Here We Go Magic - Pigeons (2010)

The new Here We Go Magic. As I said in the other thread, it's a huge departure from the first album. In a good way! Brimming with energy and propulsion and hazy drift. Fucking awesome. Caribou levels of Krautrock win.

I wasn't even through the first song on the album when I decided I would go pay real money for this. So I bought it.  Wow this girl can really write.

Look Mexico - To Bed To Battle[2010]

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?zzqdgm2x2m4You Stay. I Go. No Following.

There was a time a few years ago where I was sick of hearing the next generation lack of pop, Midwestern emo, indie sensibility that was being shoved down my throat. It was like trying to retain sixth wave leftovers from record companies trying to maintain the next buck since they had "one" big breakout. With that pessimism, I bred a history lesson of bands such as Braid, Texas is the Reason and Sunny Day Real Estate. I went back to the gritty roots which were put together in passion and creativity not seen before it.

More than a decade later, I can finally say I'm happy with what's being put on my plate as a new meal. Look Mexico are now dishing out their second album after last decade's proper full length and a handful of EP's. To Bed to Battle isn't to be passed over lightly. It's reminiscent of a time where more was put into the build of a song structure and not the look of the band playing the song.

The opener eases in a repetitive, infectious chorus, "Thank you for absolutely nothing." Its falsetto doesn't seem cheap in production. It's as honest as when Davey VonBohein sang out the circular chorus in "Is This Thing On?" That honesty and Midwestern homage holds true with "I Live My Life a Quarter Mile at a Time" and the closing "Just Like Old Times" on Look Mexico's new album.

But it's the quick left turn that To Bed to Battle takes that separates it as its own, and not just a classic portrait of how we felt about our 90's idols. "Take It Upstairs, Einstein" glistens strings and twang in a band who are attempting a craft outside of its album's first two track marks. That old sound and new Midwest, Saddle Creek influence blends on "Until the Lights Burn Out?" and "They Only Take the Backroads." As the band instrumentally takes its closer to the end of the album, it feels like sun is just setting over the plateau in the back of your mind.

Look Mexico are attempting to cram what they already know how to do and what they want to do in To Bed to Battle. Fortunate enough for the listener, it works on all levels. Sure, songs like "Get In There, Brother!" and "Time for You to Go Do Your Own Thing" don't fit quite right in the sequence, but they still have their moments of a band pushing expected boundaries. The first time I heard the album, my initial thought was, "Cool, it's like if Braid grew up in Georgia." That may not be the most accurate way to describe the band's abilities in the simplest form, but one listen through and you may get a connection of how some of us miss and continue to rediscover those better days, without getting completely stuck in the past.

Really crazy conceptual art rap, if that can be a genre. It's difficult hard to explain this group, but here's a music video.

[David_Dovey]

Haha oh my god that album cover. I honestly thought the Die Antwoord meme would never have made it as far as actually making a whole album. Good on those guys, I guess. That being said Ninja actually has pretty decent skills as an M.C.

Rules:

No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.

Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.

Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to mediaf!re.com, in multiple parts if the album is over 100mbs. The reason for this is that we know mediaf!re is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.

Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.

Also, please do NOT request albums. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.

Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

Black Prairie - Feast Of The Hunters’ Moon

MySpace

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?4twzg2nzmwx

Bluegrass is a genre that has somehow remained untainted by the outside factors that have plagued so many others—image, commercial appeal, celebrity status—and still only answers to one question: can you play your instrument? It make sense, then, that Oregon indie rockers the Decemberists, known for their virtuosic musical capabilities, might one day venture into something a little twangier, a little more instrument-heavy. Enter Black Prairie, an acoustic 5-piece made up of Decemberists Chris Funk, Nate Query and Jenny Conlee, with help from fellow Portland musicians Annalisa Tornfelt and Jon Neufield. The resulting record, Feast of the Hunters’ Moon, is a primarily instrumental voyage into Appalachia through the eyes of well-informed outsiders that mixes original composition with traditional to create a sound that adds a modern twist to the voices of the past.

Lighter moments on the album, like the fiddle-driven version of traditional song “Back Alley,” are reminiscent of early Nickel Creek jams, though it’s when the band gets heavier that the album is at its strongest. Appropriately named Black Prairie, the band takes a darker approach to bluegrass that plays upon the strengths of their Decemberists’ background while maintaining traditional sensibilities. Interpretations of songs like “Red Rocking Chair” and album closer “Blackest Crow,” both driven by the smoky, haunting vocals of Jenny Conlee, play into the Southern gothic tradition that authors like William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor championed in years past. Black Prairie originals like “Across the Black Prairie” and “Crooked Little Heart” don’t disappoint either, fitting right in with their traditional counterparts. Though Oregon is a far cry from the lush mountains and low valleys of the American south, Feast of the Hunters’ Moon makes up for what it lacks in location with spirited musicianship and an inherent reverence for bluegrass’ king, the instrument.
