发布日期 2009年9月14日 出版发行: Big Brothe
2009 CD EP. Just two days in December 2007 were enough to record over 40 minutes of the sublime Fennesz and Sparklehorse combination. Prepared oddities and masses of inspiration make these recordings unique in their style and in this series in particular. Songs and soundscapes of rare beauty with stunning atmospherics, where abstract sounds and wellcrafted traditional song-structure meet and where acoustic instruments and electronics create outstanding ambience. Seven tracks.

The majority of the material on Social Cues was written during the unravelling of Shultz’s relationship. In order make sense of such a difficult experience, he explored the hidden recesses of his psyche, creating characters to tell different parts of his personal story. He explains, “it can be a vehicle to act out things that are hard to confront.” He went on to say, "when I'm creating, I try to put myself in a reactive state of improvisational thought. I let images just arise in my mind and wait for it to evoke an emotional response and then when it does, I know I'm on to something. I was watching a lot of Fassbinder films, like World on a Wire and The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. I was thinking about their beauty coupled with the graphic surrealism of Aronofsky.”
Deeply inspired by punk music, brothers Matt and Brad Shultz began playing music in high-school with fellow students Jared Champion and Daniel Tichenor. Shortly after forming the band, they made the bold move to London to begin their career. Their self-titled debut album gained them international attention, catapulting them up the Billboard Alternative and Rock charts and achieving Platinum certification. Cage the Elephant has released three additional studio albums - 2011’s Thank You, Happy Birthday, the Gold-certified Melophobia and the GRAMMY®-winning Tell Me I’m Pretty. At radio, Cage The Elephant holds the record for the most #1 Alternative songs of any artist this decade. Their most recent release was their expansive live album, Unpeeled, which found the band performing stripped down and backed by a string quartet and a choir. Based in Nashville, Cage The Elephant is vocalist Matt Shultz, rhythm guitarist Brad Shultz, drummer Jared Champion, bassist Daniel Tichenor, lead guitarist Nick Bockrath and keyboardist Matthan Minster.

Lucy Bland
发布日期 2008年3月18日 出版发行: Planetary
Seattle, WA - Everybody board the ship; Lucy Bland is about to take you through the depths of the great unknown with their newest release, Down To Sea Level.Setting sail out of Seattle, WA, this adventurous four-piece band delivers a seamless integration of indie rock, electronica, and the story-telling folk narrative into a lush cloud that will gently trickle down onto you.
Down To Sea Level paints intricate pictures of Venetian Streets, the open seas,and collecting driftwood through a vocally-driven, artful arrangement of strings, understated guitar chords, and unobtrusive, yet ever prevalent electronic beats. Their uncanny ability to meld these sounds to create a genre defying record puts a new meaning behind the saying, he sea refuses no river?
rashing Waves?brings the open waters to your ears with gently swaying vocals and bold instrumentation. The melodic cello, delicate electronic ornamentation,and inconspicuously drifting chords lends the song an aquatic, nostalgic air.Echoing the sound of Mirah and Blonde Redhead, alor?combines open, naked vocals and funky, disco bass beats into a quintessentially dark and moving opus.The song is epic without overstepping dramatic boundaries.
Drawing from influences as varied as Cat Power and Hot Chip, Lucy Bland will sweep you away if you dip your feet in. If you let Down To Sea Level wash over you with your eyes closed, you might find yourself drifting further into a place
you're never seen before. Don't worry, you'll thank your ears later.
