Bon Iver 豆瓣
8.3 (86 个评分) Bon Iver 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2011年6月21日 出版发行: Jagjaguwar
Four years after Bon Iver emerged from Wisconsin cabin with one of the 2000s’ most celebrated records, the forlorn folkie has announced his second album. Featuring pedal-steel, saxophone and a children’s choir. For new album, Vernon brought in sidemen such as pedal-steel guitarist Greg Leisz, and sax virtuoso Colin Stetson, who has backed Arcade Fire, Beirut and Tom Waits. Bon Iver’s new album will have 10 tracks, each inspired by a different place. Perth, named after the Australian city, is a “Civil War-sounding heavy metal song” with martial drums, choir and “wailing guitars”. Minnesota Wisconsin lays Stetson’s bass saxophone over Vernon’s finger-picked guitar, and the album closer, Beth/Rest, is “definitely the part where you pick up your joint and relight it”.

Junior Boys 类型: 电子

It's All True is the name of the bold new album from Junior Boys, which we're very excited to announce will be released on 14th June around the world (save the UK where it will be released on 20th June). As well as this we can also tell you that there will be a single release preceding the album, the epic 9-minute album track "Banana Ripple" which will come with remixes by The Field and legendary disco mixer Tom Moulton and will be released on 12" and digitally.
As well as recording and producing the record in their usual stomping grounds of Hamilton, Ontario and Berlin, It's All True is informed by Jeremy Greenspan's extended visit to Shanghai, China where he began to write and record the album. For example on a track like the album opener "Itchy Fingers" the exotic middle eight features local musicians Greenspan recorded during his sojourn. As well as informing the sonics of the record, Shanghai had an influence visually as well, the image included with this story being a detail of the album's cover, a deceptively abstract image taken by Jeremy Greenspan's sister of the UK Pavilion in Shanghai.
From the word "go," It's All True has a spring in its step as opening track "Itchy Fingers" features lofty bpms in a range never explored on record by the group before. And just as suddenly, the band shift gears to the sparse, brooding "Playtime". From the confident stomp of "You'll Improve Me" and the sophisticated pop of "A Truly Happy Ending" to the epic album closer of "Banana Ripple," It's All True is by far the Junior Boys most accomplished album to date.

Cape Coast Radio 豆瓣
Cape Coast Radio 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2011年11月7日 出版发行: Zeal
Cape Coast Radio is the cheerful playground of Nick Berkvens (ex-Transit). Nick and the brothers Wouter and Lode Vlaeminck (tomàn) immersed themselves in the alter-ego’s Ed the vulture, Ned the rhinoceros and Ted the mandrill, three friends from the African plains. During their travels on the vibrant savannah they recorded their self-titled debut album soaked in African inspired bright indie-pop.
Live, Cape Coast Radio comprises of a pulsating six-piece all-star band with members of Isbells, Marble Sounds and Sleepingdog and fronted by the young energetic vocalist Tom.
It is as if Vampire Weekend were exposed to the albums of The Notwist, or Yeasayer to those of Pinback, while on a thrilling safari in the heart of the vast savannah.
Already promising finalist of the vi.be select season 2010/2011 on Studio Brussel along with SX and Teddiedrum.
