selbst zum kaufen ist die Seite prima.. Vorgänger Alben werden dort gerne mal für 5$ (momentan ganze 3,51 Euro) als FLAC Download angeboten. Wenn man das mal mit Amazon oder gar iTunes vergleicht...
und wieder was kostenloses bei Bandcamp.. Indie Pop/Folk Pop:
Whim, Po & Emili - Painted
Zitat:Whim Po & Emili is a band from Minneapolis, MN. Colin Weaver and Emily Robertson began as an acoustic duo playing small shows in and around Northfield, Minnesota in 2007. As their following grew in Northfield’s basement bar, college scene Clifton Nesseth joined and completed the group in October of 2009.
WPE has released two full-length albums: Whim, Po and Emili (2009) and Painted (2011), and one EP: Maybe Baby (2010). Their music is described as “a bit of everything, ranging from rock n’ roll to jazz to pop.” However, it is most easily classified as Indie Rock. It takes the words and images of folk tradition and imbues them with the melodies and rhythms of popular music. Intoned with the stories and imagery they encounter, their music embodies world around them.
Over the last four years Whim Po & Emili has performed throughout the upper Midwest. Their musical diversity lends their sound to both large concert venues and small, intimate shows.
The band lives through what they call, “the viaducts of expression.” They continue to enjoy the experience of creating and sharing their music.
Ein paar Dollar kann man ruhig springen lassen. Schließlich müssen die von irgendwas leben und man bekommt ja auch eine Gegenleistung. Auf Bandcamp zahle ich eigentlich gerne, viel lieber als auf Amazon.
schon wieder Bandcamp und etwas wofür ich gerne Geld ausgegeben hab (obwohl ich es auch umsonst hätte bekommen können):
Indietronic aus Berlin/Hamburg: .computer
Zitat:Wenn die Landschaft auf einer Reise vorbei fliegt, die Gedanken den verwischenden Farben nachhängen und nicht minder abenteuerlich sind, wie diese klare und beatlastige Untermalung mit ihren süßen Melodien, dann… ja dann geht es einem doch auch ganz gut. Das Debütalbum give me a frame von der Hamburger/Berliner Band .computer begeisterte mich schon… – öhm, eigentlich immer noch.
Mit pilots setzen .computer genau dort an, wo einem die Erinnerungssynapsen mächtig ins Gedächtnis klingeln werden, daß die Songs eindeutig auf die Kappen von pesca (vocals, guitars, programmings), torben (bass, vocals, synths), paul (programmings, synths, laptop performance) gehen. Nur kann nicht unbedingt eine Popmusik-Schublade aufgemacht werden, was soweit auch für die Jungens spricht und wohl auch fürderhin für sie sprechen wird.
Das Konzeptalbum pilots liefert und bedient intelligent den Indie-Pop-Sektor-Freund und kann diesen sogar auf länger hin glücklich machen. Die Musik der drei Jungs ist durchaus Radio- bzw. Airplay-tauglich, obwohl sie einem das fast geliebte Independent-Feeling vermittelt und sich schön fern ab des üblichen Pop-Geschmadders bewegt. Wer also zum Beispiel bei The Postal Service Pipi in die Augen bekommt und anfängt seine Repeat-Funktion zu quälen, dürfte mit pilots sehr glücklich werden.
Meiner einer wünscht sich zumindest jeweils eine richtige lange 80′iger-jahremäßige Maxi-Single-Version von artlaws und take it easy – mit schön fetter Flanger-Gitte und noch mal so richtig Bass-Extra. Als B-Seiten böten sich bestens a ghost on your shoulder und home leave home an. Warum macht das eigentlich kaum jemand mehr…?
Fazit:
pilots macht wirklich Spaß und ist abwechslungsreich.
