The CW has been famous for bringing us plenty of teen drama in the form of hit TV shows ( Dawson’s Creek , One Tree Hill , etc.), and even for introducing us to some science fiction drama (like Supernatural) .  Both formulas came together to bring us The Vampire Diaries , based the on novel series by L.J. Smith. The Vampire Diaries Season 2 saw the plot thicken as the love triangle between Elena, Stefan and Damon grew stronger as new monsters were introduced to the show. That’s right, you guessed it: werewolves, “super” vampires, and doppelgangers.  With just the right ...

As I sit down to scribe my look back at my first trip to Brighton for The Great Escape, I’m travelling on a bus from London to Liverpool, about to hit the ground running for the third music festival of this trip. Heading overseas to a music festival is nothing new for me, but it’s certainly nothing I take for granted. It’s an incredible opportunity to see some of the best talent in the world – new, upcoming and established – alongside our own Australian artists trying to make it in unique settings and locations.  Before I get onto ...

Sounds like: Danger Mouse, Adele, Broken Bells, Rachael Yamagata Song: Norah Jones - Happy Pills [download here ] What's so good? “Good morning, my thoughts on leaving are back on the table, I thought you should know,” are the first lyrics you hear of Norah Jones’s latest and fifth album, Little Broken Hearts . That first track, “Good Morning,” sets a dark tone for the entire album that shadows a failed relationship and how she dealt with the pain, grief, and eventually the acceptance of its demise. The album was produced by Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton ...

Electric Guest Mondo Downtown Records [2012]  Fire Note Says: Electric Guest create a unique mix on their debut Mondo that offers up some memorable tracks. Album Review: Electric Guest is the Los Angeles duo comprised of Asa Tacone and Matthew Compton. Mondo is their debut album and it is filled with a bag of surprises which blends 60's style rock with a smooth R&B; swagger and synthesizers that create songs that have a laid back vibe with a consistent need to escape their containment. That is exactly how the catchy first single "This Head I Hold" plays out as ...

When my friend Niki played this track for me the other day I was pleasantly surprised by the soothing sounds that followed. I was even more surprised when I looked a little further into this duo out of LA to find that they had a little help from one of their friends in producing this album. A little friend named Danger Mouse , who is a pretty nice friend to have especially considering the genre of music that Electric Guest are interested in making. For their track "Awake" it's easy to hear Danger Mouse's touch added to this already ...

The only thing I don’t like about this song is that it takes them 4 minutes of great music to get to the truly amazing part. The song “Awake” comes off the LA-based duo’s debut LP, Mondo . That’s right — you read correct that all this sound comes from just two people. Perhaps I should add that Danger Mouse is the man responsible for producing this amazing track? Yeah…surprised me as well! Fortunately, today ...

When The Shins played a private show for KCRW, one thing really stood out to me: James Mercer seems happy. And during his interview with KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley, he confirmed that he’s a late bloomer hitting his stride — now married with two young children and clearly inspired by his time working with producer Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) as part of Broken Bells. I’ve always loved The Shins but there is something special about the new album “Port of Morrow”, an album five years in the making if you ...

Die Independent Rocker The Shins haben einen brandneuen Clip via Nowness.com veröffentlicht. Nachdem bereits "Simple Song" als humoreskes Erbschaftsdrama inszeniert wurde ( motor.de berichtete ), haben James Mercer und seine Mitstreiter nun Regisseur und Emmy-Gewinner Jamie Caliri für einen Kurzfilm zu "The Rifle's Spiral" engagiert. Auch dieser Song stammt vom aktuellen Album " Port Of Morrow ", eine Platte die, wie der Frontmann im motor.de-Interview verriet, bewusst oldschoolig daherkommt. Die Visualisierung präsentiert sich entsprechend klassisch, schließlich widersetzt man sich dank feinstem Puppenspiel dem Animationswahn. Aber seht selbst: The Shins - "The Rifle's Spiral" The Shins bestehen aus Sänger James Mercer ...

Das amerikanische Duo Electric Guest wird am 18. Mai sein Debütalbum "Mondo" via Warner Music veröffentlichen. Als Produzenten konnten Asa Taccone und Matthew Compton niemand Geringeres als Brian Burton alias Danger Mouse gewinnen. Der Super-Produzent war bereits bei Projekten wie  Gnarls Barkley  und  The Black Keys  tätig. Das Album von Electric Guest wird eine eklektische Mischung aus R'n'B und funkigen Einschlägen bereithalten, die mit klassischen Rock-Einflüssen und großartiger Moog-Stimmung mitunter an die Seitenprojekte wie " Rome " oder Broken Bells erinnern. Doch macht euch am besten selbst ein Bild von der ersten (Video-)Veröffentlichung "American Daydream", dem Cover-Artwork und der ...

The instant “Say Goodbye” starts you immediately notice two things: 1) This isn’t a sound we’ve previously associated with Norah Jones, probably because 2) Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton’s fingerprints (paw prints?) are all over this track. The understated, shimmering synth chords combined with the subtle laying of guitars are, for any fans of Broken Bells, [...]

I was fourteen, sat cross-legged on the edge of my bed looking out of the window to a farmyard on a summer‘s afternoon, the sound from my tall-speakers hit the room like a wave; Young Pilgrims played. In the next six months of my life I sat through many a tidal-storm with ‘Chutes Too Narrow’ and ‘Oh! Inverted World’ being the instigators. I saw some shows, along came ‘Wincing The Night Away’ and then silence. James Mercer left us hanging, checking-in every so often to wave a Broken Bells track or a David Bowie cover at us.   Until now ...

The Best New Music of 2012 Someone You Should Know One of the Best Records Released to-date in 2012 "With a more mature, self-effacing nature but with a keen eye on remaining playful and light, the songs from The End of That (on Secret City ) both punctuate through underscore and bounce. Plants and Animals ' ten years of experience playing together have served them and their audiences well and it's pretty clear Montreal can be proud of these sons. This is one record you need to own this year.." - Ryan Spaulding BACKSTORY - Montreal's Plants and Animals have been playing ...

It’s been five years since the Shins put out a new album, but in a way, the new Port Of Morrow is a surprise simply because the band is back at all . In the time since 2007’s Wincing The Night Away , the group’s founder and leader, James Mercer, parted ways with bandmates Dave Hernandez, Jesse Sandoval, and Marty Crandall, and formed a new group, Broken Bells , with Brian Burton of Danger Mouse and Gnarls Barkley fame. Mercer also acted in the feature film Some Days Are Better Than Others , and started a family with his wife, designer ...

(Sony Music) Mercer and co. return after a five-year hiatus to fill your earholes with happiness It’s been half a decade since the Shins’ last album, the beguiling Wincing The Night Away, was released. Frontman James Mercer used that time to form Broken Bells with the inconceivably ubiquitous Danger Mouse, so it’s not like he’s been meditating in a cave somewhere all this time. Nevertheless, fans have been waiting for a long time for a new Shins record. The question then, is has the wait been ...
