U.V Avnur - To border Songs

Delicacy, pleasure, grace: These " Border Songs " (songs in margin) inspires only that to us. And yet the mystery remains thick around dU.V Avnur, of its true name Yuval Avnur. One knows only few things about this young person-man, if this nest quil lives in New York, close to Brooklyn. It rather was seen side of Toronto, a hut lost localised at the fine bottom of the forest, perhaps quite close to stage of the folksinger Hayden . The Web page which to him is dedicated dailleurs is as much frustrating that its folksongs is mystical and generous. One y dégotte full with downloadable fabulous pieces free (including three To border Songs ), May no trace of biography to be put under the tooth. All these wonders available for all, cest this quon calls a sublime waste, and cest for that that everyone must benefit from it. Yuval Avnur has the chance to davoir a voice fluette, which enables him to go up rather high, even if its timidity attaches it a little - but this nest not to displease to us. Avnur likes to drown its archangelic songs dune reverb and déchos psychedelic, of divine choruses. With its acoustic guitar, its arpeggios whirl time dune waltz folk (Falling) or of pop songs to the size dâme evoking the Buckley offspring sometimes . It speaks to us about constellation (Porcupine Heart) and solitary heart (Volunteer). Its pure, crystalline melodies could even make jalouser that of Trash Can Sinatras , however last Master on the matter. So well quon says quil ny does not have an ounce of lowness in lâme of this young man. Dailleurs, on the small pocket, it raises the head, a break is tearing in the sky. The light nest not far. Seriously recommended.

French Teen idol

Not to leave embobiner by this name worthy dun group of pre-pubescent college rock'n'roll in Superbus, French Teen Idol sépanouit in a synthetic post-rock'n'roll in M83 . In source dItalie, the Roman Andrea di Carlo, handles sampler and keyboard not with a sensitivity Fellinienne , but rather Malickéenne . Influenced by the contemplative dollies of fields as far as the eye can see, the sonic breath which slips by on this "wild ballade" transforms little by little into a storm of human desolation. A minimal piano, some limp at elementary rates/rhythms and to the samples are enough as decoration with these instrumental flights which tighten us a trap. Extracts of voice off are grafted time with other on screens mélodico-ambient, as on the colossal introduction Shouting edge cuts different Meanings. And the seven titles which follow hold the distance. Described like "experimental project" by its principal interested, laccointance melody léloigne however of radicalism dun Fennezs and brings it closer to most solar Manual , on its head doeuvre Ascend . The accros of the label Morr Music can throw on this jewel the closed eyes. By hoping for quun advised French label (Suspension Activates for example), will be able to take over on our premises. But in this case, with the fresh breeze brought by french Teen Idol, certain compatriots will have to repair itself.

Hi-fi killers

Good, one will cheat a little. The Killers Hi-fis are already distributed on the label "O(u)Ie!" Italian Nicotine Records. This Split EP 7 "sees them crossing iron (or rather the furrow) with the mafieux trio Los Dragos. Split by the "lightning" dun Johnny Thunders & its Heartbrakers and Pere Ubu , this duet explosive toulonnais likes to make resound the roughness of the guitars on approximate amplifiers. Both instantaneous rock'n'roll nroll spit grazes about it opposite A reconcile us with a certain idea of the Stoogien rock'n'roll. Formed in 2003, the Killers Hi-fis, have their headquarters around Toulon and give each other names as cool as them Ramones . Aim at the table: " Anastasujevitch (born John cummings, 15 may 1976, France; guitar/vocals), Laugier (born Douglas colvin, 14 april 1976, France; bass/vocals) and Pages (born jeffrey hyman, 10 march 1976, France; drums) ". A whole program Messrs! This thin single makes it possible all the same to be made a solid opinion: the Killers Hi-fis like the guitars "garage" dirtily elegant, a distortion too cramée (Al cogs will say us) and of the mouths broken which breathe the flame "rock'n'roll". There is taste in it, and over all, of lénergie. Side of Toulouse, one owes marrer well with lécoute of Parisian lamateurism, very side these times... Ha yes, the two titles of Los Dragos are more nervous, a little less class, but that moves nevertheless. The people are delighted.

