Murder By Death - Finch

Artist: Murder By Death
Album: Finch
Year: 2009

A book with an official soundtrack? A bit odd. But having it composed and performed entirely by Murder By Death? A bit awesome. Having 7 instrumental tracks inspired by the book 'Finch', "a sci-fi novel along the lines of BladeRunner" (note that Blade Runner is a movie, not the book Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?), Finch is quite the pleasure to listen to. Full of tension and a distinctly cinematic feel I can't help but wish MBD would do a OST for everything I do in life.

I'm also coping out a bit by linking to a blog I've recently run across. Some good stuff there, so dig around a bit.

I up'd this album for a friend and figured, hey, might as well post it here. Well, a lazy post at least. Here's the track that introduced me to them (and also on the Late Night Tales: Belle & Sebastion mix). It's got some dub, it's got some funk. What's not to love?

cave in - jupiter

Hey kids! It's been a while since i posted anything for you, so here's an album by the late, great Cave In.

Early in their career, the band played crushing hardcore with crunchy guitars and occasional rocking melodies. Somewhere along the way, they decided to drop the hardcore thing and make spaced out rock with heavy guitars and some metal undercurrents.

Jupiter is probably my favorite of their un-hardcore days, this release containing demo versions of "Stained Silver" and "Rubber and Glue" (titled "Bigger Riff" here) from the follow-up album Antenna. These versions are better than the ones that made it to Antenna, in my opinion.

ANYWAYS, just check it out. It's a solid album from a solid band.

Ajattara - Noitumaa

Everyone who knows Finlands Ajattara knows of hateful metal about whores, hell and sin. well. this album is a bit different. Still the same old hateful Ajattara but.... acoustic. and with a Didgeridoo no less. And the bass parts played on a Nylon String acoustic. I had my doubts and they were squashed. Its nothing less of amazing. This is quite a huge departure from previous albums and it turned out very well. Good on them for taking a chance like this. Ikuisen Aamun Sara has even been described by some as "Tribal Rape Music"

18. Epilogue

This is the second CD packed in with the OST for the anime series Paradise Kiss. It is comprised of singles from the Japanese indie band The Babys over the years, since Paradise Kiss used these as background music during some scenes in the show (and the vocalist is a voice actor for one of the main characters).

If you're into softer J-rock at least give a few tracks a listen like Alien, My Little Girl, RRPP, Kimi no Yoru, and Romantic na Speed de.

Eikichi Yazawa - Loser

Track Listing:
1. Loser

This is Eikichi Yazawa's (矢沢永吉) latest single that was released earlier in the year. It was the theme song used for SEGA's newest installment in their Ryu ga Gotoku series (or Yakuza, as it's renamed in the United States and Europe). It's more upbeat then rock, though. But still a great single from the legendary Yazawa.

Leviathan - A Silhouette in Splinters

Band: Leviathan
Album: A Silhouette in Splinters
Genre: Dark Ambient
Country of Origin: USA
Year: 2005

Track Listing:

1. Traveling Over The Ocean's Skull
2. It Comes In Whispers (Part II)
3. Particular Dis-ease
4. Shimmering With Horn Of Woe
5. A Silhouette In Splinters
6. Blood Red And True Part II (A Spell To Vanquish Sea Serpents)

On this 44 minute long EP, Wrest takes Leviathan out of the project's usual raw Black Metal and explores a similar aesthetic with Dark Ambient. Much of the music is created with guitar strains and feedback, lending an almost Drone feel to it.

The Dear Hunter - Act 1: The Lake South, The River North

The Dear Hunter's debut. Layered and complex instrumentals make up the musical heart of the album, primarily in the style of progressive rock but also incorporating elements of orchestral music, blues-rock, jazz, ragtime, and ambient, sometimes several times in the space of a single song. The vocals are similarly varied, with pop-ballad sections giving way to dense harmonization that would shame a barbershop quartet.

The album is also a concept album, the first in a set of 6 telling the surreal story of the titular character The Dear Hunter.

I like this one a lot, but Act II (The second album) is better in my opinion.

like the raveonettes? wondering how you didn't hear about this album? well don't feel bad, apparently no one really did. and sune seemed to be pretty okay with that, as the release of this album was about as low key as the album itself. maintaining his lo-fi sound from the raveonettes, but presented in a more shoe-gaze fashion, this is some norweigian goodness that sounds a bit like sigur ros having a love affair with the 60's.

