Chastity Belt spelar som sång nr 2 |
Ny vecka med
flera kända poplisteartister som Jason
Isbell och Kevin Morby. Och så
har vi comebackande Ride och Sufjan Stevens med kompisar för att nämna
några.
1. Jason Isbell
(US) Recorded in the city`s
legendary Studio A with a band that includes his wife Amanda Shires on fiddle, the former Drive By Trucker’s latest certainly does have that
Nashville sound: clear and resonant and with an emphasis on note-perfect
simplicity. Yet Isbell’s songs go way beyond standard country fantasy,
typically tapping into the sadness of finding yourself at odds with the world. MOJO
2. Chastity Belt (US) Washington angst-rock band Chastity Belt has a sweet new album out tomorrow called I Used To Spend So Much Time Alone.
The one-two punch of singles
'Different Now' and 'Caught In A Lie' starts the album off strongly with typically
hazy guitars, bulging bass lines, and bonehead snare drumming. Spin Clashmusic
3. Shins (US) James Mercer has been doing his
amiably anxious alt-pop nice-guy thing since the Shins' strummy-sad 2001 debut, Oh,
Inverted World, expanding
his sound without diluting his signature shy intimacy. Rolling Stone Heartworms heter senaste albumet. Shins kommer till
Way Out West I augusti.
4.
Mac Demarco (US) On his third album, the antics of Mac DeMarco are
muted in favor of his impeccable songwriting, which shines through more than
ever with warmth and precision. This
approach brings to mind singer-songwriters of an earlier era, particularly
iconoclasts like Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, and JJ Cale. The title track brings to mind Little Joy in its unhurried and
confident sense of swing, and DeMarco’s natural warmth and weariness shine
through. Pitchfork Demarco kommer också till WOW. Det ska bi
spännande, eftersom hans scenshow är lite oberäknelig och halvgalen.
5. Kevin Morby (US) Morby’s fourth solo album is
an ode to his former hometown of New York City. A loose concept album that
follows a character trying to make his way alone in the city, it marks a clear
progression for the former member of Woods and Babies to emerge as a noteworthy
artist in his own right. COS
6. Dion Lunadon (US) was so used to being on the road with A Place to Bury Strangers that when the band took a bit of a respite from
touring, his creative mind got restless. Struck with “a neurotic impulse to
make a batch of songs and do it right then and right there,” the
bassist wrote and recorded the 11 tracks that would make up his
self-titled solo debut. COS Ett sagolikt ös blir det här. Som tidiga Stooges
och New York Dolls.
7. Sufjan Stevens etc (US) For some, the grandeur of the cosmos has always begged
for a soundtrack. Four years ago, Sufjan Stevens, the National’s Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly, and James McAlister attempted to compose one with Planetarium, a suite of baroque-rock songs inspired by the Milky
Way. They toured Planetarium around the world—string quartet, horn
section, and full rock band in tow. Now, the group has reunited to re-record
these songs for an album out later this year. “Saturn,” the first single, isn’t
so much the epic space music you might expect, but something made for the smaller
scale universe of your local planetarium. Pitchfork
8. Songhoy Blues (Mali) Just over
two years ago, when Songhoy Blues played in a bar in Camden, north London, I suggested
that the
Malian guitar band had “all the makings of African-rock crossover heroes”. And
now here they are, firmly established as the continent’s new young celebrities,
with a second album that aims for the widest possible international market. Their
original influences were desert blues and traditional Songhai styles, but here
these are transformed by tight, attacking riffs, jangling funk guitar work and
the addition of brass and keyboards. Then there are appearances by Iggy Pop The
Guardian
9. Big Thief (US) Big Thief’s sophomore album beautifully excavates family history and
trauma into a delicate, intricately built folk rock record, showcasing the
gorgeous style of singer Adrianne Lenker. The Brooklyn quartet Big Thief did
not name their debut Masterpiece because they felt it was flawless. Rather, Masterpiece painted the complex experience of
being young and uncertain with a rare sense of humility. Pitchfork
10. Ride (UK) ”Weather
diaries” är bandets första skiva på tjugoett år och låter i grunden precis som
Ride alltid har gjort. Men det är som om konturerna har blivit skarpare,
gitarrerna elakare och atmosfärerna mer kosmiska. Att inte bara Erol Alkans
modernare produktion, utan också texterna lyfter blicken från skorna och
placerar låtarna i samtiden gör inte saken sämre. DN
Detta blir den sista ”korta” listan i sommar.
Sedan följer två listor där ni får tre veckor på er att lyssna. Ni lämnar in
era röster senast söndag 2 juli. Här är länken.
1. Jason Isbell 4p Enkel och go text. Isbells typ av Americana är lätt att gilla.
SvaraRadera2. Chastity Belt 4p De här tjejerna är duktiga. Ingen märkvärdig melodi, men de skapar fina stämningar.
3. Shins 4p VDN-märkt power-pop.
4. Mac Demarco 4p Skönt laidback
5. Kevin Morby 5p Mycket Verlainegitarrer a la Marquee Moon. Morby har ändrat stil lite, men det är inte till någon nackdel. Spelar i Göteborg ikväll. Varför har jag inte köpt biljett, kan man undra...
6. Dion Lunadon 6p Underbart att få blåsa ut skallen med detta. Sonic Youth möter New York Dolls med Thunders i högform. Vilket larm!
7. Sufjan Stevens med flera 5p Skönt att veta att Sufjan håller så hög standard. Blir det någon mer platta om stater, tro...
8. Songhoy Blues 4p Bandet från Timbuktu i Mali öser på ordentligt här. Nästan en femma. Enda Sverigespelningen i sommar är i Åmål!
9. Thief 4p Intimt, naket.
10. Ride 5p Det här är ju riktigt bra. Hade ingen riktig koll på bandet när det begav sig, men här blandar de högoktanig powerpop med shoegaze. Nästan en sexa till.

Gillar ju Sufjan Stevens väldigt mycket men ibland är han ute på underligheter. Här låter han som om han lyssnat mycket på Swedish house maffia och vill va med på Summerburst festivalen nästa år. Har problem med talkboxen (eller vad det heter) han sjunger genom genom oxå. Sufjan är ändå bäst på listan. Annars, Ride plankar New order och dom gör det inte dåligt. Chastity belt låter som en snäll variant av Sonic Youth och Dion Lunadon har 57 effektboxar kopplade till gitarren och låter inte som Sonic Youth.

Nja, det finns fler sajter som jämför A Place To Bury Strangers inkl. Lunadon med Sonic Youth. "They perfectly spread a dark and heavy atmosphere which will remind you of bands such as Sonic Youth or Skywave." gothmeout "the hellbent fire scale shuffles Sonic Youth" Meveda "A Place to Bury Strangers are the loudest band around, outside of MBV.Think of a combination of Sonic Youth. the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, and then turn the sound up. They are a band to shake you up, and that will leave you pleading for more." Pennblackmusic
