It's good. Not sure I like this as much as most songs on her last masterpiece "two suns"...but it's still a great song, gentle and sweet in its melancholia.<br /></div>

Their new album is far from being their best; although half of it is great, some of it is way too "nice" for me.
But here is my personal favorite taken from "Synthetica"; an excellent track in all aspects (let's say I'm happy this video displays the lyrics too...).

So far & by far.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Sorry everyone...when I get busy with my own music, my blog is often on hold during that time. I haven't been the best of blogger these past few weeks. <br />But I just want to make sure all of you have listened to BEACH HOUSE full new album, "bloom". It is, by far, the best album of 2012.<br />Now, turn the volume up and/or put your headphones on...and close your eyes; no video can give this incredible music justice. <br /><br /><br /></div>

VINCENT Beautiful dissonance<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Nothing sounds quite like it, which is a rare thing these days. Somewhere between your prettiest dream and your scariest nightmare, ST. VINCENT's 3rd album "Strange Mercy" is the perfect follow-up to "Actor", her excellent release of 2009.<br />
The sound is a little harder, the production always flawless and impressive.<br />
Every track is like a new city to discover in St. Vincent distorted world...<br />

On a loop starting now, my song of the month! Definetly.<br />

Oh and excellent new album of course. One of my favorite bands actually.</div>

Today, I got excited when I found out that Spleen United had released a third album in early 2012...until I heard it!<br />
Many electro-based bands have become too "clubby" and drained of mood and textures as the "hard-electro over-compressed syncopaded" sound took over a few years ago (which really just gives me a headache). Spleen United is a good example of that commercial electro trend; it's no big surprise as their 2nd album was already taking a big step in that direction. Yet, that one was still enjoyable in parts.<br />
Now, what a heard today was...<br />
<br />
Ok, let's remember the good stuff instead! The whole first album of this Danish band is excellent from beginning to end; a classic unique electro-rock sound that stands the test of time; as strong as Gary Numan and Ladytron's best work in my point of view.<br />
Here is "Come on figures" taken from "Godspeed into the mainstream (2006)"...a must in every indie-electro lover's library.<br />

No, this is not just a blog about Florence & The Machine and Lykke Li exclusively...although it might look like it at times. But productive hyper talented ladies do get my attention, what can I say!!! lol<br />
Here is a new song from Miss Li taken from a cool underground electro compilation titled "INGRID, Vol. 1", which is available on itunes. The kind of "various artists" collection that reminds me of my "Overdose" days; my first big DJ night in 2001.<br />
Could electroclash influences be back in music already?...<br />
<br />
Well, it has been 10 years, I guess it could! Wow, time flies.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As much as I prefer my Florence acoustic, intimate and more textured...I always get excited when she releases something new. This big dramatic song is the first single taken out of the "Snow White And The Huntsman" movie soundtrack! Typical Florence; great songwriting and huge sound, even a bit too huge at times. I think less drums and more harp, piano & guitar would have highlighted the impressive vocals and choir arrangements better. That said, great song for this soundtrack. Enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
Oh...while I'm at it! Following this new release you'll find an incredible live rendition of "no light, no light". That's what I mean by naked and acoustic; her voice at its best. Fantastic build up with the choir again and that last note with the strings at the end is just out of this world! <br />

When Gui Boratto delivers a good remix (most of the times), it is sooo incredible in mood and production that I simply forget the original version.<br />
And when you add to that the rough yet sultry and sensitive vocals of mister Mark Lanegan (the best voice really!), you know right away that this will be playing in your ears for the next few months!<br />
Instant Frigid love right here...

