John Fahey - The Yellow Princess (2006)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/39quca

This particular John Fahey side is a personal favorite of many of his devout fans for several reasons. And although such a judgment is tough, if one were looking to own only one album by this unique guitarist, The Yellow Princess could be the one. The recording sound is among the best of his many releases; at the proper volume, the effect is as if one had taken up residency inside the sound hole of a giant acoustic guitar. The program of pieces is marvelously emotional and varied, with many moments of precisely stated harmonies moving at courageously slow tempos. The second piece on the first side, "View (East from the Top of the Riggs Road/B&O Trestle)," is surely one of his masterpieces, on a par with Charles Ives for musical Americana. It is a great added bonus to have liner notes by the artist, some of the best and most absurd text he ever came up with. Yet another reason this is one of Fahey's top sides is it allows a chance to hear one of his few collaborations with other musicians. Several members of the fine rock group Spirit are present, along with drummer Kevin Kelley, for several lovely pieces, including the "March! For Martin Luther King," a remarkably heartfelt tribute that could have gone on much longer. Taped sounds and electronic effects on "The Singing Bridge of Memphis, Tennessee" certainly predict the more noisy stuff Fahey would get into in the later part of his career. [The record was reissued in 2006 with the addition of three bonus tracks.] ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Spanish Dance Troupe (1999)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/wa3ozm

For too long, every Gorky's album was heralded by an expectant British press as the one that would finally break this fresh-faced band of proto-mediaeval avant-garde prog-folk outsiders to a mainstream audience. Not to be, though--Spanish Dance Troupe is a come-back album from the wilderness, after Gorky's were unceremoniously dumped by their major label paymasters Mercury. Spanish Dance Troupe is yet another wonderful album, of course--we'd hardly expect anything other from Gorky's. Safe to say, though, that the Top 40 won't be unduly troubled by "Poodle Rockin'", which sounds like Madness being kidnapped by a truckload of Cossacks. Nor, for that matter, should radio DJs be unduly tempted to spin tracks like the Dadaist pantomime of "Hair Like Monkey, Teeth Like Dog". But that's the great thing about Gorky's Zygotic Mynci--they're a living, breathing alternative to, well, pretty much everything, actually. --Louis Pattison

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - How I Long to Feel That Summer In My Heart (2001)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/4a8ozd

On How I Long To Feel That Summer in My Heart, Gorky's has made an album that feels as light as air, yet continues to grow with repeated listening. Initially, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci seemed like a backwoods acid test gone awry. Early albums were filled with dense psychedelic pop songs, whose surreal feel was aided by the band occasionally singing in its native Welsh, bizarre illustrations and photos depicting the band as forest-bound wizards and gnomes. Over its last few releases, however, Gorky's has refined its music and image, leaving behind the gimmicks and costumes for a subtler sound that is as hypnotic as it is catchy. Most intriguing is the band's ability to create songs that are both expansive and intimate, that flow with an improvisational feel without ever losing control. While the usual pop influences can be found within their music (Beach Boys, Beatles) it is the unexpected touches that give the songs heft. Taking its cues from Fairport Convention's unconventional folk sound, Van Morrison's mysticism and strangely enough, church hymnals, Gorky's songs are permeated with a darkness and longing that makes the music compelling. How I Long To Feel That Summer in My Heart is what should happen to psychedelic music once the light show gets boring. --Adam Silverman

Limbeck - Limbeck (04/2007)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4ZXKW0WW

...When Limbeck frontman Robb MacLean sings “It feels like I grew up too late” on Limbeck, you get the feeling that might be what he’s referring to—and with the band’s third full-length, they’ve finally done just that. Equal parts rock, Americana, pop and country, Limbeck proves that these four former punk rockers from Orange County and Milwaukee have finally grown into their cowboy boots and crafted a disc that everyone from The Bamboozle to Bonnaroo can appreciate....

“I’d say this record is more about people than places,” MacLean explains when asked about the disc’s central theme. This is abundantly obvious on tracks “Reading The Street Signs,” which recounts the details of an extended bus ride with a fiction writer’s eye for detail, or the raucous “Let’s Get Crazy,” which recalls some unheeded dating advice with memorable lines like, “If I was on the shore with you, I wouldn’t go in the sea.”

