  • Bueno, cómo lo prometido es deuda dejo alguna cosita más digerible. No recuerdo si el de Taken By Trees estaba posteado, ni si había puesto antes el de Wildbirds & Peacedrums. Pero aprovecho que tocarán en el Tanned Tin y lo pongo:

    Taken By Trees - Open Field (Rough Trade, 2007)

    @9zdr4tjf:

    Almost as if by accident, Victoria Bergsman's aching voice has become one of the most widely known in indie pop. As primary singer and songwriter for Swedish pop outfit the Concretes until last summer, Bergsman featured on at least one remarkable album, 2004's The Concretes. But it was a Target commercial that seared the Ronettes-via-Velvets swoon of the Concretes' "Say Something New" onto TV viewers' consciousnesses. By now, the songstress might be best recognized for her guest appearance on Peter Bjorn & John's world-conquering 2006 single "Young Folks".

    Bergsman's debut under the solo moniker Taken By Trees is her most consistently winning full-length since the Concretes peaked. But if Open Field leads to any similar mainstream flings, they'll still feel like fortunate flukes. Co-produced with PB&J's Björn Yttling, the album exists in its own ecstatically melancholy pre-dawn realm, at once less crowded and more lushly imagined than Bergsman's previous outings. It's personal, introspective folk-pop with the instrumental palette of a girl-group teenage symphony– zithers, euphoniums, mandolins, and harmoniums along with flutes and a string section. Think Pink Moon on a "Be My Baby" scale.

    For all the richness of the orchestration, the songs at any given moment tend to be mostly spare, offbeat, and repetitive, the intermittent violin and cello crests merely making more space for Bergsman's lonely yearning. One-finger piano plonks bring the singer closer to a distant, kindred spirit on "Julia" ("We rarely speak, but I do think of you a lot"). A child could also play the piano part on sing-songy call-and-response "Hours Pass Like Centuries", but the contrast with PB&J's John Eriksson's majestic percussion helps convey the way love can "Leave you singing to the trees/ Then return so suddenly". An untreated acoustic guitar on marvelously sad opener "Tell Me" sounds like it could be in the room with us. "I don't have much trust in the April sun," Bergsman sighs, and turns the Swedish pronunciation of "July" into a bleak pun.

    Crucially, the arrangements are never busy enough to overshadow Bergsman's unmistakable vocals. As cymbals swell and strings drone over "The Legend", there she is, cooing and crying and stretching her syllables in that distant, nearly Nico-like accent, describing a loveless woman who, as if she were a Gabriel García Márquez character, becomes transformed into water-- "Or maybe blood/ Without its red." Within the quiet longing of "Too Young", it can be overwhelming to notice the way Bergsman's voice quivers on the word "fear", or her pealing matter-of-factness on the phrase, "It was not for me." A delicate piano passage grows out of the sadness like May flowers.

    Open Field's many subtleties mean it can't be enjoyed just anytime; it practically demands solitude. The tracks work as mood pieces as well as songs, and the mood is so consistent that it takes time for the craft of each composition to peer through, a silver lining on a gray morning. The best place to start is probably the only song not written or co-written by Bergsman: The album's first video selection, "Lost and Found". With some of the most constantly full production here, it's a lilting chamber-pop gem worthy of its composer, Camera Obscura's Tracyanne Campbell. Then again, another highlight is Yttling's matter-of-factly named "Instrumental"-- an orchestral reminder that, as lovely as Bergsman's voice is, it's only one of several reasons to adore her newest project.

    @9zdr4tjf:
    
