The Diamond Center - Caraway/20Twin 7" '11

2011-06-07T13:47:00.000+03:00

Οι "The Diamond Center" ειναι μια μπαντα απο την Αθηνα της Georgia η οποια κινειται γυρω απο τον πυρηνα των Brandi Price και Kyle Harris, με εναν ηχο καπου αναμεσα στους Spacemen 3, Deerhunter, Beach House, Black Angels και Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Το πρωτο τους αλμπουμ με τιτλο "Claws and Flaws" κυκλοφορησε με την βοηθεια φιλων.

Νιωθοντας την αναγκη για περισσοτερη εμπνευση, μεταναστευουν στο Lubbock του Texas.

Η ερημια του τοπιου και η ατμοσφαιρα της πολης θα αποδειχτουν γονιμες για τη μουσικη γραφη της μπαντας.

Με την προσθηκη της Jana Price, αδερφης της Brandi, ηχογραφουν και κυκλοφορουν μονη τους το δευτερο αλμπουμ τους "My Only Companion", ενα αλμπουμ που αντλει την εμπνευση του απο την μελαγχολια, την πικρα αλλα και την απροσδοκητη γλυκυτητα της ζωης και συνοδευεται απο στοιχειωμενα φωνητικα, μινιμαλιστικα κρουστα, και στροβιλιζομενες κιθαρες.

Με την προσθηκη αρκετων ντοπιων θα καταφερουν να περασουν την ατμοσφαιρα του αλμπουμ και στις ζωντανες εμφανισεις τους και με αυτη τη νεα συνθεση θα ξεκινησουν περιοδεια σε ολοκληρη τη χωρα.

Η Brandy και o Kyle θα μετακηνηθουν για ακομα μια φορα με προορισμο το Richmond της Virginia σε αναζητηση ακομα περισσοτερης εμπνευσης.

Θα τους ακολουθησει ο ντραμερ Tim Falen και θα προστεθουν νεα μελη.

Το 2011 προμηνυεται να ειναι μια συναρπαστικη χρονια για την μπαντα.

Μαζι με την κυκλοφορια πολλων 7ιντσων υπαρχουν και σχεδια για την ηχογραφηση και κυκλοφορια ενος νεου αλμπουμ στα τελη της χρονιας.

Το 7ιντσο "Caraway/20Twin" ειναι η τελευταια δουλεια των Diamond Center, μιας μπαντας που αξιζει την προσοχη σας ιδιαιτερα αν ειστε λατρεις της shoegaze η της psych-folk μουσικης σκηνης.

Reuben Bullock - Pulling Up Arrows '10

2011-05-31T13:35:00.003+03:00

Ο Reuben Bullock ειναι ενας πολυ ιδιαιτερος folk τραγουδιστης/τραγουδοποιος απο το Calgary του Καναδα. Η επιρροη του στην αναπτυξη της τεχνης στο Calgary και στο folk κινημα ειναι τεραστια.
Ειτε διευθυνοντας τον καταλογο της Market Collective, μιας ανεξαρτητης αγορας που δημιουργηθηκε για να αναδειξει τα εργα των τοπικων καλλιτεχνων και μουσικων και να ενισχυσει την καλλιτεχνικη κοινοτητα στο Calgary, ειτε σαν συμπαραγωγος στις ακουστικες ηχογραφησεις video-clip αγνωστων καλλιτεχνων απο ολο τον κοσμο κατω απο την επωνυμια Shot At The Dark, ειτε παιζοντας για ωρες σε γεματες καφετεριες, αδειες σηραγγες, η παλια αστικα λεωφορεια, ο Bullock ειναι μια νεα πνοη για την διαδοση της παραδωσης της χωρας του.
Το ντεμπουτο αλμπουμ του, "pulling up arrows" προσελκυσε ηδη την προσοχη με τις ευθραυστες μελωδιες και την πλουσια στιχουργικη του.
Δουλευοντας με τον παραγωγο/πολυοργανιστα Jay Crocker, ο Bullock χρησιμοποιησε μια μινιμαλιστικη προσεγγιση στην ηχογραφηση του αλμπουμ. Σε μια αποθηκη εργαλειων που εγινε στουντιο ηχογραφησης, το αλμπουμ πηρε σαρκα και οστα με την χρηση αναλογικων συσκευων δινοντας εμφαση τοσο στην διαδικασια οσο και στο τελικο προϊον.
Η φωνη του Bullock ειναι οικεια και αμεση, καταφέρνει με κάποιο τρόπο να συγκριθει με τις φωνες των μεγαλυτερων folk τραγουδιστων χωρις ουτε μια φορα να ηχει μιμητικη.
Η πλουσια, πολυεπιπεδη στιχουργικη του, ακολουθη της απλες μελωδιες της μουσικης του.
Ο θανατος και τροπος που επηρεαζει τη ζωη, η στενοχωρια που φερνει η αγαπη, τραγουδια που μοιραζονται τις αναμνησεις και λενε ιστοριες.
...........μουσικη που θυμαται και ξεχνα.

