Ideenlosigkeit oder Nostalgie? Vergangenen Monat haben sie ihre Discoversion vom 60er-Revoluzzer-Soundtrack "Le Goudron" enthüllt ( motor.de berichtete ), nun folgt das nächste Wagnis: YACHT covern einen Klassiker von The Velvet Underground . "I'll Be Your Mirror" ist die B-Seite zur genannten Single und tatsächlich ein kleines Abenteuer — bemüht sich Sängerin Claire L. Evans doch mit allem Elan an Nicos wehmütiger Desafinado-Stimme, die immer ein bisschen neben der Spur zu liegen scheint. Das Ganze klappt so gut, wie es in dieser Rolle eben geht. YACHT - "I'll Be Your Mirror" Zuletzt haben YACHT ihre Videos zu " Beam Me Up ", " Shangri-La " und " I ...

I've been looking for this LP by Cosmotheka for ages and luckily found it today at the local boot sale for a quid. A lovely selection of songs inspired by the music hall and featuring songs made famous by Gus Elan, Eugene Stratton, Billy Williams etc. "The two Sealey brothers, Alan and Dave, were born in Melen Street and attended Bridge Street and Bridley Moor Schools. They became famous as a 'music hall' type duo known as Cosmotheka, a name taken from an old time music hall which was once in the back streets of Paddington. They have shared ...

Producers Kwes and Micachu have teamed up again for the second installment of their Kwesachu mixtapes. 2008’s Kwesachu Vol.1 featured early appearances from the likes of Romy XX, Ghostpoet, DELS and Elan Tamara as well as impressive re-workings of tracks from Metronomy, Hot Chip, The Invisible and many others. It was brilliant and seemingly impossible to top. However, Vol. 2 does a very good job of matching it, Ghostpoet DELS and Elan Tamara all reappear alongside then new talents of Clout!, Evian Cafun, Bella Wilde and a whole load more of the UK’s most exciting pop and ...

Beyoncé, Usher and Ocean">Frank Ocean all owe a debt to the Right Here trio SWV have pulled off the impossible with their first new material since 1998. Their new album I Missed Us doesn't attempt to put a RedOne-sized donk on their old sound (NKOTB), nor are we faced with an embarrassing volte-face in their style (that's you, East 17). The slinky Mary J Blige-like Co-Sign and the sparse 80s funk of Show Off sit perfectly with the old-school balladry of Keep You Home and certified belter Best Years. Lyrically, too, it's grown-up stuff, with so ...

Soul-Legende Bobby Womack gewährt einen Einblick in die Arbeit zu seinem Comeback-Album "The Bravest Man In The Universe". Der Langspieler, welcher am 11. Juni bei XL Recordings erscheinen wird, präsentiert den Altmeister mit neuem Elan, von dem auch schon die erste Hörprobe "Please Forgive My Heart" zeugte ( motor.de berichtete ). Für den ersten Ausflug ins Musikbusiness nach über zehn Jahren, griff Mastermind Damon Albarn dem Musiker unter die Arme, nachdem er ihn bereits auf dem 2010er Gorillaz -Langspieler " Plastic Beach " zwei Gast-Slots bot. Außerdem sollen Lana Del Rey sowie der verstorbene Gil Scott-Heron  — in Form eines Sampels — Teil des Langspielers ...

The Wedidit collective is home to a number of talented beatmakers, including Groundislava , eLan , Jonwayne (who helmed our latest podcast ), and frequent XLR8R subject Shlohmo . Today, the crew is dropping its first official release, a solo effort by New York City native RL Grime . The Grapes EP is his debut release, and opening cut "Grapes Alla Vodka" is a big, brash, and addictive slice of Houston-flavored crunk anchored by a gargantuan synthesizer that drips a spooky, syrup-laden melody over the jam's flickering claps and cymbals. To celebrate the release, Wedidit has created 100 iron-on patches featuring RL Grime's ...

Pocos son los grupos o artistas que, sin hacer tanto ruido, han sabido manejar su carrera artística. Quizás para muchos sean totalmente “X”, pero en realidad no es así, puesto que Elan, banda 100 % mexicana ha sabido manejar todas las cartas a su favor, no por nada están a punto de lanzar su octavo [...]

Standard Fare From: Sheffield, United Kingdom Despite their far too modest name Standard Fare are far from a bog standard indie band. Their jingly jangly bittersweet pop with intelligent lyrics recalls the much missed sound of their Sheffield forebears The Long Blondes. It's not original, it's not novel it may not even be fashionable but when did well written, catchy pop songs performed with elan, panache and not a little energy go out of fashion? I must have missed the email that announced that we must only ever listen to computer generated pap performed by puppets. One second ...
