new Menomena

I'm enjoying this a whole lot, you are a wonderful man

Menomena - Mines (2010, 320kbps)

I'm glad I listened to this one again - first time I heard it I wasn't really into it, but now I'm really digging it.

[gospel]

So, I introduced my friend to Mono (he's a big Explosions in the Sky guy). He responded with this band, which is pretty good in their own right.

Some really excellent female fronted punk from Sweden

Wow. Huge fucking YAWN. If this wasn't from Sweden and didn't have women in the band Pitchfork fans would not give a shit.

Long time no post, but here's something really good, and totally underratet, and to most, unknown.
I've been looking for it myself for a long time, and finally found it in a recordstore. Before I've just been listening to the vinyl version at work, where it somehow wound up...

But enough talking around, here's

Edmund Oak - Queen Odea Escapes

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?dy7ldgt7axhmfjp
This is dark, gloomy indie, and very very good. Recorded inside a church in Copenhagen.
No english reviews to be found, but here's a description I found on Tokyo Gig Guide.

Edmund Oak from Denmark is formed around composer and singer Jonatan Bengta and follows in the singer/songwriter tradition of folk music, but also takes inspiration from Chet Baker, Ethiopian jazz and experimental genres.

Debut album "Queen Odea Escapes" was recorded late at night over a 12 months period in one of the most famous churches in Copenhagen and released by Minimum Records in 2008.

As one of the most unique Danish records in 2008, it combines melody and beautiful atmosphere, with unusual instrumentation such as cello, bells, gongs, Hawaii-guitars and choir.

Have some punk. 

One of my colleagues had a group about 15 years ago which recorded this EP for Golf Records.  They split up before they could tour on the back of it, and the EP sank without trace.  No one even knows of a surviving copy; but here it is, taken from the DAT master.

Well, no idea if the voice overs initially turned me off the Mount Kimbie album, but time for a second chance as I really do love their Maybes EP.

If you dig heavy, groovy jams with angry lady vocals, and a pinch of violin to taste, SubRosa will likely rock your socks right off your feet and out towards the next major landmass.

You guys may or may not have heard of this band, but they come from my neck of the woods (SLC, UT), and they just played a killer show last night. This album is a little old, but it's still really good - their new release should be out sometime soon, and my friend's band is organizing a show with them in SLC soon. If anyone feels like attending, PM me or something and we'll chat.

State Champion - Stale Champagne[2010]

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?vf8nlna5r7q1qak

How do you like your rock? Dirty? I thought so. Well take that Dead Weather vinyl off the record player, there’s an even more alcohol-fueled dirty miss of a rock album after arriving. Stale Champagne is a sonic mindfuck of a record with bizarrely brilliant lyrics underlaid by fantastic floor-stomping country rock.

State Champion is the child of Ryan Davis, and is like a more raucous Wilco. If Jeff Tweedy is the man at the bar drinking whiskey, Davis is the one on the floor with the broken pool cue across his back. Amazingly, this album has stayed under my radar until now – it was released in January – but it’s too good for me not to highlight its brilliance.

The production qualities on the record are nil, it has a one-take urgency to it, which gives the album a wonderful raw quality. It’s only fortyish minutes in length, and features eight songs – every one of them an alt.country jam. The songs go from heartfelt to angry. ‘Come See What I Have Done’ is the album’s essential ballad. It’s a bitter tale of lost love. What else would you expect? ‘Bite the Dust’ sounds like a grittier country Gaslight Anthem, and features the angry refrain (well it would be a refrain if State Champion followed usual song structures) “Saying cuss words at the ground / Things like fuck / shit / goddamn”. By the third listen you’ll be bellowing out the words along with Davis, all the while reaching for another Jack Daniels.

Stale Champagne screams out to be played again, and again. It’s one of those albums that you’ll find yourself playing in its entirety just after it’s finished. Each of the songs has its own appeal. Sabrina Rush’s mandolin on ‘Help Me Sing’ is fantastic, and for some reason the song reminds me of Beggar’s Banquet. For me, the song is the standout. As well as the beautifulstrings, there’s also wonderful guitar riffs, and Davis’s empowering vocals. Hugely enjoyable. It’s exactly what I’d imagine a cross between The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and the Dead Weather would sound like.

If you’ve gone six months without hearing this album, you no longer have an excuse. I’ve told you of its greatness. Now go and get it.

someone still loves you boris yeltsin - let it sway (2010) (320kbps)



in a musical atmosphere awash with retro electronics, straight-up indie rock records are rare (and most of the time, not very good). someone still loves you boris yeltsin refuse to let the form die, and they've recorded what might be the best straightforward indie rock record this year. let it sway is filled with more addicting hooks and catchy choruses than you can shake yr skinny fists at. they've got a hint of twang at their back this outing, most reminiscent of handsome western states-era beulah, and i mean that in the best way possible. the "na na na"s that litter album standout "banned (by the man)" are a little off-putting on first listen, but before long you'll be unable to resist humming along. this comes with the highest of recommendations; i haven't been able to stop listening to it for days.

Any ideas where the leak actually came from? I heard they were being intensely protective of the record before the release date which makes me a tad skeptical of the thing but damn if I'm curious enough not to care.

Not sure, I'm fairly certain it's actually a transcode of a lower bitrate copy (not a HORRENDOUS copy but not quite 320kbps), but as to the origins that's a bit of a mystery. It is the real deal though. As soon as a higher quality rip is released, I will update the link. Keep an eye out.
