Anybody want some Death From Above 1979?

What about Fight From Above?

[bedhead138]

jj - jj n° 2 (2009) ~ Mp3 320

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?qk5u1zggz1z

0101, 0103, 0107, 0108, 0113, and 0115. Since all jj choose to show of themselves is their music, video, and occasional blood-spattered merch, then those Sincerely Yours catalogue numbers represent the sum total of what we know about them. Hell, we wouldn't even know jj were a "them" had the group's Gothenburg, Sweden-based, Tough Alliance-owned label not confirmed that. So... they're mysterious-- but not inscrutable: Despite a brief discography that's already geekily byzantine enough for anybody who ever bought into the legend of Factory Records, jj's full-length debut is as easy to enjoy as whatever the last CD was you brought home with a giant cannabis leaf on the cover. They're as naive as they are cynical-- or is it the other stupid way around?-- and they manage to be pretty, touching, funny, and motivating, in different ways, in all the right places, for nine songs lasting 28 minutes.

You don't need me to tell you for the 128th time (320th if you're at CD quality) how digital file distribution has spread sounds and ideas across the globe during the current decade, and jj have earned a place among the current wave of pop globalization, sharing both the island sounds and sticky-fingered irreverence of their labelmates the Tough Alliance, Air France, and the Honeydrips. Sure, jj still carry traces of iconic twee label Sarah Records, but they celebrate a broader definition of "pop". Sometimes, as on "Lollipop"-biting slo-mo raver "Ecstasy", jj do this by borrowing from global hip-hop culture. But they also participate. Never by straight-up rapping, but by expanding the reach of ambient music-- defined expansively, as Brian Eno once did, as music that "suggests, a place, a landscape, a soundworld which you inhabit"-- to include a whole new kind of swagger. "Of course there is people out to get me," a female vocalist sings on "My Hopes and Dreams" as hand percussion evokes the Avalanches' beach blowouts, hypnotic guitar recalls German Kosmiche Muzik, and gusts of winds whistle over high-noon Ennio Morricone strings.

Then again, on the same song, jj's singer just wants "someone to share my hopes and dreams with"-- a humbler goal to be sure, but jj excel just as much at strummy intimacy as they do at lavish blissouts. The lo-fi hooks on "Tell It to My Heart"-biting closer "Me & Dean" suggests TTA's aching teen-pop cover "Lucky", only done as an original this time. The pisstake-y giggles also make you wonder if you're hearing their mixtape outro.

When jj drift closer to early-1990s ambient-house, they still allow emotion to flood through the textures, and they never start repeating themselves. Opener "Things Will Never Be the Same Again" sets almost new-agey strings and Enya-esque sailing imagery to a bouncy Caribbean rhythm: "I close my eyes and remember/ A place in the sun where we used to live." For all the flickering synths and rainforest percussion of "Masterplan", we also get Top Gun guitar rocketry, faux-innocent-as-Disney sing-song, and that reporter guy from YouTube going, "I'm dyin' in this fucking country-ass fucked-up town." jj n° 2 may be easy on the ears, but it isn't wallpaper.

At their most ideal, ambient, hip-hop, punk, and the most crassly commercial pop all have in common an "anything goes" approach. Like any ideal, this usually gets fucked up pretty fast. "New Age" harnesses ambient's chill-out pleasantness to eco-politics and yuppie mysticism; old rappers start dissing younger rappers for not following in their footsteps or being more socially conscious; the punk and indie traditions become as idol-worshiping as the classic-rockers they sought to displace. jj obliterate that bullshit and get back to a place where Lil Wayne can be ambient, and Enya can show up on an album with a pot leaf on the cover.

Free mp3 "From Africa to Málaga", on some days my favorite track on the album, is almost as suited for a cruise-ship commercial as Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life". But it also faces Important Ideas like death and art with the clear-eyed precocity of an adolescent, riding in on trade winds with a message that could speak to middle-school cheerleaders and middle-aged soccer moms and middlebrow-loathing former punks alike: "The thought that you found/ Takes you to town/ Smashes your face/ Burns out your heart/ Then you go home and turn it into art." Pop's just fine, too, thanks.