Musically, Limbeck is also a huge progression for the band. Instruments like ukulele, bar chimes, vocoder, horns and strings add new sonic textures to the band’s sound, while Beach Boys-esque harmonies fill out the melodies on tracks like the sunny opener, ”Trouble.” “On this record we had so much more time so it allowed us to really experiment with the songs,” Carrie explains about recording the album sporadically over a seven-week period last summer in Eudora, KS with longtime producer and friend Ed Rose (Get Up Kids, Motion City Soundtrack).

“We’re ecstatic about playing all of these songs,” he continues when asked if it feels daunting to get ready to begin another seemingly endless touring cycle in support of Limbeck. “I’m really interested in what this album will sound like live,” adding that the band will be adding a fifth member to fill out the album’s complex arrangements live. “I’m just excited for all of it,” he finally gushes, unable to contain his enthusiasm. “’Excited’ is a word that I use a lot these days.”

Brilliant sophmore release for the southern gothic singer/songwriter on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label is a bluesy, atmospheric-laced collection of 13 songs about loners, ghosts, devils, love & angels. 2001.
---------
Rolling Stone (3/15/01, p.81) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...These tracks ground themselves in White's flawless songcraft - melodies, hooks and choruses that are instantly memorable...freshened up by hip-hop beats and swirling atmospherics....transports the listener to the imagination's outskirts..." Entertainment Weekly (3/9/01, p.83) - "...Gothic folktales inspired by fire-and-brimstone religion, freedom-promising highways, and broken-down cars..." - Rating: B Q (3/01, p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Beatmasters Morcheeba and Sade's Andrew Hale give White and his cast of oddballs and ne'er-do-wells a multi-layered contemporary sheen....A few more crunching melodies and he would be genuinely flying, but this will most certainly do." Mojo (2/01, p.94) - "...Caustic country and slinky white funk, with acoustic guitars, banjos, synths and samples, and a vocal warping from Will Oldham at his most affecting to Johnny Dowd at his most pathological..." Alternative Press (2/02, p.65) - Ranked #11 in AP's "25 Best Albums of 2001" - "...an American treasure..." Magnet (4-5/01, p.91) - "...Long on urban beats and electronic effects...The settings and imagery...remain straight out of the Southern gothic tradition and in the very human scale of hand-to-mouth living..."

Whoa, dude! Finally - a brand new album from #1 stunna Shannon Wright, Let in the Light, drops May 8!

After four solo records on Quarterstick, Shannon has come back with her most revealing record yet. Let in the Light is for gray skies and quiet moments, for furtive emotions and uncompromising catharsis. With songs tinged with Bohemian folk, Parisian melodies and more piano than ever before, this record is full of honest emotion.

This time around, production was handled by Andy Baker, who also did Shannon's Dyed in the Wool and Maps of Tacit. All-time super friend Kyle Crabtree of Shipping News takes on drumming duties for the record.

Shannon's live shows have always been stellar happenings. If you want to catch one, you might want to head out to the massive All Tomorrow's Parties festival, curated this year by our own Dirty Three, and held April 27-29 in Somerset, UK.

So, round up your street teams now, and start drawing out your Let in the Light tattoos. May 8 is coming! Mount up!

Smoke - Heaven On A Popsicle Stick (1994)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/53vc6o

Another Reason To Fast, the sophmore album by Atlanta's Smoke, is positively drenched in the three d's of cabaret gloom: dissolution, dissipation, and desperation. Surname-free frontman Benjamin's gravelly vocals apply a decidedly Tom Waits-esque veneer to dusky tales of lost boyfriends and rotgut-fueled benders, while daubings of trumpet, cello, and timpani illuminate the music's darkest corners.
by David Sprague

New York Press
The saying in Atlanta is "Fuck the Olympics, but leave Benjamin alone," and the lead singer of Smoke certainly is the sickliest-looking sex symbol ever to compete for the role of the thinnest man in rock. The decadent air of Smoke's albums may evoke Tom Waits, but would-be country cousins like Nick Cave would absolutely adore the jury-rigged cello, banjo and cornet that propel this stellar combo. The band's live performances are right up there with well-known house-rockers like Mazzy Star, but the impressive album can only hint
at the glorious horror of watching Benjamin display himself on stage. In finding the rural beauty that separates languidness from boredom, Smoke has become the most Southern band around, turning nightclubs across America into long walks in the woods.

