New releases (from Other Music)
Efterklang – Magic Chairs (2010)
Efterlkang’s Magic Chairs is the first release for this Danish orchestral-pop band on the high-profile 4AD label (supposedly signed after their heart-stopping show at Other Music’s SXSW Lawn Party last year). The soundscapes of the group’s excellent Tripper (2004) and Parades (2007) albums on Leaf could reflect the eerie somberness of Sigur Ros, the glitchy electronic pop of Mum, and the quieter, yet tense and dramatic sides of Explosions in the Sky, yet always with an honesty and personality that was Efterklang’s alone. Magic Chairs features an elegant, refined version of their sound, poppy and melodic, with more conventional arrangements than on past releases. This album is engaging — natural yet abstract. The songs have sweet, dreamy male and female vocals interwoven with lush sweeping strings, drums, and piano, with a subtle push and pull of tension. It’s the feeling of winter almost ending and spring about to begin, and marks a new season in the evolution of this wonderful band.
Hard to believe, but apparently San Francisco’s Wooden Shjips might be a touch too ornate for its main man Ripley Johnson. At least, that’s the impression I get after taking a listen to Escape, the latest mini-LP from Moon Duo, his decidedly more “restrained” project with Sanae Yamada. Following up on a pair of 12″ singles, the duo’s first for Woodsist harnesses the mantra-like power of Kraut repetition, hitches it to searing, two-chord garage moves, and rides off into a grimy, smoky sunset. There’s little variation from track to track, but that hardly matters, as Johnson and Yamada are more than content to pound the same tempos into the ground over and over again, forming a backdrop for some searing solos, distant vocals, and gritty keys. All told, tracks like “Motorcycle, I Love You” and “Stumbling 22nd Street” play like bugged out amalgams of blown out Velvets or a more zoned/faded Spacemen 3 riffing right along with Suicide — ultimately worth checking out even if you’re never vibed on Wooden Shjips.

The Dandelions – a retrospective sampler
This post is quite auto-celebrative. Just few words to say that The Dandelions where formed in april 2003 and splitted in march 2004.
During that period we have recorded some tracks, composed in few days and recorded @ JBP studio (ex Audiar in Piacenza).
Love.

The Hermits – more videos on YouTube
Thank to Frank Parkinson and his VHS video conversion. Some tracks coming from Mesozoic so the video quality is quite poor but we’re a low budget band, you know.
Enjoy!
