Huh... I was thinking of upping the shivers a while ago but didn't think anyone would particularly like them.   My kid's band opened for them and Kelli Scarr a couple of months ago, so I picked up Beaks to the Moon and Phone Calls from their merch table.  I'll rip them and get them up after work tonight maybe.

I've been listening to this album all morning and... I'm honestly just not sure what to make of it. It opens with a vocal hip hop sample, that then has Gregorian chanting layered over it? Basically it's just really hard to tell if these guys take themselves seriously or not (one of the choruses is "I DON'T HAVE A DICK I DON'T HAVE A DICK" over jaunty piano), but it's still a pretty enjoyable, occasionally funny album. It's worth the download for the very first track alone.

With a big departure of members their sound is definitely different. Most immediately you notice how much louder it is now.  I'm still trying to figure out if I like the new sound as much and if the album has a cohesiveness. It's pretty clear the chemistry isn't quite the same, but it's hard to tell if it's just jitters. The jury is out on this one, so make your own decisions.

But, hey, look how ironic the cover is.

You guys, I can't even begin to tell you how much I adore this album. I've been listening to it constantly since it came out and it is definitely on my top three albums of this year so far. It has a great combination of hazy, relatively soothing tracks and aggressive sonic freakouts, cycling back and forth between the two. The album peaks at New Slaves, which is 20 minutes of pounding saxophone and guitar histrionics, and is worth the effort of downloading this album alone. You will not be disappointed by this it, and if you are, I'm disappointed in you.

Matthew Dear - Black City

From Allmusic:
Black City is Matthew Dear at his least penetrable and most alluring. If the David Bowie comparisons were to continue, the album would place him somewhere in Lodger  territory. The dominance of inscrutable lyrics, peculiar characters and subjects, and alien rhythms makes the album more akin to the likes of Lodger's "African Night Flight," "Yassassin," and "Repetition" than the relatively straightforward "Boys Keep Swinging." Like Asa Breed, Dear's previous full-length, Black City  is best described as avant pop, but there is an absence of lucidity, and no song sticks as quickly as "Don and Sherri" or "Deserter." It's all slippery, sleazy, murky sound-substance -- knotted rhythms with irregular gaits made all the more surreal by Dear's generally vague, suggestive lyrics and wordless, droning background vocals. Depending on your taste, this will likely be instantly off-putting or progressively pleasurable. Either way, it will probably make you feel like you could use a shower. That Black City is Dear's most creative and individual album is not, however, up for debate.

Neil Young - Le Noise [2010]

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?bxbectn008cq907
Old Man, indeed! The old hippy icon continues to confound the critics and challenge his fans.  Produced by Daniel Lanois [love the wordplay in the title], the album is just NY, his guitars [both acoustic and electric] filtered through Lanois-style atmospherics.  I heard several of these songs on his Twisted Road Tour of 2010, and the studio versions are just as strong.  Young examines familiar themes of loss and war, the now-popular personal politics of anger, a 20-yr. old previously unreleased semiautobiographical song, and an epic story of U.S. westward expansion and the collective price we've paid.

Enjoy...

Optimum - Max Power

Fresh from a remix of American Men with Ikonika, Optimum launches a debut solo attack with the screwy soca rush of 'Max Power'. Images of lairy Essex boys in fluoro-green Cosworths aside, that title track is fierce, like a more vicious LD cut made for warehouse deployment. Following this, the gangster carousel of 'Crash Riddim' is equally narsty, a proper sh*tter's riddim with an evil, demented glint in its eye while 'Lily' eases up on a melancholy, atmospheric roller built with cascading arpeggios and riding 20" subbass rims. Fans of Bok Bok, Girl Unit or Ikonika, don't miss this.

Dextro - Zero Circle EP

16K present Dextro's 'Ring Cycle' from his 'Winded' album backed with remixes from Anticon's Alias and the always excellent TVO. From the melodic IDM source material of his original TVO builds a squirming slab of techno psychedelics with hints of broken dubstep flow and Basic Channel-esque chords strung through his off-centre programming. This is impressive! The Alias remix swings for the indie/hiphop crossover with squashed mid-tempo beats and a sharp melodic arrangement.

(As far as I'm concerned the A-sides are a lot better than the B-sides, even though I thought I'd enjoy the Alias remix more)

Solar Bears - She Was Coloured In

“See, this album you are playing now sounds like it could have been made by some French crazies in the 1970s, when prog became that all-encompassing juggernaut that vomited liquid shards of over-nourished human psyche all over the place, it was kind of gross and eventually tiresome. But while the going was good, I swear, it was the most exciting of times. You took one of those records from its floridly decorated sleeve, slipped it on, leant back and breathed deep, woosh, it was like going partying in the docks of Marseilles as re-imagined by some sword and sorcery nut, you never fucken knew what was going to happen next, smoke and mirrors, twists and turns, ah, the energy! And if at parts it sounded like the future, not the future we dreamed but the future that happened, it is because some of us travelled there riding in the back of a red dragon. The metronome of this song swings with the circumference of a horizon beheld from high above, where the clouds glow with a tinture which is both the warmth of the sun, and the deep blue of the space above, it makes me wanna cry for everything we have forgotten’.

Solar Bears’ She Was Coloured In’ is one of the most astonishing albums that 20jazzfunkgreats (and Florian) have heard in a long time- like Subway soundtracking Fantastic Planet or something. But you are going to have to await until September to listen to it in its utterly transfixing glory. In Planet Mu, those guys know.

White Car - No Better

**Upfront & exclusive release from hotly tipped Industrial Funk project, White Car, on the excellent Hippos In Tanks label!** Having already collaborated with Giallo exponents Gatekeeper, and had a video pieced together by Daniel 'Oneohtrix' Lopatin, White Car is the latest buzz project to emerge from the hugely promising Hippos In Tanks label and features an addictive leather trousered passion for the EBM/Industrial sound of DAF, Nitzer Ebb, or Liasons Dangereuses with an incredibly canny eye for detail and a taste for sinister gothic splendour. Like Jamal Moss's Medusa edit series (dedicated to the underage Goth/Pop/Rock club), they're inspired by a virulent strain of European Industrial music that infected the Chicago club scene through the '80s and whose influence can be felt right through the catalogues of Trax and Mathematics. With the benefit of hindsight, they've burned off any excess to leave a sulphuric residue of disaffected vocals, sledgehammer snares and sweaty chested synths, efficiently recalling the frisson of sexual energy and electronic futurism which ignited Chi-town night spots. We couldn't recommend this release any higher to fans of Chris Carter, Ministry, Jamal Moss or Amyl Nitrate.

After 30 years or so, industrial is finally becoming en vogue. I've waited a long time for that to happen. It's a lot like Twitch-era Ministry with a little bit more goth in it, and I couldn't love it more.

from The Quietus

... Some might argue that there's an elephant in the room, though, one that looks suspiciously like a diminutive Icelandic woman. As was the case with White Hinterland's overlooked Kairos, there's an obvious debt to Bjork here. Yet is it not the case that female artists with a certain aesthetic and sensibility are always doomed to such comparisons? And as far as criticisms go, that particular comparison is like complaining that someone is too talented, their music too beautiful, and the fact that Mesirow sounds as fully-formed and assured on her own debut as Bjork did on hers suggests that 2010's brightest new star will only shine ever more in the years to come.