Smoke - Another Reason to Fast (1995)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ss58xn

That Smoke's most obvoius reference point is Tom Waits is both complimentary and misleading. Like Waits, Smoke's vocalist/lyricist Benjamin weilds an immediately striking, tattered growl that is particularly fond of wandering in and around shadowy places and downtrodden characters. His backing - cornet, banjo, cello, guitar and sparse percussion - weaves a similarly moody, rag-tag tapestry of color. But idiosyncracy comes in an unlimited variety of shapes and sizes, and Smokes brand of twisted Southern dispossession enjoys a universe all its own. Rather than lingering in mere histrionics or fabricated atmosphere, Smoke creates emotion through difficult, often disparate musical pathways. Benjamin's musings are pained, sarcastic and, at times, nerve rattling, while the melodic lines created by his bandmstes' brass and strings are understated and beautifully woeful, layered among a bed of plunking banjo and feathery electric guitar work. The world is an undeniably more interesting and eerie place as visualized by this kind of exquisite storytelling, and this Atlanta
collective's secon long-player creates a considerably rich and provocative one. While best as a whole, "When It Rains," "Train Song," Debbey's Song," and "Snake" are some of the record's best fasting tunes.

Christina Rosenvinge's third Smells Like Records outing, CONTINENTAL 62, works much of the same magic as its stellar precursor, FOREIGN LAND, and with many similar star indie musicians in the fold as well (Sonic Youth's Lee Renaldo and Steve Shelley among them). The recipe here is at once cinematic and delicate; it's music that's perfect for a rainy day tea and a swooning heart. With nods to Astrud Gilberto, Francoise Hardy, and Laetitia Sadler, Rosenvinge's gentle vocals keep the tunes constantly unfolding in ways that are sprightly but not twee, melancholy but not indulgent.

The Stooges - The Weirdness (03/2007)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6UBRCDML

Their rudely urgent brand of earsplitting garage rock and bawdy English blues straddled the '60s into the '70s, but, sadly, the Stooges disintegrated in 1973, leaving their insurgent leader Iggy Pop to power through more than three decades of music alone. But a phone call to the surviving members and siblings Ron (guitar) and Scott Asheton (drums) to play on Pop's 2003 record Skull Ring led to the improbable: a full-on reunion of a band that served as a precursor to the so-called birth of punk rock that would follow three years after its breakup. Employing producer Steve Albini (Nirvana) to capture a similar bare minimum to their legendary three-album catalog--three power chords and an archaic rhythm section co-anchored by bassist Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE)--these Stooges let Pop's in-your-face vocals capture the mundane: cruising for women, teenage autonomy, and finding love in a cash machine. But never fear that these late-middle-agers (Pop turns 60 a month after the album's release) feel the need to impede the volume. Songs such as "Trollin'," "Greedy Awful People," "She Took My Money," and "Mexican Guy" detonate like outtakes from 1970's Fun House. And with Iggy Pop showing no signs of slowing down and the Ashetons having nothing else to do, this band of Stooges stands a chance of outliving the first one. --Scott Holter

Devics - My Beautiful Sinking Ship (2001)

Music like this shouldn’t come from L.A. Its disposition isn’t sunny enough. These songs belong in a smoky speakeasy, slinking along the walls, chain smoking and breaking hearts. It’s the kind of music that doesn’t fit into any one time really. One moment, singer Sara Lov is torching it up, the next she’s knocking down mountains over a clatter of guitars. Not really from the past, and not really from now.

The third album from the Devics doesn’t stray too far from their last. They’re still all about broken hearts, dead lovers, broken hearts, and more broken hearts. They haven’t added drum machines or sequencers. No one got into Dub or Reggae and decided to incorporate it into the mix. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The Devics know how to set a mood. They lay the brooding on thick with big, resonating, production, and layers of spooky strings, bells and bending guitars. It’s the perfect soundtrack to a film noir that was never made, except maybe in your head.

“Heart and Hands” leads off the album with a twinkling piano melody that would sound at home in a scene from The City of Lost Children, or maybe Edward Scissorhand’s house. Whimsical and creepy, all at once. Enter the cello, and down goes the piano into a lower key. Sara Lov’s voice swings back and forth between a near growl and a damsel in distress. Music for your next claustrophobic dream.

Fitting that an album called My Beautiful Sinking Ship sways so much. Guitarist, Dustin O’ Halloran has a real knack for crafting melodies that undulate like waves. They sink and then rise again unexpectedly. As on the very tense, “Gold in the Girl”, where O’Halloran’s twangy guitar lurks and crawls around with the upright bass and gently tapped drums. It all just kind of simmers and finally pops. The tension comes to a head and everything comes falling down around Lov as she sings the most beautiful bile. She’s pissed, but boy is it pretty.

