Kristoffer Ragnstam? in 2008
Oh great, just we need… another Swedish pop artist. Yes, another musically inclined Swede who crafts uniquely enticing hooks with a high level of accessibility has appeared on the horizon, this time in the form of Kristoffer Ragnstam. However, for all of those who have somehow grown tired of quality Swedish indie-pop by now, I […]

Do It Quick And Painless
Lackthereof “Doomed Elephants” - Given that Danny Seim’s drumming in Menomena tends to be rather busy, flashy, and foregrounded, one might reasonably expect that his one-man-band project Lackthereof would be more or the same, or even more drum-tastic. Well, not quite: His drumming style is still immediately recognizable, but the bombast has been dialed down […]

REVIEW: David Vandervelde - Waiting for the Sunrise
In terms of debut albums, David Vandervelde’s The Moonstation House Band was easily one of the most memorable of 2007. Though he was singularly proclaimed by some to be little more than an entertaining imitation of glam-rock heroes in the vein of Marc Bolan and David Bowie, the actual songwriting presented on the album was […]

Our Plans Fell Through
Oxford Collapse “Electric Air” - The dudes in the Oxford Collapse spend most of their time in “Electric Air” singing the words “I can’t remember things” again and again, and the funny thing is, even though the song gets more rocking and they sing other words, I somehow have a hard time remembering that when […]

Where’s The Knife? Where’s The Fire?
Inara George & Van Dyke Parks “Accidental” - Van Dyke Parks’ arrangement is in constant motion — swirling, twirling, dancing off in tangents. Nevertheless, the piece feels strangely static, as if Inara George’s whimsical reverie was confined to a very small space, like a large scale musical theater production in a studio apartment. George comes […]

Throat Singing With Tagaq
As someone who enjoys a wide variety of music, it does not take much for me to become engrossed in any historical studies pertaining to music. The theoretical study of music has been occurring for thousands of years, with people of all different cultures discovering their own unique methods in creating a style that can […]

Please Stay For The Night Anyway
Ill Ease and the Racket “Here Comes Trouble (To The Tune Of Pretty Woman)” - The song just keeps moving forward, driving on in a straight line until it just stops cold at the end. It picks up a bit of speed, but it’s not in any particular hurry. It just moves ahead, with a […]

Faded Paper Figures
Side projects are an aspect of music that has gradually allowed artists to explore different scenarios, both in a stylistic and collaborative vein, without as much habituated pressure for decades. Considering that many successful ones are derived from a previous project that has already seen a considerable degree of success, the amount of hype often […]

Gentleman Jesse and His Men
One of the most appealing aspects of power-pop is the ability it has to remain untainted in a world where stylistic alteration is often inevitable. While some may argue that the genre’s apparent lack of stylistic ambition is the cause for such sturdy pop ideologies, the crafters of such music never seem to be given […]
