SEAN TARO ONO LENNON
Sean Lennon
Return and Friendly Fire
After the demise of Grand Royal Records in 2001, Sean signed with Capitol Records (whose parent company EMI has released the vast majority of his father's musical output, group and solo), yet no solo material surfaced until February 2006, when "Dead Meat" was released as the first single from his new album, Friendly Fire. A promotional trailer for the CD/DVD package of Friendly Fire was leaked online in early 2006. The trailer featured scenes from the film version of the album, a DVD of music videos comprised into a film. The videos were actually screen tests for Coin Locker Babies, another project on which Lennon is working which became a cinematic counterpart to his new album
Although again establishing himself as a solo artist, Lennon has continued his work as a session musician and producer, lending his talent to the likes of Dopo Yume, Albert Hammond, Jr. (of The Strokes) and model/singer Irina Lazareanu[3]. In October, 2007 Sean joined Mark Ronson in the BBC Electric Proms where he sang Sail on, Sailor, as well as We Can Work It Out alongside Daniel Merriweather, and Tawiah. Along with girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl, Sean premiered the side-project "The Ghost Of A Saber Toothed Tiger" during a live performance at Radio City on Valentines Day, 2008. The duo host their music on MySpace and perform under the aliases of Amatla and Zargifon. Expanding on his musical output even further Sean has stepped into the world of film scores with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead [5]. With the release of new material and subsequent touring Sean launched a website featuring music, videos and a forum for his fans. Various members of the forum have even created a fan-made cover album tentitled Truth Mask Replica. In a Youtube video released for his website (January, 2008) Lennon has stated that he is working on a new solo album as well.
About st. vincent
Two years ago, Annie Clark’s recorded debut as St. Vincent, ‘Marry Me’, gave immediate notice that a dizzying new talent had emerged from the flatlands of Texas. Critics from all points of the cultural compass—from Pitchfork to Spin to the New York Times Magazine—were entranced by the album’s precocious arrangements and elegant lyrics, and the steadily growing crowds at St. Vincent’s live shows were astonished by Clark’s gargantuan musical chops and her magnetic stage presence. No small number of St. Vincent fans took the title of ‘Marry Me’ literally, had their hearts duly broken, and wouldn’t have had it any other way. The record was heralded as a remarkably successful entrance and Clark capped a year of international touring by winning the Plug Awards’ Female Artist of the Year.
’Actor’, St. Vincent’s beguiling, sophisticated new record, takes that debut’s ambition as its starting point and never looks back. The arrangements are more masterful, the songwriting grander, the performances ever more confident and inspired. Clark developed an idiosyncratic writing process for ‘Actor’, immersing herself in some of her favorite films—Badlands, Pierrot le Fou, The Wizard of Oz, Stardust Memories, Sleeping Beauty—and beginning each song as a secret film score, then slowly giving it independence as its structure and lyrics came fully into focus. The resulting eleven tracks are as cinematic as pop songs can be, but the movie is a private one, revealing its storyline in hushed, cunning couplets and cascades of scathing guitar.
Here is a record to listen to with your eyes closed. Melodies are transposed and inverted. The fantasy of Disney is juxtaposed with the sweep of Morricone, David Mamet’s unsettling dramatic form and the alienation of Philip Roth. Igor Stravinsky scores Roger Corman’s horror flicks.
‘The Strangers’ starts off as a deceptively dulcet elegy for a lost love, then suddenly capsizes under a flood of distortion. ‘Actor Out Of Work’ is a devastating sonic kiss-off, complete with slyly poisonous lyrics and steamrolling guitars. The strings and woodwinds at the opening of ‘Marrow’ might be escorting Dorothy to the Emerald City, or straight into the flying monkeys’ clutches. The crackerjack band, including supporting turns by McKenzie Smith and Paul Alexander of Midlake, has the crunch of a tank and the grace of a chamber ensemble.
If ‘Marry Me’ served as the world’s introduction to Annie Clark, ‘Actor’ may prove to be her coronation. As the terrifyingly beautiful movie inside Clark’s head flickers across the screen, we can all feel privileged to be in the seats.

"...his debut album 'Trouble Being Yourself' sounds like a nerdier version of N.E.R.D...From his sneaky horns to his hand-claps and Super Mario samples, Yeo recorded, mixed and produced the entire album. It's catchy, cheeky good fun. "
- Nick Christie on thecoolhunter.net
"One part Prince, one part Phoenix, and during the closing song Why World Wars Happen, one part My Disco … that bass line was intense! This funky quartet [we are actually a quintet, but that night one of our band members was in Norway - ed.] had the floorboards shaking for the most part, proving themselves as a very fun, talented live act who established a very carefree, danceable vibe..."
- Scott Mehaffey on FasterLouder.com.au
"...with the vigour of Energizer bunnies, Yeo Choong and his accordingly fresh-faced cohorts funk like Curtis Mayfield fronting Parliament, sending taut drumbeats, fat basslines, clipped guitar chords, sunny trumpet fills and Bernie Worell-channelling synth lines flying everywhere...elsewhere, their forays into ’70s soul prove to be a resounding success, bringing the band’s vocal harmonies out to the front."
- Denis Semchenko in Rave Magazine

