Akron / Family's new one
2006-10-19 10:33:14
Tagged :folk, indie, lo fi, rock Young Gods‘ Akron/Family has a new album called “Meek Warrior” out now. I was gonna continue posting some more electronic stuff, but as soon as I heard this track “Gone Beyond”, I changed my mind. I thoroughly enjoyed their self titled debut as well and their bittersweet sound and unconvential song making skills have already earned them a spot in my heart, but I didn’t really know what to expect from their new album. Well things haven’t changed much for them, maybe the songs have gotten a bit simpler without losing anything from their power and the album is obviously shorter with just 7 tracks. However it is said that if you truly believe in your tracks, it’s better to avoid adding fillers. (Remember Slayer’s Reign in Blood?). For example it only took a minute for me to love this simple song called “Gone Beyond“. Nothing more than an accoustic guitar, a touching chorus and some percussi

Danielson
2006-10-23 23:45:55
Tagged :band, indie, naive, popNo need to introduce Danielson, and their lovely song “Did I step on your trumpet“. They’re a large family of naive indie pop band, similar in lots of ways to Architecture in Helsinki. They’ve recently released a 7″ on Anticon, including a remix of the song and another track that gives the 7″ its name “I’m slow but I’m sloppy“. Here’s that remix and if you haven’t watched it please take your time and watch the video for “Did I step on your trumpet”, it’s a little bit wacky & odd but it’s so much fun, actually it might be the best video I’ve watched in 2006. Buy it from Tonevendor. Did I step on your remix Danielson - Did I step on your Trumpet


The Souljazz Orchestra
2008-02-29 05:56:07
Today’s story is about Ottawa’s groovy Souljazz Orchestra . Now we all know Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and Canada’s primary export is multiculturalism. I’m just kidding!. The Turkish education system never teaches you cool stuff like this, I learnt this by myself on the internet. Anyways, based on the fact that Canada’s vast landscape [...]

Here’s an outstanding album that’s blown me from track no1. The mysterious French-Vietnamese producer Onra has produced an album in the vein of J Dilla, Madlib the Beat Konducta’s Indian album and Galapagos 4’s Deejay OM. Chinoiseries is an instrumental hip hop album with 32 short tracks constructed from samples taken out of old and [...]

The first is by the mighty Baba Zula, who’s one of the handful of internationally notable artists coming out of Istanbul. It’s a shame I haven’t written about their new album, but let this [...]

Phalangius
2008-03-12 05:36:11
From Cambridge comes the mysterious CDR from Phalangius with a bag of synth tunes made solely on the Roland Juno 6. I sense that this is a fake identity though, as did clone.nl, which think that he’s simply Legowelt. Anyhoo, in the vein of Ghost Box Records & Belbury Poly, Sven Libaek, Mort Garson and [...]


Christian Prommer’s Drumlesson
2008-03-14 05:02:25
Making covers of well known stuff are almost always a good catch. However getting to do a cover album of the greatest electronic anthems ever straight on is a mammoth task. Simply for the fact that these are really the biggest electronic anthems ever and you don’t have the chance to go wrong. Decide to [...]

Here’s an older review by fistula_spume from MOG, which I forgot to publish. I was going to keep on writing a few more jazz/nujazz/beat stuff but I don’t have the time now, so enjoy this offtopic obscure synth gem… I have played this album over and over again for a couple of weeks now. I can’t [...]

If you’re into nu-jazz ala Compost or even into the Cafe del Mar series, chances are you have already heard of this guy as his tracks have graced more than 100 releases, be [...]

Ok, first up, I’m in the process of redesigning & adding functions to undomondo, i’ve been planning to do it for a few months (well, more than a few), but as I’m not really skilled in designing & busy most of the time, I couldn’t. This results in less frequent updates as well, because the [...]
