cab for cutie is twisting me tonal around my fingers again after a longer period of drought. turn up to lose yourself in charming atmosphere. what an adipsous appetizer! it seems monday morning is going to be a pure one again!

the donkeys from san diego love the way you walk and we love their song. do you love it too? This is a song, from their previously released album "born with stripes". country rock at its best. but the cream of the crop is, the song is available as download on the bands webpage, just follow the link below. isn't that nice?

and that´s more than noteworthy ladies and gentlemen!

as i told with previous post before - somewhere glimmering at retral spotlight of genre outriders sonic youth - "holy holy" weaves a high-melodious net with its massive positioned guitar hookline alongside jenn wasner`s voice appears almost sheepish.

an initial step by step winding and majestic growing "hot as day" takes a similar line, which is consistently intermitted by stirring feedback-breaks and thus anticipates the "civilian"-effect yet.

with "that i do" accentuate jenn and andy their exquisite keen sense for subtle and frisky tremendous own melodies that an eerily formidable baltimore-duo here have recorded.

"civilian"

by
wye oak

wyeoakspace // rather downloads

it seems with their 3rd album any penny has been dropped - by this unconventional operating duo from baltimore that actuate a special kind of electrifying and distortive folk reduced to a minimum. and the excellent reputation of these two eccentric persons as frontier runners between noise-attacks and welfare melodious shiver has already been perseding them in music scene circles.

wye oak`s music seems in essence rather measured, indeed drifting towards noise-pop time and time again. a little shimmered with an organ here and an electronic effect there accompanied by a stoical beat, at times blustery, dissonant clamorous like sonic youth, but mostly melancholic pending. that obscure congenial combination between andy stack`s virtuosic right-handed drum-kit - while his left hand creates some bass-melodies on a keyboard - and jenn wasner`s restrained vocals let wye oak being an angelic music experience. jenn s dark-pigmented voice seems adequate for a particular form of music with all its frowning promise and an everlasting anxious bubbling under an exhausting even-tempered unexpended surface.

there is this magic moment one minute before "civilian" ends: the guitar - it previously has already pulled at shackles several times - explodes formal in the background, melts in an all illuminating feedback loop, everything is infernal blatant, all senses deafening, dangerous on the abyss swaying, wunderful and agitating at the same time. "civilian" is the the title piece and meaningful song par excellence!

a second track worthy of mention including following primary lyrical exciting context is called "take it in" from earlier "the knot lp" anno 2009. it is that type of denied perfection what makes the band quite unique and interesting.

half the day away
half again asleep
i am left alone
with dreams
i wouldn’t care if i
i wouldn't carry you
is it still a lie
if it’s true

do you never ask
because i’ll never tell
we are both the same
unwell
but how much would you ask
and what did you expect
of what it is that we
have left
(...)

PS I Love You

2011-05-16T23:31:00.000+02:00

brilliant up tempo smashing-guitar rock 'n' roll song from canadian duo "ps i love you". fantastic song.

reunion of retained coolness of artistic simplifcation!

2011-05-07T00:00:00.059+02:00

a confirmed reader knows my faible for extraordinary artist characters, female or male - don`t matter in the end. in former times brian molko has been considered as the unchallenged first in my personal category. i think it has been changed a little bit so far. i won`t stop short of doing saying he lost his validity in all. but after a mind-blowing reverberation of a groundbreaking masterpiece "sleeping with ghosts" circumstances have changed during the last few years. he left something since there. these small but nice things between the lines. the mystery or magic of his together aloof and vulnerable seemingly person often came from his tightrope walk between a crosswise "ignorance" and absolutely concentrated passion on stage. such as allocation to music and announcements in the world in general, his kind of rebellious attitude, most however an inconceiveable splendid latent ambiguity of a lyrical remarkable well-nigh poetical tongue beyond daily routine broadening oneselves horizon right up to mediate awareness of life were the main reasons for having dealed with them. nowadays all things around placebo seem to be planned down to the very last detail and going uninspiring boring, almost exsanguinous. where has all that formerly unique and spellbound latent vitality gone? where`s all the hidden subliminal unselfconscious viridity? to much love, peace and harmony. oversized ballons in the audience. this detracts from main issues. well-nigh punch and judy show. an overkill even for (a) "placebo".

hopefully this won`t kill the kills, a further all-time artist favourite of ours. alison mosshart and jamie hince still possess above-named property "hidden subliminal unselfconscious viridity" more than ever. just retained coolness of artificial simplifcation without losing all drive and power therefore! the magic word, the door opener, a key-and-lock principle, whose symbiosis fits perfectly. but see and convince for yourself! trusting that we`ll produce you proof of one of the best performing independent artists in place, here are two worthwile nuggets - an new and an old one - for watching!

