The hangover continue so I'll post a couple brief reviews of albums I've been enjoying because its been a good few weeks for music (I'll leave out the new Neko Case and Black Lips for another time). First, the new Akron/Family (Set Em' Wild, Set Em' Free) leaked and after numerous listens I can confidently this is their strongest album since the split with Angels of Light. Less hippy drum circle and with a more refined noise, three new tracks, two old:
The new Swan Lake (Enemy Mine) also leaked and being a huge destroyer and frog eyes fan-boy
this one has been on heavy rotation. More together than Beast Moans its definitely palatable than I would of assumed (I'm not sure if this is a strength or a weakness). Again three new tracks, two old:
Moving on, after a long delay Edmonton's The Faunts have a new album out (Feel Love. Thinking Of.). I remember seeing this band in 2002 after the release of High Expectation/Low Results, which remains in my mind one of the most under rated albums in recent memory. While hushed lows are missing on the new album it strikes a nice balance between thier earlier work and the synth-heavy ep they released. Four new songs, three old songs:
I randomly stumbled across Fanfarlo this week through their black cab session, and found out they just released a new album (Resevoir). With vocals that ocillate (between Clap You Hands Say Yeah! and at other times Beirut) chunky/catchy guitars, and pop melodies, its tough not to be a sucker for Fanfarlo. In the same vein, Throw Me The Statue have a new ep out (Purpleface) and while I can't find anywhere to download the entire thing the one track floating around, Ship, is enticing. Ok, so three Fanfarlo songs, one new Throw Me A Statue song and four old one:
Finally, two bangers, because I gotz to keep it real. Amidst rumours of death, crack smoking, etc. there is Madvillian/MF Doom album floating around. Also, not new but new to me, there is a Kayne produced remix of Santogold's Brooklyn Go Hard with Jay-Z which is surprisingly great.
Here is the two part links and as always support the artists, see them live, buy their albums, yada yada yada...
