i wish artists these days would wait longer in between releases, maybe not 2 decades..I can't believe it's been since 1991 or so since their last album & they come back like gang busters... Love the new album.
Beach House - Equal Mind
Was apparently supposed to be on Bloom but was cut off. Regardless, song is flames.
i just heard it..James Blakes new track, "retrograde" is just premiering. SOunds amazing, can't wait for him to drop a new album, one of the most anticipated albums of the year for me, after his self-titled debut record.
This week's issue of The New Yorker has a nice little nugget of contemporary music trivia: Phoenix's upcoming record Bankrupt! was mixed on the fabled Harrison 4032 solid-state recording console used to make Michael Jackson's legendary Thriller.
According to The New Yorker, Phoenix guitarist Laurent Brancowitz found the console for sale on the eBay page of owner Clayton Rose, who owns a Christian music studio in Fullerton, California. Upon consulting with the band, they decided they "had to have it" because they "liked the idea of working with a consecrated artifact, as well as having something strange upon which to fixate between albums."
"The most mysterious part to me was that no one else-- no nerd or music engineer or memorabilia freak-- seemed to want it," frontman Thomas Mars told The New Yorker. "There was something a little spooky about him [Rose]. He was very pushy. It seemed like a scam. " After a prolonged and skeptical online back-and-forth with Rose, Mars committed to the console for a price of $17,000 (the original asking price was $32,000) and shipped it to Paris to begin mixing Bankrupt!.
A couple more tidbits from the piece: The Harrison is as "long as a Ping-Pong table and weighs eleven hundred pounds" and Bankrupt!'s original working title was Alternative Thriller. (This seems to be a trend.)
Anyone check the new Jim James album yet?
amazing song, i'm getting more and more hype for the new album.
do yourself a favor and look through this thread, or at the very least skim through it.... I actually just got into some Indie music last night when I was bored and tired of listening to the same stuff over and over. I listened to Gotye's 'Making Mirrors', Goldfrapps 'The Singles' mix, Kimbra's 'Vows' and Chromatics 'Kill For Love'.
As a guy who mainly listens to Rap and Hip Hop I absolutely love this genre of music. Out of the music I listened to last night I think I liked Gotye's. Wasn't really feellin' Chromatics. Goldfrapp had a couple songs that I'd listen to again, and I only got a couple songs deep into Kimbras so I cant give an opinion on that one.
I'm a complete newb to the genre and will read through this thread (that I was excited to see was on here) but does anybody have any recommendations or must listen to songs and/or albums? I prefer a more uptempo approach but appreciate good music either way so any input is appreciated.
