Jean-Paul Sartre: more relevant now than ever

Fifty years ago, Jean-Paul Sartre refused the Nobel prize for literature. His reputation has waned, but his intellectual struggle is still pertinent

Ariel Pink - Pom Pom (2014)

kakvo remek delo...

Ariel Pink returns with a new album, entitled pom pom.

Across its 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel, featuring infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. The record sees the Los Angeles native strike it out alone, returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade.

Kevin Morby – Still Life (2014)

Professional road dog Kevin Morby put in plenty of months on tour even before going solo. Morby released his solo debut, Harlem River, in late 2013 while still an actively contributing and constantly touring member of both folksy warblers Woods and indie supergroup the Babies. Shortly before the release of the spiritually wandering Harlem River, Morby migrated from his longtime Brooklyn home to the sunny shores of Los Angeles, and while Harlem River was a picture postcard of Morby’s times in New York, second solo album Still Life investigates his radically different Californian surroundings, and the new inspirations and challenges that came with this move.

Tomorrows Tulips – When (2014)

Beautifully Bummer Pop Jams From Right Near The Beach!!! Dig This!!! Tomorrows Tulips' new album Experimental Jelly starts out like any psychedelic California beach-pop album, with the song "Flowers on the Wall". It is the very definition of the form, from the Zombies-esque texture to the guitar solo that sounds like Brian Eno after getting high. But, through listening to the rest of the album, a concept becomes clear. The first side is all a dream. It begins with the trippy surrealism that all dreams contain to an extent.

Horse Feathers – So It Is with Us (2014)

Late in Horse Feathers‘ fifth album, So It Is with Us, singer-guitarist Justin Ringle unleashes a provocative little five-word phrase — “softly screaming, ‘woe is me'” — that’s summed up a lot of the band’s music over the past decade. Ringle’s songs generally set wearily fatalistic lyrics against a gentle backdrop of strings and banjos and other exquisitely appointed Americana. But the grimness of his words, the “woe is me” of it all, has always been swathed in sweetness, to the point where a song’s suffocating misery can sound like comfort food.

Steve Gunn – Way Out Weather (2014)

Way Out Weather marks the completion of Gunn’s transformation from a master guitarist into a songwriter who can trust in his own voice and arrangements as much as his spectacular fretwork. He’s thrown open the windows and let the light in, as he embraces pristine, lush production that makes guitars sparkle and drums crack. Way Out Weather finds Gunn setting out to explore the world, but not everything he sees is to his liking.

O’Death – Out of Hands We Go (2014)

Three years after the release of their critically acclaimed third studio album and now based in Maine, alt-country band, O’Death, reconvene with a sparser, brooding live sound to contradict the massive production of their previous effort.
Darkly dramatic, Out of Hands We Go offers haunting melodies brought to life by lush arrangements and bandleader Greg Jamie’s ponderous lyricism.It’s a beautiful work of raw emotion, the sound of truth in a well full of lies.

TOPS - Picture You Staring (2014)

David Vandervelde – Shadow Sides (2014)

Starting with 2007’s brilliant The Moonstation House Band, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist David Vandervelde began a slow-burning career, offering the world a look at his bounding and hook-heavy music, melodic but swaggering indie rock styled heavily after the thick riffs of T. Rex and the wanton weirdness of Bowie. A follow-up album came the next year but then things got quieter on the Vandervelde front. Over the next six years, multiple moves, the sudden death of long-time friend and collaborator (and former Wilco member) Jay Bennett, and the dissolution of his marriage all kept Vandervelde busy, not to mention sitting in with other acts and doing production work on other artists’ recordings.

Iceage – Plowing Into the Field of Love (2014)

... Album of the month ...

Plowing into the Field of Love is the third album from Copenhagen’s ICEAGE. It is new, bold and forceful.
Channeling the rage and emotion of their tempestuous early releases into finely honed musicianship, Plowing Into The Field of Love features piano, mandolin, viola and organ atop Johan Suurballe-Wieth’s razor-sharp guitars and the lolloping, synchronized rhythm section of Jacob Tvilling Pless and Dan Kjær Nielsen. The record has a clear, uncompressed sound, and Elias Bender Rønnenfelt’s desperate vocals are out front, nakedly accountable for the words.

Ida (Pawel Pawlikowski, 2013)

Poland, 1962. Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska), an eighteen-year-old novitiate nun is on the verge of taking her vows when she discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the Nazi occupation.A road trip at once tragic, hopeful, and unforgettable.
