Miss Ludella Black & The Masonics - From This Witness Stand (2008)

mp3 320kpbs | 73MB | 38:20 min.

With The Masonics, Ludella Black is back, after the legendary projects, which were The Del-Monas and Thee Headcoatees, and eight years after his first solo album She's Out There", went to Spain to Estúdios Perrotti of Jorge Explosion, to record "From This Witness Stand," this whole union ended up producing a wonderful mixture of "Old School Country Rock" with a primitive "60's Garage-Punk-Rock," and is in diversity and simplicity which is based on this record, as examples "From This Witness Stand" very well played, sung and produced, "Hey Johnny Raw" ability to a level drastically different from other tracks, "Take A Heart" with an incredible beat, "This Is Elvis Dog" pure "60's garage-punk" style, being this coverage, power and simplicity that makes me love this record.

The Ettes - Do You Want Power (2009)

mp3 VBR~256kpbs | 61MB | 34:55 min.

The Ettes' third album, Do You Want Power, marks something of a departure for the band. Produced in Nashville by modern-day garage rock hero Greg Cartwright (most recently of the Reigning Sound), the record is their most focused and diverse set to date and widens their garage rock sound without diluting it. Released in 2008, Look at Life Again Soon was produced by Liam Watson to have a very retro-leaning sound relying on Watson's vintage equipment and Joe Meek-influenced style. Cartwright gives Do You Want Power a modern, in-your-face sound with less reverb and more punch. This serves the flat-out rockers like "I Can't Be True" and "Take It with You" well, giving Coco's guitar extra bite and Poni's drums extra kick. Cartwright also adds some vocals and guitar to the mix, as well as co-writing (with bassist Jem) the best song on the album, the sassy "I'll Be Your Lover (But I Can't Be Your Baby)." To match the clean sound of the album, the band turns in remarkably tight and powerful performances that may sacrifice some noise and bluster but gain back loads of power and toughness in the bargain. It's a change in philosophy that makes for a more mature but no less ferocious record. Another positive difference this time out is Coco's more nuanced vocal approach. When she's angry she spits out the words like they are poison; when she's melancholy there's a quiet power in her voice that she hasn't displayed before. In fact, on the album's ballads the bandmembers show a side they have kept hidden before. They've always had slow, melancholy numbers in their repertoire, but this time out they are less beat group-sounding and instead have a bluesy Laurel Canyon ("While You're Girl's Away") or psychedelic ("Seasons") feel. The song that ends the album, the piano-and-strings ballad "Keep Me in Flowers," could even be a different band if not for Coco's tear-stained vocals. The production shifts and slight changes in philosophy are interesting, but it all comes down to the songs in the end. Tracks like "No Home," the burning hot "Red in Tooth and Claw," and "Blood Red Blood" (to name a few) are first-rate rockers that stand with the best songs cranked out by any modern-day garage punkers, and Do You Want Power is the band's best work to date. -- AMG

Jim White - Drill A Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What You See (2004)

Jim White writes like a Southern gentlemen. When he released his cryptic debut, Wrong-Eyed Jesus, in 1997, he was approaching 40, and with each record his civil invective and genuine yearning for redemption have become more focused, culminating in an eccentric -- yet fully realized -- body of work that requires no aging to prove itself worthy. Drill a Hole in That Substrate and Tell Me What You See preens like an alley cat with a bellyful of chicken scraps. The thick veil of gloss that co-producers Joe Henry and Tucker Martine use to coat each of the 11 hypnotic tracks is entirely transparent, resulting in a glass-bottom boat ride that's both cathartic and uncomfortably voyeuristic. White's characters are always teetering on the edge of a bridge, faces cast skyward, wondering if whatever it is that's left them might swoop down just seconds before the first shoe drops. He meets his subjects on level ground, allowing them to speak through him as well as serve as their master's mouthpiece. On the spooky Tom Waits-style dirge "Borrowed Wings," the ghosts of doomed Bonnie and Clyde-cursed lovers weep "For in the fallow field where what's reaped is what's sown/There lies a road to ruin and it's paved with our tombstones." It's not all hellfire and brimstone, though, as evidenced by the goofy Barenaked Ladies collaboration "Alabama Chrome" and the bright -- almost hopeful -- hidden track, "Land Called Home." There's a deep Southern gothic vibe at work here that brings to mind the Spanish moss meanderings of Daniel Lanois' For the Beauty of Wynona, but it's the shadow of Waits that always gets the last word; "If Jesus Drove a Motor Home" sounds like a cross between something off of The Black Rider and the theme to The Sopranos, but it's interesting that despite all of the celebrity guests (Aimee Mann, Bill Frisell, M. Ward), it's White's self-produced tracks that mirror their creator's sewn up -- but still bleeding a little -- heart. -- AMG

