Henrik Schwarz



ARTIST / BAND: Henrik Schwarz
SONG (MP3): Imagination Limitation
ALBUM: DJ-Kicks Henrik Schwarz
FILE UNDER: House / Jazz / Techno
LABEL: !K7
INFO: Let's just pause for one second; now, think about all that music that has so enriched your life down the years. All of it, without fault, and regardless of any strict genre definitions, is soul music. If it flicks a switch deep inside you, speaks to you, comforts you and makes you feel good about yourself, then that, my friend, is soul music. German DJ and producer Henrik Schwarz understands this musical truth more than most.

Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood


ARTIST / BAND: Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood
SONG (MP3): Little Walter Rides Again da Hanuman
ALBUM: Out Louder
FILE UNDER: Jazz
LABEL: Indirecto Records
INFO: MEDESKI SCOFIELD MARTIN & WOOD OUT LOUDER It's a match made not above nor below, but rather in some altogether hipper place: John Medeski + Billy Martin + Chris Wood + guitar guru John Scofield. On their new release OUT LOUDER, they make music not of this world, yet rooted in the earth tones of jazz, funk, and blues. Music from the heart, for the mind, and made to shake the earth, not to mention the body.

Christopher Whaley


ARTIST / BAND: Christopher Whaley
ALBUM (MP3): 10 Years Of Monotonik - The Mix
FILE UNDER: IDM
LABEL: monotonik
INFO: '10 Years Of Monotonik - The Mix' is testament to that. It's hard to believe that it was in early 1996 that we first started up our net.label Mono - initially as a .MOD-only label, since this was before the days of MP3s (and, indeed, of very wide use of the Internet.) What a long way we've come since then. The first couple of years, for those who recall it, actually had individual Commodore Amiga-based BBSes distributing our material as 'official distros', before FTP sites such as Aminet kicked in and made spreading material much easier, then Scene.org started helping out and a switch to PCs and MP3s was made (in around 1999!) From then on out, there was a dalliance with sublabels, including the now defunct Mono211 and Monoraveik, before Monotonik was standardized on and we carried on publishing the best Creative Commons-licensed, freely distributable MP3s we could find right to where we are now, halfway through the '00s.

DAVID & THE CITIZENS


ARTIST / BAND: DAVID & THE CITIZENS
SONG (MP3): The End
ALBUM: Until The Sadness Is Gone
FILE UNDER: Indie
LABEL: Friendly Fire
INFO: America has some catching up to do. Considering that the Swedish band David & the Citizens has been showered with awards and accolades across Scandinavia and Europe, it’s a damn shame that none of their music has ever been released in North America until now. David & the Citizens possess an intelligent, lyrical sound, sometimes joyous and sometimes melancholy, but always brilliantly orchestrated and catchy as hell.

Johan


ARTIST / BAND: Johan
SONG (MP3): Oceans
ALBUM: Thx Jhn
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Rock / Pop
LABEL: excelsior recordings
INFO: Dutch pop band Johan released one swell self-titled album in 1997, marrying the jittery indie guitar strum of the Wedding Present to the cool, ironic retro-pop charms of the Cardigans and the manic hooks of the best Buzzcocks singles. Formed in Hoorn, Netherlands, by singer Jacco de Greeuw and drummer Wim Kwakman, the quartet was originally called Visions of Johanna after the Bob Dylan song. When the duo decided that name was a bit pretentious and vague, they shortened it to Johan in honor of the Dutch football star Johan Cruyff. After guitarist Remco Krull and bassist Niels de Wit joined the group, Johan signed with the Amsterdam-based indie Excelsior Recordings and produced their self-titled album in 1996. The New York label Spin Art optioned it for U.S. release the following year, but Krull and de Wit left the group shortly thereafter. Jacco de Greeuw and Wim Kwakman worked off and on for two years on the follow-up album, adding Diets Dijkstra on guitar and vocals, Diederik Nomden on keyboards, guitar and vocals as well as Maarten Kooijman on guitar and vocals. Pergola was released in 2001."

ARTIST / BAND: WE ARE SOLDIERS WE HAVE GUNS
SONG (MP3): SONGS THAT NO ONE WILL HEAR
ALBUM: to meet is murder
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Emo
LABEL: http://www.stereotestkit.com/
INFO: At first we are soldiers we have guns was a result of me, Malin Dahlberg, finding a Stratocaster copy without strings at my ex-boyfriends place and buying a portable recorder to record it with. And of course a lot of blood sweat and tears. Mostly tears though. It still is, but now I use a studio and get lots of help from friends, first and foremost Jocke Rosén. Anyway, listen don't read. Spin on THAT, Frank.