Very indie cool Crocodiles are back! A little more polished this time it seems after listening to the new album "infomercial" and first single "Sunday (Psychic Conversation #9)". They've been compared to cult classic bands Jesus & The Mary Chains, Suicide and The Raveonettes!!!<br />
Yes, they are pretty awesome. Definetly, the type of band I'd love to open for!<br />
<br />
Personally, I would have went for a less campy approach then the not-so-funny "infomercial" to promote the upcoming album considering their dark fuzzy underground style. Still, I'm definetly intrigued by the upcoming song titles!<br />
"Endless Flowers" out on June 4th.<br />

Colin Caulfield's haunting vocals slide over his rythmic guitar before taking us down for a dramatic ending in new intricate song "Fate". His Chicago-based one man project is called Young Man.<br />
With already 3 EPs out on Itunes and this brand new exciting single, many are expecting a great first full-lenght for Young Man on May 22nd. The awaited release will be titled VOL.1.<br />
Some similar excellent acts to look into: Beach House, Patrick Wolf, Wild Nothing and Lower Dens.

Thanks to my good friend, I've been listening to Ladyhawke's upcoming album "Anxiety" for a week already. Being a sucker for her self-titled debut, I was anticipating her upcoming release until I heard the first single "Black, white & blue" which came out a few weeks ago. Let's say it is far from being one of my favorite song of hers (that is why it took me sooo long to share it with you here). It's not bad at all but I find it kind of "light". I also think that the video doesn't help the song...so, I'll let you look for it. lol<br />
Now, I am happily surprised with the rest of the album! Wish I could already post much hotter & grittier numbers like "The quick & the dead", "Gone, gone, gone", "Sunday drive", "Cellophane", "Anxiety" and "Vaccine" on here!!! :-P<br />
The record surfs on a happy & fun summer rock vibe. It is the perfect addition to your Joan Jett vs Bowie vs Garbage vs The Kills playlist. That's very good!!! Yeah!<br />
My only critic would be that the overuse of distortion and catchy hooks can make the album a bit saturated when you listen it from beginning to end. But really, nowadays, who cares about that!<br />
Out on May 25th.<br />
<br />
Oh good, you'll see exactly what I mean...just found these two "album teasers" which features some excellent tracks...

Now with that in mind, you will probably enjoy the song "Black, white & blue" much more than I did when I first heard it. ;)<br />

One of the most beautiful voice I've heard in my life is back! Sinead O'Connor just released her critically acclaimed 9th album "How about I be me (and you be you)?" in late February 2012.<br />
Not only the woman can still sing her heart out, she speaks her mind through her songs like rare artists do these days.<br />
Although the album sounds in parts a bit too "adult contemporary" for me to scream "genius!!!", it contains some excellent reminders of why I fell in love with Sinead in the first place; "Reason with me" is stunning in a soft-spoken, sensitive and touching way while her John Grant's cover of "Queen of Danemark" is strong, bold and enraged. "Take off your shoes" features Sinead's full emotionnal range and brilliance while the excellent closing number, "V.I.P.", is a blunt critic of our fame-hungry society and it's superficial values.<br />
Oh...and after listening to the album a few times, I'm really enjoying "Back where you belong" for its modern Patsy Cline quality. Beautiful song and definetly one of my new favorites as well.
<br />
<br />
Now for all of you still unfamiliar with her earlier repertoire, make sure to look into her first 4 albums as well as her collaboration with Massive Attack on their album "100th window". Classics!
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;">Frontman's Jónsi Birgisson falsetto vocal style, atmospheric elements of classical music, an unknown mysterious language; Sigur Ros have been creating "out of this world" ethereal music for over a decade already. Their repertoire shows evidence that dramatic music ain't always loud and heavy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;">The band is describing their upcoming electronic based full-lenght "Valtari" as the sound of "an avalanche in slow motion" (out on May 28th). For now, we get an atmospheric number with a "black & white 1930's" quality to it; pure mind-blowing beauty as always!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;">So many interesting artists releasing a new album in May! Start preparing your budget consequently my friends...</span></div>

Washington-based Mount Eerie will be releasing not one but two albums this year. The first, Clear Moon, presents songs about “a quiet life in and around a small northwest town, usually buried in fog, and the unexpected moments of clarity that briefly flash through.” Full album out on May 22nd on his label P.W. Elverum.<br />
The second will come out later this year and has been already titled "Ocean's Roar". Both recorded in an old church recently turned into his homestudio.<br />
It's all very inspiring!...mostly after listening to the excellent "House shape" in a loop this morning.
