Depeche Mode - Wrong
.
Depeche Mode si-au tras single nou. Se cheama Wrong... and it's wrong (i've been waiting way too long... ) Damn, ma asteptam la ceva mai misto din partea lor... Inceputul melodiei parca imi aduce aminte de Personal Jesus si continuarea de foarte intunecata perioada Ultra. E oke... dar parca le lipseste ceva din sclipiciul specific. E o intorsatura spectaculoasa fata de Playing The Angel. Sunt curioasa cum va fi noul album, Sounds of the Universe, ce urmeaza a fi lansat prin aprilie. Si da doamne sa ajung la concert pe 16 mai!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Down Boy
.
Cred ca asta e prima melodie de la YYY care imi place cu adevarat. And what a dark, sexy, glamorous Karen! Down Boy face parte de pe EP-ul lansat in 2007, Is Is, al carui producator a fost Nick Launay "vinovat" pentru Flowers of Romance a celor de la Public Image Ltd. Good choice!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs vor scoate anul acesta un nou album pe 13 aprilie, se va numi It's Blitz! si dupa spusele lor, va suna putin diferit fata de ce au scos pana acum. Primul single Zero va fi lansat pe 6 aprilie, dar poate fi ascultat pana atunci si pe pagina lor de myspace. Nice, dat eu tot raman cu Down Boy... ;))

Hot Indie Albums for 2009
- The Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion : "is a band with a very unique sound. The new album [...] is very psychedelic, but very joyfull and comutal. It's very tribal, a sort of camp fire vibe, much of improvisation, but in the same time very melodic."
- The Pains of Being Pure At Heart - The Pains of Being Pure At Heart: "are a New York indie-pop band, they're very lo-fi... What makes this thing work is the songwriting, but also the exhuberance of the vocal performances. There are equal parts of exhuberance and rejection, it's kind of depressed where it needs to be, but also very up-beat."
- Antony & The Johnsons - The Crying Light: "this guy has a very distinctive voice. When you listen to his music, you've got the sense that is very genuine, very pure."
- Wavves - Wavvves: "it's extremely lo-fi, extremely distorted, but has also a very experimental edge"
- Bon Iver - Blood Band EP: "What amazes me of this guy is that his record is so incredibly powerfull with very little accompaniament. His voice is so close to the microphone, very hushed, has a lot of acoustic guitar. This exposes the songwriting, and in this case it's incredibly good."
