ARCADE FIRE's excellence!!!

As much as I love all ARCADE FIRE's album ( the new album "The Suburbs" is incredible as always...get it = BUY IT!!! ), the songs really take all their glorious expansion live! 

The recent live broadcast on YOUTUBE & VEVO was truly a moment in music history = ARCADE FIRE is THE band of our time; very contemporary lyrics floating on uplifting melodies and an undeniable passion in their delivery. They just can do no wrong and they just proved it one more time.
MAGISTRAL MUSIC! 

ARCADE FIRE "We use to wait"

DANCING PIGEONS...I'm turning into one myself!

OOOOOHHHH...Brand new band to look into here!!! First album still in the making. Keep your eyes and ears open this fall.

...And on which dancefloor can you hear music this good?!

B-E-A-T-B-O-X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHH!

INTERPOL is back!

INTERPOL is back with a 4th album this September 7th. The track "Lights" was released on the band's website earlier this summer and it is great. Unfortunately, a few days ago I heard the first official single " Barricade"  taken from the self-titled upcoming release and it kinda sucks. Definetly, nothing compared to any songs taken from their first album "Turn on the bright lights" which is A MUST for every lover of alternative music! True classic, and it stands the test of time.

Saw them live this week, and their set included lots of excellent songs taken from their first albums...so it was great although they really don't move a lot. The excellence of the music made it a great night nonetheless. Paul Banks vocals we're impeccable, technically and emotionnally.

But none of the new songs seemed really good apart from "Lights". No melody stuck with me...

BECK. Time bomb

Well, if you don't know BECK by now, you probably need to go back to your music history class 101! This sexy man not only writes great songs but he also produces other artists very very well. 

I just found out about this explosive track ( released in 2007 ) while I was surfing the net yesterday...WATATOW! Bang, paf, boooom!!!

BECK. Time bomb

I BLAME COCO....Sting and Robyn, I blame them too!

Ok...the first time I heard this song I kind of liked it...but then I thought it was a bit too "pop" for my DJ sets. 
Now, Fuck it!!! It's a great track + extra bonus points too 'cause I was sure it was a boy singing with Robyn before I saw the video! Hot angrogynous thing going on here Coco ( daughter of Sting by the way! ). I like, I like. 
I'm keeping an eye open for her...maybe you should too.

AUTOMELODI. Schema Corporel

Fidèle a lui-même et toujours aussi étrangement poétique ce Xavier Paradis, ex-membre d'Echo Kitty et maintenant a la tête du trio AUTOMELODI. Après de long mois d'attente, le premier album sort finalement ce mois-ci sur l'étiquette New-Yorkais "WIERD RECORDS", ville où l'album a été enregistré. Mettez vos petits souliers pointus et allumez le strob!!!

MONARCHY for some groovy 80s synth!

A fun discovery these days, the London duo MONARCHY. I only heard these two tracks and haven't got a chance to look more into it yet...but worth a little post already. Great sound and visual!

MONARCHY. Love get out of my way

FOALS Beautiful 2nd album!

I have been listening to "Total Life Forever", FOALS 2nd album, in a loop this week. I love the whole flow of the songs. Beautifully haunting build ups, melodies, and sweet heartfelt vocals. 
This track here gives you a great preview of what to expect...
MONTREAL: Live @ Sala Rossa on Tuesday September 28th! :-P

TRENTEMOLLER goes rockabilly!

The only upbeat track on TRENTEMOLLER moody new release "Into the great wide yonder" is an awesome rockabilly roller-coaster ride!!! Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna shake you good! ;-)
The album is an atmospheric film noir soundtrack filled with drunked guitars and melancholic textures. Perfect for any warm & rainy summer night!