Jesse Malin – On Your Sleeve (2008)

2008 covers album from the former leader of D-Generation. Recorded over seven days and featuring interpretations of classic singer-songwriters Tom Waits and Neil Young, contemporary greats such as The Hold Steady and The Kills, Punk icons The Ramones and The Clash, Lou Reed and even a Sam Cooke standard - Jesse tips his hat to a small collection of writers that inform his unique musical identity and appeal. As a performing songwriter, Jesse appreciated the challenge of covering unique melodies not of his own design. Jesse Malin's musical career began at twelve years old when he fronted New York hardcore band Heart Attack and spanned eight years with D Generation before culminating in three critically-acclaimed solo albums this decade past. The most recent of these came in the form of 2007's Glitter In The Gutter, which saw Jesse accompanied by a raft of talented performers including long-time companion/sometime producer Ryan Adams, Josh Homme and Bruce Springsteen.

2. Me And Julio Down By The School Yard (Paul Simon)

The Watson Twins - Talking To You, Talking To Me (2010)

Following on the critical success of Rabbit Fur Coat, their 2006 collaboration with Jenny Lewis, Southern Manners (2006 self-released EP) and Fire Songs, their 2008 Vanguard Records full-length debut, The Watson Twins return with Talking To You, Talking To Me (February 9th/Vanguard) their most groove-heavy and ambitious album to date. The 12 songs on TTY, TTM, produced by Russell Pollard and J. Soda of Everest, display a new sonic direction previously only hinted at in past efforts. Yes, the folk, country and Americana roots of Leigh and Chandra Watson remain, but the duo also explores and reveals their long-held love of R&B, Bossa Nova, indie pop and most prominently, classic soul. "We wanted your body to move with every song," says Leigh.
Where the gorgeous Fire Songs was slower and more meditative, TTY, TTM showcases the twins' admiration of classic soul vocalists, torch singers and chanteuses such as Etta James and Aretha Franklin. "I think elements of that existed on Fire Songs, but they were buried and just hinted at that," says Chandra. "When you're insecure about something, you don't necessarily have the confidence to invoke those styles."
Those insecurities can be laid to rest with TTY, TTM. The soulfulness of "Midnight" sounds like a heartbroken lover crying the blues at a late night bar. "Harpeth River" updates the vibe of classic Portishead. The Hammond B3 and defiant vocals of "Devil in You" could be a lost b-side to Dusty in Memphis, while "Savin' You" and "Snow Canyons" hearken back to the pair's more traditional Americana-based tracks.
In June 2009, having already written the lyrics for the album separately, the twins, Pollard and Soda decamped to a remote cabin in the High Sierras near Yosemite National Park with no phones, television or music. In four days, armed with only guitars, a drum kit, and computer to record the results, the foursome finished the sketches for TTY, TTM. (The album would later be recorded at Fairfax Recordings on the same mixing console as Pink Floyd's The Wall. It features prominent contributions by members of Everest and My Morning Jacket's Bo Koster.)

Samuel Locke-Ward - Boombox By Bedside CS (Unread, 2008)

http://www.mediafire.com/?i2twwnnztij

sam is one of the songwriters from iowa cities rock outfit - MIRACLES OF GOD - but here he gives forth 15 songs solo, from a period of time, when he was bedridden and in the hospital after a serious injury. this didnt stop him from writting songs nor singing and screaming into a small boombox recorder. a more reflective and thoughtful batch for acoustic guitar / chord organ / kleenex box. obvious comparison to say : early danny johnston - but more due to the recording techniques, the cut and paste, and use of the chord organ. most songs hit the mark as skewed warbly driges, in his own form. with the rest coming out as strained mid-west gut punk.

