The Rakes' New Album

Image
Another inbox love here (I should spend more time on my inbox, perhaps). We didnt have no where to go Waiting for the daylight to begin Singer, save our secular souls How can you have hope with no God? +/- The Rakes are a four piece indie rock band hailing from London. Releasing their debut album Capture/Release in 2005, The Rakes were the talk of the Reading and Leeds Festival after joining forces with Indie elites such as Bloc Party and Maxïmo Park in the NME Tent. The Rakes acquires that "sonsie" sound coupled with humorous lyrics. As well as famous for their fashion sense, this band also is associated with their songs capturing the working life, mundane routines and escapism. W e Danced Together T he World Was a Mess but His Hair Was Perfect The Rakes will release their third album 'KLANG' on March 23. The first single, The Light From Your Mac is a stumper. Tracklist: 1.You're In It 2.That's The Reason 3.The Loneliness Of The Outdoor Smoker 4.Bitchin'

Animal Collective and Remixes/Mash-ups

Image
I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls +/- I am yet to listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion therefore I cannot wager others impressions on Animal Collective. The album had emerge before Christmas 2008 to the world, so unless you're an absolute skeptic and nonconformist listener or just sheds away from popular fads, its really impossible not to be influence by opinions and reviews stating what a "masterpiece" this album is. Hopefully, I can generate my own and catch up with the huss and buzz soon. Below are remixes floating on the blogosphere and on my inbox. There is not really that many to choose from. Perhaps the DJ's are afraid to touch MPP? Anyhow, remixes like these have been known to jumpstart careers of enthusiast DJs. What are they waiting for?

Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and Feist lend their voices for Vashti Bunyan's "Train Song" which is included to Dark Was The Night , a charity compilation produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National with 32 exclusive tracks from some indie royalty. +/- Some of these royalties are Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens, Beirut, The National, Arcade Fire, Iron and Wine, Blonde Redhead and ya-da-ya-da. Each track of the compilation will be release for a day from January 15 through February 1 on the artists and Dark Was the Night’s Myspace . If all songs are as close as being soothing, unpredictable or even decent as this cover, then this compilation is a sure treat for indie lovers. It doesn't hurt either to spare a few bucks for good intentions.

Kutiman

Image
Kutiman draws influences from afro-beat, psychedelic rock, funk and reggae but in different way than most disciples of Fela and Mr.Brown have done before him. +/- An impulsive writer and artist, Kutiman tries not to be intelligent with his pieces. Now you may wonder what this means. He plays according to what he feels in that moment, shedding all inhibitons and letting art blend itself together. The result is a spirited and texturally rich mix of psychedelic soul and Afro-funk, with slippery grooves and snapping beats. His music is not for everybody but if youre in for a genre-swapping listening, Kutiman is a must for your playlist. N o Groove Where I Come From (feat. Elran Dekel) T rumpet Woman (feat.
