In The Words of Gil Scott-Heron - A Tribute by Doctor L

Violens' forthcoming album, "True," finds the Brooklyn three-piece further amplifying their innovative songwriting with a palette of exquisitely crafted sound. The band's music eludes classification, expertly blending percussive guitar work and silky harmonies, seeking the silver lining yet to be discovered between the sounds we know and love. With a wash of 90s sonic pop drawn from artists like Pale Saints, Cocteau Twins and McCarthy, Violens paint soft watercolor notes across their compositions, adding crucial emotional depth via layered vocal harmonies.

The album's first single, "Totally True," demonstrates this with its stone-washed, semi-improvised feel, celebrating bands like The Chameleons and Martin Newell's Cleaners From Venus. The guitars are clean and jangling, meshing perfectly with the driving bassline. The lovely vocals have an almost 60s feel; their debt to such soft-rock touchstones as The Association and Sagittarius is one of the unique elements of Violens' sound that sets them well-apart from many of their contemporaries. The b-side "Something Falling" is a dreamy ballad marked by an effectively spare production, sweeping synths and the band's trademark harmonies. Simply gorgeous.

I guess it’s not officially summer, but 90 degree temps, Texas Ranger baseball and Memorial Day hangovers would all seem to suggest otherwise. We have big summer plans here at M4U, so be sure to stay tuned over the coming months for some major announcements.

I’m determined to change
I mark the corner but I’m turning the page
To the sound of your voice
Like a distant star, my love
 
And I don’t care what they say
I mark the corner but I’m turning the page
To the sound of your voice
Like a distant star, my love
 
Keep moving brother
Keep moving sister
 
I consider my name
The one I’m given and the one I became
And the difference between
Hangs inside the stars my love
 
I played out every cliché
I’ve been a house not a home as they say
And I can’t do it anymore
I won’t do it anymore my love
 
Keep moving brother
Keep moving sister
 
I’m determined to change

Denison Witmer, "Keep Moving Brother, Keep Moving Sister"

You can view the album artwork and track list <a href="http://arts-crafts.ca/releases_spotlight.php?search=AC081&artist=Still%20Life%20Still">here</a>.

ProleteR - Can't Stop Me

HEADPHONE vond voor de opvolger van 'Ghostwriter' hun electronische pop met een randje opnieuw uit. Het resultaat klinkt als indietronica met een jazzstempel. Tot stand gekomen zonder al te veel denkwerk, zonder verwachtingspatroon, rechttoe rechtaan én verdomd natuurlijk. Ruwer, vuiler, donkerder, nooit eerder zo analoog en door gitaren gedreven. Kortweg: kamikaze.

De Gentenaren scoorden in het verleden flinke radiohits met 'Ghostwriter' en 'She's Electric'. Anno 2013 bestaat Headphone naast frontman Ian Mariën uit muzikanten die eerder hun strepen verdienden bij Isbells (Gerd Van Mulders), Zornik (Tom Barbier), Arsenal (Jan Roelkens) en Jef Neve (Toon Van Dionant).

'Riot' ligt vanaf 17 juni in de Nederlandse winkels, 'Raincoat' is de eerste single.

Thunder Tracks is the moniker of 25 year-old Oklahoma native Jake Scott, who names the likes of Devendra Banhart, Neil Young and Vashti Bunyan as inspirations. Recurring themes throughout his bedroom-recorded songs include: “Ghosts, light, a glow, colour, wildlife, and personification...” 

Here is the story behind Graffitti in Jake's own words:

"Graffiti is a song about me haunting my girl, except that it's not creepy and sad but beautiful and weird. It's about how things wouldn't change much if were a ghost. I would still mess with her, go on adventures, and get into a little trouble. In the second half I sing her side of the story. She knows I'm still around, getting into shenanigans, and in the end we let each other know that we are still with each other."

Enjoy...
