Some new albums you may want to explore and why you may like.
LCD Soundsystem: This is Happening - 4 out of 6
Highlight tracks : All I want - sounds like a Low era Bowie drone at a Modern Love era pace.
Dance Yrself Clean - requires a bit of patience clocking in at over 8 minutes but the payoff is very strong after a minimalistic few minute intro. Song bursts out into some really cool dubby video game inspired electronica.
I Can Change - Wearing the Gary Numan and other synth legends proudly on his sleeves, here is the John Hughes movie soundtrack of 2010.
The New Pornographers: Together - 3.5 out of 6 disappointing for a band that has a high quality track record over last decade.
Highlights : Crash Years - A really nice track flexing the vocal might of the very talented Neko Case. This is a song that is quite accessible for these Canadian Indie poppers. The album has just too many 3 star or below tracks to be a hit for me.
Blitzen Trapper: Destroyer of the Void - 4 out of 6
Band out of Portland plays a fuzzy brand on folk oriented Indie Rock with a major tip of the cap to Progressive rock of the 70's
I can't help but think Queen, ELO, Jethro Tull were major forces in the constructing of this Neo-Prog first track called Destroyer of the Void. Fans of Philly roots rockers Dr Dog would dig this too.
Laughing Lover - Is a really cool vocal flow that has an awful lot in common with the best tracks from Ben Folds.
Below the Hurricane - is their interpretation of a Gordon Lightfoot railway classic. Fans of the Samples and Jam banders might like this. Widespread fans too.
Love and Hate - is a Bluesy number that chugs along like a Drive By Truckers or Calexico number.
Nada Surf: If I had a HiFi - 5.5 out of 6 Well done by the most tuneful band you've never heard
An album of covers that may not be very memorable to you. They lead off this album with a cover of Bill Fox's Electrocution which is a lofi track that allows Nada Surf to flex great vocal might in an inspiring version of this underground classic. The track Love Goes On is a spine tingling rendition of an under appreciated Aussie act the Go Betweens. Really awesome vibrant power pop. If you believe no music these days has rich powerful singing, try Nada Surf.
Then these guys cover an absolute power pop legend Dwight Twilley with and awesome "You Were So Warm" This is a song any lover of the Byrds, Badfinger, Big Star would just love.
Then they go with a Kate Bush track from later in her career that is very triumphant and textured called Love and Anger. These covers will inspire you to check out the originals as well.
A cover of Spoon, one of my faves, is maybe one of the weaker songs on the more for song choice on it.
They knock my socks off with a downright rocking rendition of The Moody Blues of Question. It jams hard. Preview it my Moody's fans.
Teenage Fanclub - Shadows 4.5 out of 6
Scotland Power Pop and vocal strong men have some really nice Adult alternative and Contemporary Indie Pop offerings with the likes of the exquisitely crafted "Baby Lee" that is a classically written Jangle pop gem that echoes again the Byrds or Hollies.
Dark Clouds - is another example of real songwriting skill as Teenage has oodles of it. Shins fans will like the simple pretty piano and melody here.
Some really cool tracks by recent artists that I have not gone balls deep on and bought the album
Dum Dum Girls - Jail La La - Available on the free sub pop sampler on amazon this track has all the earmarks of a simply perfect chamber pop a la Raveonettes or Magnetic Fields
Ted Leo & RX - Bottled in Cork
Deer Tick - Twenty Miles
