The Bourne Identity
Eight years after their debut, the boys are back with this Everything You’ve Come to Expect, 2016. The album is a notoriously The Last Shadow Puppets record. There are the strings, the harmonies, the melodious voice of Turner. But it is also steps into unexplored areas. Another proof of the prodigy Alex Turner.
The Other Side
Jarvis Cocker & Chilly Gonzales Room 29
In room 29, there is a piano that Jarvis Cocker started playing with. And, in the middle of the old atmosphere of Chateau Marmont, the inspiration came. The hotel has housed and influenced countless North American entertainment figures: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jim Morrison, Hunter S. Thompson, among many others. Hence the concept of this Room 29

Laura Marling - The Valley (Official Audio)
Marling reinvented itself, in tone, in lyrics, and even in production, in a collaboration with Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes), which makes this record more dense, complete and adult, as if the 21-year-old girl-woman of the first record had disappeared for good to make way for a more adult, more complete, but also more disturbed, in the letters, of love and friendship,
Black Fly
Reaching For Indigo is a cathartic album that invites us to atone for our ills and face our demons. From a moment that changed his life, Haley Fohr, the voice of Circuit des Yeaux, made us rethink ours, taking us into the depths of his singing in the abysmal cycle of a seizure. The album goes through several phases, from folk to experimental (even, perhaps, to experimental folk - whatever that may be). The disc opens with pomp and circumstance, in a ceremonial environment, with the gravity of the organ and the voice that accompanies it, and follows in an intimate and confessional tone that quickly tells us that this is going to be a troubled trip. But we endured the ups and downs, the harmonies and the dissonances, the melodies and the drones, and we left the other side more whole. Haley Fohr is, even though few know it, the best voices of this still short century, and Reaching For Indigo is one of the best things 2017 has offered us.
Marlon Williams- Come to Me
Make Way For Love's songs all have a similar structure: they are conducted by a guitar or a piano, but none is simple. There are slide guitars, violins, string sets, synthesizers, strong basses and an accordion in “Can I Call You” (we enter without realizing it, in the world of Edith Piaf
Eclipsed Subject
Anticlines é um álbum que inquieta. No seu sexto disco, Lucrecia Dalt afirma-se no caminho que já vinha a percorrer de afastamento da doçura pop que pontuava os seus trabalhos iniciais e mergulha em experiências metálicas, clínicas, que ganham ainda mais dimensão com a spoken word da colombiana
Anna Calvi - Hunter (Official Audio)
Hunter é ao mesmo tempo uma procura e uma afirmação de liberdade — de género, de vida, sexual e socia
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - "Talking Straight"
A herança australiana dos Go-Betweens está lá, uns R.E.M. de começo de carreira estão lá. Os Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever não inventam a roda mas dão-lhe um aspecto
Some Birds
WARM é composto por canções ancoradas em guitarras e voz, bem escritas e bem cantadas, das mais sussurradas e comoventes pela vulnerabilidade às mais entusiásticas e comoventes pela procura de uma comunidade, de um encontro, de amor. As linhas de guitarra acústica e de pedal steel são devastadoras, as percussões de Glenn Kotche (dos Wilco)
Jim James - Throwback (Official Art Track)
On his third solo album, Jim James changes the chip and places his guitar in the center of the stage. It only takes five seconds from the start of the album to realize that the guitar will be the main ingredient
Jonathan Wilson - "Rare Birds" [Official Audio]
Ao terceiro capítulo, Jonathan Wilson acrescenta ao seu rock clássico algumas incursões sobre o soft rock. As melodias bonitas de Rare Birds
EELS - Rusty Pipes (AUDIO) - from THE DECONSTRUCTION
Um punhado de canções maduras, carregadas de experiências, aprendizagens e conselhos para a vida. Depois de quatro anos sem sabermos dele, Mr. E. surpreende com The Deconstruction e suspeita-se que seja dos seus álbuns mais inspirados dos últimos anos. Mr. E.

Richard Swift -The Hex, 2018
Richard Swift is a name that we may not associate directly with the music he makes, but we have certainly heard his Midas touch, as a producer of artists such as Damien Jurado, Kevin Morby, Nathaniel Ratteliff, Jesse Baylin or Foxygen. And we heard it, almost as a session musician, with the Black Keys, The Shins or The Arcs. However, The Hex comes to us in macabre circumstances, which do not allow us to listen to the record with dry eyes. Richard Swift died in July 2018, aged just 41. The album was almost finished and came out three months later. A bit like David Bowie's Blackstar, we can understand The Hex as an artist farewell. Even more macabre, because he is preparing us for mourning, at the same time that he is also doing his own - in the years before recording the new songs, he lost his mother and sister. Of course, this whole context gives the album an intense dramatic aura, which is still felt, even if the story isn’t known.

