Astral Social Club - Model In A Field of Mud [2008]

@1hxu0svj:

Two of the UK underground's central figures return under the guise of Astral Social Club for this new LP on Textile: Neil Campbell, a veteran of Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sunroof! and other such projects hooks up with ex-Hood member John Clyde Evans (aka Tirath Singh Nirmala) for a glorious meeting of spiritual psychedelia and incisive electronic precision. There are times when you'll think you're listening to a turn of the century Mego recording - perhaps a General Magic album - especially when trawling through the uncompromising digital skipping of 'All That Glitters Is Not Chocolate'. On the other hand, you'll encounter passages of manipulated live recordings featuring a sound palette of Keystone Cops-style speed-up recordings of acoustic guitars, flocks of tweeting oscillators and other such organic, earthy noise sources. It's the meeting of a hard, computerised edge with more naturalistic elements that lends this release its potency, ultimately sounding a little like a Growing LP, but free from the perpetual motion looping that tends to come with that band's turf. Good stuff

Willard Grant Conspiracy - Pilgrim Road [2008]>>Americana, alt-country

@143h75pp:

Longtime Willard Grant fans may have found their last album, 2006’s Let It Roll, something of a shock. Out went much of the artful gothic-folk they’d been distilling since their early days in Boston in the mid-‘90s. In came loud guitars, feedback and nine-minute rock epics.

In that context, Pilgrim Road sounds like the belated follow-up to 2003 masterpiece Regard The End, but with a renewed sense of adventure. Ornate and mournful, it feels too like the work of a classical ensemble. Certainly, with a 20-plus cast of musicians covering off everything from piano to singing saw and “Jerusalem church bells”, it’s an ambitious beast. And with leader Robert Fisher intoning biblically on death, salvation and the hereafter, its themes are similarly weighty.

Produced and arranged by Fisher and Scottish composer Malcolm Lindsay, the mix of violin, cello, pump organ, horns and woody guitars is beautifully interwoven, creating a sombre, intense mood-piece with fleeting moments of uplift. Such a highlight is “The Great Deceiver”, a gospel duet with Fisher and Iona MacDonald pleading for God and saviour before the massed voices of a choir. Or “The Pugilist”, in which Fisher offers up a bleak sermon like a condemned man at a pulpit: “God and devil wrestle for our souls / I’m bowed out and broken / Shot full of holes”. There’s a lovely instant, around two minutes in, where his voice soars skyward as if making a final dash for freedom.

It’s a testament to Fisher and Lindsay’s powers of assimilation that the two covers here – Lal Waterson’s “Phoebe” and American Music Club’s “Miracle On 8th Street” – fit into the chamber-folk whole like they were their very own. On the latter, particularly, Fisher has rarely sounded so tender, his baritone softened by the saddest of trumpets. Full of dark grandeur, Pilgrim Road is exceptional.

Paavoharju - Laulu Laakson Kukasta EP (2008)

@2hvm2te5:

As an accompanying release to the album of the same name, this new three track EP by uncategorisable Finnish band Paavoharju features two exclusive, non-album tracks, including (confusingly) 'Laulu Laakson Kukista' which didn't make it to the final album tracklist. The song meanders in melancholy, folksy fashion, taking a simple, scratchy guitar and piano motifs as a central theme, but it's all been conditioned by that unmistakably bizarre Paavoharju recording style that fills everything with a sense of naïve fairytale wonderment. A breakdown sequence (of sorts) reveals an odd, muffled hammering sound in the background, which could either be construction work going on a few hundred yards away from the studio, or (more likely) what passes for drums in this band. 'Kirkonvaki', as culled from the album, sounds incredibly dramatic, like a church organ recital interrupted by a few stray breakbeats (no half-hearted thumping on this one) and disintegrating cassettes of operatic vocal recordings. It's all incredibly peculiar, though not nearly as much so as the twelve minute live recording 'Kassetti Moskovasta', which could hardly have sounded more comprehensively eroded away, as if ravaged by years of neglect in a musty attic. That's almost certainly not how it came to sound like this though, you get the feeling it was probably recorded a few months ago on an incredibly rubbish tape machine. Regardless, the crumbly, decaying aesthetic matches the spooky atmosphere that hangs over the music. Awesome.

Eleanoora Rosenholm - Vainajan Muotokuva (Fonal, 2008)

@2hvm2te5:

Despite the name, brand new Fonal project Eleanoora Rosenholm is in fact a band, and what a band they are. A trio comprising of Noora Tommila, Pasi Salmi and Mika Rättö the members have honed their expertise lending their talents to Boomkat favourites Circle and my own secret Finnish obsession the Magyar Posse (check them out if you can!) so you should probably already know you're going to be in for something a little bit special. And special is the best way to describe the peculiar, sugar coated disco-pop of 'Vainajan muotokuva' as from the first utterances of Noora's sherbet-sweet vocals you're transported into another land, far away from the troubled pre-apocalypse of our own. This is true escapism, music to dance away the hours at a half-empty club in a run-down town, music to pull you into a lilac dream world usually left for the more twee among us. Part of me would like to link this murderous electro-pop to the 70s sleaze of Glass Candy and their gang of no-wave followers but there's something notably more pure, less fashionable about Eleanoora Rosenholm, and in that I get the feeling that this is a record that will stay with me for far longer than it might initially suggest. Hidden beneath blurts of analogue synthesizer and crisp electronic rhythms are the skeletons of long forgotten love-songs, folk music from another time, early 80s ballads - the music that brings nostalgia, romance and passion no matter what time of day it is. Maybe this isn't the usual Fonal record for most of you, for certain it's a million miles away from Kemialliset Ystavat's oaken musings on world music or Islaja's introverted hums but when you think back to the hiccupping electronic joy of Paavoharju, the foot-stomping no-holds barred excess of Risto or the genre-tripping world of TV Resistori, 'Vainajan Muotokuva' makes perfect sense. Give Eleanoora Rosenholm your attention, and trust me after listening to the first track 'Musta Rusuu' you'll be hopelessly in love…ESSENTIAL PURCHASE.

El de la Badu está bien, al menos la tipa siempre se arriesga en cada album. Prácticamente no tiene dos iguales.

Los Cool Kids molan. Concepto musical bastante original y potencial para hacer algo grande.