SONG (MP3): I ENVY THE PHOTONS
ALBUM: Space Between
FILE UNDER: Indie / Folk / Acoustic
LABEL: Contraphonic
INFO: Since 1998, The Lesser Birds of Paradise have evolved from charming folk-pop to a more ambitious, textured craft. Over the last few years, their sound has been refined to its most organic elements, and their appeal has developed beyond the Chicago indie-rock scene. Space Between, the trio's third album, is their strongest and most focused work yet.

DAMIEN JURADO


ARTIST / BAND: DAMIEN JURADO
SONG (MP3): WHAT WERE THE CHANCES
ALBUM: And Now That I'm In Your Shadow
FILE UNDER: Folk / Country / Psychedelic
LABEL: secretly canadian
INFO: Damien Jurado's Gathered in Song EP was originally released by Made in Mexico in March of 1999. Minimal copies were pressed, and as a result, this EP has become the most sought-after recording of Jurado's career. Recorded live to a two-track tape machine in a room full of friends, the performance is raw and revealing, stark and intimate. The reviews for this release were outstanding, and most critics favored it over his debut release and even releases that came after.
It is with great pleasure that we announce the re-release this EP which features five additional previously unreleased tracks, including demos that were recorded for Rehearsals for Departure (1999). These previously unreleased songs capture what Jurado considers to be his "most challenging and frustrating time as a musician."
Be the first on your block to get your copy! CDs will be shipped out the second we get them back from manufacturing -- around mid-August.

BRETT DENNEN


ARTIST / BAND: BRETT DENNEN
SONG (MP3): AINT NO REASON
ALBUM: So much more
FILE UNDER: Folk Rock / Pop / Indie
LABEL: Dualtone Records
INFO: Every now and then an artist emerges on the scene as if fully formed. The voice is distinct, immediate in its character. The songs feel like they truly belong to the singer. A level of self-possession animates the performances, delivers them right to your doorstep. Nothing feels forced . . . it just is. Theres an aura of inevitability that surrounds the emergence of such artists. With the release of So Much More, Brett Dennen joins the ranks of those who fit this description. Others? Joni Mitchell. Rufus Wainwright. James Taylor. Patty Griffin. Steve Earle. John Mayer. Its a class of artists defined not by genre or by a level of success but by the character of their entrance. We open the door when they appear, and its as if we were expecting them. No doubt, none of them have wanted to be described in such weighty terms. But its not up to them. Its up to those of us on the receiving end to pass such judgments and to celebrate the occasion. In this case, Im happy to do so. Welcome, Brett Dennen. Were glad you showed up. Come on in. When I first heard Brett, I was caught in traffic with two crying children in the backseat, both of whom were desperate to escape their vehicular imprisonment. I had an advance CD of So Much More, popped it into the player, and was immediately in debt to Brett Dennen.

THE ZUTONS


ARTIST / BAND: THE ZUTONS
SONG (MP3): VALERIE
ALBUM: Tired Of Hanging Around
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Rock / Soul
LABEL: Deltasonic
INFO: 24 year-old, Singer/guitarist, David McCabe is feeling good about feeling bad. The songs for The Zutons second album, Tired Of Hangin Around, have been pouring out of him and loads of them are about giving yourself a bit of a hard time, the bands frontman says cheerfully, cause youve gone out and got drunk or let someone down. But its looking at it from a sarcastic point of view.Its Alright is a case in point. Full of the energetic rocknsoul that helped The Zutons land five Top 40 singles (Pressure Point, You Will You Wont, Remember Me, Dont Ever Think and Confusion) from their 2004 debut Who Killed The Zutons?, its a barrelling song with clattering percussion about being defiant in the face of your hangover. Its the new Dirty Dancehall.

