Fucked Up

David Comes To Life

David Comes To Life is a Rock opera, an album set to a play. Though no less monumental, it is far more melodic than their break through The Chemistry Of Common Life. There are more female vocals, which work in perfect contrast to Damian Abraham’s highly effective wounded bull growl.

David Sylvian

Died in the Wool

David Sylvian’s MANAFON (2009) appeared as a collection of disciplined art songs that relied on his collaborators to inform not only their textures, but their forms. Those players—Jan Bang, Evan Parker, John Tilbury, Dai Fujikura, Erik Honor , Otoma Yoshide, and Christian Fennesz among them—created airy, often gently dissonant structures for Sylvian’s lyrics and melodic ideas.

Died in the Wool (MANAFON Variations) re-employs these players (with some new ones) in the considerable reworking of five of MANAFON’s compositions.

There are also six new songs that include unused outtakes, and two poems by Emily Dickinson set to music and sung by Sylvian.

Death Cab For Cutie

Codes and Keys

Codes and Keys still sounds like a Death Cab album, but the guys explore the benefits of the recording studio more than ever before, boosting Jason McGerr s drums with bits of programmed percussion and scaling back their guitar riffs to sparse, articulate clumps of notes that ring out into the ether.

Theres a new-found emphasis on open space, on electronics, on Kid A-inspired webs of feedback and distortion that are draped behind the songs like ambient backdrops. It’s not all machines and Eno-esque production.

Primal Scream

Screamadelica Live

This show, filmed on November 26th 2010 at London’s Olympia, was the first time that Primal Scream had performed the whole album live and it became one of the must-see gigs of the year.

The band was accompanied by a brass section and a gospel choir with back projections specially created for the event.

The result was a stunning musical and visual triumph and proved, if it needed to be, that Screamadelica is one of the finest albums ever made and that Primal Scream are one of the truly great live bands.

Includes a cd !

The Sea and Cake

The Moonlight Butterfly

2011 album from the veteran Australian band.

Hot on the heels of a national tour with Broken Social Scene and the critically acclaimed 2010 solo outing Old Punch Card from singer Sam Prekop, The Sea and Cake continue to push their sound forward.

Boris

Attention Please/Heavy Rocks

Attention Please and Heavy Rocks are two of four planned full-lengths by the group during the calendar year.

Thurston Moore

Demolished Thoughts

The third solo album from the Sonic Youth main man. Demolished Thoughts was produced by Beck and features Mary Lattimore on harp, Samara Lubielski on violin, and Beck on various instruments.

Demolished Thoughts is an equally beautiful and brooding work.

While there are more than a few tonal similarities to some of your older favorite Moore compositions, the execution this time is nothing short of staggering.
