Music Review: Norway’s Ida Maria explodes on debut (The MetroWest Daily News)
Ida Maria (full name Ida Maria Borli Sivertsen) may be the best Scandinavian export since Sweden’s the Hives and Denmark’s Junior Senior crashed onto the music scene years ago. From a small town in Norway, the 24-year-old singer has the kind of voice that snarls, shouts but also slinks along on a jazzy purr.

Malcolm Middleton UK Tour
After playing a triumphant set at this year’s Homegame festival, (Clash Music review ), Scottish songsmith Malcolm Middleton is set to tour throughout the Summer and release his album ‘Waxing Gibbous’ on 1st June . Famed for his work in miserable Scots duo Arab Strap , Middleton ‘s career has seen the singer mix dry wit with downbeat balladry to great effect. A good example of this is his festive release ‘We’re Going To Die’, that Middleton has now spoken out against, adding “th

Music Review: The Music of Batman Performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra
From the thrilling opening notes of Danny Elfman’s original Batman theme to the final moments of the now-comedically retro “Batman” TV Theme, the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra’s all-Batman album - simply titled “The Music of Batman” -exquisitely captures the essence of the caped crusader throughout his years of big (and small) screen appearances. Though almost half of the [...]

Music Review: Paul Jones – Starting All Over Again
With a who’s who guest list legendary Paul Jones delivers his first solo album for a long time. It always fascinates me to consider how differently things could have worked out had people chosen another path way, way back in time. Back in 1962 two young men, both called Jones, met whilst at an Alexis Korner gig, and discovered that they shared a love of the blues. Brian invited Paul to join his band, the Rolling Stones. Paul turned it down…

Music Review: Jorma Kaukonen – River of Time (Blogcritics.org)
Write that down. Youre gonna need it someday. River of Time is a slight departure from the usual type of music we’ve come to expect from Jorma. This CD is much more folk-oriented than we’ve seen from him, bringing us 13 cuts of pure, mellow, and dreamy music, at a little over 49 minutes. Add to that the typical frank, honest and straightforward lyrics which identify folk and…

Music Review: The Informers Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
In a world where Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, and American Psycho have been made into feature films of varying success, the pickings are slim for new movies based on the rather limited bibliography of author Bret Easton Ellis. Perhaps that explains the development of a Lunar Park movie and the upcoming release of The [...]

Music Review: The Church – Untitled #23 (Blogcritics.org)
Thirty some years later, the Church hit a home run with what may be their best album ever. Absolutely mesmerizing. I had no idea The Church still had a record like this in them. Untitled #23 is hands down their best since Heyday, and it gives that one a run for the money. I was so floored I began composing this review before the disc even ended. One of the things that makes these songs so good …

Music Review: The Black Crowes – Warpaint Live (Blogcritics.org)

Who knew that Chris Robinson and the Black Crowes could swing like this? I have to admit that I really like the way that the Black Crowes have reinvented themselves by embracing their southern roots since reuniting back in 2005. As evidenced by last year’s excellent comeback record Warpaint, the Robinson brothers have all but shed the big arena-rock trappings of their Shake Your Money Maker …

Music Review: Testament – Live at Eindhoven ’87
Testament live in their youth. In 1987 I was still in my musical infancy, listening to acts like Def Leppard, Poison, and Warrant. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I still like them and others of that era. All I am saying is that I had not made the jump to the heavier stuff yet, although my childhood best friend was into the more extreme acts of the day and I was…

Music Review: Various Artists – Stax: The Soul Of Hip-Hop
Some rare gems from the Stax label catalogue finally see the light of day. The Stax label was formed in 1957 and issued some of the finest rhythm and blues in music history. It was always the alternative to Motown’s smooth, soul sound (with apologies to Marvin Gaye). It was gritty, natural, energetic, and in your face. Artists such as Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, The…

