Loud and proud, Portland, OR based Lovers is a band of emotional intensity and complexity. Their last album Dark Light begins with singer Carolyn Berk’s confession, “every time the music starts, I can feel my aching, shaking heart,” and from there, Lovers embark on a spiritual journey of inspired three-part harmonies, deep introspection, and next-wave humor. That album received rave reviews and led to sold-out shows for the threesome. Back…
Our last look at Matthew Dear’s creative cycle was the fathoms-deep starkness of his 2010 album, Black City. A triumph of slowly imploding romanticism, Black City was ultimately just another step in Dear’s creative evolution from his breakthrough Asa Breed (2007) and his Detroit-meets-Berlin minimal techno of Leave Luck to Heaven (2003). The vision found in this EP is a likely harbinger for Dear’s full-length, Beams (coming in 2012). “Headcage”…

It is due to these two largest factors that I would have to strongly recommend the website.First off, whether a viewer is looking to download Lady Gaga

Who are you? Is there any significance to your stage name? The name “Kodomo” is the Japanese word for “Child”, my surname. It was a nickname I had as a kid, having grown up in Japan. Around 2000, I started doing remixes for bands and used Kodomo as my moniker. When I finally got around to working on my own album I realized I needed a name. After much contemplating…

Given that David Mead recorded Dudes as a communal effort, it’s not surprising that it’s populated by character portraits, examinations and stories of, well, mostly dudes. There are spunky retirees, a CIA recruit, a befuddled lover, an armed lackwit, and on the title track – an homage to the best guy friends of all – dudes themselves. Mead, known for his wicked wit and “honeyed and compelling vocal” (Entertainment Weekly),…

Silent Star begins with The New Day, a somber and serene track that sails on the waves of Koch’s immaculate piano playing. No vocals are needed to make this track properly soar – there is a narrative that weaves itself through all facets of this track. Softly Awakening continues many of the same trends that were originally created in The New Day, but Koch twists the overall sound to play…
