Josh and Mer are quite a unique pair. Aside from designing a distinct indie-pop sound, the two are invested in the arts, constantly collaborating, creating and even acting! Hailing from the ever-artsy Oregon, these two make introspective melodies that offer the same calm as watching the sun set on the Pacific ocean. “Mind Control” features haunting and theatrical melodies with a dark chord progression similar to Mark Lanegan’s “Hit The City.” Their dreamy synths distinguish their style and Josh’s captivating [...]

Perhaps consider this a bit of a spoiler post, at least musically. So if you want to go in blind to John Hillcoat's prohibition drama "Lawless," we suggest you divert your eyes now. For the rest of you still with us, man, the soundtrack to "Lawless" is just one more reason to get excited for the film which lands on August 29th. By now you know it boasts an incredible cast including Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, Mia Wasikowska, Gary Oldman, Shia LaBeouf and Jason Clarke. You also know that the score was written by longtime Hillcoat collaborators ...

2:54 are a sister act. They make the kind of music that makes you feel things. Not bad things, just things that creep up on you and stay there for a few minutes after the speakers go quiet. Its a musical partnership so important they got matching tattoos on their right arms to seal it, so intuitive they can't even describe it. They treat music like a drug, always after that next aural high. Lucky for them, there's been no shortage of people supporting this habit and their place in the indie hype-o-sphere has been pretty well ...

Die britischen Gospel-Popper Soulsavers lassen erstmals in ihren gemeinsamen Langspieler mit Depeche Mode -Frontmann Dave Gahan hineinhören. "The Light The Dead See" wird diesen Freitag über Cooperative Music den Weg in die Plattenregale finden. Mit "Longest Day" präsentierten die Musiker bereits kürzlich einen ersten Höreindruck der Kollaboration ( motor.de berichtete ). Synthie-Pop-Legende Gahan und Soulsavers-Mastermind Rich Machin trafen sich im Anschluss an die letzte gemeinsame Tour beider Bands und begannen zusammen Songs zu schreiben. Das Resultat ist ein episches und vielschichtiges Werk zwischen Gospel, Blues und fast schon filmscore-artigen Symphonien geworden. Mit einem Klick auf das Album-Artwork gelangt ihr zum kostenlosen ...

It's an incredibly strong week for live shows in Toronto.  Here are my picks, but you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose: Leonard Cohen, Massey Hall, May 14 A Canadian legend and a Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer , there's not much selling I need to do when it comes to Leonard Cohen . Mark Lanegan, Lee's Palace, May 15 Through Screaming Trees, Soulsavers, Gutter Twins, and his work with Isobel Campbell, the one constant with Mark Lanegan has been that voice.  It's never more powerful than it is in his solo work. ...also ...

Mark Lanegan has been keeping himself busy over the last few years. He's released albums with Isobel Campbell, The Gutter Twins, Soulsavers, Queens Of The Stone Age, and even his old group Screaming Trees. With all of that going on, his own work got shunted to the side. Well, no longer. Lanegan has returned with Blues Funeral, the new album from Mark Lanegan Band. This is a bit of a tweener album for Lanegan. The songs don't form a cohesive whole. In fact, it sounds as though this is a collection of misfit tracks that didn't fit ...
