«Ακόμα με τις λίστες ασχολείστε; Φεβρουάριος έφτασε!» Αφού τα είπαμε, στο some beans το αγαπημένο μας σύνθημα είναι το «φέεεετααα»! Έτσι και αλλιώς τελείωσε ένας Ιανουάριος με λίγες ειδήσεις και ακόμα λιγότερες σημαντικές κυκλοφορίες οπότε δεν χάσατε πάρα πολλά. Και γιατί να βιαστούμε άλλωστε; Ας αφήσουμε στην άκρη τα αυτιστικά μας που μας επιβάλλουν να είμαστε πάντα στην ώρα μας (αλήθεια από πότε καθιερώθηκε αυτή η ώρα;) και επίκαιροι και ας απολαύσουμε 40 από εμένα και 40 από την uptight (σύντομα κοντά σας) επιλογές από υπέροχους δίσκους. Η καλή μουσική άλλωστε είναι πάντα επίκαιρη. 40. Micachu & the Shapes/ London Sinfonietta - Chopped & Screwed Ο δεύτερος δίσκος των Micachu είναι μια ζωντανή ηχογράφηση της μπάντας μαζί με την μικρή ορχήστρα του Λονδίνου. Μοιάζει με soundtrack τέλους του κόσμου, φοβερά ατμοσφαιρικό, μυστήριο, δυσοίωνο και περίεργο. Η μπάντα ακούγεται σα να έχει παγιδευτεί μέσα στο μάτι μιας μύγας, έχοντας μια ευρυγωνική, κάπως διεστραμμένη και σατανική άποψη για τον κόσμο. Δεν είναι άκουσμα για καλοκαιρινές βόλτες στην παραλία αλλά μια ιδιαίτερη ακρόαση που άλλοτε διαλύεται μπροστά στα μάτια σου, άλλοτε σέρνεται ακρωτηριασμένο λερώνοντας το πάτωμα και άλλοτε προσπαθεί ανεπιτυχώς να ανοίξει τα φτερά του να πετάξει μέχρι να προσγειωθεί με τα μούτρα. Αυτό το ανίερο πάντρεμα κλασσικής μουσικής και απροσάρμοστης pop επιβάλλεται να ακούστει με προσοχή και ενδιαφέρον. Για παράδειγμα: Micachu And The Shapes/ London Sinfonietta- "Not So Sure" 39. Ensemble - Excerpts Γαλλική noire pop μουσική για όλα τα εκλεπτυσμένα γούστα σύντομα σε ένα σινεμά κοντά σας. Ο ενεργός από το 1998 Olivier Alary έφτιαξε κινηματογραφική μουσική για σκοτεινά ρομάντζα, απατεώνες και προδοσίες. Ο Serge Gainsbourg είναι μία επιρροή που αναγνωρίζεται άμεσα από τον ακροατή αν και η προσέγγιση του Olivier δεν προσπαθεί να σοκάρει με την πρωτοτυπία της και την τόλμη της παρά μόνο μοιάζει με πολύ προσεγμένη αναβίωση της συγκεκριμένης μουσικής, με λιγότερα new wave στοιχεία, περισσότερα jazz και πιο ορχηστρική. Επίσης o Alary μαζί με τον Anthony Gonzalez αποδεικνύουν στους Nouvelle Vague πως υπάρχουν Γάλλοι παραγωγοί που πασχίζουν να φτιάξουν καινούργια μουσική. Για παράδειγμα: Ensemble - Excerpts 38. The Field - Looping State Of Mind Πραγματικά πολύ πετυχημένος τίτλος για δίσκο. Ο Σουηδός, τέσσερα χρόνια μετά την αναγνώριση του ντεμπούτου του που εμφανίστηκε σε αρκετές λίστες της δεκαετίας (εμένα η αγαπημένη μου ήταν αυτή που ήταν καλύτερος δίσκος της δεκαετίας μαζί με τους Abbie Gale ;-D), επιστρέφει με συνεκτικά ...

Frictionless production worthy of a physics department renders an affable bit of bingo hall R&B; impossible to have feelings about. Lyrics are more as hackneyed as humanly possible.