Aushvitz/Spinal Cord - 2002-2006

Better known for his work in the band Galneryus and Animetal Syu has another project up his sleeve. Started in 2002 under the name Aushvitz it was a slow going project from the start. But the music doesn't lack in anyway. An eclectic mix of Extreme Metal, Shred, and Hard Rock. The downside? Every release is a single with no album even on the horizon. Recently the name was changed to Spinal Cord after a long hiatus with a promise to kick it into high gear. With another single late last year and no info from the bands side again it's not looking good. But for now enjoy whats out

Simply put, it's summer, and what a disservice I would be doing if I didn't share an excellent album to kick start the hot months.  Not much else gives me the feeling of freedom and possibility with as much zest as a good ol' T.Rex album.  T.Rex is one of those bands that should have been/should be more popular than they are.  Marc Bolan is simply fabulous, and definitely a must on everyone's summer evening play list.

mixing in some olde tyme folk and neo psychedelic sounds the coral had an original hit in 2002 with their debut album. what's happened since then? well honestly nothing all that notable some four or five albums later. admitidedly after nightfreak and the sons of becker i didn't feel there was any reason to keep up to date with them. but that doesn't change what once was. genre splicing and sound blending, this album is fantastic. by all means though don't let me tell you what to think about their later albums. feel free to update me on their latest.

Fin de Siècle - Nine Barns

Band: Fin de Siècle
Album: Nine Barns
Genre: Neofolk/Ambient/Experimental
Country of Origin: France
Year: 2007

Track Listing:

1. Introduction
2. Fearless Femme
3. Summertime
4. Prison
5. Daddy
6. Interlude
7. Lonely
8. Nine Barns
9. The Feast
10. Stranger
11. Night Hawks
12. Summertime 2
13. Ashes
14. Epilogue

I can't find any samples anywhere, Fin de Siècle weren't exactly well known. Nine Barns was their last album and is really a quite beautiful, interesting and eerie Ambient album that sometimes boarders on Neofolk in a few songs. The ambience is mostly created through wonderfully creative violin, guitar and drum work, with sound clips and backing synth in many places added to it. The wonderful, intense and eerie atmosphere the violin work of Florence Cailleux can create is especially noticeable on tracks like "Fearless Femme" and "Prison". "Daddy" is an incredibly intriguing musical adaption of Sylvia Plath's poem by the same name, with a recording of Sylvia Plath herself reading the poem placed over Ambient music. If you're interested in something experimental, interesting and absorbing, give this a listen, but skip it if you don't plan on sitting down and opening yourself up to every second of the music.

This is what I consider to be one of the best things Iron & Wine has done.  For an EP, it's so solid, and it sounds like a mix between their old low-fi sound, and their current, over-produced smoothness that now encompasses their albums.  "Jezebel" is my favorite Iron & Wine song, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen, even if mellow isn't your thing.

OtWatM's third album and maybe my favorite. It also has one of the coolest covers I've seen, and giving it a good look I think enhances the feel of the music. Something about the atmosphere of the cover mixes exceptionally well with the feeling of the music, something Kim did with Nighttime Nightrhymes as well. Has a sequel to the earlier track "Reficul" ('Lucifer' backwards). Enjoy.

6. Border (Spiritual Front)
7. Dreaming Of My Scarlet Woman (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio)
8. The Pleasure Of Pain (Spiritual Front feat. Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio)

Split between two of my favorite Neofolk bands, the idea of which formed when the leaders of the two bands met at an orgy in Germany. Satyriasis is the male version of nymphomania, and as is to be expected, many of the songs are very erotically charged, though this is a common aspect of both bands' music. Both the individual songs and the two collaborative efforts are fantastic, and the ORE songs are some of my favorites of theirs. Highly suggested.

8. Video Girl
9. La Reine Trayeuse
10. Amesoeurs
11. Au Crépuscule de Nos Rêves

Amesoeurs first and last album and crowning achievement, for the most part is sounds like the songs "Faiblesse Des Sens" and "Les Ruches Malades" from previous releases, the latter of which has been rerecorded and holds the spot of track 2. The album beautifully blends Post-Punk and Black Metal together, with most songs leaning towards the former as mentioned, with Audrey's singing. Neige's shrieks appear on "Recueillement", "I XIII V XIX XV V XXI XVIII XIX – IX XIX – IV V I IV" (Amesoeurs-Is-Dead; the most Black Metal song on the album, which would fit better in a Peste Noire album, really) and "Au Crépuscule de Nos Rêves". Wonderful ending to the band and finality of their sound.

Illicit Dissent - Illicit Dissent

Artist: Illicit Dissent

Album: Illicit Dissent

Genre: Punk

Country: CANADA

Year: 2009

Track Listing:

1. Illicit Dissent

2. Fuck Fukuyama

3. Peace NOT Pacifism

4. Egos and Assholes

5. New Age Cartesian Theory

6. What's Sovereignty?

Illicit Dissent is Tyler Haiste (drums), Neil Pighin (guitar, vocals), Spencer Hammond (bass, vocals), and Magda Partyka (vocals). Hailing from Prince George, BC, these four are Canadian punk rock at its finest. There isn't much more to it than that. You probably won't meet any other guys in a punk band that are more gentlemanly, and I daresay you'll never meet a girl with more piss and vinegar than Magda.

Indulge.
