This is excellent! (and even better in icelandic :) )

Love it when a song feels like its haunting me

I feel like it loses a lot of power when sung in English, but that's just me. Having learned and sung this song many times in Icelandic, it's funny to sing along to it in English. I love it regardless, bravo Mammút!

High Time

Whether you walked to work or to the shop or to your barbers today, chances are you did so kicking through piles of golden leaves. Perhaps you were wearing a scarf too. hese new chilled winds are a welcome change; girls excited to wear mittens, guys forced to wear the jumpers they were gifted the previous festive season.

Welcome to the softer side of Jack Collister. Usually found looking more like Animal from The Muppets and sat behind fellow members of Best Friends, the soothing banjo-infused folk is a wholesome complimentary to confusing dark afternoons and cold evenings. Previously a solo project, Jack has fleshed out his sound with a hand from Ed from Best Friends, Apple from Avida Dollars and Lew from Nai Harvest (also did the ace artwork)

As a generous addition to our track this week, Jack has also offered the entire Five Leaf Nettles EP as a free download to all Postcard Club subscribers. A stripped down Best Friends reinterpretation, a lolsome CKY cover and three beautiful originals - consider it early festive cheer.

Five Leaf Nettles - Autumn

Gold-Bears' second full-length, "Dalliance," is a record about regret. It reminds you of that time you lied to your friend when you said you were too busy to hang out, but instead went to the bar alone. Or when you sent that really shitty email to your brother about something that really has no bearing anymore, because you were too caught up in the moment to think clearly. It also reminds you of the time you got divorced... from whatever or whomever.

In the past two years since Gold-Bears released their debut album "Are You Falling in Love?," main Bear Jeremy Underwood gathered a new crop of friends to carry out his fuzz-filled visions. "Dalliance" is more focused and abrasive than that 2011 debut, combining their noise-pop influences from forebears like Boyracer and The Wedding Present with shades of the post-hardcore, emo and post-punk on which the band all cut their musical teeth. This is not to say that Gold-Bears gave up impossibly catchy song-writing, just that their signature indie punk anthems are now even sharper, the guitars even more slashing, and the songs even more harrowing and heartfelt than ever.

"Dalliance" opens with the anthemic "Yeah, Tonight," a proper pop song featuring a duet between Underwood and Emma Kupa (of the defunct London indiepop band Standard Fare) that sets the agenda right away — sharp melodies and even sharper guitars, all whizzing by in less than three minutes. “Chest” rushes in almost immediately after, barely two and a half minutes of punk energy and fizzing feedback.

The stomping "From Gainesville to Tallahassee" features a gnarly feedback guitar solo and backing vocals from Black Tambourine's Pam Berry. “Punk Song No. 15” is as described, a blazing flash that condenses the history of UK noisy pop into just over one minute. “I Hope They’re Right” and the lovely, jangling “Hey, Sophie” show how much the band have expand their range, slowing the pace, turning up the jangle and taking on the big subjects.

Gold-Bears cover a lot of territory, musical and lyrical, in "Dalliance"’s 32 minutes and by the time that we reach the miniature epic of closer “Fathers And Daughters” we realize that we’re watching a band and a song-writer hit their stride, turning in an album that’s exciting, thoughtful and infectious.

"I think I wrote 'Enough of Our Machines' back in early 2010, so it's been with me for a while. In some ways this is my favorite track on Lanterns, probably because my emotional and analytical sides are both in full effect. Here's a bit about the geekery...

The tangled arpeggios are a combination of string bow attacks (with the notes cut off), synth, and octave-dropped banjo. The feeling is mechanical, but the de-tuned banjo gives everything a broken or unsettled quality; it's rhythmically offset from the others, and separates itself by way of an independent deceleration before each harmonic change. A trio of pizzicato strings occasionally do the same, cascading at various rates of ritardando. Eventually, the piano chords from the opening return atop the arpeggios in a weird, swung hemiola (two-against-three) pattern against the pulse. The unpredictable quality of the piece eventually peaks and crumbles and yields to a simpler instrumentation and a warmer harmonic environment. A repeated melodic gesture, a variant of the string melody heard earlier, tries and tries again at different pitch levels. 'I'm asking you to take… I'm asking you to take…'" - Ryan Lott
