Soulwax, Justice – “Part Of The Weekend Never Dies”, “A Cross The Universe”Īlthough these two albums are made by different bands, I will not review them apart. GaGa herself reminds me of Swedish artist Leila K in her heyday, but is more illustrious than that, having written songs for Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls and New Kids on the Block. Filled with hooks, great choruses, stabs and experimental vibe, this is one of the most well-produced and loveable albums of the year.Įven though some criticise Stefani Joanne Germanotta for doing things that others have done before – hellaou, who hellacares if she does? While her songs are brilliant pop tweaks that induce dance and wylding out, imagine this – her whole album is just like that: ass-shaking, funny, funky with enough melodies to make you think the 80s has been reinvented in a great way. They did – my own assuming this band wouldn’t do better than their debut album! Right now, with “Donkey”, I’m saying they’re even on top of Bonde Do Role! They’ve – in my eyes, of course – here performed a twist similar to that of Arctic Monkeys’ last year, by releasing a more mature follow-up to their debut album. I’ll say! After having shoved Lovefoxxx’s ass from off X’s face I wondered if things could get worse. My man Zak lays down the law accurately, so check out his post for why you should be doing half-assed moves to this shit at 4AM in the moanin’! Too much of his music quickly becomes…too much to my ears, but I think this is the best he’s done so far and just enough to make you go bonkers. Gillis has a penchant for making groovy stuff. His record label is named Illegal Art and his albums consist of small strands of own electronic sounds, segueing many samples of songs by loads of other artists. If sampling were a crime, Gregg Gillis would be doing time.
This is well thought-out and composed music that I strongly recommend. No offense, I’ve got all the time in the world for good house, it’s just that I haven’t heard anything this good in such a long time. The second time, I found myself listening actively to what went on, and wondered why I was reacting this strong to a house album. I let it run in the background while I rode the subway from and to work. When I first heard this album, I didn’t think much of it.
The only real hard time I have with this album is whether or not to say it’s their best yet granted, “ Machine Gun” is not my favourite track, but listening to a song like the 70s-wafting, progressive, harrowing, groovy and album-opening “ Silence“, I’m theirs.īooka Shade – “The Sun And The Neon Light” that their two previous albums weren’t results of fluke. Having scrapped work that would have made up an entire album in order to work from anew because they were afraid of sounding like “a Portishead cover band”, this emerged 11 years in the making, “Third” proved what most already knew, i.e. And if there’s doubt of what he’s capable of, check out the gruelling “ Dog“, nicked from the Ed Banger label’s third compilation, “ Ed Rec Vol. The energy of tracks like “ Momy” and “ Army“. I was floored by SebastiAn’s groovy, mechanical swing it was as if somebody had recorded a young, hungry punk band and the engineer had pushed all the levers to the max, fucking the sound up. When I first heard him, it was through Justice’s Coachella mixtape which was released through the now-defunct. 1 Will’s voice is better than ever, and I’m patiently waiting for new songs. This album, the follow-up (or appendix, if you will) to last year’s “The Stage Names”, deals with many a subject attached to being in a band, lyrically as well as how the world around OR has shaped itself of late members have passed and joined, videos have been made and an entire cover-project – that X and I are part of – has been laid before our feet. Will Sheff is a modern-day renaissance man who thinks that people feel like actors in a big drama, making romantic decisions, chasing dreams that are divorced from reality, based on promises fed through TV, films, magazines, books and music – without anyone to stitch them together. In no special order, here are my fave twelve record releases of the year. Or both! So beware, take heed, and duly note: Albums Otherwise, my Style Police will come to your door, stare you in the face as your pets will be removed forcefully, your grandmother thrown off a train and I will stand before you saying “You didn’t do right!” while sporting 80’s clothing. You honestly thought you’d get away with my not releasing a best-of-the-year post, you unlucky Beast? Hell to the no! Here ’tis, your Bible and rulebook, what gives you milk and cookies when you come cryin’ down the stairs because of monster under ya bed, so go purchase all of the recommended below and should you own anything that I don’t like, burn it.