Pierre - 1+2+3+4 = 10

Pierre Bessero ("Pierre "for intîmes) is a compulsive eater of the sound: since 1998, it cooks only discs delectro-folk - more and more magnet that folk dailleurs - at a rate of two per annum and this with a quasi-metronomic regularity. Cash well détrôner Robert Pollard in his search dériger a discographic pyramid, Pierre (and his musicians bricolo attaching) charms as much by his qualities as its awkwardness. Its new opus 1+2+3+4 = 10 distils a magnet-pop broadside of synthés cheap and cordial. Its voice really does not sing, but on Things That Stay the Same one would believe to hear Damon Albarn . It is necessary of course to make a little the sorting in the medium of these odds and ends, but everyone should find its account there. Because over all, Pierre preserves this pop aptitude: namely torcher of the pop songs solid. The amateurs of involving melodies will be filled (Where Can We Find Lost, Its hardware To Believe) while passing by the bidouillages magnet a little zélés in Stephen Jones or Her Space Holiday . Without being really cow, one can affirm that lenclos musical of Pierre more shelters depressive Noiraude whom the Cow which laughs (it was necessary to make it, sorry). With 1+2+3+4 = 10 , laddition is right, the tip will be generous (oula Paulo, cétait that of too, Bang!).

The Clerks DEMO

" Indie rock'n'roll from Paris and Manchester ". The wording placarded on the site of Clerks aims in the thousand. A rock'n'roll very Parisian, with a small dancing grain recovered on lautel rock'n'roll of Stone Pinks and Smiths . This quartet whose average dâge turns around 25 years, draws its name from famous film of Kevin Smith Clerks where two wankers drew from the plans on comet by dreaming dune better life. Dailleurs the 7th art, cest a little the discussion thread (or the electric cord) of the group since cest in a school of cinema that all started for them. The Clerks even already knew their quarter dheure Warohlien of glory since the title "Long Lost Wind" appears in the original band of film Between Its Hands , (with Benoît Poelvoorde in stopping psychopathe), but that cest another history. To return from there to the music, this first EP 5 titles makes in the very effective one, of the guitars a bit noisy, a beat gauged exactly for the track with stars and of the federator refrains that lon mâchouille also easily quun chewing-gum. In short of pop Bubble Gum which finally sapparenterait with Bleached . Dailleurs, Clerks sen do not hide, they want to make popular music. However, there remain enough darrogance in their music not to do too many concessions. Clear Cest, Clerks can to it péter, they have a solid EP 5 titles. (special Mention with Echoin, the best title of Strokes while waiting for their third album).

The Announcers - Yeats is Greats

Behind The Announcers, hide Brian Miller and Peter Musselman, a duet of multi-instrumentalists (with them two they whistle, play of the piano, laccordéon, the guitar, the banjo, low, the violin, lorgue, the keyboard, the battery), originating in California and author already of five remarkable albums failing this to davoir noticed. The latest to date is a pure wonder whose starting point consisted in putting in music texts of William Butler Yeats. Seven poetries of the Irish poet were thus retained, to which the musicians added nine original titles (majority instrumental), composing with final sound fabric dune upsetting delicacy. Between folk pastoral and radiant instrumental escapes, in inventive and unceasingly renewed arrangements, Yeats is Greats nest not, in the tone, without evoking Seven Swans de Sufjan Stevens . Endowed to transcend the sadness which haunts the words of Yeats in the illuminant of immediate melodies, the duet makes resound the beats dune language without age and lets level a desire despace and daltitude that dimension intimist of this kind of nengendre project not always. Some guests in addition came to bring an invaluable key, in particular Ara Anderson (with the trumpet) and the violonist Jolie Holland (Brian Miller was its guitarist appointed on its the first two albums, this undoubtedly explaining that), whose lémouvante presence on "The Mountain Tomb" causes some memorable shiver. Highly recommended.

Iron & The Albatross - S/T

One precisely finds the violin (but also the electric guitar and the voice) of Pretty Holland within the new training of the multi-instrumentalist Ara Anderson , Iron & The Albatross. Heard in particular at Jonathan Richman or Tom Waits ( Alice and Blood Money ), the Californian musician composed here lensemble of the twelve titles of lalbum, primarily instrumental and at the height suggestive capacity. With the crossing of the chamber music (all open windows), jazz, traditional folk and music of circus, this disc bathed cinematographic dambiances would not spoil in the medium of the BO of John Zorn (the series dalbums Filmworks published on its Tzadik label and quil realized within the documentary film framework). Playing admirably well of the silence and rises of tension, of lombre and light, méditatives potentialities of the string instruments and dramatic accents of coppers, musical reminiscences of old Europe of lest like quite current mixture of the styles, this music should cause some agitation at those for which names of Clogs , Bell Orchestre or Curtis Ellers American Circus also evoke sound landscapes resting quenivrants.
