The Divine Comedy sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Ph. The Divine Comedy: Bang Goes the Knighthood. In 2009, Neil Hannon took a break from being the Divine Comedy, got together with Thomas Walsh of Pugwash and started an intentionally short-lived new band called the Duckworth Lewis Method.
The band named itself for a complicated manual for scoring games of cricket, and all of its songs were about the sport. It's a goofy concept, but their album was charming and fun, even if (like me) you rarely had a clue what they were singing about. That side project was basically a lark, but it exemplified the key to Hannon's long-term success as the Divine Comedy: He's dead serious about having a good time.
His ability to pivot quickly from singing jokes with an arched eyebrow to an unironic meditation on death or a favorite cultural icon is unparalleled. And he approaches it all with a sense of unbridled melodrama that sometimes makes the humor hard to separate from the serious musing.

Sia: We Are Born. Originally from Adelaide, Sia Furler moved to the UK in the mid 1990s to launch her career as a downtempo R&B artist, gaining attention first as the voice of Zero 7 and then as a solo artist with the odd hit single.
But over 10 years and four studio albums, Furler has slowly moved away from the effervescent ballads associated with songs like Zero 7's "Destiny" and her biggest solo hit, 2006's "Breathe Me". And according to Furler, We Are Born is the album she's wanted to make since 2006's Colour the Small One. Sia - We Are Born (2010) Wolf Parade sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos e. Wolf Parade: Expo 86. Are Wolf Parade a supergroup?
Google seems to think so: It returns some 70,000 results on the matter, including several from this very website. Certainly their lineup is stacked enough for the distinction. Between Spencer Krug, Dan Boeckner, and Dante DeCaro, I count half-a-dozen notable bands past or present, and drummer Arlen Thompson has put in work with Arcade Fire. But supergroups are rarely this prolific, nor this devoid of ego, and Wolf Parade have excelled at reconciling two increasingly distinct songwriting presences to make their music with-- rather than on top of-- each other. This is especially true of Expo 86, the third Wolf Parade record in just under five years. Krug takes Expo's first shot with the chatty "Cloud Shadow on the Mountain", a jumpy, almost paranoiac ramble that that feels closest to the scattershot bluster of his work on At Mount Zoomer.
Wolf Parade - Expo 86. Nina Nastasia sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos. Nina Nastasia: Outlaster. Though Nina Nastasia is known for writing sparse, haunted folk songs, none of her albums have ever sounded plain or unadorned.
She's never limited herself to simply acoustic guitar and voice, frequently working with strings in some form on nearly all of her albums since 2004's Dogs. Outlaster, her latest record, is the first to have a full (if small) orchestra appearing on every track. It's a switch to hear her among so many collaborators when some of her best recent work-- like 2007's You Follow Me, a woefully overlooked and impregnable batch of songs-- was put together with just one, drummer Jim White. The interplay between them was gripping enough to make any listener forget it was the work of only two people. So why the need for so many more? Though Nastasia is still at the center of these songs, Outlaster is the work of musicians listening closely and reacting to one another, and the spirit of collaboration is what gives these songs life. Julian Lynch sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos. Julian Lynch: Mare. Julian Lynch first hit our radar last year with a few promising tracks on the first Underwater Peoples compilation, followed by Orange You Glad, his debut release (and first non-CDR full-length) for the Brooklyn-based experimental label Olde English Spelling Bee.
The record introduced us to his folksy collage-pop aesthetic, but while often beautiful, its low fidelity often felt more like a hindrance than a benefit, and the more traditional song structures could feel slight or meandering. Tender Trap sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos e. Tender Trap: Dansette Dansette. Singer Amelia Fletcher and bassist Rob Pursey's partnership dates back more than 20 years: they were both in the late-1980s twee-punk band Talulah Gosh, found a sound they could stick with at the beginning of the 90s with Heavenly, formed an alliance with multi-instrumentalist John Stanley in the late 90s as Marine Research, and have been calling themselves Tender Trap on record since 2002.
In other words, they've been around a lot longer than the better-known band with the similar name. Dansette Dansette, though, is the first album they've released since the rise of the Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls and Brilliant Colors and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart-- the new generation of groups that are operating more or less in the barrettes-in-the-hair mode Fletcher's various bands have been occupying for a few decades. That puts Fletcher and Pursey in the curious position of having stuck around long enough to see the revival of what they've been doing all along. Maps & Atlases sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photo. Maps & Atlases: Perch Patchwork. Maps & Atlases released a few EPs before Perch Patchwork, their debut full-length, and the band has done a fair amount of growing up in the meantime.
Those early releases were classic math-rock, typified by busy guitar lines borrowed from 90s bands like Don Caballero. Maps & Atlases are far from the only band from Chicago to use that sound as a starting point, but they're one of the few to try and move it forward and successfully translate it into pop songs. Perch Patchwork almost leaves the flashy musicianship entirely behind; when it is there, it puts it to good use-- here they turn their quirks into something diverse and accessible.