Music Review: – Sleepwalking Through The Mekong (Original Soundtrack)
BC Musichttp://blogcritics.orgWritten by Greg BarbrickPublished April 26, 2009The soundtrack to Dengue Fever’s powerful documentary Sleepwalking Through The Mekong is as much a treasure as the film itself.As you may or may not know, Dengue Fever is a L.A. band whose mission is to resurrect the rich musical heritage of Cambodia. It is a legacy which was nearly wiped off the face of the Earth by the Khmer Rouge. While this is certainly a noble undertaking, there is another aspect to their quest. T

Music Review: J. Wells – Digital Master Vol. 2.1 (Blogcritics.org)
Nice beats can’t cover up a lack of lyrical content. J. Wells certainly knows how to gather the stars to his cause, uniting MCs like Snoop Dogg, Rah Digga, Mack 10, Kurupt, Roscoe, Da Brat, and others on his Digital Master Vol. 2.1 set.Wells, known most for his production credits, definitely knows how to rock a good beat too and this disc essentially finds him showing his stuff. The lyrical …

Music Review: Art Brut – Art Brut Vs. Satan (Blogcritics.org)
Eddie Argos and company wring wry lyrics and tight riffs out of drunken stumbles, public transit, and comic books. Full disclosure: Art Brut Vs. Satan, the third long-player from English/German rock combo Art Brut, features a track entitled “DC Comics & Chocolate Milkshakes.” Your humble reviewer also counts DC Comics and chocolate milkshakes as amongst his very favorite things. This makes it …

Music Review: Crystal Antlers – Tentacles

April 26, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Music Reviews


Crystal Antler’s Tentacles is a remarkably consistent album that bridges soul with the sublime. There’s an unrelenting sense of sincerity and passion upon first listen of Crystal Antlers’s full-length debut, Tentacles.It’s hard to pinpoint exactly. Part of it might have something to do with lead singer and bassist Jonny Bell’s emotive vocals that, from time to time, switch between cries and screams to the world. Part of it…

The Boils – Hockey Anthems (CD)
This is a six-song EP, and this is even a shorter album considering that The Boils never get above two and a half minutes on their tracks. “The Orange and the Black” is the first track on this EP, and it represents The Boils’ love for the Philadelphia Flyers. Did I say this is about hockey? Yeah. Even though hockey sucks, the music that is put out on this EP is solid enough to mcake a believer out of anyone that might be listening in. However, the one thing that individuals might notice is that

To get some sense of the fortitude, stamina and resourcefulness it must have taken to cross the Great Plains in a covered wagon, you only have to listen to Stephanie Blythe sing. The great American mezzo-soprano was in Herbst Theatre on Thursday night, taking…

Music Review: ‘Encounters: A John Aams Snapshot’ by the Post-Classical Ensemble (Washington Post)

Filed under Music Reviews


“Encounters: A John Adams Snapshot,” a concert presented by the Post-Classical Ensemble at the Harman Center’s Lansburgh Theatre on Wednesday night, wasn’t really a snapshot at all. For one thing, it offered two images of the composer, taken at different times: the piano solo “Phrygian Gates,” from…

Music Review: The Decemberists — The Hazards of Love
With their long-awaited concept album, Portland’s indie darlings defy the conventions of modern rock once again. For some bands, a project this arty, this intellectually pretentious, would be the kiss of death. I’m still baffled by how the Decemberists manage to pull it off. A 17-song cycle peopled with rakes and maidens and woodland queens and a shape-shifting fawn – yeah, that’s just what the hip-hop generation has been asking for. But…

Music Review: La Strada – La Strada EP (Blogcritics.org)
La Strada feels more like an orchestra than a band, joining the likes of Arcade Fire as indie pop darlings. Not to be confused with a reunion of the defunct 1980s new wave Serbian band, New York indie band La Strada is similar to the Zachary Francis Condon-led Beirut but with a more rustic folk mentality.I can’t imagine either the stress or the fun involved in collaborating with so many …

Music Review: David Zinman Conducting the National Symphony Orchestra (Washington Post)
There’s nothing like putting the names Webern and Schönberg on a program to scare off an audience. So placing both in the first half of the National Symphony Orchestra’s concert last night, which David Zinman conducted, may have struck terror into some ticket-buyers’ hearts. It certainly wasn’t the…