CALIFONE


ARTIST / BAND: CALIFONE
SONG (MP3): SPIDER'S HOUSE
ALBUM: Roots & Crowns
FILE UNDER: Blues / Experimental / Folk
LABEL: Thrill Jockey Records
INFO Roots and Crowns. “Uniting where you come from – your roots -- with what you strive to be or what you reinvent yourself to become -- crowns,” explains Califone’s Tim Rutili. “At the bottom of these songs are the memories and images you sift through in the process.”Califone’s earliest roots lie in the band Red Red Meat, from whence came Califone’s founding members Tim Rutili and Ben Massarella and its longtime producer Brian Deck. The band’s first release was a self-titled EP on Flydaddy in 1998, followed later by the full-length debut, Roomsound, in 2001 (recently re-issued on Thrill Jockey) and eventually the band’s Thrill Jockey debut, Quicksand/Cradlesnakes in 2003. After touring for the release of Roomsound, Califone had little time off to take in the impact of the music they were creating. In three years, they recorded four albums (two instrumental, two song-based including Heron King Blues) and toured heavily in between with Wilco, Modest Mouse, Sea and Cake and others. They performed at All Tomorrow’s Parties curated by Sonic Youth and Rutili contributed to Isaac Brock’s Ugly Casanova project and Michael Krassner’s Boxhead Ensemble with Fred Lonberg-Holm and members of Smog and Dirty Three.read more from the source...

FILE UNDER: Pop / Electro / Rock
LABEL: Absolutely Kosher Records
INFO: +/- (PLUS/MINUS) is the band started by Versus members James Baluyut and Patrick Ramos in 2001. Chris Deaner joined them shortly thereafter. They still plan to conquer the world with their electronic dreamy pop meets teeth crunching rock. They hail from a city in New York state aptly named New York.read more from the source...

CHIN UP CHIN UP


ARTIST / BAND: CHIN UP CHIN UP
SONG (MP3): THIS HARNESS CAN'T RIDE ANYTHING
ALBUM: This Harness Can't Ride Anything
FILE UNDER: Pop / Indie
LABEL: http://www.suicidesqueeze.net/
INFO: Windy city avant-pop combo Chin Up Chin Up have just handed in the stunning master of their second proper full-length – entitled “This Harness Can’t Ride Anything.” Recorded by Sir Brian Deck [Iron And Wine, Red Red Meat, Modest Mouse] at his Engine Studios, the tracks are a joyful mix of shifting dynamics, stuttering riffs, and buoyant arrangements all held together by front man Jeremy Bolen’s scratched up discourse on breasts, beavers, and Minnesota. The resulting record takes its cues from 2004’s We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers, but ups the ante considerably, weaving their hyper-literate song craft in with a new sense of melody and wit.

ABERDEEN CITY


ARTIST / BAND: ABERDEEN CITY
SONG (MP3): GOD IS GOING TO GET SICK OF ME
ALBUM: The Freezing Atlantic
FILE UNDER: Rock / Alternative / Indie
LABEL: Dovecote Records
INFO: Fresh out of the studio with Grammy winning producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Morrissey, Talking Heads) and Nic Hard (Jesse Malin, The Church, The Bravery), Boston quartet Aberdeen City has just re-released their debut record, The Freezing Atlantic. While recurring themes of abandonment, zealotry, and regret might suggest a cold and melancholy affair, The Freezing Atlantic offers surprising warmth and optimism. The politically aware first single God Is Going To Get Sick of Me won a Boston Music Award in 2005 - before it had been commercially released- and The Freezing Atlantic was recently voted Local Album of 2006 by Boston Phoenix readers. The album also won the 2006 Boston Music Award for Local Album of the Year, pairing with the band's win for Local Rock Band of the Year.

The Skygreen Leopards


ARTIST / BAND: The Skygreen Leopards
SONG (MP3): Disciples of California
ALBUM: Disciples of California
FILE UNDER: Psychedelic / Experimental / Folk Rock
LABEL: JAGJAGUWAR
INFO: In 2001 (year of the Snake) the Skygreen Leopards began as a duo consisting of Glenn Donaldson and Donovan Quinn in the hobo-Victoria of San Francisco. We met in the park where wed both brought our acoustic guitars. I said do you know how to play that old spiritual There is an Island in the Sun? and he replied no. But I know Pilgrim from the Hinterlands and thus the SGLs were born. For the next few months we played in the park until a certain ranger busted us for corrupting an underage park mime . So far we've recorded an ep and 6 lps. In 2003 (year of the Ram) the Skyband was started for live performances. There's been several people that have soldiered our various hoedown's during that time. For the last couple of years Jasmyn Wong has played drums & Shayde Sartin has played bass. Jason Quever & Wymond Miles have indulged in our iguana rituals as well. visit www.skygreenleopards.com to see artwork and buy cds. If you are an old friend trying to contact us, we're sorry but we don't want to hear from you (Sally). It's just too hard to relive those days when the sun was shining & the wind was blowing gently through the eucalyptus boughs. But please remember The Skygreen Leopards still love you. We did what we could. Sincerely, Green Peter

