--- Quote ---Group Bombino is the latest salvo from the Agadez music scene. Led by the guitar virtuoso Omara Mochtar (Bombino), the group’s debut LP-- Volume two in the Guitars from Agadez series, represents the latest chapter in the modern sound of the Tuareg revolution. As of 2008, the Tuareg rebellion is in full force again, and Bombino is in exile to parts unknown. Agadez has been cut off from the rest of Niger. The only road that connects this legendary city with the rest of the country is littered with land mines and the only escorts are the military. This music and its messages of hope, justice, and desire for validation of the Kel Tamachek way of life ring louder than ever. Group Bombino are gaining mythic status in and around the Tuareg community for their incendiary live performances. Coming from the same scene as Group Inerane and sharing some of the same musicians, Group Bombino showcase both sides of the Tuareg Guitar style. Side one features the “Dry Guitar” sound, an unplugged selection of songs sung among the dunes and stars of the Tenere desert. Side two showcases the electric fury of the full band, a melding of heavy, psychedelic guitar heroics with a raw garage sound, back beat percussion, all swirling in extended trance rock moves. Recorded live and unfiltered in Agadez and the surrounding desert in early 2007, with the band’s equipment powered by generators and an unflinching dedication to the rebellion, Group Bombino’s music transcends any influence and ignites the raw passion of its message to the outside world.

--- Quote ---Page France - Hello, Dear Wind
--- Quote ---There is an edge of melancholy throughout: the jangly guitars, ringing bells, and joyous keyboards betray talk of fear, of being blown away by the wind—and lead singer Michael Nau admits that we are all dogs, begging for scraps from the divine. In “Junkyard,” the most cryptic, and the darkest track, Nau tells us that this Christianity not only requires us to "lie there patiently" but to have life "shake us like a bad dream," even if the dream was about "the truest song that was never true."
If all of this sounds oddly intense, it should. Hello, Dear Wind feels like people talking quietly in a circle, a collection narratives of confusion and shame. Things you would hear at retreat centers, AA, the confessional booth, bible studies, and the like. It is easy to mock lo-fi emo boys with their four-track, singing love songs to girls who will never really love them—now imagine finding that girl who will love them forever: all of that trepidation about adolescent desire remains, but there is a surety amongst the doubt.

Page France - ...and the Family Telephone
--- Quote ---This braiding of the unconscious with the Unknown, as crookedly rendered as it might be, is Telephone's greatest charm-- an inventive intertwining that gives the record a woozy, playful charisma. Like Danielson's Daniel Smith, Nau creates a loopy musical world concerned with the extratextual elements of organized religion, with any converts he attracts along the way merely interested in playing along. Like religion, music only exists inasmuch as it is performed, and on Telephone's closer "Casting Day", Nau seeks to recruit a new crop of participants for his next show, asking: "Who do you wanna be? In that crooked afterlife, at the bottom of the sea?"