    > En apenas unas semanas el debut de este dúo sueco se ha convertido en uno de los descubrimientos más agradables de lo que va de año. Sin apenas recursos, sin ninguna pretensión y con la grandeza de lo simple Mariam Wallentin (voz) y Anders Werliin (batería) grabaron el disco el verano pasado durante dos días en casa de Anders, con su ordenador, la batería y unos micrófonos prestados. Nada más. Y de esa habitación acabo saliendo este Heartcore, cómo un milagro, una pequeña maravilla. Pequeña maravilla mezclada por August Wanngren en Karlstad durante las navidades pasadas y que fue diseñado y posteriormente fabricado en China por un amigo de la banda.
    > 
    > Y así, cón la presencia casi única de voz y percusiones y algún que otro añadido electrónico por aquí y la presencia del sitar y glockenspiel en algunos temas el dúo contruye un mundo propio, dotado de un sonido crudo en algunos momentos y delicado en otros, que fluye sin problemas desde el pop espiritual, al blues o al soul. Con una facilidad natural para atraer al oyente, desde el primer momento hay algo indescriptible que te hace sentir atrapado, su música es de la que permanece dentro durante mucho tiempo.
    > 
    > Y por encima de todo destaca la voz de Mariam, capaz de sonar salvaje, desgarrada, dulce, delicada… Acompañada o llevando ella sóla el peso de la canción, porque a pesar de hablar de música experimental lo que aquí predominan son (enormes) canciones de pop. Me resulta dificil nombrar a ningún grupo, porque aunque cuando los escucho me vienen a la mente nombres cómo Lullabye Arkestra (por el enfoque), PJ Harvey (Doubt/Hope) o Björk (por la voz), no son ejemplos válidos porque su cercanía es muy limitada. En Heartcore nos deslizamos desde el blues de Pony, la crudeza primitiva de Bird o The Window hasta temas cómo The Way Things Go que nos retrotraen varias décadas en el tiempo, pero si hay algo que me ha enamorado de este disco son dos de los temas de pop a cámara lenta más bonitos del año, de esos que podrías escuchar durante horas: The Battle in Water -dónde Anders comparte voz con Mariam- y la impresionante I Can't Tell In His Eyes. Si no te crees que aquí hay algo especial simplemente visita su myspace y compruébalo tú mismo.

    **Uphill Racer - You Will Understand (2007)

    @9zdr4tjf:
    
    > One year has passed since “No Need To Laugh” was released and what again really stands out is the will and courage to experiment. “You Will Understand” is permeated with space sounds which were prevalent though hard to place on the first album and which now contribute to the spherical and inimitability of the latest release. Flora, fauna and film are once again welcome guests in the idiosyncratic structures built out of acoustic guitar, bass, sleigh bells, drums and beats, piano, synthesizer and the voice – the voice which effortlessly blends into the instrumentation and textually as well as melodically bears a beacon in the night.
    > 
    > The 26 year old OLIVER LICHTL once again plays all the instruments himself and sings every word on the album. He undertook field trips into nature armed only with microphone and recorder so that he could capture the essence in order to adorn his cosmos. The power of the sound is most impressive. “You will understand” is a fortress, a refuge, a shield of protection from the world. The pathos of the first album gives way to a more confident and versatile emotionality. This album is a friend to whom you can confide your troubles, which takes you for a ride on a sleigh to the stars – or to a day out in the park. The music smells like freshly cut grass, lifts the listener out of slumber, a perfect companion for a train trip on a sunny day and nevertheless as sentimental as a nosedive onto soft cushions. If the debut album “No Need To Laugh” seduced the buyer to dreaming then “You Will Understand” is a good morning kiss like buds on a tree in spring.

    **Winter Family - Winter Family

    @9zdr4tjf:
    
    > Debut double CDs are usually greeted as a bit audacious, and it probably should be counted as doubly-so when the music contained within them could easily be contained on a single platter. So goes for this self-titled release from spoken word and music duo Winter Family. That's right, the group finds Israeli artist Ruth Rosenthal and French musician Xavier Klaine creating minimal pieces that find her words (in both English and Hebrew) mingling with piano, harmonium, and pipe organ. It's definitely audacious, and quite possibly pretentious, but amazingly they've managed to put together something that's charming at times and deeply hypnotic in others.
    > 
    > The release opens with "Salted Slug," and things are pretty dour as minor-key close-mic'ed piano provides a backdrop for the quiet, breathy words of Rosenthal veer between English and Hebrew in abstract ways, painting an evocative and strange portrait. "Psaume" is even better, with droning wheezes of harmonium layered upon one another while words entirely in Hebrew sound like some sort of mystical and even seductive call.
    > 
    > Considering the somewhat limited palette that the duo works with, they've actually managed to create a highly varied batch of songs. "Nous Les Vivants" is probably the most over-dramatic piece on the entire release, with massive church organs that come crashing down from above while Rosenthal is at her most theatrical. "Republique" also takes advantage of said organs, but is much more successful, stretching out over thirteen minutes and playing on subtle note changes and much more subdued vocal stylings. Oddly enough, the most jaunty song is the downright odd "Auschwitz," which mixes completely bizarre lyrics with playful piano melodies and a mouth harp.
    > 
    > That said, the release does have some soft spots. "Just Like We Said" is essentially a lackluster revisiting of the earlier "Garden" and "So Soon" suffers from a more open live-sound recording that feels completely out of place amongst the other pieces. When the group hits their stride, though, the beauty of their music is simply hard to deny. Both "So Soon" and "Golden Sword" strip things down to just simple piano melodies and words, but they're absolutely gorgeous. Like many debut albums, Winter Family is a bit too ambitious in places, and certainly has a couple stumbles (not to mention the 2CD set, which is a bit annoying considering the entire release spans just over sixty minutes in total length), but it shows a lot of promise as well, and is most likely something quite different than anything you've heard lately.