The Kill Devil Hills

2011-05-26T00:07:00.000+03:00

Οι Kill Devil Hills ειναι ενα 5μελες συγκροτημα απο τη Δυτικη Αυστραλια που σχηματιστηκε το 2003.
Οι συγκλονιστικες live εμφανισεις τους και οι δισκογραφικες τους δουλειες εδρεωσαν τη φημη τους σε ολη τη χωρα και τους απεφεραν πολλες διακρισεις και μουσικα βραβεια.
Εχουν κυκλοφορησει τρια αλμπουμ μεχρι τωρα και αυτη τη στιγμη δουλευουν πανω στο τεταρτο.
Αφου περιοδευσαν σε ολη την Αυστραλια εκτενως αρχισαν επισης εγχειρηματα στο εξωτερικο, περιοδευοντας στις ΗΠΑ και τον Καναδα το 2006, και προσφατα, ολοκληρωνοντας μια οδυσσεια 40 ημερων, μεσω της Δυτικης και Ανατολικης Ευρωπης, επεστρεψαν και παλι στη χωρα τους.
Σπαραξικαρδιες μπαλαντες της απωλειας και της εκδικησης, ενα ξεχαρβαλωμενο banjo, ενα ξεχασμενο βιολι, καπου εκει o Nick Cave συντροφια με τον Leonard Cohen και τον Tom Waits να κλεινουν το ματι στους Beasts Of Bourbon στους Cruel Sea αλλα και στους Triffids.
Εκει οπου τα "βαλτωδη" blues συναντουν το βρωμικο punk και τo rockabilly, και η country-rock την ακουστικη folk ζουν και αναπνεουν οι Kill Devil Hills.
Μια μπαντα που κυματιζει περηφανα τη σημαια της μεγαλης μουσικης παραδοσης της χωρας τους.

The Angelus - On A Dark & Barren Land

2011-05-22T12:12:00.000+03:00

Οι "The Angelus" ειναι μια μπαντα απο το Denton του Texas, δημιουργημα του τραγουδιστη Emil Rapstine ο οποιος εγκατελειψε τον ημι-ψυχεδελικο ηχο της παλιας του μπαντας Coals to Newcastle για χαρη μιας ποιο μινιμαλιστικης προσεγγισης της μουσικης.
Τα τραγουδια που εγραψε με μια ακουστικη κιθαρα θα μπορουσαν να σταθουν και αυτονομα υπο αυτη την οπτικη αλλα αφησε περιθωρια για μια μελοντικη live μπαντα.
Στα τελη του 2000 ενωσε τις δυναμεις του με τον ντραμερ Justin Evans και ξεκινησε να πραγματοποιηση τα επικα του οραματα.
Με την ενθαρρυνση και την ηθικη υποστηριξη του ο Evans, επεισε τον Rapstine να συνεχισει την αναζητηση για τους σωστους ανθρωπους ετσι ωστε να ολοκληρωθει η μπαντα.
Ο James Barker ξεκινησε να παιζει μπασο μαζι τους μετα τη μετακινηση του στο Denton απο το Austin το 2001.Ο Jay Allen προσθεσε το ηλεκτρικο πιανο.Αμφοτεροι αντικατασταθηκαν αργοτερα από τους Casey Clark στην ηλεκτρικη κιθαρα και τον Matt Chaney στο μπασο.
Ακουστικος αρχικα ο ηχος τους αργοτερα απεκτησε περισσοτερο ογκο και ενταση, πολυ κοντα στον ηχο ιερων τερατων της αμερικανικης τραγουδοποιιας οπως οι Woven Hand, The Angels of Light και οι Swans, εχωντας την τιμη να μοιραζονται την σκηνη με τους δυο πρωτους καθως και με τους Akron Family, Calla, The Black Angels, Mono, Do Make Say Think, The Album Leaf.
Η μπαντα κυκλοφορησε ενα ομοτιτλο e.p. στα τελη του 2004 και ενα "ακυκλοφορητο" αλμπουμ με τιτλο "On A Dark & Barren Land" και παραγωγο τον Josh T Pearson απο τους Lift To Experience.
Προσφατα οι τεσσερις τους εγκατασταθηκαν στο Dallas, και ζουν σημερα μαζι σε μια κοινοτητα γνωστη ως "the Chateau Angelus".
Οι γειτονες διαμαρτυρονται για τις ψαλμωδιες που ακουγονται αργα το βραδυ και για τον μακρινο ηχο κουδουνιων.
Τελικα κατι εχει το νερο εκει στο Texas............

