The LA quartet, Bodies of Water, have steadily grown into a memorable act of the indie scene in the last few years, especially around the Ca. zone. They first sparked a few waves with their self-titled EP from 2005, which got a lot of positive critical receptions from well known publications, which, subsequently, eventually helped them sign a deal with a label. Now, the band is prepping the release of their sophomore album “A Certain…
[tag]Radiohead[/tag] has a long history of forgetting conventions and experiencing new things. So there’s virtually little things that could surprise us coming from them. Or so we thought…. Apparently, it seems the video for their latest single, House of Cards, has been filmed projected in a whole different manner, with the help of two ultra-high end technologies Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar. ‘ The Geometric Informatics scanning system employs structured light to capture detailed 3D…
It seems [tag]The Who[/tag] may embark on a tour, of unclear proportions, soon. Lead singer, Roger Daltrey, has expressed his intentions of permanently dissolving the band on multiple occasions and this seems like it will be the last tour the band will ever perform in. So, if you want to see one of the greatest and influential rock’n’roll band in history playing live, this might quite possibly be your last chance. So far only two…
So far, I’m really digging Beck’s new Danger Mouse produced album, “Modern Guilt”, already well passing the 8th or 9th listen (who’s keeping track, eh?). Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my inbox today, to find an e-mail from Beck’s official, notifying me of his latest video, for the first single off Modern Guilt, “Gamma Ray.” When made a synopsis of the song, when we first talked about it, along with “Orphans,” another…
A while back Jack White made some comments in the previous Rolling Stone issue, in which he called the Detroit music scene very “negative and suffocating.” This lead to a swarm of misunderstanding and misinterpretations among [tag]White Stripes[/tag] fans and Detroit citizens alike, especially considering Jack moved from Detroit to Nashville back in 2006. Thing is Jack really loves his home town and the people who live in it, it’s just the music scene that…
I haven’t completed the feature for the last 2 weeks, because both me and Andrei have been kept busy with some nasty exams, fact which could be clearly seen by the lack of activity on the blog. We’re both finished with them (we’ve passed, thank you!) and from now on we’ll get back to our normal schedule. Anyway, to start off the week we’ve got two great artists. First up is [tag]Beck[/tag] with his latest…
Australia’s pop princess is venturing out of the pacific and into the U.S music scene. Delta Goodrem has already made a huge name for herself in Australia, and her major U.S. CD release is set for June 10th from Mercury/Decca. In 2003, Delta took Australia by storm, breaking chart records and becoming one of only a handful of albums to sell over a million copies in Australia. Her first CD, Innocent Eyes, released overseas in…
[tag]Lil Wayne[/tag]’s “Carter III” is doing pretty well on the Billboard, with a few million copies sold aldready, a million of which sold in its first week! Now that’s something and if you want to know how the man’s keep up with all the hype, then the video for his latest single off of Carter III, “A Milli,” might shed some light. First up: Rapping on the street, after all such a busy life doesn’t…
The Montreal based Wolf Parade has always been one of my favorite indie bands, blowing me away right from the start with their extraordinary debut Apologies To The Queen Mary from 2005. Now, just 3 years later, the band is back with their sophomore release, At Mount Zoomer, a more adventurous and exiting attempt then their previous effort. Both of Wolf Parade’s frontmen Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner took some time to pursue a few…
Right at the end of 2007, we’ve made a small preview of the current year, in which we expressed our excitement for what we believe to be a very fruitful year for music. Everybody knows the best releases come in the summer time. That’s when all the big festivals and tours are held and that’s when almost all the great albums get released. Thoughtful as they are, our colleagues from Pitchfork took the time to…