Magic Bullets sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos. Magic Bullets: Magic Bullets. On their sophomore full-length, San Francisco's Magic Bullets take careful, well positioned steps to revive a sound that marries early 1980s UK guitar pop and 90s college rock.
That specific band names will come to mind when discussing Magic Bullets is unavoidable: The Smiths and Orange Juice are obvious, as are the nods to the sunnier elements of twee. Since these sounds tend to inspire fierce allegiance, referencing them so overtly is risky. And with Magic Bullets, you have to take into account just how close to home some of this stuff hits. Though much of the guitar work here owes at least something to Johnny Marr, it becomes troubling when some of the licks seem practically copied and pasted. Allo Darlin’ sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos. Forest Swords: Dagger Paths. If there's any space left between micro-genres like witch house/drag, hauntology, hypnagogic pop/chillwave, and drone-step, Matthew Barnes has found it.
Forest Swords, the UK producer's one-man project, conjures many ideas associated with those tags-- faded memories, ghostly auras, dream states. His music sometimes feels built from allusions and reference points, but the connections to sources are so elusive that Dagger Paths sounds singular first and evocative of something else second. For me, that "something else" is often another artist who has snuck into a stylistic crevice, Mark Nelson, the Labradford member who works solo as Pan American. Like Nelson, Barnes is adept at picking simple rhythms and sounds, repeating them at a pace both languid and insistent, and folding in texture and volume until each piece becomes sneakily dense. Meursault sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos et. Meursault: All Creatures Will Make Merry. Mp3 blogs are blamed for every music-in-the-digital-age woe: declining CD sales, blink-and-you-miss-it hype cycles, cavalier attitudes towards copyright, loss of paying music journalism jobs.
What you don't hear so much is how these sites create and foster communities-- virtual ones, obviously, but geographical ones too. Like many other indie bands, Edinburgh's Meursault are releasing their new LP on a small, local label. The difference is that Song, by Toad Records is a spinoff of a successful mp3 blog and podcast of the same name. Together they comprise a triple threat that the Scotsman has called the "DIY front-line of the city's homespun and rapidly expanding music scene.

Allo Darlin': Allo Darlin' In April, Pitchfork's Nitsuh Abebe asked, "Have we reached some point where our knees jerk and we kick away anything any critic can write off as cutesy or 'twee' or associate with the wrong movies? " He had a point, of course. After a short burst of enchanting indie pop albums by Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura, the Boy Least Likely To, and many others in the mid-2000s, a cutesy sensibility has gone on to conquer the box office (Michael Cera, Zooey Deschanel) and the Billboard charts (Owl City).
Windsor for the derby sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3. Windsor for the Derby: Against Love. In popular music, the past is fertile ground for plundering. In recent decades in particular, musicians have long spent time building on the post-punk era, then the 1980s. Lately, it's the 1990s' turn to be pillaged as young bands take a second look at the lo-fi sounds, synth-based R&B, and straight-ahead indie rock sounds that were the cutting edge less than 20 years ago. So what do you do if you're a band slugging it out in indie rock clubs that was actually a part of that 1990s sound people are returning to?
They may not have asked themselves that specific question, but Jason McNeely and Dan Matz have answered it anyway by revisiting some old sounds themselves on Against Love, their eighth album as the leaders of Windsor for the Derby.

Wovenhand: The Threshingfloor. In the indie rock world, it's hard to build a career that puts your religion front and center, but David Eugene Edwards seems to have figured out a way of presenting his faith in a way that's palatable to a secular audience. The most important thing is that over the course of about a dozen albums with Sixteen Horsepower and Wovenhand, he's never been a proselytizer. Nor, for that matter, has he been cloyingly worshipful.
Instead, he uses Pentecostal language to explore fear, doubt, and uncertainty. These feelings are universal, and the fact that Edwards is able to call on a preacher's fervor to energize his singing has produced some bracing moments on record. That Wovenhand have landed on a label owned by the Danielson Famile makes sense. Sixteen Horsepower was an interesting band for the way it drew mostly American folk traditions into an aggressive, modern sound. Linfinity sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos et. Linfinity: Martian's Bloom. Laurie Anderson sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Phot. Laurie Anderson: Homeland. Laurie Anderson's 40-year career bucks classification, incorporating performance art, music, spoken word, video, and more. To mention John Zorn, Lou Reed, and Philip Glass only glosses her collaborations with the American avant-garde.
She's also crossed over in interesting and unexpected ways, whether voicing a singing tot in The Rugrats Movie, or hitting #2 on the 1981 UK Singles Chart with "O Superman (For Massenet)", a doomsday anthem combining the vocoder with an aria from Le Cid. Vic Chesnutt sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos. Vic Chesnutt: About to Choke [Reissue] What must the suits at Capitol have thought back in 1996, when they first listened to Vic Chesnutt's debut for the label? Prior to signing, Chesnutt had been an Athens, Ga., fixture, recording with Michael Stipe and writing off-the-cuff songs about locals in the audience. His four albums on Texas Hotel Records had gained him a cult audience that culminated in Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation (The Songs of Vic Chesnutt), a benefit album featuring R.E.M., Sparklehorse, Smashing Pumpkins, and Mary Margaret O'Hara.
Vic Chesnutt - 5 albums. VIERNES sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos et cl. Viernes: Sinister Devices. I used to think that the dreamiest, most escapist music tended to come from the places that needed it the most. But lately I've enjoyed how Washed Out (Georgia), Toro Y Moi (South Carolina), and Surfer Blood (Florida) have repped the South, proving that sounds like these are possible even when you've got good weather and reasonable rent. Viernes, hailing from the artsy Orlando exurb of Winter Park, are an even better test case. I imagine most people would classify them as dream pop, but what makes this album such a strikingly individual debut is how qualities like lucidity and compositional rigor cut against those parameters. Alberto Hernandez and Sean Moore, the duo behind Viernes (the band now tours as a trio), aren't afraid to drift and float, but they do so with complete control.
DRAGOON sur MySpace Music - Ecoute gratuite de MP3, Photos et cl. Dragoon: The Offending Party. Of the many bands that have sprouted from the Grifters, Dragoon may be the most Griftersy of all, building on the soulful lo-fi cacophony of the band's early 1990s material.
