The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening
barista.babe:
so i must admit, i'm a bit nervous...i want to make my first music post but i don't want to eff it up. i've already upped the albums i want to mediaf!re, now i just need to know how to do the linky thing to put them up here.
can i get some instruction?
barista.babe:
okay, i'm being a nerdy babe and going through the thread so i can learn from the mistakes of others and do this properly.
So the following albums i present you all with have been playing non-stop in rotation for the past few days that i've worked at the coffee shop.these aren't really reviews, but they will have to work. it's basically what i think of them and why i like them, and maybe a suggestion as to why you might like them.
The first is...The Gay Blades!

--- Quote ---i've been digging the gay blades a lot lately if only for the fact that it's pretty electronic-y, yet still pretty indie rockish. it let's me shake it while i make it (i.e.- your latte) and everyone that seems to come in the shop seems to like it too. i saw these guys about a year ago and it was a pretty rad show. if you get the chance to see them, do it. in the mean time check them out.

second up is...Mirah!

--- End code ---
--- Quote ---the first time i fell in love with mirah was when i saw her at the magic stick in detroit while she was on tour for c'mon miracle. i was sold from there. so i was super stoked when i found out about this year's upcoming release of (a)spera. it's pretty much like classic mirah, there are a few more horns and symphonic parts on this one. in my opinion it's really mellow (like night time at my coffee shop). so check it out and love it. and buy it when it comes out in march because...i will be.

lastly is...Emmy the Great!

--- Quote ---i got this from a friend of mine and it came with a ton of praises...at first i was like "ehhh" but then i was like "ahhh yes." again, it's very typical girl with a guitar but not in an overhyped (cough cough kate nash) sort of way. to me emmy the great is more like gregory and the hawk, has gregory and the hawk been from hong kong but raised in london (because that's the life story of emmy the great). needless to say, it's worth the listen.

hopefully i did this all right and didn't fail miserably like an ahole... but yeah whatevah. check it :)
barista.babe:
i'm a total douschebag and didn't realize that someone had already posted the gay blades.
on a side note, check out a million brazilians. they're a lot like the gay blades. they're new ep comes out in like 2 weeks. it's my friend nick's band. i'll be posting the ep when i get it! :)
again. srry.

Bogatzke - From Years to Seconds (2008)
kick ass little band from Germany.

Couldn't find a review that was in english, but that band is great if you dig post-rock purely instrumental stuff. I also have their first EP as well if anyone would like it.
City Breathing - Look How It's Snowing Upwards, Look How They Move Towards Heaven (2008)
Slow and fairly calm experimental post-rock shit. Good to chill out too. Very soft voice.

From The Devil Has the Best Tuna
--- Quote ---City Breathing's filmic rock, all astral guitars, swirling synths and nifty sampling, is deeper than a zen monk and perfect for washing away the stresses and strains of an increasingly fractious world.

Dartz! - This Is My Ship(2007)
Band from the UK doing some Post-punk kind of stuff. Voice is great. The song "laser Eyes" is just crazy sweet.

Review from SAL
--- Quote ---Sometimes an album just comes along and flat out knocks you on your ass! This Is My Ship is one of those albums. Dartz! combine so many awesome elements it is hard to even put a finger on what makes them so special. First, and foremost the band writes great songs that are truly infectious. I am hesitant to say the songs are dancey cause that would seem to sell them short. Whatever it is, this band will make your body move. Second, the band can flat out play. This band could go up against the best math rock bands and put them to shame. However, the band never bores with their instrumental prowess or lets it overtake the songs themselves. Third, is quite simple. This band and This Is My Ship are fun as hell.

The Late Cord - Lights From The Wheelhouse(2006)
Some really beautiful experimental/ambient music from Austin. Short 5 song mini album but a great first effort.
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?gmmynmgmeyw
--- End code ---
Review from All Music Guide
--- Quote ---the Late Cord may be one of the most quintessentially 4AD-sounding new artists that the label has signed in the 2000s...As melancholy as Lights from the Wheelhouse can be, it's also oddly inviting.