[Touch Me Im Sick]

Well, here goes...

"Heads Up EP" - Death From Above 1979

If it were up to me, this EP would come with the following disclaimer:

"Warning: Use of this record may result in the listener finding themselves unable to enjoy any other music immediately after hearing. The following 13 and a half minutes are addicting, original, danceable and catchy. You may also find difficulty in removing these songs from your head, even when not actually listening to the compact disc. If symptoms persist, please consult the full length You're a Woman, I'm a Machine."

While this relatively short release is only comprised of six tracks, I have yet to find a flaw within it. It somehow manages to combine a gritty punk rock sound with some of the catchiest hooks I have ever heard. What you may not immediately pick up on with this band is that it only consists of two people: a bass player and a singing drummer. And the difference between DFA and other duos (the Black Keys, the White Stripes) is that every track is entertaining and manages to have a totally different feel. They somehow manage to expand on the drum and bass combo to create their own genre. Needless to say, if you were attempting to describe what this EP sounded like to someone else, you would have severe difficulty in finding a comparison to any other artist.

The opener "Dead Womb" segues from a creepy telling of the dangers of cocaine and kicks into a fast-paced attack, and it doesn't slow down a bit from here. Next is my personal favorite, the speedy and toe-tapping "Too Much Love." After this, the techno-style sounds of synthesizer lead into another two minutes and 30 seconds of what can only be described as blistering dance-punk with "Do it!" and it doesn't skip a beat from there.

I will conclude this review with the same simplicity that Heads Up delivers: If you are looking for something fresh, raw, energetic and also unbelievably good to go running to, then get a "heads up" on this record immediately. -Punknews (no AMG review)

"You're a Woman, I'm a Machine" - Death From Above 1979

Death From Above 1979 makes their considerable racket with only bass, drums, and the occasional Moog squelch assist. This isn't a gimmick — between Sebastien Grainger's frantic wail and the overdriven bass riffs of Jesse F. Keeler, the duo's You're a Woman, I'm a Machine pulses with a steady, sweaty energy that's punctuated with arena-sized hooks. "Blood on Our Hands" boils dance-punk nearly all the way down, leaving only a relentless hi-hat cymbal, while "Turn It Out" and "Cold War" churn on double-time rhythms and rudimentary, yet completely effective bass runs. The duo's setup certainly limits their range, which means the album can occasionally resemble one long song. But at just over a half-hour, it's over before any questions about the lack of guitars can even start to form. There are hyper indie rock flare-ups, like in the Hot Snakes/Rocket from the Crypt yelp of "Going Steady." And "Sexy Results" is a flirtatious and amplified cross of new wave and Rapture-style strut that comes complete with a cowbell upbeat. Preoccupation with the opposite sex provides some of You're a Woman, I'm a Machine's strongest moments, from Grainger's "I don't need you/I want you" clarification on "Romantic Rights" to the frenetic late-album standout "Pull Out." Other highlights include the title track's layered vocals and wiry punk revivalism, and the subtler "Black History Month," which is a nice break from the record's consistently jerking pace. In the 2000s, dance-oriented energy keeps creeping regularly into rock & roll. On You're a Woman, I'm a Machine, Death from Above 1979 makes people move by exposing the live-wire tension rock music had all along. -AMG

"Zongamin" - Zongamin

Susumi Makai introduced his world of carelessly colliding strains of dance music — incorporating left-field disco, funk, hip-hop, and house, along with good old sloppy garage rock and spaghetti Western soundtracks — with 12" singles that were scattered across 2001 and 2002 on the Flesh and XL labels. One of these, "Tunnel Music," appeared on Playgroup's DJ Kicks disc in 2002, while "Serious Trouble," a similarly buoyant track with buzzing fuzz-bass riffs, also got lots of spins from DJs who adore similarly whimsical and irreverent dance-oriented labels like Output and DFA. There's no focus to Makai's debut full-length at all, but that's obviously not the point. Apart from the reliance on thick grooves and funny noises, along with liberal use of scratchy flicks of guitar, there's little common ground shared by these tracks. And while the numerous comparisons that have been drawn — name any combination of hip artists and have them swap bodily fluids or ride funny cars together — have mostly been bunk, there's an endearing "anything goes" playfulness at hand that more dance producers would do well to adopt. The album might be too meandering and tether-less at certain points, but the wealth of ideas practically makes it a non-issue. -AMG

I'd like to introduce you folks to a band called Huxley Met Soda. They popped up on Audiosurf radio this week and I found it quite palatable.