The Ragged Jubilee - American Moan

2011-05-18T01:17:00.000+03:00

Οι Ragged Jubilee ειναι ενα εξαμελες Blues/Rock'n'Roll συγκροτημα απο την California.
Kαιρο εχω να ακουσω μια τετοια μπαντα που να με κανει να θελω να βγω εξω και να ουρλιαξω η να μπω στο αυτοκινητο και να τρεξω σαν το διαβολο.
Και τη μπαντα, σαν να εσμιξαν οι Led Zeppelin με τους Gun Club και οι Doors με τους 16 Horsepower.
Δεμενος ηχος, γεματος ενεργεια, με εναν ντραμερ να χτυπαει μανιασμενα της μεμβρανες σαν να ειναι τα τυμπανα του πολεμου και ενα μπαντζο να φτυνει τις νοτες μια μια πανω στην στιβαρη ταστιερα του μπασου με τους ξεφρενους ρυθμους της ακουστικης κιθαρας να συναγονιζονται τα καψαλισμενα reef της ηλεκτρικης.
Και αυτο που πραγματικα κανει το ακουσμα τους μια μοναδικη εμπειρια ειναι η εκφραστικη δυναμη του τραγουδιστη Ethan Burns.
Η φωνη του δεν ειναι ομορφη αλλα βραχνη "μπαρουτοκαπνησμενη", σαν τη φωνη του Joe Cocker.
Δεν μπορεις να φανταστεις οτι ανηκει σ 'αυτον τον πιτσιρικα αλλα σε καποιον που περασε μια ολοκληρη ζωη μεσα σε σκοτεινα καταγωγια καπνιζοντας στριφτα τσιγαρα και πινοντας Bourbon και εχουν δει τα ματια του τοσα πολλα που δεν φτανουν ολα τα μπλουζ του αμερικανικου νοτου να τα τραγουδησουν.

Η "The City Kill" ειναι μια ανεξαρτητη post-punk/noise rock μπαντα απο την Κοπεγχαγη που αποτελειται απο τρεις Δανους και εναν Αυστραλο.

Η θεματολογια των τραγουδιων τους εχει να κανει με καταδικασμενους ερωτες και την αποξενωση, συνοδευομενη απο το συνεχομενο βουητο της κιθαρας, τα τελετουργικα τυμπανα και της σφιχτες γραμμες του μπασου.
Το συγκροτημα δημιουργηθηκε στα τελη του 2007 απο τους Δανους Signe Elin Gram, Bjarke Mønsted και Tobias Bendixen, και λειτουργουσε σαν τριο μεχρι την προσθηκη του Αυστραλου Matthew Moller, στα τελη του 2008. Οι πρωιμες demo ηχογραφησεις τους, και η φημη των live εμφανησεων τους τραβηξαν την προσοχη της ανεξαρτητης εταιριας Red Tape με εδρα την Κοπεγχαγη, η οποια επεβλεψε την κυκλοφορια του ομοτιτλου ντεμπουτο LP τους το Σεπτεμβριο του 2009.
Τον Ιουνιο του 2010 το συγκροτημα αποσυρθηκε στο στουντιο για την ηχογραφηση του πολυ αναμενομενου δευτερου αλμπουμ τους με τον τιτλo "Days Foul of Joy"ο οποιος και κυκλοφορησε απο την Red Tape τον Φεβρουαριο του 2011.