Ein mehrmaliges Anhören fördert den Appetit auf mehr – auf live und direkt.
my dear mister singing club stampft mich nun in den Feierabend. Danach nochmal schnell artlaws für die Nachbarn laufen lassen…
Zitat:Clotworthy is Andrew Clotworthy, a 23-year old singer-songwriter from Philadelphia. Influenced by the do-it-yourself attitude of early They Might Be Giants, the Magnetic Fields, and Ween, he has amassed a vast, eclectic catalog of bedroom recordings over his two years of living in the city. His music is characterized by traditional pop song structure with a heavy influence on melody combined with his frank, personal lyrics.
He has played at various venues across the Philly/South Jersey area, including The Raven Lounge, The M Room, Doc Watson's, North Star Bar, The Fire, The Grape Room, Fuel House Coffee Co., and Progressive Coffee House.
Zitat:Laura Kidd’s debut album is an impressive demonstration of her multiple skills. The Young Punx co-writer and vocalist is also a talented bassist (having toured with the likes of Tricky), and has not only recorded and co-produced everything on Disarm herself, but also designed the artwork and made the videos. She Makes Music, then, and Art, and Film… Having toured the album by Megabus after its earlier, limited release in 2010, this wider reissue now provides an opportunity to properly appraise Kidd’s achievement.
Disarm is a strikingly full and multilayered set. Nominally ‘acoustic’ music, of the likes found here on ‘Scared To Capsize’, ‘Let This Be’ and ‘I Am’, is rarely this engaged, passionate and upfront. Although the guitar is the main weapon in Kidd’s armoury – looped and strummed, it veers from unplugged sweetness to electric, heavy riffing – the mix is also enhanced from time to time by her use of other instruments. Harpist Kat Arney’s contribution to ‘No Fireworks’ only enhances the song’s complicated yet ultimately moving love-song-that’s-not-quite-a-love-song feel.
Piano recurs throughout the album, whether leading the dark and doomy anti-war rhetoric of ‘NIMN’, bringing a touch of music hall jaunt to ‘Eye Spy’, or adding single, sombre, alternating notes (and with them a sense of gravity) to the concluding track ‘(Love) Like Liars’. Synths, too, are employed for texture, adding a hard edge to the Garbage-like ‘Got Milk’ and bleeps to counterpoint the unsettling percussive taps on the driven, angry ‘A-Hole’; only on ‘GhostsAndShadows’ do they add lightness: tinkling and contributing to the light, lovely and wistful mood of the track.
Mostly, though, this is music with attitude and a seemingly deep-seated anger to express and vent. On ‘No Fireworks’, Kidd sings that there is “so little to fight about”, but elsewhere she finds ample scope – from the anti-war campaign of ‘NIMN’ to ‘Let This Be’, which sings of “dropping bombs in foreign fields”. Much of the emotion seems to stem from a sense of betrayal (‘Chicken’, ‘A-Hole’), or love gone wrong (‘Olympian’), confirming that love can truly be a battlefield.
With an endearingly English enunciation – especially noticeable on ‘Scared To Capsize’, ‘Chicken’ and ‘No Fireworks’, the latter track all glottal stops and attitude – one senses that this is not an artist to pander to conventions or compromise with her creativity. As she puts it at the album’s close, on ‘(Love) Like Liars’, “All I’m asking for is a little soul / a little fire”. Soul, fire and more are all unarguably what She Makes War delivers.

Zitat:Well, Canada strikes again. This time it’s with a group called The Fight from Edmonton who are about to release their first LP in July titled New Young Electric.
This thing is great. Solid tracks from start to finish that aren’t pretentious, contrived, or trying to be something they can’t be. They flow with ease from the second you drop the needle on the record. (ok, I don’t have the 180 gram vinyl yet but am definitely psyched they’ll be releasing one!)
The guys are putting out the record on their own startup label, Paperbird. I definitely take my hats off to them for doing that. These guys are putting in the effort all across the board and I hope it pays off. They’ve got solid material so it’d be a shame not to see the group and label take off.
Have a listen to 2 tracks off of New Young Electric.
I’m definitely psyched for the vinyl release. The Fight have put out a solid record and it’s one I’d be happy to add to my collection of fine wax. Some people like Fine China, I dig on Fine Wax. To each his own, right? My preference just sounds better…
