The Fashion "Like Knives" VIDEO

En mi carpeta de canciones estaba esta canción. No suena nada mal,por lo menos es bastante pegadiza. Se incluye en el disco The Fashion de la banda con igual nombre, y en un recopilatorio llamado Snazzy Vol. 10, que incluye otras canciones de Likke Li, Noah and the whale, entre otros.

-Now or Heaven (Merge Records, 9/9/08)


1-Gwen, Now and Then 03:55
2-Auctioneer 03:34 MP3 (Info en Filter-Mag.com)
3-Elm City 03:54
4-Ambuscade 03:45
5-Perfect Games 03:13
6-House of Lies 03:44
7-The Smartest Man Alive 03:44
8-Got It Bad 04:29
9-Terror for Two 04:04
10-Embassy Row 05:12

Their sophomore full-length originates from home - the longing to get there and all that comes from being there. Each song is a maturation from the band's debut. The familiar catchy melodies are still there, as are the sublime harmonies and wry guitars, but "Now Or Heaven" is infused with a deeper, more serious perspective of the world.

Puedes escuchar el disco entero durante un tiempo en Merge Records. Pop-up!/Full stream for a limited time only.

Info recogida en su MySpace:

Hailing from Oregon, Ohio, and DC, and Forming in early 2008 in NYC/Brooklyn, in Cadeo is a fresh dose of kick-you-in-the balls/face/balls kind of indie rock. Having just released their self-titled debut EP in April 2008, they will be releasing their first full-length album in November.
---

"...Coming on like a more bombastic version of The National..."
- badmarmalade.com
---
"Like most good bands, in Cadeo manages to make new songs sound elemental. The delicious yet distorted structure of their songs seems rooted in older indie giants like Guided By Voices, Built to Spill, The Pixies..."

"on in Cadeo's five-song EP, one can hear this constant desire to shred away the catchiness of the hooks, just like their musical uncles sometimes do. This melodic thrashing is as close to an American rock'n roll song-writing tradition as might be said to exist."

"This is one reason in Cadeo rocks: in the urgent schizophrenia of extremely rapid progression changes, one can hear more than one song."
- Justin Rogers-Cooper (The Digital Contagion of in Cadeo)

Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.co.uk
It’s difficult not to like Danish six-piece Alphabeat. Their retro-fuelled ‘wonky pop’ is pure optimistic fun of the kind that only po-faced too-cool-for-schoolers could possibly diss. This Is Alphabeat is a version of their platinum-selling Danish release minus some of the cheesier moments and with three brand new tracks produced by Mike Spencer (Kylie, Beverley Knight, Jamiroquai). 80s-style pop is still very much the motto here, with singles like "Fascination" and "10,000 Nights" manifesting more than just a casual aura of fame school about them. "Boyfriend" is reminiscent of 80s Madonna and the skewed electro of "Touch Me Touching You" is ridiculously saccharine and highly infectious. One of Spencer’s additions is worth noting--a cheerful romp through PiL's "Public Image," chirpy whistling and all, that will undoubtedly make John Lydon purple with rage. This Is Alphabeat packs in the musical clichés for sure, but there’s no denying the band’s zest and sincerity. At only ten tracks, this is a short but defiantly sweet statement.--Danny McKenna

Product Description
Japanese pressing of the 2008 debut album from this poptastic Danish outfit, now relocated to London. Includes four bonus tracks. With their first commercial single release, 'Fascination', selling over 100,000 copies, it's clear that Britain has taken Alphabeat to it's heart. Ever since they made the move from Copenhagen to a shared house in East London, these six young Danes have been winning over critics, club kids, indie scenesters and fashionistas alike with their infectious brand of high-octane, organically produced Modern Pop and incendiary live performances. Now with a bona fide breakthrough single under their belts you know that this band aren't going to stop until they have made 2008 their own. Also includes the second single, '10,000 Nights'. EMI.

Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart



http://www.melodygardot.com/

http://www.notpop.co.uk

Su álbum se llama como la canción que da título a este post.

tracklist:
1. Worrisome Heart
2. All That I Need Is Love
3. Gone
4. Sweet Memory
5. Some Lessons
6. Quiet Fire
7. One Day
8. Love Me Like A River Does
9. Goodnite
10. Twilight

“An impressive introduction to this stunning new talent, Worrisome Heart was produced by Gardot with Glenn Barratt and originally released independently in 2006.
Melody heads into the studio in January 2008 to record her official debut for Verve Records, Produced by Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock).
Gardot’s engaging songs and sultry controlled vocals are provocative and familiar. Melody is cool, sophisticated, inspirational, stylish, articulate and sexy.

