Soft Gems, Mujeres Wea, Spain Rating: 64 by Souad Martin-Saoudi As certified by their Facebook page , Mujeres was formed in 2007 when four friends who met in film school began composing tunes for their movies. After graduation, they decided to follow their creative dream by pursuing rock and roll. With Yago Alcover and Martí Gallén on guitar and vocals, Martín Gutierrez on drums and howling, and Pol Rodellar on bass, this Barcelona-based garage rock act had humble beginnings, basically learning to play their instruments while practicing. But with over 500 shows under their belt, including the inevitable pilgrimages to SXSW ...

One of the defining imprints behind the current indie pop boom, it would be churlish to pin Captured Tracks down amongst the cardigan-clad legions. Sticking to its guns, the Brooklyn label has supported music it dearly loves building up a back catalogue that moves from noise pop to dream pop, with a touch of electronics along the way. Retaining a love for the physical format, the pop song and a fuzzed up guitar riff Captured Tracks has constructed an identity without allowing themselves to be pigeon-holed. Believe it or not, but for a good decade or so the shoegaze genre ...

40. Antoine Reverb - Everything is a foreign language to me In the best of Club Fonograma tradition, every year there's an album in our list that, at least for publishing purposes, we like to refer to as the "hot potato" record of the year. Antoine Reverb's Everything is a foreign language to me was the one record every writer on our staff got its hands into at some point or another, passing it over and hoping the next person would do something proper with it. We couldn't get around it to review it, but collectively, we can ...

La historia de The Beets comienza en Nueva york, cuando se conocen Juan Wauters y Jose Garcia y deciden comenzar a tocar juntos. Poco después la banda se vería aumentada con la incorporación de un nuevo miembro, Matthew Volz, tras lo que comienzan a dar conciertos, actuando junto a bandas de la talla de Pavement, The Vivian Girls o The Mountain Goats. Tras un par de álbumes en el sello Captured Tracks, recientemente han publicado su tercer disco de larga duración, "Let The Poison Out", esta vez bajo el sello Hardly Art Records . Se trata de un disco enérgico, de ...

100. Daniel Maloso - "Hijos de José" Monterrey DJ and self-proclaimed disco caveman Daniel Maloso stands on the ephemeral viaduct between a disco performer and a disco auteur. It’s this stance of Maloso as a sort of middleman that makes him such an interesting (if circumstantial) character in dance music. Because, really, with all the artists moving away from the all-comprehensive and universal magnetism of the genre, when Daniel Maloso sighs that “we are all sons of José,” we’re back to family business all over again. - Reyes 99. Lê Almeida - “Eles estão na minha rua” ♫♫♫ Brazili's youth-rushed Lê ...

The Beets con “Let The Poison Out” si muovono in territori consoni alla loro… The Beets – Let The Poison Out pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES

Glazin', Jacuzzi Boys Hardly Art, USA Rating: 54 by Andrew Casillas I have to admit: I did not like this record. It was a chore to sit through multiple times. Even when I kept delaying and delaying and delaying my review (although maybe one of those “delays” should be attributed to my day job), I couldn’t work up the energy to think through an enthusiastic review. Admittedly, maybe this sort of scuzzy, power-punk-pop-rock wasn’t in my wheelhouse. I was never much of a Gene Vincent-meets-the Buzzcocks kind of guy, either. Regardless, I thought this was a dull listen ...

by Jennifer Kelly A collection of 13 songs about letting the poison out of your system by the Beets, reads the line-drawn cover of this third album from the Jackson Heights band. The art, as per usual by Matt Volz, is colorful and primitive, showing grinning girls murdering ghosts in various ways (cutting... Read More

Both of these tracks came up a while ago on the blog merry-go-round - in fact I have so many posts backlogged from past releases they are starting to grow mould - but I couldn't let them slide by, nor could I decide which one to write about to close out this balmy Thursday, so I'm hitting you with both barrels! First up, it's well known now that I have begun a love affair with Captured Tracks favoured Queens trio The Beets . I love their silly cartoon cover art, their blase attitude, their slacker malaise wrapped up in Black ...

Let The Poison Out, The Beets Hardly Art, USA Rating: 79 by Souad-Martin Saoudi The Beets could easily be described as just another innocent lo-fi act from New York, but this Jackson Heights band of outsiders manages to compose atypical tunes that create an inimitable and infectious slacker rock garage sound and a delirious washed out image. Their loose, laid-back approach has influences as broad as The Ramones (their self-proclaimed idols), The Beach Boys, Queen, Uruguayan cult band Chicos Electricos, and singer songwriter Mateo">Eduardo Mateo. The band was formed in 2008 but the journey started when Juan Wauters, who ...

A gleefully goofy, quirky take on simplistic garage rock hits the mark.

The Beets Let The Poison Out Hardly Art Records [2011] Fire Note Says: The Beets bring the fun back into music on their most accessible and best record to date - Let The Poison Out ! Album Review: I love it when records turn out to be both great musically and tons of fun. This describes the way The Beets approach their music and how their third LP, Let The Poison Out , plays out. The best thing is that it is their second full length released this year and just by inches, Poison surpasses Stay Home [2011] in likability. Even though the ...