Huxley Met Soda - Urbaani Eramaa


What really sold me on this French band was the bongo-centric track Stalkers. The album has a laid back and chill sound with nice floating guitar and groovy beats. Vocals leave a little to be desired in my opinion, but definitely worth the listen if just for the bongos. I should note that unlike other French bands I've thrown up here these guys sing mostly in English. Finally, the band released their album under creative commons so you don't have to feel guilty about downloading it  but please drop them a buck or two if it strikes your fancy.

Welcome to the hipster lounge,
Céu - Vagarosa (2009)
Brazilian/Jazz/Reggae/Funk

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/download.php?gun0mv1q4hv

"Vagarosa" is the highly anticipated new studio offering from the young, beautiful and talented singer/songwriter Céu after her acclaimed 2005 sef-titled debut album. It's certainly worth the wait. Céu - real name Maria do Ceu Whitaker Pocas, it means "sky" in Portuguese and is pronounced "sell" - possesses a strikingly pure voice, and her tastes are unfailingly eclectic. Her voice is not only beautiful, it's also brilliantly flexible. She sounds as self-assured and poised as you'd expect from an independent musician from São Paulo. On her new lbum she mostly sticks to the style and grooves that made her famous as the most interesting singer to come out of Brazil since astrud Glberto and Bebel Gilberto. Electro influences are discreetly scattered around, a dash of reggae (check the track "Cangote") is there also. She takes the São Paulo sound into after-hours territory, framing and multi-tracking her fragile, silky-smooth yet punchy and sexy voice with space-warped reggae beats, DJ scratching and some beautiful, dark-toned horns. Add some elegantly warm jazz lite and soul textures, and you have all the makings of a summer hit.

Radical Face - Ghost (2007)

While a lot of review out there are rather harsh, I enjoyed this album and I think all of you Samuel Beam groupies will too.

If at age 24, Ben Cooper (Radical Face) can record an album as subtlely beautiful as "Ghost", admittedly a concept album four years in the making, what will be his next endeavor to keep what is hopefully an expanding fanbase captivated?

"Asleep On a Train" opens this album instrumentally. It's a beautiful mood piece that only hints at the treasure chest that's about to descend on your tympanic membrane. Then, Ben puts it all out there. Cut #2 "Welcome Home, Son" is unquestioningly the best song I've heard for 2007. Sufjan Stevens would be jealous of the sheer melody and layering of this masterpiece. Buy the album for this song alone.

[Morgan11]

+ 1 for Nujabes.
I love these guys- thank you.

Swedish singer/songwriter José González is a star in his native land. His album Veneer was released there in the early 2000s and has achieved gold status. Far from the pop album you might expect from such a statement, the album is an entirely acoustic affair that reflects a childhood spent listening to equal parts bossa nova, classical, and post-punk by the likes of Joy Division. Touchstones for González's sound include Nick Drake, Paul Simon, Red House Painters, and Elliott Smith, all artists who are literate, quiet, and melancholy but also create memorable songs as well. Veneer was released in the U.K. by Peacefrog in 2003 and was a critical success there; it was released in the U.S. by Hidden Agenda in the fall of 2005. His U.S. prospects were aided by the appearance of his song "Crosses" in the season-ending episode of The O.C. The title track from his 2006 Stay in the Shade EP also appeared on an episode of that show. The EP showed a move away from the bedroom sound of the first album but still maintained the same high level of songcraft and performance. In 2005 González joined with Elias Araya (organ, Moog) and Tobias Winterkorn (drums) to form Junip, releasing an EP at the end of the year with a full-length to follow in 2006. The year 2007 saw him returning to his solo career with the album In Our Nature.

