Deerhunter

Deerhunter
Halcyon Digest
[4AD,2010]

Halcyon Digest is a record about the joy of music discovery, the thrill of listening for the first time to a potential future favorite, and that sense of boundless possibility when you're still innocent of indie-mainstream politics and your personal canon is far from set. In revisiting that youthful enthusiasm, Deerhunter brilliantly rekindle it, and the result meets Microcastle/Weird Era (Cont.) as the band's most exhilarating work to date. Whether those halcyon days were real or just idealized doesn't matter. With producer Ben Allen, who lent a bass-heavy sheen to Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, these four guys-- lead singer Bradford Cox, singer/guitarist Lockett Pundt, bass player Josh Fauver, and drummer Moses Archuleta-- have created a seamless album of startling emotional clarity.

Our Broken Garden

Our Broken Garden
Golden Sea
[Bella Union,2010]

Hailing from Denmark, Our Broken Garden is the sound of sometime Efterklang keyboardist Anna Bronsted’s bewitching voice. Following the Lost Sailor debut EP, their debut album “When The Blackening Shows” arrived in 2008. Anna’s connection to water began here, with various nautical references in her lyrics, and a deeply atmospheric, drifting ebb and flow to the sound, with a serene, torchy Anna resembling a modern day siren at its heart.

Twin Shadow

Twin Shadow
Forget
Terrible Records/4AD [2010]

George Lewis Jr., the man behind the moody synth-pop of Twin Shadow, has wild hair and a debut full-length album, Forget. Lewis describes the album as “bedroom-recorded music, but it’s been done with the same attention as many classic B-movies.” With production courtesy of Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor, expect an intimate pop record with fuzzy synths. Forget also marks the first album release for Taylor’s label Terrible Records.

Suede Announce Best Of

Suede have announced that their beltingly well-received reunion gigs will be celebrated by a new "best of" album. The Best Of Suede will be released on November 1st. Spreading across two discs, it mixes singles, album tracks and b-sides, and was curated by singer Brett Anderson. We especially like the way they've bunged the magisterial closing tracks to Dog Man Star at the end of disc two. The album will be accompanied by exclusive iTunes interview material.

Toshimaru Nakamura - Egrets

“Toshimaru Nakamura came to his current instrument, the no-input mixing board, after a long and increasingly unharmonious relationship with the guitar. Although he bore (and bears — I had a conversation with him a few years ago in which he shared his love for the look of the instruments he had just seen in a Chicago guitar shop) the instrument affection, he was frustrated by continually trying to get it to do something. By cutting the guitar out of his set-up and concentrating on the feedback generated by plugging his mixing board’s output into its input jacks, he found his way into a less domineering, more collaborative, and most importantly egosyntonic relationship with his sound source. So while it’s tempting to celebrate the increased control he’s established over his instrument over time — certainly his work on Egrets or ErstLive 8, his recent duet with Keith Rowe, sounds more intentional and guided — I’m not sure if it’s true. Maybe it’s more accurate to say that he’s gotten better at helping the instrument to have its say...

Islaja - Keraaminen Pää (Fonal, 2010)

“Islaja (aka Merja Kokkonen) returns for a long-overdue new studio album for Fonal, following up on the groundwork laid down by Ulual Yyy and her Ecstatic Peace release, Blaze Mountain Recordings. Gone are the old lo-fi aesthetics and all those sounds that conjured up images of woodland frolicking and Moomins, and in their place are newfound electronic production/writing techniques and a far higher fidelity sheen. Among the highlights, expect dark, organic synth grooves, horn blasts and lurching beats on opener ‘Joku Toi Radion’, almost Bat For Lashes-like piano-led introspection during ‘Pimeytta Kohti’ and the rhythmically uptempo, unusually poppy lament of ‘Rakkauden Palvelija / 14. Käsky’. We recently had Islaja’s split release with Christina Carter on Root Strata to remind us of just how great her music can be, but Keraaminen Paa seems to inject new energy into her sound, taking a direction that puts more distance than ever between the artist and her esoteric, avant-folk origins…
