after years of short sharp garage, electro, punk guitar pop records filling the racks, things seem to be going in a different direction. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
well if the last few days are anything to go by.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
friday<\/STRONG> – i open the new mojo – the review for the new album by ‘the morning after girls’<\/STRONG> is riddled with the usual sidekicks to the scene the spawned some glorious records, mainly by swervedriver,<\/STRONG> making me wonder just why do people hate the scene so much, considering the heaven scraping noise that often came out of the effects pedals. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
saturday<\/STRONG> – i happened to catch at the cornbury festival<\/EM> (more on this later), one time major label indie hopefuls, goldrush<\/STRONG> live. now reborn with their own success on self run truck records<\/EM>, and a massive chunk of layered guitar excellence much to my pleasant surprise. the sheer force of their live show was mighty impressive for aband so fey on the one record i have (an issue soon to be corrected thanks to the usual places). oh, and research indicates that the band are to be collaborating with my laptop mate pedro<\/STRONG>. result and a double dose of pleasure one would like to hope. more news as and when i get it re that particular situation.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
more detail : here<\/A><\/FONT><\/DIV>
sunday<\/STRONG> – i dropped the forthcoming anonymous promo album by the somatics<\/STRONG> into the machine. 7 tracks 53 minutes. huh? what no gang of four riffs. nope. instead, it’s major length epic guitars, reach for the sky songs, and so much more. once again, research helps. this band are a long awaited offspring from long forgotten progmeisterz ultrasound<\/STRONG>. all becomes so much more clear. the album is epic beyond its postal code constraints(they are being branded as part of the thriving leeds scene), and will hopefully prove to all that hear it, that songs can last longer than 3 minutes and still be totally magical.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
more detail : here<\/A><\/FONT><\/DIV>
i fully realise that these 3 bands will want to avoid any such associations with the scene that is almost derided (see what i did there) as musc as trip hop, but damn, layers of noise, harmonies, beards and trumpets sometimes really can make the world a better place.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
back in my other world, posted words on the new dj mk<\/STRONG> mixtape on antidote, as well as a chunk of singles that grace the july release schedule, watched the superb dvd that subtle<\/STRONG> have released (wishingbone<\/EM> : cd\/dvd package) with some weird messy remixes on lex records<\/A>. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
listened to the new album by huski<\/STRONG> a lot. which for those that don’t know is maple bees<\/EM> (aka melanie gartside) new electro-pop project : detail here<\/A><\/FONT><\/DIV>
oh, and i became strangley fascinated with the genre busting sound team<\/STRONG> album, whoever they are.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT> <\/DIV>
more tomorrow.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
