How Much Polishing A Car Cost

2011 (Volume III) - Special S. Valentino? The android

I could say a few words about the live version of the entire 'The King Is Dead' the Decemberists played and broadcast live on NPR tonight and instead I put only the link to download
HERE. Or write something about 'Under Streetlight Glow' Heidi Spencer & The Rare Birds, dischettino very pricey released on Bella Union, the label last year has given us Lone Wolf, Midlake and John Grant. Or four or five lines on the new Iron & Wine albums, which for better or for worse we read the words jalissiane rivers in the coming days by More or less all the international criticism. Instead I chose a tiny little disk that will go mostly unnoticed. 9 tracks for 30 minutes a little music. A poetic journey into the white desert.



Vanderslice is already the eighth album although still unknown to most. His meticulous work has always been a fact of no-frills dry pop interspersed with the folk decided to tighter turns with a lot of very political lyrics. Surprisingly, this already before listening 'White Wilderness' when you read that was produced by John Congleton using a symphony orchestra of 19 elements. On even more when you begin to tap gable with the use of this orchestra has been done. Do not expect the bombast and pomposity, just nice touches at times other than rough, to sweeten and flavor the songwriting direct Vanderslice. The result is an exquisitely crafted chamber folk, however, linear and very clean arrangements that will accompany you out of the space-time without ever needing to something similar to the flashes elettrosinfonici Nico Muhly on the last disc of Sam Amidon. Oh, and then there are the songs. The oldhamiana 'After It Ends' for voice and acoustic guitar is the proof of how hard it would be played without the orchestra, '20K' and 'White Wilderness' watercolors growing melancholy piano by the strings, the obvious homage to Nick Drake of 'Inglese Vines', the epic gentle 'Sea Salt' made by the horns and the rhythm of 'Overcoat' and 'Convict Lake'. A small little big disk. Really.



Share Today more than ever. Wow is a disk with an international, stuff that would rip the hair of all lovers of Indie Rock from Sydney to Brooklyn. 27 songs that dig a furrow drawing the line between what was there before and what comes next and I mean not only the music of Verden. The risk when you design and execute a work as this multifaceted and multilayered, with a clear jump in rate and intensity, and the manor of form if not substance. But they do not fall into the trap and are absolutely sincere and consistent among the last resurgence of stoner rock and new acoustic arpeggios visionaries. It 's a raw hard at times even angry purified from the fury of the early grunge even when cited Battisti and Interpol ('Loniterp' is in fact an anagram). Winks and then turns to the Mars Volta on Muse 'Origin Of Symmetry', the Flaming Lips and psichedelizza back to earth with Radiohead. A musical kaleidoscope remarkable impact and explosion. Straconsigliato. (the psychedelic folk of 'Hell and fire rockets harpy' which reminded me very quickly the pace of twist things Vetiver)