"ashes" - screamin jay hawkins
"robot boy"
"i still love somebody"
"five a.m. blood"
"unworthy soul"

The Dry Spells - Too Soon For Flowers [2009]

Too Soon for Flowers is the debut album from the San Francisco by way of Bard College group the Dry Spells, a group that features several members of Citay (Tahlia Harbour, April Hayley, and Adria Otte, who all were a part of the Dry Spells before they teamed up with Citay). Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" is the last track on this album, and that pretty much says it all: the Dry Spells sound kind of like Fleetwood Mac (or more accurately, Stevie Nicks) revisited -- they're witchy, woodsy, folksy, and mysterious. They also sound like twangy, melodica-toting gypsies, especially on tracks like "Too Soon for Flowers" and "Evangeline." When they manage to pull off this eclectic, earthy sound well, they sound strange and darn near breathtaking, especially when it comes to the mountaintop-high harmonies on "Sruti." There are a few places, though ("Black Is the Color," the intro to "Sruti"), where the Dry Spells sound cloyingly new agey, almost as if they were Loreena McKennitt redux; Harbour, Hayley, and Otte's wispy-wild vocal harmonies sound fluffily, frothily esoteric when they're paired with too much "mystical" instrumentation. So that's Too Soon for Flowers' first stumble; the second is the band's cover of "Rhiannon." It's serviceable, it's loyal, and all it does is make you want to put down Too Soon for Flowers and pull out Fleetwood Mac's back catalog. It's the kind of thing that makes this album sound a bit slapdash -- and for a disc that was presumably around six or seven years in the making (the Dry Spells formed in 2002), that's not a good sign. -- AMG

Elizabeth Fraser - Moses EP 12" (2009)

mp3 320kpbs | 28MB

It seems like a long, long time since former Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser made her presence felt as a solo artist, but with this new single it seems all that might be about to change. 'Moses' is something of an enigma - could this be a track from the yet-to-materialise solo album due a couple of years back, or is it an entirely fresh start? The track's soundscape is no less mysterious than its origins, setting swirling, archaic sounding choral samples amid dub rhythms and Eastern European accordion melodies while Fraser's voice sails across the mix in unearthly fashion in a language unbeknownst to this correspondent. Thighpaulsandra offer a sympathetic electronic reworking while Spaceland cast a gloomy, more organic production.

Eels - End Times (2010)

mp3 192kpbs | 56MB | Release date: 19.01.2010

The eighth EELS studio album, END TIMES, is the sound of an artist growing older in uncertain times. An artist who has lost his great love while struggling with his faith in an increasingly hostile world teetering on self-destruction. Largely self-recorded on an old four track tape machine by EELS leader Mark Oliver Everett aka E in his Los Angeles basement, it's a "divorce album" with a modern twist: the artist equates his personal loss with the world he lives in losing its integrity.

Dawn Landes is a New York City-based musician who performs under her own name. She is also a sometimes-member of the band Hem, where she has lent her voice to harmony vocals, and plays glockenspiel. She has worked as an audio engineer at Stratosphere Sound in New York City and at Philip Glass' own personal recording studio. She has shared the stage with artists such as Josh Ritter (to whom she is married), Suzanne Vega, Jose Gonzalez, Feist, The Weakerthans, Andrew Bird, Midlake, Alexi Murdoch and many others, -- Wikipedia

Bridging the worlds of indie rock, alt-country, and folk, singer/songwriter Dawn Landes has played with a similarly diverse range of artists, including Fred Eaglesmith, Amy Rigby, John Gorka, and Rainer Maria. -- AMG

Uncut
“Delicately adventurous. Young Girl leans towards a previously untapped rockist side, while a semi-freaky cover of Margo Guryan’s Love posits Landes as a muted banshee. She’s on plainer ground with Money In The Bank and Dance Area, feathery acoustic songs that shuffle and sway beautifully, though it’s the graceful cadence of Wandering Eye that steals the show.”
Q
“Her sweet vocals and country-ish musical tilt recall Cat Power, but with a fresh and affirming, rather than jaded, worldview”
Clash
“Sweet Heart Rodeo is pure quality; there is a sureness and maturity in the songwriting, and a lightness and poise in the delivery, that is utterly beguiling … Effortlessly magnificent.” “Dawn Landes has one of the finest voices in modern Americana …. Gorgeous country flavoured pop.”
Artrocker
“As close to graceful as anything I’ve heard in a long time … A gentle canter of mesmerising, summery-tinged tunes which are gilded with effortless vocals and understated melodies … If you’ve already got Cerys Matthews’ Cockahoop, you’ll love it..”