THE SHEDS


ARTIST / BAND: THE SHEDS
SONG (MP3): TOO MANY PICTURES
ALBUM: The Sheds Quit Smoking
FILE UNDER: Indie / Folk / Experimental
INFO: In the summer of 2005, Chris Haubner was traveling around the United States, writing and recording songs. Cameron Cochran had just finished his first home recording that documented life at a fictional high school, Middlebrook, when the two met at a music and arts festival in Indiana. After discussing their recent projects and sharing ideas they decided to write and record letters and stories for and about their Dads. Chris took a break from his travels to write at Cameron's woodland hideaway and the duo recorded "Dadcommunication." Not long after, Chris returned to his home state of Kentucky to record "Two", parallel stories about friendships that had been written by the two while hundreds of miles apart.

THE LONG WINTERS


ARTIST / BAND: THE LONG WINTERS
SONG (MP3): PUSHOVER
ALBUM: Putting the days to bed,
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Rock
LABEL: http://www.barsuk.com/
INFO: Putting the days to bed, the third LP from Seattle's The Long Winters, combines the lyrical intimacy and melodic complexity of the ultimatum EP with the guitar pop rave-ups of the bands previous full lengths. The two sides of songwriter John Roderick come together to create the most compelling Long Winters release to date.
John Roderick writes songs that make you feel like you've been talking to someone really interesting in an airport for the last hour and, although you know you'll never see them again, you just told them your whole life story and a part of you will love them forever. Good songs are hard to write, hard to find, and are unrelated to fashion. As Roderick says, "I like chairs that don't creak and songs that don't suck." There's a lot of music being made as an accessory now, but there will always be a need for actual songs. The Long Winters are working on making those, and with putting the days to bed, they most certainly have succeeded.

FORWARD, RUSSIA!


ARTIST / BAND: FORWARD, RUSSIA!
SONG (MP3): NINE (NAPOLEON IIIRD REMIX)
ALBUM: Nine (Remixes)
FILE UNDER: Experimental / Indie
LABEL: http://www.dancetotheradio.com/
INFO: ¡Forward, Russia! got together in early 2004 - Katie is whiskas sister, and Tom and Rob were in The Black Helicopters together - all four came together to try something new. The first gig was in April, followed by the first demo recording - quickly followed by more of the same. people seemed to really like what was done, some said the following:"Leeds' ¡Forward Russia! meld floor-filling disco punk funk party music, epic post-rock and larynx scorching yelps to devestating effect, then designate their tracks a number by the order in which they were recorded" - www.joyzine.co.uk"From the off, the four members of !Forward, Russia! rip against each other; fractured and percussive guitar stabs are cradled by the most pounding rhythm section imaginable. It’s liquid dance in punk masquerade. They are the spiked ball on the end of a giant mace, but sharpened sharper than razors.

THE POSITIONS


ARTIST / BAND: THE POSITIONS
SONG (MP3): BLISS!
ALBUM: Bliss!
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop
LABEL: Lazyline Media
INFO: Very simply and believably, the Positions are a six piece band from Washington DC. We worship at the altar of the pop single.The band was started by Ivan Ramiscal, formerly of DC indiepop band Barcelona, and is fronted by Nicole Stoops, who also handles the vocals in NYC-based band Charming.

THE MARY ONETTES


ARTIST / BAND: THE MARY ONETTES
SONG (MP3): LOST
ALBUM: Lost
FILE UNDER: Indie / Pop / Rock
LABEL: http://www.labrador.se/
INFO: When the Swedish website musiklandet.se reviewed The Mary Onettes debut EP “make me last” in 2005, they wrote: “ the title track “make me last” is a demonstration on how to attach emotions on a record”. They couldn’t be more right. An obsession with making relevant songs mixed with equal parts of despair and hope has since 2001 been the main goal for the Mary Onettes. Signing with Sony/Bmg in 2005 and being dumped the same year after the release of “Make me last EP” didn’t really change anything. Instead of grieving the music industry, its lack of interest and break even mentality, the band, together with long time friend Poplars started building a music studio in the heart of Swedish town Göteborg and has since then been recording what will probably be their debut album.

