Chapter 32 - Young Heretics - We Are The Lost Loves / Hacienda – Big Red and Barbacoa / Estereotypo - Love Your City


Little news but important to identify this duo, formed by Matthew Wright, best known for his work with The Getaway Plan, alternative rock band formed in 2004 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia , finally disbanded after one album and a handful of singles and demos. Despite their growing success, have announced their purpose in February 2009, so each member has passed so a new musical project. So the young Matthew , put aside the project Getaway Plan at the height of their success in Australia with the album "Other Voices, Other Rooms" is has taken the passenger seat here, but , with the wonderful voice of Kitty Hart to take the indie duo to the ears of Melbourne, Australia, and no doubt, for a longer time. Young Heretics is a project powered by electric piano and drums, and above all without the guitar riff-heavy radio that distinguished the disk group. It is, as suggested by the title of the EP by the end of 2009, "Music for dreamers." We Are The Lost Loves part with the slow and dreamy Animal War with a song that reminds us of the best things about Bjork. Bones of a Rabbit , Dark Prince, Noah's Ark songs that remain impressed with the piano as an essential tool or only guitar accompaniment to the final cabaret Trapperkeeper . You can compare with the Dresden Dolls more calm. To listen to. 3 stars.

Big Red & Barbecue is instead the second album from HACIENDA San Antonio, Texas, United States
, and like its predecessor, Loud Is the Night, was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Registered the tail end of the year for their tour of clubs and festivals throughout North America, Australia and Europe (opening for Dan Auerbach and Dr. Dog), this new album brings with it the "groove" and heavy flavor '60s, the band's unmistakable stamp. The result is a mixture of Tex-Mex rock, retro-pop and R & B that can only be described as South Texas Soul. BIG RED & Barbecue captures the attitude of a band ready to play rock'n'roll, ... a mix of harmonies of the Beach Boys, Stax Records classic groove and a guitar sound reminiscent of '60s pop-rock side with his melodies, classic tours and irresistible swagger. The Hacienda write eccentric pop songs and play with splashes of T. Rex and Beach Boys. Dan Auerbach has produced the album with a jam made in the kitchen and made the echoes in the bathroom as a Texas version of Paul McCartney's 1970 solo debut homemade. Compared to their debut less Beatles and more Beach Boys, The Band and Gram Parsons. And to think that their best side is to live. To have. Almost 4 stars.

Finally we come to Europe to review a group of English indie rock and electro founded in 2007 in that of Santander . Estereotypo are one of the most important discoveries of Rock independent of Biscay. What they call "road-show of rock and dance has attracted thousands of people in their 2009 Tour, thanks to their previous album JOIN THE FUNKY ELECTRO PARTY! to participate in the festivities!. U n success on the Internet and their MySpace is visited at a rate of 1000 per day. With a reputation and an army of fans built up a force that does not disappoint live, are becoming an emerging phenomenon, and best of all, fun.
Love Your City is the title chosen by the trio for their second. This new disc, mastered by Mike Marsh (Chemical Brothers, Phoenix ...) at the London studio The Exchange, contains eleven songs that sound powerful, direct and dancefloor as only they can do their godfathers (from I to Franz Ferdinand). A delicious and fun fusion of indie-rock with electronic music that makes the Estereotypo one of the most interesting and innovative at the time. 3 stars and 1 / 2.

Planters Warts Dying?

Chapter 31 - Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - I Learned The Hard Way / Eli Paperboy Reed - Come And Get It / Baustelle - I Mistici dell'Occidente


In different ways, I am reviewing a series of records that go back to the years 60/70, that is, to soul, blues, and then the classic r'n'b. Their specificity did not pregiudca quality. In short, this Easter we take a dip in the past.
The first disc is to Sharon Jones with its The Dap Kings produces I Learned The Hard Way , disco good but not great when compared with Previous 100 Days, 100 Nights (blues album of 2007).
Meanwhile, just for instance, we are talking about the champions of the soul, comparable to Aretha Franklin or Etta James-2000s, and boasts collaborations with the likes of David Byrne, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Booker T and Michael Bublé, understand?
This fourth work of our loved one, recorded on eight-track analog in Brooklyn to Daptone Records' House of Soul Studios, takes us straight to those records sixties-seventies closer to His Majesty King of Soul James Brown, so blood and sweat that you can wring our cd that we can wash the floors of the house. The Dap Kings do an excellent job, do you remember "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse ? The session-man they were, and take home the victory with ease. Less funky and more soulful than the previous, but well above the 3 stars. The second disc
now is Come And Get It
of Eli "Paperboy" Reed male star of the American soul today.
Eli Reed began playing teenager in his native Boston and through a chance encounter, he went right after school to Clarksdale in the Mississippi Delta to work the legendary WROX, radio station dedicated to the blues. While in Clarksdale has played in various clubs, including the Delta Blues Museum, there's the grizzled veterans have coined his "nickname as Paperboy Reed says," I used this hat, my grandfather, who is now retired. All in Clarksdale had a nickname. They gave me one and now sticks with me. " Soon he moved to study in Chicago, where he expanded his musical palette by playing the organ for Sunday morning behind a church in the tiny South Side of Chicago before, and full of confidence, he moved to New York City and was soon headlining clubs coolest Brooklyn with his red-hot R & B band that dusted. After two albums, Reed has achieved success by receiving a nomination for 2009 Mojo Awards in the UK. And now comes the first job at a major, the Capitol Records Parlophone Records in the U.S. and the UK.
The job is already a cut above previous releases and all that sound close to the greats of the past, see Sam Cooke, Otis Redding , Wilson Pickett and James Brown
"For me," says Reed, " is the only way I know to write pop songs. These are the kind of artists who have been affected and these influences are a big part of what I do. When I pick up a guitar to write a song, that's what comes out. I'm not trying to put up something new, this is what comes out, this is what happens, I can not sing in any other way. " 3 stars.
And finally we get home to talk about pop. Unbelievable but true, Baustelle with " The mystics of the West "are finally center. Our Tuscan finally come out of the eternal promises and churn out a beautiful disc. It was time, I must say that the music Italic (and also for them) now I feared the worst and hope there will be a rebirth as in the eighties where he created a movement that had taken us in different ways to appreciate both the Litfiba that CCCP. I must say that the previous work titled Amen, even If the winner of so Targa Tenco 2008, I was not pleased, in fact the title for me was both in name and fact. The intelligent lyrics now married to different facets of pop music, touching on various genres from pop-rock beat and the song writing perfectly thanks to the work of Pat McCarthy, already working with REM, U2 and Madonna (as what it's like a producer with controconigli?). There are also moments but at least it's a decadent Italian album to digest. Almost three-star consideration.