A dirge like rendition of Gershwin’s “The Man I Love”, lets Lov kick the vamp into high gear. Lov is probably one of the only female singers around today with the chops to coo Gershwin’s classic lyrics of longing. This vamp doesn’t really believe her man is coming. It’s one of the most urgent, nearly hopeless takes on this song that I’ve ever heard. Lov is singing the words, “Someday he’ll come along/ The man I love/ And he’ll be big and strong/ The man I love.”, but it’s like she already knows it won’t happen. She doesn’t believe it for a moment. There is no messing around with extraneous instrumentation or string sections here. Just piano, drums, bass, and a voice.
The most beautiful moment on the album is the shimmering, “I Broke Up”. O’ Halloran gently plucks a chiming melody over some ambient guitar and some lovely Rhodes piano. Sara Lov’s vocals float over the music, like she’s being lulled to sleep. It’s some of the loveliest heartbreak I’ve ever heard. You almost forget that this is some sad, sad stuff, and then your heart breaks into a million little tiny pieces.
Sure, this is all very melodramatic. Sure, Lov and O’Halloran’s lyrics veer dangerously close to sophomoric, overblown, teen poetry, but really, what lyrics don’t? It’s supposed to be overblown. It’s supposed to make you feel like the gloomiest bastard that ever walked the Earth. The Devics accomplish all this with grace, beauty and a few catchy melodies. Skulk away kids.

Devics - Push The Heart (2006)

Drifting in like Sunday morning drizzle, Push The Heart is a record that often sounds afraid to wake anybody up. The fourth full-length from LA's Devics continues the gentle flow of 2003's The Stars At Saint Andrea, but expands and softens the arrangements as guitarist/keyboardist Dustin O'Halloran goes for a Mazzy Star-like intimacy. Not that there hasn't always been a little Hope Sandoval in vocalist Sara Lov's lilting and lovely alto, but Devics miss Mazzy's nocturnal, psychedelic edge. The record's best moments come when O'Halloran and Lov decide it's OK to raise a small ruckus and combine drawn-out phrasing with some rhythmic momentum. "Distant Radio" makes wonderful use of Lov's tone, and recalls some of The Sundays' wistful bliss, while "A Secret Message To You" features a cute typewriter click for tempo and atmosphere. But too often, songs leave compelling ideas dangling around the edges. "Salty Seas" mines a Cat Power vibe, but can't match Chan Marshall's emotional highwire kick. O'Halloran jumps in on vocals for "If We Cannot See" but his flat delivery is too close in the mix and blunts the song's dynamic range. Devics were obviously after a looser, subdued feel here, but a few targeted doses of passion and contrast would have made for something less somnambulistic and more quietly dramatic. --Matthew Cooke

Sancho - Mystery Year (2007)

http://rapidshare.com/files/14608930/sanych.rar.html

If a dusty piano sat in an empty house began to play itself, would it make a sound...? Well I reckon yes, and if it did it would then there's a fighting chance it would sound similar to the gorgeous 'Mystery Year' from Dorset's Sancho - wherein thirteen deeply atmospheric and utterly beguiling tracks unfold to create a tapestry of tarnished beauty. Weaved from folk guitars, found sounds, clicking circuitry and the age worn piano, 'Mystery Year' sees the nine piece collective who comprise Sancho drifting in and out of compositions with an ease that is completely infectious - resulting in the listener being fully cocooned in its warm and welcoming folds. Opening with the cunning avant flourishes of 'We've Missed You', Sancho cleverly combine a slew of disparate elements to form a warbling and mournful introduction that wears its rustic viola and junkyard theatrics with consummate ease. Piecing together influences that range from Krautrock and elctro-folk, through to IDM and post-rock, Sancho's vision is broad without becoming impersonal - as the cracked majolica of 'Nobodies' recalls Dictaphone before 'Self (Opened) Self' chucks everything into the mix and comes out smiling. Elsewhere, 'I'm On Your Side' is a fabulous Euro-scented folk ballad, 'Spare Rooms' gets a grasshopper in for rhythm duties, whilst '20 Messages' gets the blood pumping through some energetic rock hubris. Tender yet poignantly fierce, 'Mystery Year' is full of surprises - all of them good.
