AUTUMN OWLS PREMIERE NEW TRACK

Dublin indie rockers Autumn Owls premiered a new song today on AOL Spinner. While demoing tracks for their upcoming LP, a track emerged unlike anything they’d previously written. Knowing that it wouldn’t fit with the other demos, they couldn’t bring themselves to throw it out. So instead they polished the recordings and had ace producer Declan Gaffney do a mix. The song “Acrobatics of a Patchwork Heart” features detuned piano,…

Singer/guitarists Katy and Rosa along with drummer Olly recorded Acrobats in Bristol with producer John Parish, best known for his work with PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse and EELS. The band took a different tack for the new record, most notably by plugging in their instruments—the new album contains only one acoustic guitar. This sonic change came about as the trio revisited the bands they loved as teens turning to The Breeders…

Defending the Realm – The Battle of Britain (DVD)

I believe the most interesting thing about war is how different battles and events are construed by other cultures. While the Battle of Britain was an important battle no matter where one sat in World War II, I feel that it is much more important in the eyes of individuals that were directly impacted. This documentary does well in describing the importance of the battle to American viewers, while keeping…

Orly – Orly (CD)

My Oh My is a track that spreads out over a number of different genres. There are hints of country, Broadway musicals, and the up-front vocals will draw listeners’ attention. The eclectic opening to Orly leads into Boy On A Hill. This track is more introspective and pensive; the pre-grunge created by Neil Young has a referent in the overall tack the song takes. The harmony between the instrumentation and…

Matthias Sturm – Blood and Thunder (CD)

It is rare to hear such a narrative-heavy album. Hints of Donovan, Phil Ochs, and Simon & Garfunkel can all be heard in Blood and Thunder’s first track, Mister D. The instrumentation on the track has a similar gravity to it. Strum takes an interesting tack during this album; rather than having the instrumental arrangements continually red-line a listener’s speakers, there is a careful consideration for how each part fits…

FlyPaper – FlyPaper (CD)

The guitar work is what will immediately bring listeners in to FlyPaper’s self-titled release. The titular track is the perfect introduction to the band, as this guitar is found alongside a rich and emotive set of vocals and utterly on point drum work. Taken together, what listeners will find is something unique, while still touching upon blues and rock. Is It Just Me slows things down, and allows FlyPaper to…

A Town Like Alice (DVD)

A Town Like Alice was originally a book by Nevil Shute (On The Beach).
