Triumphant return, February 7, 2012 By Luke (Australia) - See all my reviews This review is from: Blues Funeral (Audio CD) Blues Funeral is the first Mark Lanegan solo album since 2004's critically acclaimed Bubblegum. Despite a lengthy break Lanegan's prolific work rate has been in full force, with guest spots and collaborations with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Isobel Campbell, the Gutter Twins, Soulsavers and Bomb the Bass. Blues Funeral is an equally familiar and surprising evolution in Lanegan's remarkable, if still underappreciated solo career. Lanegan is in fine form and his vocals seem to get better with age; a rich, world-weary growl with stunning control and depth. His fruitful artistic endeavours are reflected throughout Blues Funeral, unearthing some of his most adventurous song-writing amidst an impressive cast of contributors. Guests include Jack Irons, Chris Goss, Greg Dulli and multi-instrumentalist and production wizard Alain Johannes who rubber stamps Lanegan's superb arrangements with warm, textured production. | The result of a collaboration between John Stirratt, longtime member of Wilco and formerly Uncle Tupelo and musical compatriot Pat Sansone, the Autumn Defense create a sound which both embraces and resists the moods of autumn, and so defines their name. Between gentle harmonies and instrumental texturization, the associations are tempting: a trace of the Beach Boys, The Byrds, brothers Gibb, Bread, and Zombies piano pop. Wonderful. |

 Aussie pop/alternative band with big new album! | The Sand Band is focused around long time musical soul mates David McDonnell and Scott Marmion who first met whilst pushing pianos around a music shop and quickly formed a musical bond founded on their mutual love of artists such as Calexico, Oasis, Neil Young, Spiritualized, Nick Cave, The Verve, Elliot Smith, Jackson C Frank, Sparklehorse, The Beatles and Big Star among others. |
| After a romantic split sparked a breakup with the world at large, SYGC frontman Elia retreated to his family’s farmhouse in North Wales. Most of .. and the horse you rode in on was written during this time, and the the whole record echoes Britain’s foremost purveyors of pity and poetry. Hints of Morrissey's literate lamentations, Jarvis Cocker's over-sexed swagger, and Orange Juice's broken-hearted exuberance rise and fall over the fourteen songs. |