HOLD STEADY


ARTIST / BAND: HOLD STEADY
SONG (MP3): CHIPS AHOY!
ALBUM: Boys and Girls in America
FILE UNDER: Rock
LABEL: Vagrant Records
INFO: Over two albums, the Hold Steady have staked their claim as America's best bar band, pulling ragged glory from boozy riffage and the oddly gripping splutters of frontman-storyteller Craig Finn. Boys and Girls in America is a bit looser and brighter than last year's Separation Sunday, and it eschews that album's concept-record staging in favor of tales of l-o-v-e in the U.S.A. featuring rock kids, troubled girls and substance abuse, among other Finn standby topics. On songs like "Chips Ahoy!" - a busted romance set at a racetrack - Finn operates like an indie-rock Kerouac, pulling local color, touching details and much more from the dumping ground of his brain. Boys is a sweet thing: fist-pumpable rock with brains, heart and words worth coming back to.

FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES


ARTIST / BAND: FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES

SONG (MP3): TAKING CASSANDRA TO THE END OF THE WORLD PARTY
ALBUM: The Always Open Mouth
FILE UNDER: Experimental / Indie / Alternative
LABEL: Equal Vision Records
INFO: Take whatever you think you know about Fear Before The March Of Flames and toss it in the garbage. Sure, your instinct is to flip through that file cabinet in your mind and pull out a folder that says "Fear Before is that heavy band that sounds like... (insert generic metalcore band here)," but believe this and you'd be terribly wrong. Let all of your preconceptions melt away and brace yourself, because Fear Before The March of Flames' third album The Always Open Mouth is about to cause an earthquake.For those of you who don't know this unassuming group from Denver, CO, get ready for a shocking introduction. The Always Open Mouth is a long, winding journey through darkness, dissolution, and hope.

SPARTA


ARTIST / BAND: SPARTA
SONG (MP3): TAKING BACK CONTROL
ALBUM: Threes
FILE UNDER: Alternative / Rock / Indie
LABEL: http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/
INFO: If you happened to walk by a certain street in a deserted part of El Paso, Texas last fall, you would have heard unusual sounds amid the clanking next to a furniture factory. Leaking out through the cracks, from what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse, were mysterious sounds of despair, growth, renewal, faith lost, and faith gained. Some of it was melodic, and some was dissonant, but all had a certain constant energy. If a passerby were a student of alternative rock, the warehouse songs would have been at once familiar but also distant, like a refrain lost in memory.Inside the warehouse were the four men of Sparta, and those sessions were the genesis of Threes, out from Hollywood Records on October 10, 2006. That this much-anticipated album began in such humble origins is no accident, since Sparta picked the confines exactly because they were anonymous. We wanted to strip away everything and get back to the songs themselves, says singer/guitarist Jim Ward.

PARTYLINE


ARTIST / BAND: PARTYLINE
SONG (MP3): TROPHY WIFEY
ALBUM: Zombie Terrorist
FILE UNDER: Punk / Indie / New Wave
LABEL: Retard Disco
INFO: CIA-sponsored aliens smoking joints, zombie terrorists, evil dictators—sounds like an episode borrowed from an X-Men comic book. Ridiculous? Yes. Realistic? Absolutely! Partyline’s debut full-length album Zombie Terrorist is meant to inspire both political and bum-shaking action. And damn if it doesn’t sound perfect blasting out of a car stereo—windows DOWN, fists UP!Former Bratmobile front woman/varsity league feminist ass-kicker Allison Wolfe and her band of misfit troubadours (guitarist Angela Melkisethian and drummer Crystal Bradley) are the three wisecracking southern women who got together to...ahem...jam one afternoon in 2004 and became Partyline.

CIBELLE


ARTIST / BAND: CIBELLE
SONG (MP3): PHOENIX
ALBUM: The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves
FILE UNDER:
LABEL: 6 Degrees Records
INFO: The London-based, São Paulo raised, singer Cibelle, (pronounced see-BELL-ee), burst on the scene in 2003 with her beautiful, smoky voice on her self-titled debut. Her second album, The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves, is a quiet masterpiece, full of inventive and quirky arrangements. It combines rootsy acoustic instrumentation and electronic processing, noise guitars and children's toys, fascinating textural soundscapes and pure melodies. This record brings to mind such singular talents as Björk and CocoRosie. Like them, Cibelle is a gifted storyteller. She has a keen ear for unusual textures which give each of the album's fourteen tracks the power to surprise. read more from the source...
