Album Review: Nancy - The Seven Foot Tall Post-Suicidal Feel Good Blues

Image
The Seven Foot Tall Post-Suicidal Feel Good Blues is a brand new mini lp album by British  Band Nancy, It was released on January 15, 2021, Nancy blends together electronic  enthusiasm, hysterical misfits like rupture of rock energy, and they're most sullen to create an eerie experimental glam psychedelic rock sound, and with nancy diverse vocals channeling Stu from king gizzard in some tracks, also the singer has a strong baritone singing voice,  how stellar of an album this is. This, however, is not a critique of the album itself,     I must say I was completely blown away from the first listen, It is different sounding.  The tracks grow on you after the immediately liked clic clac track  ,  No bad tracks on this superb rock album. the opening  self-titled  track has an MGMT TRex glam indie rock vibe,  I like that distortion, subversion of what sounds like a long lost glam classic. I rate this album 10/10....

Album Review: Midnight Sister- Painting The Roses

Image
Painting The Roses is the second full-length studio album by Californian Duo Midnight Star. It was released on January 15, 2021.  Midnight Sister, multi-disciplinary LA artists Juliana Giraffe and Ari Balouzian make motion pictures. Yes, sometimes with moving images but most often only with the music, they create together.   'Painting the Roses' is a story told through the looking glass, one where we examine ourselves in a funhouse mirror but find clarity in its twists. Giraffe traveled to visit family in Argentina during the making of the album and reconnected greatly with that part of her family history, art, and culture.   a  subtly baroque pop mixture of art pop with amazing arrangements, It  has a slow, sweltering surf-tango to it, like Dick Dale doing Carlos Gardel. And even though the song was inspired by Giraffe's reconnection with Argentina,  G lam antics and dark disco dramatics,  it's a beautiful thing to see the artistic descendants of Kate...

Album Review: Viagra Boys- Welfare Jazz

Image
Welfare Jazz is the second full-length studio album by   Swedish Post-Punk Band,  Viagra Boys.  Viagra Boys have made a name for themselves playing stages around the world.  The entire band works together to make the whole greater than the sum. I can't remember when I liked a sax player this much, sounds different than anyone else.  I can't get enough of this album. In fact, I've been trying to tie each tune to an influence.    So far I'm sure about Nick Cave, Mark Sandman, Bill Callahan, Iggy Pop, Jon Spencer; but there a few others I'm trying to pinpoint.   This is the album Iggy Pop wishes he made.  Their  notched  and  bizarre eccentric  approach to the rock genre balances dark  hilarity  and  abrupt unpredicted   sensation  with the kind of  menacing  edge that is sadly  misplaced  from  the majority of music  nowadays . As one of the second album releases of this...

Album Review: Anavitoria - Cor

Image
Cor ( English: "color")   is the fourth full-length studio album by  Brazilian group Anavitoria, it was released  by surprise on January 1, 2021.  I came across the duo,  Anavitoria  a while ago with their self-titled release from 2017.  I' ve always loved Brazilian music (especially good old MPB).  many popular Brazilian musicians just seem to be recreating trends that started in the U.S. This is a travesty, considering that I don't know a culture more reliant on music than in Brazil. Anyway, yeah, Anavitoria just sounded like a combination of some pretty bland trends in folk-pop indie music but in the Portuguese Language. Cor  is a more focused effort than before, the soundscapes are much bolder and more "soft-rock" than ever. Which really works for the duo. Instead of some of the painfully tame pop ballads on some of their other albums, the duo is creating some cinematic folk soft-rock bangers that I can get behind.  st...

Album Review: Paul McCartney- McCartney III

Image
McCartney lll is the 18th solo studio full-length album by English musician Paul McCartney, it was released on December 18, 2020,  Very reminiscent of the 1970 McCartney album. Basically, it’s Paul doing everything, showcasing his ability as a one-man-band. The tracks are good, but Paul can still play guitars, keyboards, and drums better than most anyone.  I’m not gonna mention a word about age, previous bands, or accomplishments. Extraordinary piece of work that covers a long range of topics, feelings, and emotions. Even more impressive is that he recorded and produced every note of this album.  While I would usually single out specific tracks for particular praise, in this case, I would prefer to simply say that I found every single track both powerful and beguiling. However, I will call your attention to the astonishing range of musical styles in this set, from slow, simmering blues to gentle acoustic folk. It is nothing short of miraculous that, over the course o...

Album Review: Luz Futuro - Falsos Techos

Image
Falso Techos is a brand new ep by Spaniard Post-punk New Wave musician Luz Futuro, it was released on December 21, 2020, If you are nostalgic for the Spanish music of the 80s, the young Canary artist Daniel Benavides del Pino a.k.a. Luz Futuro is your man. He is undoubtedly one of the most interesting proposals with which we closed 2020 full of new musical discoveries. Thanks to his father's musical influence when he was nothing more than a "pibe", Luz, manages to create a completely fresh and renewed new version of pop, rock, and new wave that sounded in one of the golden eras of music in Europe. Imagine for a moment what the music of groups like Duncan Dhu or La Unión would look forward to if they continued to produce with a direct look at today's society, for that is Luz Futuro; a nostalgic who bets on a past he did not even live and that leaves us even more doubts about whether reincarnation exists. It got this airy retro wonder jangle guitar and harmonizing vocal...