Μια ακομα μπαντα που ειναι κριμα να περασει απαρατηρητη.
Καταγονται απο το Norwich της Μ. Βρετανιας και ανακατεβουν το post-rock με την folk με μια μικρη βοηθεια απο την americana και ενα γαρνιρισμα απο electronica οπως αναφερουν στο facebook.Συγκροτηθηκαν πριν απο πεντε χρονια και μεταμορφωθηκαν απο ενα alternative-folk ντουετο σε ενα electronica, post-rock, folk, και americana κουαρτετο.Χρησιμοποιουν βιολια, ακορντεον, μπαντζα, φλαουτα και μεταλλοφωνα περα απο τα κλασικα οργανα, και δημιουργουν ομορφα ηχοτοπια ιδανικα για να χαθεις μεσα τους.Αν τυχον πιαστειτε στον ιστο τους μη φοβηθειται, το δηλητηριο τους δεν ειναι θανατηφορο.

O ηχος τους κινειται στη σκοτεινη πλευρα της φολκ σκηνης με μια δοση πειραματισμου με την στοιχειωμενη φωνη του τραγουδιστη Scott Ferguson αλλοτε να βγαινει μπροστα απο τα τραγουδια και αλλοτε να ακουγεται σαν ψιθυρος κατω απο τους μελαγχολικους ηχους της ακουστικης κιθαρας.
Δυσκολος ηχος για αυτη την εποχη, τωρα που πλησιαζει και το καλοκαιρακι, αλλα ιδανικος για αυτους που αρεσκονται σε σκοτεινα ακουσματα που δε σε ριχνουν αλλα σε ταραζουν συναισθηματικα.

Eli August

2011-02-08T01:09:00.000+02:00

Eli August creates music with zeal and energy, focusing on mood, tonality and lyricism. The songwriting mines memories of past regrets and failures to create melancholy aural set pieces that are sincere, passionate and some times dark, but never completely devoid of redemption.

There is a tangible sense of urgency in the music that flows throughout the songs. Many of the works carry the sobering notion that life may never be as good as it once was, but there is still reason to carry on.

2010-12-01T00:32:00.000+02:00

(Madrid, Spain). Every track from Marcus Doo and the Secret Family leads you to a very different journey, each of them full of monsters, beauty and love. Marcus has a rich inner life that keeps surfacing with new self-revelations. He lives life through this musical language. The Secret family members care after his tough and elegant fragility being as truthful and as polyhedral artists as Marcus is; they have found a very personal way to blend this complex intellectual and emotional life with the world surrounding them.This sound, so intimate and truthful can surprise and sometimes scare. This is different. This is true. This is something real. "last.fm"

Playfellow

2010-11-01T23:47:00.000+02:00

Playfellow has already established a very strong position with its first album "Penumbra". Their second album "Carnival Off" only confirms the raw energy of the debut this time covered into much more intricate compositions, harder to get through but the more beautiful. This 5 piece with their shimmering guitar and keyboard soundscapes which can mutate into a massive wall of beautiful noise, combined with the haunting vocals of Toni Niemeier and Katharina Mey, is a young band from Germany. And their music has already become something very hard to pin down…which is always a good sign!

HUMANWINE

2010-10-20T13:39:00.000+03:00

HUMANWINE is a band based out of Boston, Massachusetts. Their name is an acronym of the phrase, "Humans Underground Making Anagrams Nightly While Imperial Not-Mes Enslave".This is a reference to the subtly-coded lyrics that comprise most of their songs. Founded in 2002 by Holly Brewer and Mat McNiss, this band features a rotating lineup of supporting musicians. "wikipedia"
The Muzik of HUMANWINE is fluid and changing with each line up. Often 1 or more players on stage will be playing together for the first time and that methodology is the fabric of what makes them so special from their approach to songwriting through their presentation of their work whether it be in live performances or the videos and mini movies they create.