“. . . in a place where Billie Holiday meets Tom Waits . . . has moments that recall pieces of Nina Simone, early Rickie Lee Jones, and even the sophistication of Cole Porter. ” - Business Week

Although there are elements of jazz, blues and folk in her music, it is simultaneously all of those things and none of them. Her engaging songs and sultry controlled vocals possess a timeless quality that places them in the tradition of the great female vocalists on Verve, whose work have also not been confined to any one genre or style”

Love Psychedelico

WEB (US)

JAPANESE WEBSITE: lovepsychedelico.net

MySpace

Bio recogida en Last.fm:

The band was formed in 1997 by singer Kumi (born April 11, 1976 in Chiba Prefecture) and guitarist Naoki Sato (born July 21, 1973 in Shizuoka Prefecture‍[1]),while studying at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo. They signed with major label Victor in 1999. In Japan they are often called Delico for short.

Their first album, The Greatest Hits, sold over two million copies.[2] Their second album Love Psychedelic Orchestra, released in January 2001, sold 90,000 copies.

They have released two albums since, Love Psychedelico III, in early 2004, and compilation album Early Times, in February 2005. This best-of compilation received a positive response in the Taiwanese J-pop market and the group visited Taiwan in June of that year. They held a concert in Taipei on June 22 where many fans gathered, including a sizable number of celebrity attendees. It proved to be a very successful concert for the duo who do not usually appear publicly.

Love Psychedelico also toured extensively through the club and bar circuit in the United States, garnering largely positive reactions. American cities the band has said to have enjoyed playing were Nashville, Austin, and Kumi’s childhood home of San Francisco. For the promotion of their new album, Golden Grapefruit, Love Psychedlico will be making their first televised music program appearance on Bokura no Ongaku. It is also notable that they will be interviewed by Yoko Ono, wife of John Lennon.[1]

100% PURE ROCK N ROLL MADE IN JAPAN

THIS IS LOVE PSYCHEDELICO, the forthcoming album on HackTone Records, is the first album by LOVE PSYCHEDELICO to be released outside of Asia.

Kumi (vocals) and Naoki (guitar), two obsessives of the British Invasion and 70 s classic rock, formed Delico (as they re affectionately called by leagues of fanatics) in Tokyo 1997. With an ear for big hooks and even bigger guitar, the duo digested and reconfigured their influences with equal nods to the dance floor, the mod squad, and Laurel Canyon.

Kumi s lyrics slide almost invisibly between Japanese and English, emphasis on the latter. A mistress of the two languages, Kumi is fiercely devoted to creating a third through her music. No throwaway, nonsense choruses. No cartoon caricatures. No stale bubblegum. Instead, it s futuristic rock n roll swagger with a big heart...not unlike Sheryl Crow makin babies with Noel Gallagher to the throbbing flicker of Technicolor strobes.

WORLDWIDE FIRST PLAY OF TAKE BACK THE CITY

Vuelven!! Y lo dice una que los descubrió gracias a su versión acústica de su gran "Run", en el programa Ingravidez de Los40,hace unos añitos. No con su "Chasing Cars", por sonar en Anatomía de Grey. También los descubrí tarde, con su ya 3er disco (si no me equivoco),pero fue antes del poder de la TV.Hoy se escuchará su primer tema. A ver si luego la gente lo cuelga o ellos lo ponen en su MySpace para ver qué tal. Esto me hace echar de menos FlyMusic.Ais.

WORLDWIDE FIRST PLAY OF TAKE BACK THE CITY


Hello there everyone. I will be on Zane's show on Monday evening from 7pm to play the single, Take Back The City, for the first time anywhere. It'll be played at 7.20pm but I advise listening to the whole thing as it's an awesome show with a deep love and knowledge of new music. I've been told it will be streamed on the radio one website at the same time, whatever the hell that means! I'm sure the more internet savvy of you will know what that means.

If you miss it at 7:20pm you will also be able to listen to the track again online from tuesday morning at bbc.co.uk/radio1/ as well as a snippet from the track at SP.com after the last chord has rung out on the radio.


NEW ALBUM TRACK-LISTING ANNOUNCED!

Here is the track-listing and running order for the new album:

If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It
Crack The Shutters Open
Take Back The City
Lifeboats
The Golden Floor
Please Just Take These Photos From my Hands
Set Down Your Glass
The Planets Bend Between Us
Engines
Disaster Button
The Lightning Strike
(i)What if This Storm Ends?
(ii)Sunlight Through The Flags
(iii)Daybreak

The last song is sixteen minutes long and by far the longest we've ever done. Don't be frightened though, it's great. Although for now you'll have to take my word for that and I'm pretty biased I have to say.