  • Damon & Naomi (ex Galaxie 500) - Within These Walls (2007)

    @198jdq92:

    Brand new album from Damon & Naomi (Damon & Naomi have an established career, starting as members of Galaxie 500 and Magic Hour): saxophonist Bob Rainey arranged horn and also lush string accompaniment (including cello performed by Helena Espvall of Espers), while the 'silent third member' of Damon & Naomi, Michio Kurihara, contributes his guitar-playing skills throughout. Damon & Naomi have fully realized their ideal of how to be a band. With their own record label, recording their album completely at home, and with a US tour with Boris coming up this autumn, Damon & Naomi have achieved a mastery over their music and careers. 'Within these walls' reflects that newfound freedom, takes new chances, and maintains a fundamental honesty. Never before has the duo been so direct and forthright, nor so musically captivating.

    **Winter Family - Winter Family

    Sinceramente creo que esto se está saliendo de madre, posteamos cualquier cosa sin ni siquiera haberlo escuchado, sin saber si es bueno o es una mierda, tan sólo porque suena ultrararo o está en el sello más in. O quizá no sea ninguno de esos motivos, pero el ritmo de posteos que llevamos aquí es inhumano, es bajarse por bajar y escuchar por escuchar.
    Coño, creo que ya se ha dicho anteriormente, subid discos que sean la hostia, decidnos que son la hostia. Vale más linea y media escrita por un forero que todas las notas de prensa que podáis pegar.
    Al final, y pecando un poco de egocentrismo, todo esto viene a cuento porque el de Winter Family ya lo subí yo hace unas semanas (y dos veces, a petición de Pelukini).



  • Pues lo siento mucho Suarez, muchas veces no me entero de lo que se ha puesto o no. Sólo me paso los fines de semana, aunque muchas veces se han puesto cosas repetidas y nunca ha sido para tanto.

    Con respecto al otro comentario, no creo que nadie esté obligado a seguir el ritmo de nadie. Yo me bajo lo que me interesa y lo que no me interesa ni me lo bajo. Si pongo notas de prensa o reviews es porque se suele pedir y muchas veces, cómo dices, aún no he escuchado el disco y no puedo dar una opinión. Aunque suelo poner cosas que me interesan o conozco, si para alguien son una mierda no tiene porque bajarlo, seguro que a alguno le parece interesante. Yo no voy diciendo por ahí si me parece una mierda lo que postean o escuchan los demás. Se que no es el caso tampoco y probablemnte te este malinterpretando pero últimamente hay mucho comentario de ese tipo y no sé si sobran más los posts con música o los posts criticando por criticar.

    Un saludo

  • Yo estoy de acuerdo con Suarez ésto es un despiporre. La mínimo obligatorio es haber escuchado el disco antes de subirlo ( excepto aquellos discos que son notoriamente esperados claro ), y joder, comentad algo en primera persona, que os ha parecido a vosotros, no hace falta que sea un crítica ni nada por el estilo, con un breve comentario basta. Un poco de vidilla leche, algo que nos motive a bajarnos el disco ( eso Josexiu lo hace muy bien, siempre me acabo bajando los discos que recomienda ).
    En fin, haced lo que os dé la gana, faltaría más.



  • Mi problema es que conozco uno de cada diez discos que colgáis y que mi disco duro tiene un límite. Entonces, aún con la reseña de Pitchfork o lo que sea, no sé muy bien si me va a gustar o si está bien o no.

    Aún así gracias por compartir toda esa música.

    no se como andaras de pasta, pero ahora los discos duros externos estan bastante baratillos… vamos el otro dia en la fnac uno de 500 (que este invierno lo compramos por 199) estaba por 100 euros, así que si dispones de algo de pasta siempre puedes hacer una inversión!
