Aeroplane Pageant prepares new album “Even The Kids Don’t Believe Me”

On the heels of completing their “Invisible Tour”, New York City’s indie surrealists Aeroplane Pageant prepare the release of their sophomore full-length Even The Kids Don’t Believe Me, out June 9 on Stormy Ice Records. Unable to differentiate fact from fantasy this psychedelic-pop opus finds itself somewhere caught between the cheeky playfulness of Montreal and the solid tunefulness of Grand Archives, marked by stirring guitars and groove-oriented bass lines loosely…

NeuFutur.com Introduces Sierra Hurtt

Some people are born to make music. It’s just something in the blood. Where we hear wind, they hear strings. Where we hear a passing train, they hear rhythm – the beginning of a new song. Conversations yield lyrics and melodies are plucked out of thin air. And as it often goes when someone has the gift, it may seem too easy for them to take it seriously. It is…

Tekel ‘Acid Bonanga’ is the first release on their Tekelmusic label

After several EPs out of the blue and bearing cryptic titles such as “Smet”, “Créteil connexion” or “Sac d’os”, and a longtime supermarket top-shelf reference album, silence prevailed at Tekel studios: VU meters at -, depressed compressors, hypotensive synthesizers… One morning while licking the lid of his daily Fjord yogurt, Biboune (aka J. Briffaz) decided that enough was enough and the return of Mini Moog basses was in order! He…

Cartel – Chroma (CD)

With vocals like “One For The Kids”-era Yellowcard, Will’s vocals match well with the supersonic instrumentation laid down by Nic and Joseph (guitars), Kevin (drums) and Ryan (bass). Tracks mesh well with each other; there is nary even a breathe between “Say Anything” and “Honestly”. While there might not be the sizzling guitar solos and outright technical prowess of the technical emocore bands (those influenced by bands like Converge), the…

The Carlsonics – Self-Titled (CD)

Seeming more like the shoe-gazing indie rock of the early nineties than the Detroit acts of the seventies that many rock and roll magazines have been want to compare them to, The Carlsonics nonetheless rock. Whether it be the utterly chaotic guitar solo of a song like “Ice People” or the look back to the British invasion of punk in “I Dig the Bushwack”, The Carlsonics can make the lo-f…

The Cocktail Revisionists – This Is My Happy Face (CD)

The style of music that The Cocktail Revisionists play is something that is pulled from a different time in alternative music, and songs on “This Is My Happy Face” are those that would have been all over the radio in the early days of the nineties. The style of vocals laid down on this disc by Leslie is something that is in locked-step with other artists like Susanne Vega and…

Captain Bringdown and the Buzz Killers – Feel Good Tunes (CD)

The opening of “Feel Good Tunes” really confuses listeners into first thinking that the band is harder than the rest of the fare would indicate, and then immediately inculcates them into a set of truly “Feel Good Tunes”, beginning with “Psshhh…Like I’m Handcuffed”. The “pick it up” that was heard much much too often back in the late nineties is used to some minor success on this track; the band’s…

AM Architect present NEW MP3/Video!

The Texas duo’s ‘The Road to the Sun’ is OUT NOW on Exponential “Each track bleeds almost immediately into the next, making the album feel like a strong club set where, egged on by an appreciative crowd, Chavez and Stanush can’t wait to dig into the next song the moment the previous one’s done. Don’t be surprised if, listening to it, you don’t feel the same.” Textura “The duo drizzle…

Capture the Flag – Start From Scratch (CD)

I had to stop myself and actually ignore the fact that Capture the Flag was on Go Kart Records. Even with a relatively embarrassing promo sheet that dropped tons of names of bands that had absolutely no ties aurally to CtF (like Bad Religion, Dag Nasty, Descendents), Capture the Flag still makes a very good fusion of post-hardcore and pop-punk. Heavily drawing from some of the better metal from the…

Capricorns – Ruder Forms Survive (CD)

I guess I do not understand the theme behind titling the songs in the way they do on “Ruder Forms Survive”. Each of the seven tracks has a date and then a title; I understand some of the dates’ significances, but am not sure about all of them (1946 instead of 1945)? However, the tracks all have a lot to do with each other, and these ties are made even…

TREVOR ALGUIRE’S THIRTY YEAR RUN CHRONICLES EVERYDAY LIFE

“Thirty Year’s pulp and paper mill /Coughs out a check that barely pays the bills / To never complain”. Straight from the title track of Trevor Alguire’s latest album, Thirty Year Run, which is being released in the U.S. after a late 2008 release in Alguire’s home of Canada, that line signifies a deeper meaning to this stunning collection of stories. “It’s about my Grandpa’s run from the 50’s through…
