The refreshing sound wave Metric 'Breathing Underwater'

Yesterday I asked the duty to stop listening to those groups who know Poster Primavera Sound 2012. Nevertheless committed the sin of listening to a stream - which at first seemed legal but in the end it was not - from "Synthetica" Metric's new album. That led me to fall into a loop-reescucha hear that still exists and that threat extended to, at least past the famous festival in Barcelona.

One of the topics that I was hooked from the beginning has been 'Breathing Underwater' ('Breathing Underwater'). The Metric electro-rock frenzy is still there, but the sound resources have been synthesized in order to give up her way to an even more enchanting essence of which met in "Live It Out", "Grow Up And Blow Away" and the fascinating "Fantasies" . That point so refreshing that characterizes this song we love, and that is why we could not help presentational as a preview of what will be released on June 12.

Remember that there is still time to make you Stereo-box with vinyl or disk / CD through Metric's official website.

Atzenfrei and fun

A common misconception claims so happy, everything in this country have even remotely to do with technology, must be perse-musically and lyrically imaginative undemanding - cheap party tunes, march, for Shame in the corner. Well, this thesis lies already at Deichkind, get the reference volume number 1 from Hamburg, not upright - "great creator of language," the Sueddeutsche, a "high culture collective" even according to the Frankfurter Rundschau - yes, what is it now? Do not rely on's cliché - even at reference volume number two, the chip shop from Geisenhausen goes Berlin, which has sold just on Audiolith with "Dolphinarium" her third album, and exuberant carnival tooting about as far as HP Baxter of Günter Grass.
Surely no coincidence that this album begins with a wistful look back at past, missed periods ("Of all the excess") - carefree, because naively, the past seems Frittenbude approaching their generation more so than on previous albums with the holy seriousness of the disillusioned youth. Where is the hamburger cronies still celebrate the holidays command by decree, we must seek to chip shop a long time - "Today, only one" is perhaps the only title that carries a little of the spontaneity and abandon the old days in itself. Over - throughout the rest of the fourteen pieces bear frustration, helplessness and anger in the subtext, all well thought through well thought out, sometimes a bit wooden, but always witty.
Have clear commitments can miss Martin Steer, John Roegner, and Jacob, guitarist still never, this time there's with "Homeless" more and "Germany 500" ("... your Nazis, here where they hingehörn, here where they bother you, no one here where appearance it well, because they stand to you super ... ") less hedged prompts the understanding of the band - view property for its directness, it must now be almost thankful that times have become more arbitrary and anonymous. If this in between getting ready the little phrases and mind games to put a smile in the face of the listener, then this is the other, almost poetic side of fries, "The night our dictator, and every day is a Rolator" ("Homeless" ) only sounds at first absurd, creeping alienation as "this phantom, call it life, our inner Altmark" ("Inner Altmark") fits described, and also make complaints to the claim bubble lined environment could hardly be more catchy "if no one has been achieved, but the narrative goes "(" Is there really Uruguay still ").
The sound of impressive verbiage, is not really a surprise, of exquisite class, cherished as a MashUp of electro, synthpop, indie and dance always changeable, catchy and definitely fit club. Quieter moments alternate with pounding, driving beat, for "Wings" cheating even one of these sparkling indie guitar to the ensemble that it wants to be a really warm-hearted. And somehow, wish you the guys who find it so difficult but obviously with their home and their pros and cons, in the end insure that they are using this to make their way to music, making many of the living just because something is not relaxed, but perhaps, but surely. http://schandenschmuck.de/

John Mayer and the age of concern

It is very difficult to stop impressing you hear a preview of those of only twenty seconds. Something very magical has to happen to think that "this issue will surely be my favorite album." I remember this happened with 'Anthology' Thrice and so much more recent, with 'Age Of Worry' by John Mayer. This new issue, which is listed as the second in the track list that makes up "Born and Raised" is less than three minutes but walked off as one of the best cuts that Mayer has built in the latter stage of his life.

The concern, that emotional state that appears regularly in this age of crisis in which we are immersed, is the main protagonist of 'Age Of Worry'. Even so, far from being negative, John Mayer would like to turn the tables to show that we have reason to smile and to fight against pessimism. All tacking through a melody that comes out of nowhere from the second 14 and is able to beautify even the saddest of landscapes.

If you are fans of John Mayer and you delay in hearing this. No guitar solos, riffs nor blueseros. But vibrates (as ever!) The heart of our admired singer.

sex bomb

Sounds like something other than it is: René Huber work - should be a name you remember.

The Ingolstadt except the birthplace of Horst Seehofer, the Audi and a second-division grade football club has to offer much more is to elicit at least the music preformed Rockisten you yawn, he knows that come with Slut and Pelzig two bands from the Upper Bavarian city, the have already developed some merit in the German indie scene.

Love London in the last song of Girls

"... Back to London, back to love ..." This is one of the verses of a new item entitled 'Back To London' that Girls recently presented live on the Ratio 3 Gallery in San Francisco (California). Reviewing the video that Ryan McGinley has been uploaded to YouTube have been found that Christopher Owens had not finished the letter knowing the whole of this simple theme. Errors and imperfections everywhere in an unpublished song, if it were a little more elaborate, could pretty much do.

Let us finally remember that Girls will be in concert on May 30 at Primavera Sound 2012. Perhaps 'Back To London' not what is expected of a group like Girls but still we can not take it off the infectiously horny "Father, Son, Holy Ghost", 2011.Christopher, there are already up for some action!. Cut the acoustic and lánzanos to the dance floor.

Together with Antti Uusimaki (THE STARGAZER'S ASSISTANT, MOTHLITE, PANIC DHH) has O'Sullivan then months later, the material is viewed and edited.
