Dark Rock from Disappears

July 1, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’m always into the mood to listen to Disappears. I’ve raved about them at various shows, and now it’s time to get ready for their brand new album to come our way. Their fourth album, Era, is set to come out on August 27th via Kranky, and it’s shaping up to be something completely different than before. There’s much more empty space that the band is working with, allowing them to create a different audial vibe than on their previous works. After three records, they’re ready to mix things up, and I have a feeling that the new direction is definitely going to benefit all listening parties.

Love Me Some Benoit Pioulard

January 25, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Benoit Pioulard has had an interesting career, and by that I mean he’s progressed back and forth in different directions throughout, always careful to stand by his carefully crafted ambient sounds. His last few releases have seen him take a more accessible approach, providing listeners with a more pop generated sound. He’s back again with what I’m thinking is going to be a hit; he’ll release Hymnal on March 4th through Kranky. As the releases of 2013 start to get busy, this is one that’s creeping to the top of my list after listening to this track on repeat for the last few hours.
