Feist @ Varsity Theater by Eric Price
Alright there’s no single person that hasn’t listened to Leslie Feist’s latest album “The Reminder” since it’s been very popular on mp3blogs (yet received mixed reviews). I’m generally reluctant to listen to hyped stuff but listening to “The Reminder” has been a good choice. Feist’s sophisticated pop borrows from [...]

When I saw the title “Diwrnod Efo’r Anifeiliad” I thought “hey, here’s a group from Luxembourg speaking their weird Luxembourgian language, a proud heritage from medieval times!” It didn’t take too long to see that they’re from Wales and that language is Welsh. Radio Luxembourg’s “A Day with Animals” has 4 short but irresistably cute [...]

Do you remember those dark periods of your life when you didn’t have last.fm? I sure don’t! A comparatively new and overlooked service by last.fm is the labels pages, where participating labels put their wares online for the global market. It’s of such a huge benefit to small labels I [...]

While I listen to a lot of mood setting ambient & experimental stuff, I’m primarily a song guy. Whenever even a tiny bit of chorus or riff occupies my mind, I can’t stop repeat-listening the song. However it takes around 4-5 listens to memorize every aspect of the song, so the passion dies probably within [...]

Lovely work by Mary Allen Mark of The Art Dept.
Slow start with The Tree People’s self titled folk effort on Tiliqua and then a great song by Helsinki natives Korpi Ensemble which effortlessly fuse jazz and folk into pop sensibilities. We continue with a song with a taster of Feist’s new album The oReminder, followed [...]

I got to spill my guts, NYC’s Marnie Stern is my new obsession with her furious debut “In Advance of the Broken Arm” on Kill Rock Stars. Just as you think every musical aesthetic has been covered, someone comes along and shows you that the human creativity has no bounds. [...]

I’m flat out sure that Field Music will be one of the bands you’ll be hearing a lot in 2007. In fact it’s become quite the sensation till now as I’m definitely not the first to feature them. I’ve been enjoying “Tones of Town“, their second effort on Memphis Industries, thanks to a review on [...]

The Konki Duet, (worlds only three piece duo?) are three talented & geeky indie girls from Tokyo, St. Petersburg and Paris. I have written about them here last year on a myspace roundup. They’ve got their debut album as a trio, called “Moutain Mouton”, out last november on Active Suspension. A little bit fragile and [...]

Different genres and quality, this month’s worthy finds on myspace.

* Oturma Grubu : Minimal electronic pop with postrock influences from Ankara/Turkey.
* 1 Abaco Autor Ricar : Well, even the name of this guy is strange. An interesting hybrid music, 90’s rave meets new age meets Spanish romanticism and guitar solos? You name [...]