She & Him made their debut record as a love letter to the musicians
who inspired it. Volume One (Merge Records) introduces a boy and girl
choir hell-bent on making music the old-fashioned way: by hand - and
with as few machines as humanly possible.
The She & Him
story begins when in 2006 , renowned one man band M. Ward, recorded a
duet with a girl named Zooey Deschanel. A delightful recording session,
the experience lead to a dialogue between the two about collaborating
further. This, in turn, led to Deschanel admitting to secretly making
dozens and dozens of home demos and hoarding them like acorns for the
winter. Sick and tired of being stingy and secretive about music,
Deschanel realized that if songs were acorns then this was indeed her
wintertime: she sent the recordings to Ward and these demos became the
basis for their first record, entitled Volume One.
Ward’s unique
arrangements and virtuostic guitar playing paired with Deschanel’s
affinity for vocal harmony give Volume One its characteristic sound .
Ward and Deschanel share a mutual affection for the songs they grew up
hearing on Los Angeles radio stations - and keep in their hearts the
records that most DJ's aren't playing anymore: Les Paul and Mary Ford,
The Ronettes, Nina Simone, Chet Atkins, Linda Ronstadt, the Carter
Family and about a hundred others. Aiming to achieve the warmth and
charm of pop and country records from the early and mid part of the
twentieth century, Ward, who also produced the record, and Deschanel,
who wrote most of the music, called upon the help of a number of
extraordinary musicians including: Rachel Blumberg, Adam Selzer, Mike
Coykendall, Tom Hagerman, Peter Broderick, Mike Mogis, and Paul
Brainerd. Without whom this record would just be two people with no
drums, bass, strings or pedal steel.

 You kind of have to feel a little bit bad for Foals. When everyone else was out getting girls, each and every member of the band was most likely holed up indoors, listening to Gang Of Four's Entertainment! and doing their philosophy homework. Their tracks are such focused lessons in tight, mathematical indie rock that’s there’s no doubt in my mind that they perennially struck out with the ladies. But we mustn’t feel too bad for Foals, after all it lead them to harness all that angst, awkwardness and romantic dysfunction and stuff it inside the Antidotes LP, which is still dripping out tantalizing singles, the latest of which happens to be the standout Olympic Airways. While the remixes from minimal royalty Supermayer and disco revivalist Ewan Pearson are a big draw, we can’t forget the original Olympic Airways which has got the same scrupulously constructed rattle and hum you'd expect from UK group, from the fret-choking guitar work to the nod-'n-jerk chorus. And that soaring build midway through is like a fringe-swinging cherry on top. It's the band doing what they do best with an air of total effortlessness. And it's not getting old anytime soon. - Dave Ruby Howe |
Erlend Øye is a Norwegian musician from Bergen, best known for being part of the pop duo Kings of Convenience together with Eirik Glambek Bøe. He has released one solo album, Unrest, in 2003 and a mix-CD in the DJ-Kicks series in 2004.
He
was born on November 21, 1975 in Bergen and formed the band Skog
together with some friends in the mid 1990s. He moved to London and
played in the band Peachfuzz in 1997. When he was back home in Bergen
for vacations he jammed with Bøe. They formed Kings of Convenience in
1998 and released their first album, Quiet is the New Loud in 2001.
Øye
had become interested in electronic music and spent the next years in
Berlin or travelling around the world, recording his solo album Unrest
in ten different cities (including Barcelona, Helsinki, Rome, and
Turku) with ten different electronica artists such as Metro Area,
Prefuse 73, and Schneider TM. He has toured as a DJ who sings along
with the records that he plays, and in 2004 he released a remix CD in
the DJ Kicks series. The album featured covers and remixes of "Always
on My Mind", "It's a Fine Day" (made famous by Opus III), Cornelius,
and his own songs. That year also saw the next release by Kings of
Convenience.
Erlend Øye's most recent project is the band The
Whitest Boy Alive. The band originally started as an electronic band,
but slowly developed into a band with no programmed elements. Erlend
sings and plays guitar. The Whitest Boy Alive released the single
"Burning" on May 24, 2006. Their debut album, Dreams, was released on
June 21, 2006, via their record label Bubbles.
He is currently working on the third Kings of Convenience album in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Beck - 'Modern Guilt'
|
Monday, 21 July 2008 |
|
 Joining together two modern musical madmen like Beck and Danger Mouse seems almost dangerous, like it could easily descend into a battle of two outrageous imaginations. Instead, ‘Modern Guilt’ comes off like a sonic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, where the different elements meld together so simply and naturally that it defies the incomprehensible bent of their partnership. Beck and his music have always belonged in the sixties and Danger Mouse’s captures this in a twisted dream state. You only need to taste 'Modern Guilt' once before you’re stuck in its kaleidoscopic rapture. - Matt Shea |
Sweet Sweden: Lykke Li, Lacrosse and El Perro Del Mar

 Economics, technology, ice hockey, tennis, personal grooming: the Swedish list of triumphs is long and extensive. With the new breed of indie pop artists emerging from the kingdom, the rest of the world has yet something else to be jealous about. Here are three brilliant exemplars:  When Lykke Li sings her voice is so delicate, so ethereal that she sounds as though she’s transmitting from a submarine stranded on the seafloor. What’s more, Li brilliantly plays to this amazing strength, matching it to productions so lean and carefully stripped back that they drive you straight to the heart of her bristling songcraft. Lacrosse  West coast-flavoured guitars struck through with bittersweet lyrics and anchored by a skin tight rhythm section, with their debut ‘The New Year Will Be For You And Me’ this sextet have written the soundtrack to the relationship you’ve just ended and are taking a weeklong surf trip to forget. Sweet, cathartic tunes to sooth your irascible soul. El Perro Del Mar |
