If you look closely, there's a beauty to melancholy. An acknowledgement that even though this world might not be perfect, it remains incredibly beautiful. Exitmusic seem to realise this. Signed to Secretly Canadian, the duo's music has a sense of the Gothic about it which recalls the recent British based diversions of Esben & The Witch. Thinking sweeping guitar lines, arching vocals... the musical equivalent of mist swooping down across forgotten valleys. Three elements which fuse together in the video for 'Passage'. Set to gain a single release on April 23rd, you can watch the video below. - - - Oh, and ...

Grimes Visions 4AD/Arbutus Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Grimes takes electronic pop to a different level! Album Review: When I rank genres based on what I like it seems that one person computer driven electronic music always slips into the bottom third. It always falls here for me because most of the time I don't hear the hard work or think sweat is involved in an album of this nature compared to a band that puts countless hours of rehearsal time in, strives for a cohesive sound with multiple parts and even the struggle of getting consensus from ...

It's been two years since Norwegian troupe Maribel released their highly acclaimed debut album Aesthetics. Since then, a whole lot has happened: band hype pressure, break-ups, cast reformations, European tours and, most recently, the appearance of 'Deflowers' on the Revolution In Sound compilation. But that was then, and this is now. Maribel are back. Grasping us by the neck this time is Maribel's new album Reveries ; in its entity a box full of teary tissues and an ex-partner on speed dial is the first thing that springs to mind. Most prominently, Reveries continues in the same path as ...

There is not a lot of information online about Brooklyn’s EXITMUSIC. I recently saw them open for Phantogram and instantly became hooked. The husband and wife duo, Devon Church and Aleska Palladino, released their first album The Decline in the West in 2008. If you have yet to hear about EXITMUSIC, their follow up EP, From Silence , was released in October and contains four hypnotizing songs will serve as an alluring introduction to this band. The band performs live with drummer, Dru Prentiss, and Nicholas Shelestak as the band’s mixer. The album is emotional and dark. From Silence ...

Seconda tappa nel trip sonoro cannibale con gli album che ho apprezzato di più in questo 2011. Dopo le posizioni dalla 40 alla 31 , ecco un’altra bella decina di dischetti da ascoltare… 30. The Rapture “In the grace of your love” Genere : indie dance Provenienza : New York City, USA In classifica perché : qualcuno li aveva etichettati come meteora della scena electro-punk di primi anni zero e qualcun altro li conosce solo per “Echoes”, sigla della serie Misfits, ma con questo nuovo album i Rapture dimostrano di avere un sacco di cartucce a disposizione, unendo ritmi danzerecci e grandi canzoni ...

December of course sees the inevitable 'best of' lists, and given the wealth of coverage we've provided his year it seems like the sensible thing to do is to extend this collating experience to photography. We have a plethora of talented photographers that have contributed to The 405 over recent times and thus this compilation has proven to be an enormously tricky task; even the new monthly round-ups have always been a head-cracking experience. A good excuse to dig out those editorial knives from the communal cupboard and sharpen away voraciously. In 2012 we intend to expand the photography ...