The Telescopes - The Presence Of Your Grace
A large chunk of the credit should be given to producer Guy Fixsen, who also helmed some great records with Moose and Rollerskate Skinny and was a member of Laika. Sadly, the Telescopes split soon after this album came out, but the classic sound they came up with here lives on in bands like Mojave 3 and the Verve.

Alberto Montero 'Poseidón'
Quem tiver estado atento à música produzida na vizinha Espanha já terá ouvido este nome; para muitos será apenas um desconhecido. Se o mundo fosse justo, isso terminaria já amanhã. A sua discografia tem muitos pontos de interesse, mas com La Catedral Sumergida o espanhol abusou: e construiu uma obra-prima que funde géneros, uma espécie de OVNI que celebra a música folk, um certo tom barroco e uma infindável poesia. La Catedral Sumergida quase não devia resultar em teoria, mas resulta - e com grande estrondo. É um disco ambicioso, misterioso, complexo. É um disco à antiga ou pelo menos para ser ouvido como antigamente: com imensa atenção, com a cabeça vazia e como se não existisse mais nada ao redor de quilómetros. Ah, e com esperança. Com uma certeza: já não se fazem discos assim
Mark Lanegan - Skeleton Key
It seems like yesterday that we heard Somebody's Knocking (it wasn't, but almost) and Mark Lanegan is already announcing a new album. Straight Songs Of Sorrow will be released on May 8th by Heavenly / PIAS, and features Greg Dulli, Warren Ellis, John Paul Jones and Ed Harcourt, among others.
David Axelrod - Holy Thursday
Now Again reissues the three albums that the American David Axelrod released with the Capitol Records label between 1968 and 1970. We speak of the incredible Song Of Innocence (1968), Songs Of Experience (1969) and Earth Rot (1970). All pearls
New Houses - Two Door Cinema Club
Ten years after they had been distributing Four Words to Stand On, only in physical format, to record stores and bars in Belfast and the surrounding area, the North Irish Two Door Cinema Club decided to reissue what was their first EP and deliver it you to the world on all digital platforms
Ali Farka Touré - Goye Kur - Live at Angouleme Festival, 1997

O registo apresenta-se, novamente ao público, com cara lavada, duplo vinil e booklet de 28 páginas para apreciar

Leila - Won't You Be My Baby, Baby
Moving from a supporting keyboard role with Björk and Galliano to put out her own album on Aphex Twin's Rephlex Records, Leila is the rare female electronica songwriter who doesn't sing, choosing instead to use vocals from friends -- and even her own sister -- for her Like Weather long-player. Born in Iran, she spent part of her childhood there but was forced to flee to London with her family.
‘(disappointed cloud) anyway’ is the first song to be taken from ‘U&I’ – Leila’s new album released on 23rd/24th January.
Harsher, shook up and rebooted, the song features the haunting vocals of Berlin based producer Mt. Sims.
This is a slightly shorter edit of the track – the full album version of this song will also be released on limited 12″ vinyl through Warp on 12th December. The single includes two extra unreleased tracks and an instrumental that will not feature on the album ‘U&I’.

Holy Motors Official Trailer #1 (2012) - Denis Lavant, Eva Mendes Movie HD
A glorious ode to all things cinema, Leos Carax’s deliriously unhinged trip down the rabbit hole is one of the decade’s most wholly inventive films. Following a mysterious agent (brilliantly played by Denis Lavant) as he travels from job to job, using his chameleon-like skills to transform himself into everything from an old beggar woman to a sex-crazed hobo, a caring father to an assassin, Holy Motors seems to channel the work of David Lynch, Baz Luhrmann, and Vincente Minnelli, while paying homage to such horror luminaries as Jean Rollin, Georges Franju, and even Showa-era Godzilla films. Surrounded by the decadent decay of a crumbling Paris, Holy Motors is as much an elegy for the cinema as it is a love letter, seemingly embodying everything cinema is, was, and will be. Matthew Lucas

Faxed Head "Don't Turn Out Like Me"
Another odd band that Mr. Bungle's Trey Spruance was involved in. Unfortunately when this band came to Toronto I was too young and otherwise unaware of how awesome they were.
