BoA to hit the US with English Language album

by Chris   ⋅   November 12, 2008   ⋅   Comments [3]

Just got a press release from Universal Music that BoA is releasing an English language album in the United States. First Puffy, then Love Psychedelico (who I was lucky enough to meet!), and now BoA? Maybe this will set a precedent of further exposure for other cool J-Pop/Rock stars (Hint hint, Universal: In addition to [...]

by Kris   ⋅   November 10, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

If you love slick speak, thick layered sounds, quick synthesizer bender-ing (think electronic slide whistle), look no further than Leeds’ Hadouken!’s debut, Music for an Accelerated Culture.

CSS - Donkey — music review

by Kris   ⋅   August 22, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

Don’t you hate it when bands you like — and you like them partially because no one’s ever heard of them — are featured on TV commercials? CSS’ ‘Music is my Hot Hot Sex’ serenaded some spinning iPod Touch, making me quite sad for a quite long twenty seconds, but then, who can stay [...]

M.I.A. - Kala — music review

by Kris   ⋅   July 25, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

M.I.A. You might have seen her in the Marc Jacobs ads. You might have heard her on the Vexille soundtrack or the Pineapple Express trailer. You might have heard her and thought she was Lady Sovereign getting funkified as I did when I first heard ‘20 Dollar’ last year, a mish-mash of [...]

Supreme Beings of Leisure - Divine Operating System — music review

by Kris   ⋅   November 15, 2005   ⋅   Comment [1]

Erotic electronica. Voluptuous vocals. Simple-set rhymes with often Yoda-esque messages of empowerment and rich avid description. Brave beats and originality. Oh, Supreme Beings of Leisure, you had it once but came up short this round.
Obviously honoring the classic greats of jazz and soul with an added twist of crisp post-modernistic precision, [...]

The Wolfgang Press - Everything is Beautiful — music review

by Kris   ⋅   October 18, 2005   ⋅   Comments [2]

“Right place right time, from Soul Boy to Punk in one seamless movement… The arrogance of youth is a wonderful thing and belief is everything. To say the answer to all of my inner turmoil and sense of isolation was found down a dingy cellar on Oxford Street in the form of one group who [...]

Ima Robot - (self-titled) — music review

by Kris   ⋅   October 8, 2005   ⋅   Comments [5]

I didn’t want to like Ima Robot, but just couldn’t help it. I blame it in parts: 1/2 due to its pristine new wave heavy pop-punk revamp with 1/4 devoted to Jello Biafra soundalike (and ex-rapper) Alex Ebert, 1/4 ‘cos it makes vacuuming fun. Worried it would be a one-hit wonder album, [...]

Frou Frou - Details — music review

by Kris   ⋅   October 7, 2005   ⋅   Comment now

Okay, I’m a little behind on this boat, but now I’m addicted. A bunch of years back (2002? 2003?) a friend (in the way friends want to force– I mean share– music) said “hey, you’d really like Frou Frou“. I immediately quipped about ‘Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires’ by the second love of [...]