"cabin fever"
by
drunken boat


following nature inclusion of "bilbao" amidst an impressive scenery firstly operates a calming impact but then with beginning and increasing phenomenal-voiced lyrics the context changes, rips the listener and observer out of its daydream and unearthes a depth of overwhelming emotions. wow! what brilliant mixture of some nice decent words, striking instrumentation and rare nature photography! being thrilled, confused and hypnotized altogether...

dignity, liberty and aspiration flying by theoretical
anywise some restlessness
however  peace of mind streams
along gracile wing beats.

atmosperical interweaved sanatory pop hypnosis

i want me to glow while you still burn - slow burn
romeo the sky is grey there are colours in my hands
a saviour for millions and the havoc of billion
you lived once for me why have you come here to comfort me?
lay your cards move the money mend our hearts
again i want collapse for changes that move things away
embittered and busted
again i was born in ruins of fate or in ruins of faith
all stays calm this won't hurt no one
all stays calm this won't hurt no one

lyrics from "science & maths I"

sullen…silence wailing walls sound somtimes like reykjavik sometimes london. these melancholic intricate pop sceneries even bob up and down in the vein of radiohead. surprisingly they arise from a contemplative town in the bavarian upper palatinate -  regensburg. hopefully it`s all over town soon...

2 times ear & flair: from australia. true to our possible device "global indiepop musical facets" a well-disposed musiclover focuses on once again far beyond european lines of latitude towards south-east globe geographies. site of crime: brisbane. flaunting persons: kate cooper (guitar, vocals) & damon cox (drums, vocals), both together constitute a band formation named an horse. an engaging lighthearted indiepop mixture with a pinch suavely reflectiveness. in the near future their new lp "walls" will see the light of day. as a small fortaste we recommend you warmly subsequent night-time video sequence of brand-new album opener "dressed sharply". plus an absolutely rare electronica-based "bodega girls remix" of "listen", which finally closed their forerunner lp rearrange beds.

definitely essential is an amidst speed and fervency increasing climax "little lungs". closely therefore i found a rare limited version of labeled song including a female surprise guest on stage. formidable artist kaki king makes the sound really up in a special way to a magic level. all i`m able to say is: melody is still strategy!

all gone now

all gone away
so long my lover go on
discover all
that you want to
and if you ever think of me
i´ll be your sadest memory
that´s way you`ll keep me
don`t call you`ve forgotten
it`s all been forgiven now
so goodnight my angel
sleep tight now with strangers
to each other
and if you ever think of me
i´ll be your sadest memory
that´s way you`ll keep me
`cause love can`t be broken
love can`t be broken
love can`t be broken

long gone

mate hiasson has already mentioned swedish three crown musicians sad day for puppets many a time. in dependence on forthcoming concert next friday in munich, atomic cafè. here`s a fortaste of an empathetic mèlange between harmonical fairy indiepop and marked down daydreampop. a breathtaking piece of jewelry! wistfulness. humbleness. and vice versa. for sure their impetus isn`t long gone. of course it won´t be a sad friday, puppets!

named after the legislature of israel, knesset is the band i discovered today browsing bandcamps big archiv of great musicians. after listening to "steady hands" i thought of another death cab for cutie cover band. but actually streaming their whole new album "coming of age" wasn't a waster. the sound is developing through the whole album and there are several indie pearls you also might like. the opener "steady hands", as mentioned before could have also been written by ben gibbard & co, the wonderful "make like a parade" developes to explode under rythmic drums and the closener "mother" does what it is supposed to: it caps the album at the right moment.
unfortunately there are two questions remaining: why isn't the album for free? and why is this album tagged as shoegaze? maybe you can answer this?

2011-03-24T00:00:00.024+01:00

well, let us make a digression towards a worthwile underground artwork few years ago. a plot on which a certain kind of music engages not only an underpart. two well-known actors of different generations coexist easygoing side by side. who doesn`t remember this washed-up litterateur shrouded in his bathrobe, who was tumbling drunken through sticky confederate-atmosphere and interchanging literature excerpts all day long. nobody has ever catched in a better way a new orleans attitude of summer. to draw the bow: a love song for bobby long`s music (please turn your attention to travolta`s honest and deeply moving song paths) fits with the context well together. a heart is a lonely hunter! true-to-life! life-affirming!

by the way,
while having watched this art movie for the first time, my focus on music brings me following exciting and highly-talented l.a.-based rockband more closely...

... dont´be tardy, it`s lovely annie hardy!
