Literature- Arab Spring

ARAB SPRING by Literature Literature is a pop rock group whose sound has a lotta jangle and a little lo-fi. It’s a familiar angle, but the songwriting is too catchy for me to ignore, reminding me a lot of groups like Smith Westerns. While most tracks on this Literature LP have a happy-go-lucky vibe, they [...]

Giuda

Well the statute of limitations on discovering those hidden gems from 2011 still stands, though it’s getting close. Don't know how this one slipped through the cracks (probably because it was mostly available in Italy) but it’s a damn shame we're just stumbling on it now. Glam made a strong showing in 2011 with Smith Westerns and Mickey pulling from the genre but the Italian boys in Giuda (pronounced Joo-duh) have their steps in place and seem to bring wafts of glitter and leather back with every chord. The album is big and brash with the ...

A Young Band with an Ageless Sound

Smith Westerns – Webster Hall – January 31, 2012 If this winter is going to be remembered as the winter that never was for New York City, we might as well celebrate the unusually mild weather with some music that reminds us of sunnier days. What better band to bring us to these warmer memories [...]

One to Watch: PORCELAIN RAFT

New Music Now The Class of 2012 INTRODUCING - Porcelain Raft is the ethereal pop project of singer-songwriter Mauro Remiddi. We like him not only for the otherworldly sonic meanderings but for the fact that Remiddi, who turns 39 this year - is so productive. I believe the man has produced nearly a handful of EPs and a full-length over the last two years. Each has been more warmly received than it's predecessor. Clearly, Remiddi is making some of the best music of his life right now. The new one; ‘Strange Weekend’ ( Secretly Canadian ) is out now. Unless You Speak From ...

Go See Smith Westerns Play Next Tuesday

In the past couple of years the ridiculously young guys in the band Smith Westerns have nailed the lush, dreamy sounds of Ziggy Stardust Bowie way beyond their age. They grew up in Chicago, not known for its glam scene. Nonetheless, they built on the strong, albeit fuzzy, foundation of their self-titled debut and have [...]

Hype Machine is streaming Porcelain Raft ’s debut full length, Strange Weekend , right now. Let me be the first to tell you, it is the record of the year so far. Mauro has created a timeless romantic record that borders the line between reality and dream. A perfect combinaion of uptempo and downtempo tunes that will have you swooning over and over. The Italian is currently supporting M83 in Europe (HUGE), and will be playing some shows with Smith Westerns in the states later this month.

2011: Μουσικά κομμάτια, part 2

Παραδοσιακά, ο χρόνος στο some beans κυλάει πιο αργά. Όχι τίποτα άλλο, αλλά θα νομίζετε ότι είμαστε παλαιοημερολογίτες που τώρα γιορτάζουν την έλευση του 2012 και ήδη έχουν περάσει τις θηλιές στο λαιμό τους εν όψει της επικείμενης καταστροφής του κόσμου. Βέβαια, από ότι είδα σε μια αφίσα, αυτές τις μέρες πετάνε το σταυρό στη θάλασσα οπότε ακόμα κι έτσι αργήσαμε. Είπαμε όμως, στα αποστκτήρια του some beans ξέρουμε ότι η καλή η λίτα θέλει το χρόνο της. Ιδού λοιπόν το 2ο μέρεος με τα 70 δικά μου αγαπημένα τραγούδια του 2011. 70. Boxer Rebellion - " Caught By The Light " από ...