Thank you so much for the Jose Gonzalez, it's absolutely amazing. I've really been in a Swedish music mood lately, between The Shout Out Louds, Tiger Lou, The Perishers and Isolation Years, i really can't get enough!

Am I the only one that thinks the new Spoon EP isn't all that good at all? Like, maybe one song of the four is descent, but for the rest, it's got nuffin (see what I did there? hurr)

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.

Hi folks, just discovered SP toward the end of last week and enjoyed sampling some of this music so I thought I should contribute.  Been on a bit of a psychedelic/garage jag in recent weeks [listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sirius XM will do that to you]; here's the debut cd for an Australian band by the name of The Dolly Rocker Movement:

Couldn't find any info on AllMusic or Pitchfork so here's a fairly accurate little blurb from Amazon:

Sydney's Dolly Rocker Movement are equal parts Velvet Underground, Brian Jonestown Massacre and georgeous west-coast folk. Blending quaint psychedelia and haunting jabs of love, Dolly Rocker Movement pervade a space in your brain that's reserved for acid.

I've got the rest of their catalog if anyone's interested after giving this one a listen.  Geez, I hope I figured out all this cut 'n' paste shite...

Kraftwerk - The Catalogue (Promo Box Set)


Here's a rip of the complete 8-CD box set that Kraftwerk prepared for release in 2004, but which still hasn't seen the light of day, apart from a number of promo copies. Kraftwerk haven't just remastered the albums, they've also extensively restored them, & this is most noticeable in the earlier albums, where tape hiss was very audible. Now, the hiss is gone completely, & every album sounds really sharp, with greater sonic depth & clarity of detail that's really breathtaking to hear, especially as i've been listening to these albums since i was a boy - to hear them cleaned up like this is genuinely exciting! They've also revamped the artwork, as well as restoring the original name of their sixth album to Techno Pop (it was released as Electric Café). So, here they are, the definitive articles!

In case you were unsure of what this was...

With the Obsessed and Saint Vitus in the '80s, Scott "Wino" Weinrich all but invented doom metal (well, the parts that Sabbath didn't create), and in the 2000s, his power trios Spirit Caravan and the Hidden Hand didn't bogart the deep-focus high. Here, perhaps his most deft rhythm section (Clutch drummer Jean-Paul Gaster and Rezin bassist Jon Blank) acts as a liberating army -- trad doom, hardcore tempos, mathematic instrumentals, and a Fugazi lope ("Wild Blue Yonder") coexist perfectly with his famously piercing, rounded guitar tone. It's change any hesher could believe in.

Coeur De Pirate - Coeur De Pirate


Cœur de Pirate is 19 year old Béatrice Martin who has played the piano from the age of three. In March 2007, after five years of music education, she started composing her own songs. Members of Bonjour Brumaire noticed her and asked her to join their group as singer and keyboardist. This spring Béatrice left the group to concentrate on Cœur de Pirate, her solo project. With only four concerts to its credit, Cœur de Pirate has gotten its fame mainly on Myspace. Her first self-titled album “Cœur de Pirate” was released September 16 on Grosse Boite records.

They make lovely electropop with titles like "Me + Yr Daughter," "Holding Hands In The Shower," and "Beard Lust," and the best part? They're all 18 (if not younger). I played Ultimate against the lead singer and gave him a ride home after. He's pretty chill! Another highly recommended record.

Don't let the album name's acronym fool you. This is not "Poo". Cave did a single reunion show and released this as a vinyl only release.

P.S. I have a boner

holy fucking spacecakes batman, Cave In are back?!?!?!  HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT HEAR OF THIS?! 

needless to say, that EP is out of this fucking world, in both sound and awesomeness!  do you know if they're planning another full-length? 

I dunno about a full length, but they had a VERY successful reunion show and I would be surprised if they put all their not-half-as-awesome-as-cave-in projects like Clouds and Doomriders aside to make more rock that actually rocks. Here's hopin, Grimbo.
