Agnes Obel...Philharmonics(2010)[FLAC] PhilharmonicsOct 04 2010 Catalogue No.PIASR195CDX 1 Falling, Catching 2 Riverside 3 Brother Sparrow 4 Just So 5 Beast 6 Louretta 7 Avenue 8 Philharmonics 9 Close Watch 10 Wallflower 11 Over the Hill 12 On Powdered Ground Such is the exceptionally sparse nature of Agnes Obel’s debut album that it slips by almost unnoticed lest you lend it a distraction-free, focused ear. It is highly advisable you do so: the compositions that lie within are slow, sombre, sepulchral even, but not without a sense of occasionally singular beauty. A case in point is Riverside, which follows the instrumental Falling, Catching as the first song proper. Philharmonics is a resolutely early hours affair; a kind of Scandinavian counterpart to the British duo Felix’s wonderful You Are the One I Pick of last year. cd ripped by dBpoweramp please seed

Jurassic5 SomaFM: Listener Supported, Commercial Free Internet Radio ADELE \\ PENDENTIF \\ Free Energy : les branleurs atomiques En 1978, les puristes brûlèrent en autodafé quelques langues mortes et pochettes de vinyles : les Rolling Stones avaient trahi, passant à la disco le temps d’un pourtant très cool et moite Miss You. Plus de trente ans après, de jeunes godelureaux de Philadelphie, aux riffs hérités de Keith, viennent eux aussi à New York se faire produire dans la fournaise disco : chez le grand James Murphy. Il y avait énormément à attendre de la rencontre entre les guitares débraillées, crâneuses et nonchalantes des jeunes Américains et la science du beat assassin du cerveau de LCD Soundsystem. Mais le rendez-vous, malheureusement, n’a pas toujours lieu sur ce premier album, qui voit le groupe, et ses obsessions pour la guitare branleuse (le glorieux axe Cars/Pavement/Weezer, notamment sur l’immense Bang Pop), rester trop souvent imperméables à la musique de danse, des fesses et de la liesse.

Sufjan Stevens | Asthmatic Kitty Records Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter currently living in Brooklyn, NY. A preoccupation with epic concepts has motivated two state records (Michigan & Illinois), a collection of sacred and biblical songs (Seven Swans), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (Enjoy Your Rabbit), two Christmas box sets (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 and Silver & Gold, vol. 6-10), and a programmatic tone poem for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (The BQE). His most recent records are from 2010: an expansive EP (All Delighted People) and the full length The Age of Adz, a collection of songs partly inspired by the outsider artist Royal Robertson. Born in Detroit and raised in Northern Michigan, Sufjan attended Hope College, in Holland, Michigan, and the masters program for writers at the New School for Social Research.

le mouv' OFF!: First Four EPs The very last scene in the 2006 documentary American Hardcore finds Zander Schloss of the Circle Jerks delivering a eulogy. "It was over a long time ago! It's over, okay? For OFF! OFF! First Four EPs crams 16 tracks into just over 17 minutes; the thing's packed so tightly, an extra second here or there could feel like one too many. Even with the short runtime, First Four EPs really takes it out of you; each EP takes you through highs and lows in quick succession, so hearing all four straight through is like being put through a tenderizer. In an indie rock landscape that typically values complex arrangements, subtlety, and good taste, OFF! beefbone music Le site officiel du groupe Granville