Woodcat - s/t

2010-10-16T18:18:00.000+03:00

Woodcat is a dark folk band from Minneapolis,U.S.
Produced by local Americana enthusiast Robert Skoro, “Woodcat” was apparently recorded inside a fishtank, giving it the claustrophobic and harrowing atmosphere of dread endemic to the genre. There are multiple modern day touchpoints for “Woodcat;” what sprang immediately to mind, though, was Christian gloomsters 16 Horsepower crossed with the Violent Femmes’ second album “Hallowed Ground,” minus the fun songs.
The male vocals eerily ape Gordon Gano with shrieking female counterpoint somewhere at the intersection of Thalia Zedek (Live Skull, Come) and the banshee wails of Bjork. "myspace"

Slim cessna's auto club - Buried behind the barn

2010-10-09T19:48:00.000+03:00

Slim Cessna's Auto Club is a alternative country/gothabilly band formed in 1993 in Denver, Colorado. The constant in the band has been Slim Cessna, formerly a member of The Denver Gentlemen along with David Eugene Edwards and Jeffery-Paul of 16 Horsepower "wikipedia"

Somewhere on the backroads of America is a crossroads where the roots of American music cross with punk sensibilities. This crossroads has spawned numerous bands over the years, bands that employ the style of music that America was founded on, but twist them to their ideal. The sound has been spawned and propagated by bands like Murder by Death and Th’ Legendary Shackshakers, but perhaps none has done more with the sound than Slim Cessna’s Auto Club.
On Buried Behind the Barn, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club has collected and re-released a collection of songs once only available on a limited edition CDR from 2004, songs that would be reworked for later albums into something drastically different. "punkmusic

Themes - The Phantom

2010-08-27T12:35:00.000+03:00

THEMES creates a lush sound scape of proto folk rock mixing thick Baritone
guitars, heavy piano driven arrangements, and fiercely pensive rhythms, while male and female vocals intertwine, weaving colorful blankets of stories filled with an ageless haunted insight, that somehow, seems urgently necessary in today’s world. While striking a thoughtful tone, THEMES draws many comparisons to such greats as Nick Cave, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Grace Slick, and Neil Young.

THE DEEP FREEZE MICE
The Deep Freeze Mice were an English New Wave band that were active between 1979 and 1989. They were based in Leicester, and consisted of the core members Alan Jenkins (guitars and singing), Sherree Lawrence (organ and other keyboards), and Mick Bunnage (bass guitar). The band had two different drummers over the years: Graham Summers and Pete Gregory.
The band released 10 albums during their existence on their own labels: from 1979 to 1983 on Mole Embalming Records, from 1983 to 1989 on Cordelia Records. Their music was odd, often consisting of absurd and surreal lyrics delivered in Alan's deadpan voice accompanied by bouncy pop/progressive rock music. Favoured lyrical concerns included animal rights, conformity, and science fiction. "wikipedia"

Needless to say the tour with Sigur Rós attracted the attention of a lot of promoters which landed them a showcase slot at Eurosonic at the start of 2009 and a months headline tour in Europe early summer last year Spending the rest of the summer writing a new album FaMR chose the Sigur Ros studio in Iceland to record 10 new songs with LA producer Scott Hackwith.

Hail seizures - for the ruin

2010-07-14T14:03:00.000+03:00

The Hail Seizures translate dark punk and underground hardcore into acoustic instruments. There is a slipshod and improvised characteristic to their lineup: bottom of the line acoustic guitars, a drumset made from a suitcase, a childs violin and an old cello that clashes wildly with the ornately composed songs, that jump back and froth between catchy sing along choruses to brutal and lopsided rythyms that you would expect more from your local metal band than any normal folk act.

Gothic Americana/ Alt-Country/ Dark Cabaret

2010-06-10T11:46:00.000+03:00

We read from forum:
"Just wondering if anyone else on this forum is a fan of the growing "Gothic Country" trend that's been emerging since the early 2000s. For those who are not aware of this growing trend it's essentially country music that's taken a far more rustic approach to country music and the songwriting has taken a more dark tone. Songs about murder, abuse, alcoholism, and tragedy often make up the song matter". blogger

if interested here are some bands (in alphabetical order):
