There's a moment early on in 'Ég Anda' – the opening track on Valtari , the sixth album from Iceland's Sigur Rós – when a series of solemn chants transcend gently whirring strings, and take on the form of multiple sighs of relief being unleashed at once. Its almost as if one can hear the group's devoted fanbase brought to an anticipated hush, and who could blame them? Since their 1999 breakthrough Ágaetis Byrjun first caused a stir on a global level, Sigur Rós have – for better or worse – followed their own unique trajectory, irrespective of passing cultural ephemera; a ...

The tenor pays tribute to the legendary baritone, who died on Friday aged 86 Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was a titanic figure and a mirror of his age. Hearing of his death today at the age of 86 it was the singing I thought of, of course, and the little of it I managed to hear live. Recitals on the Southbank in the 80s – a Meeresstille (Becalmed at Sea) of Schubert, so whispered that every member of the audience leant imperceptibly forward to catch the thread of sound he so miraculously spun. The most terrifying Erlkönig I have ever heard or, indeed ...

1888: Gabriel Fauré - "Agnus Dei" by J Monk on 05-17-2012 Fauré wasn’t a composer I’d heard much about before I discovered “Agnus Dei” (lamb of God) from his Requiem . I was impressed by the stately procession of mini-movements within the piece; the unexpected transitions in mood and the way the melody twists through major and minor crescendos, making the choir of singers appear to be on a perilous journey with a major key resolution just out of reach. The more famous movements are the “In Paridisum” and “Pie Jesu,” but the “Agnus Dei” is the one that harnesses ...

I came across vigilance on a metal forum I frequent, and they were gracious enough to send me their debut EP, Steeds of Time , for reviewing purposes. The band hails from Slovenia and vend a style of old-fashioned metal that owes it's core to the likes of Iron Maiden , Motorhead and others of their ilk. Ballsy, speedy, with a serious emphasis on melody, Steeds of Time contains five very well put-together tracks that should help make a name for the band. "Vigilance" symbolizes the first taste of the band one gets and it seems a good place to start ...

Dustin Wong Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads [Thrill Jockey; 2012] by Jordan Redmond Rating: Perhaps the most significant moment on the new Dustin Wong album occurs right at the end. After nearly 60 minutes of delicately intertwined, densely layered guitar loops, the former Ponytail guitarist decides it’s time to interject his voice. Words, however, are not required. On Diagonally Talking Echo , pre-verbal yelps and playful hollering reminiscent of Collective">Animal Collective serve as the moment when the wizard peeks his head out from behind the curtain. In a live setting, it was the only moment in which he ...

Is anyone doing well from The Voice? Obviously the procession of hats and brave faces competing have yet to pitch any wares (except, I guess, for the Five Star back catalogue), but the judges are doing very nicely. Gennaro Castaldo, HMV's head of abacus-wielding, explains : "So far Jessie has seen the biggest lift - with sales of her album nearly 100% up on the period before the show started," Gennaro Castaldo, head of press and PR at HMV told The Radio Times. "It tends to be the performing guest artistes featured on reality TV audition shows that normally steal the ...

“I got soul but I ain’t got style,” confesses Brooke Penrose on Saint Jude’s recent single ‘I Don’t Know Why’. That says it all. The Melbourne quintet aren’t latching onto trends or clawing their way towards overnight fame. They’re happy to record this debut album in Penrose’s home studio and concentrate on honouring and inhabiting the slow-burn country-rock tradition of The Band, Flying Burrito Brothers and Beggars Banquet -era Stones. For something cut in a modest setting “over a dozen cold and rainy days”, Saint Jude sounds priceless. Showing off the production wisdom gained ...