Two new mixtapes, Rick Ross' Rich Forever , and Squadda B's Back $elling Crack recently hit the Internet — the former ostentatious and fantastical (still defined by 2010 mega-hit "B.M.F." ), the latter aggressively smooth and confessional (think: "cloud rap"). And they very pointedly pull street rap in dramatically different directions. A stop-gap release between last year's Teflon Don and the upcoming God Forgives, I Don't , Rich Forever finds Ross typically referencing guns, drugs, and snitches. Though, in a fascinating postmodern turn, his drug-lord persona also takes a backseat, as he mostly talks about the money he's ...

Radiohead have just been announced as one of the headliners at this year's Coachella festival in California. Here, in our latest visit to Rock's Backpages – the world's leading archive of vintage rock journalism – Clare Kleinedler describes meeting the band when they were on the cusp of fame in May 1996 Britpop. It's all over the place, all of a sudden. There's Oasis, the Beatles' rip-offs trying to emulate the Rolling Stones' drug-taking, groupie-filled past. Then there's Blur, the self-described "middle-class" darlings of the UK music scene who just can't seem to make a ...

Newcastle singer-songwriter Trev Gibb had David Brewis of Field Music work with him on his self-titled debut album ( see Bandcamp page for details ) and that band's subtly complex melodic sense is reflected here alongside a richly expressed introversion with shades a 4-era Walker">Scott Walker plus hints of Mark Eitzel and Elliot Smith. In its own unobtrusive way Gibb has constructed a DIY patchwork of real feeling and oblique directness. Are You Tryin' To Fall In Love by Trev Gibb

Whitechapel group S.C.U.M. have spoken to ClashMusic about the possibility of new material. The world is moving quicker than ever. Musical trends come and go in the blink of an eye, with bands struggling to keep up. S.C.U.M. released their debut album 'Again Into Eyes' less than 12 months ago, but the Whitechapel band are already hard at work on new material. Chatting to ClashMusic writer Marianne Gallagher, frontman Tom Cohen explained that the band are approaching new sessions hesitantly. "We’ve definitely taken a lot from everything we’ve done before; we’ve ...

Bringing doomy, trippy atmospherics straight from the darkest depths of Whitechapel – S.C.U.M. are a band that only operate in widescreen. With the release of their latest ‘Again Into Eyes’, this collective – named after a feminist call-to-arms by the writer who shot Andy Warhol – delivered a riposte to nay-saying critics and doubters. Incorporating influences as diverse as No-Wave legends Suicide and soundtrack music, they merged them together to create one of the most original works released this year. Now, as they tour the world, they’re continuing to release music in snapshot form with the Signals project. ClashMusic ...

Er bestaan veel lovende uitspraken over Londen, zoals van Samuel Johnson, te vinden in het museum of London, gelegen vlakbij het Barbican Centre: “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” In Londen is er altijd genoeg te zien en te horen, zo bleek tijdens mijn bezoek in de week van 12 december. Er zijn enkele bijzondere tentoonstellingen die nog doorlopen tot begin volgend jaar. Een aanrader is Gerhard Richter in Tate Modern . Sonic Youth heeft één van zijn Kärze schilderijen gebruikt voor de cover van ...

The follow-up to Matt Bailey’s 2010 debut * The Three I’s is an eerie exercise in dark minimalism, which sees the Melbourne-based songwriter move away from guitar-based folk rock. His customarily relentless rhythmic chug is replaced by a warm and intimate electric piano. The only additional instrumentation comes in the form of a variety of wind instruments played by renowned jazz improviser Adam Simmons, and the spectral vocal harmonies of Raquel Solier, Nicole Hurtubise and Monica Sonand. Instead of utilising the space created by his self-imposed musical constraints as a way to open up the songs, Bailey uses it ...

Walker">Scott Walker is in the recording booth right now!! I say so because I know so. I know so not because I saw the man wheeling his meat-punching apparatus into the studio but because 4AD, his label for the last few releases, posted this on his timeline: “2011 — Scott begins to record his new album for 4AD Records.” I remember that part of his career!! It was a really exciting time! Most likely set for release sometime in 2012, the album will close a six-year gap since his last album, The Drift , which was our eighth-favorite album of 2006 ...
