一对德国夫妻组合的首张专辑,官网上竟然提供免费下载,大家抓紧啊......

Pea Sized is Pia and Karsten (Kasi) Kayser from Wiesbaden. In 2008 we finally started making music together and as it feels good I think we will continue with that. Music has always been a main part of our life and we are happy to contribute our personal sound to the sound of the world. All of our songs are born and raised at our home studio in the middle of everyday life. The lyrics mostly reflect on how I see the post-modern world and what it feels like to be the one I am ("Strange"). Now that our first album "In my mind" is done, we now concentrate on our first concert. Chris Lenz, an old friend of us, will support us on stage. So we are all looking forward to leave our narrow world and get in contact with the world outside.

德国44岁的一直靠社会救济维生的希尔特(Michael Hirte)最近喜获“2008超级才华奖”。上周六晚,德国RTL电视台选秀节目进入总决赛,希尔特凭着出色的口琴表演一举夺冠。评审员迪特·伯伦(Dieter Bohlen)也认为这是荣之所归。在长达四个小时的节目当中,伯伦多次为希尔特叫好,甚至打赌说,假如不是希尔特获胜,他将“吞掉自己的夹克衫”。
素以言词尖刻著称的伯伦在评价"超级才华奖"候选人的时候显得温和而又婉转,另两名评审员Sylvie van der Vaart以及Bruce Darnell也不吝美言地赞叹他们是"地球上的天使","天籁之音"令人宛如置身"良辰美景"。

当节目进行了两个半小时之后,希尔特作为最后一名参赛者出场,而他的大获全胜仿佛是命中注定。一曲《Ave Maria》之后,天上飘下了一阵星雨,三名评委不约而同地站起身来,向希尔特表示祝贺。伯伦当即表示:"没人比你更应该赢了。"希尔特从不屈从于命运,值得"每个人都投票给他。"

希尔特是一个"从街头走向舞台的音乐人"。这位前货车司机在一次车祸中受伤,失去了一条腿和一只眼。他的妻子也离他而去。为了接济一下捉襟见肘的生活,希尔特时常去步行街吹奏一段口琴,赚两个零花钱。现在,希尔特赢得了10万欧元的奖金,"梦想成为了现实,令人目眩神迷。"
另据RTL统计,约有610万人收看了这档选秀节目,巅峰时期甚至达到了760万,占到了14至49岁目标受众群的30.4%。

对于Michael Hirte来说,梦想已经实现。不仅仅是那个超级才华奖和10万欧元的奖金,更重要的是,它的第一张个人专辑"Der Mann mit der Mundharmonika"即将发行。专辑中不光有他用口琴演奏的著名经典乐曲,Ave Maria,You Raise Me Up,还有着契合目前圣诞气氛的Stille Nacht。与此同时,他的个人巡回表演的计划也已经形成。

才华洋溢并不足以令人惊奇,真正撼动人心的是他对于生活的那份态度与坚持,面对自己遭遇的不幸,妻子的离他而去,他并没有放弃,而是以坚强和乐观来面对一切,并且用音乐来让自己的生活充满美丽与快乐。

身体上的残缺并不代表什么,重要的是一个健康,健全的心灵。

German 44-year-old has been living on social relief to the Hilt (Michael Hirte) recently won the "super-talent award in 2008." Late last Saturday, the German RTL television programs into the final draft, Hilt harmonica with excellent performance to win in one fell swoop.迪特伯伦reviewers (Dieter Bohlen) also think that this is owned by the wing. As long as four hours in the program, Dr. Hilt applauded several times for even bet that if Hilt not win, he will "swallow up his jacket."

Renowned for their harsh words known in the evaluation of Chamberlain "super-talented Award" candidate when it is moderate and tactful, and the other two reviewers, and Sylvie van der Vaart also Bruce Darnell hesitate to praise the kind words addressed to them as "an angel on earth ""天籁之音"It is like outside," scenery. "

When the program two and a half hours later, Hilt out as the last runner, and he seems destined for a landslide victory. Song "Ave Maria" after a while the sky under the stars floating rain, as if by prior agreement of three judges stood up and extended his congratulations to the Hilt.

Chamberlain immediately said: "No one should be even more than you win." Hilt never succumb to the fate, it is "everyone vote for him."

Hilt is a "from street musicians to the stage." The former truck drivers were injured in a car accident, lost a leg and one eye. His wife also left him. In order to either look hard life, Hilt Street from time to time to walk a section of harmonica playing, the two make pocket money.

Sara Noxx - Intoxxication

Sara Noxx - one of the award winners of 1997 ZILLO band contest - became almost over night a shooting star of the independent music scene.

Her debut album "Noxxious" and her single release "Society" soon guaranteed crowded dancefloors in alternative clubs and they still do today.

Her follow-up album "Paradoxx" (1998) is marked by electronic sounds, melancholic beats and lyrics full of end time romanticism. "Stupid" conquered Belgium's sales charts - her charts entry from zero to place 2 drew international attention on the German electro artist.

In 2001, after a three year break, "Exxtasy" was released. Sara for the first time really was able to present all the variety of her vocal timbre. Her songs, such as "Winter Again" and "Last Desire" became modern classics.

2003 was the time many scene relevant music magazines called the "Noxx Year". Sara once more entered new paths, released her instrumental album "Nonvoxx" which convinced even the last few sceptics when it was sold out within a very short time. In Autumn 2003 the album "Equinoxx" and the single cd "Colder & Colder" were released which claimed the no. 1 position of all European alternative charts for several weeks.

"Lyrixx", Sara's first book with poems of her, was published in Spring 2004 - it is a unique amalgamation of fear and love with poems both vulnerable and impeaching . Critics lavished her with compliments. Sara Noxx - a versatile artist one can expect to surprise again and again in the future.

In 2008 Sara Noxx released a 3CD set "XX-ray" including numerous new interpretations, remixes and duets but also a collection of multi lingual interpretations of her work.

The brand new album from Sara Noxx featuring the single "Superior Love". Intoxxication once more shows that the singer and lyricist Sara Noxx is an exceptional artist, leading her own path. In the intensity of the songs, ranging from ElectroClash to minimal electro influences, the artist creates her own sound, which is unique in the scene.

Driving beats meet floating keyboards, added to by the unmistakable and increasingly darkly erotic voice. The songs "Superior Love", "Deeper", "In Flame" and " Prepossessing" sta out like beacons. Hope, speed, obsession, disappointment and rage are the themes of " Intoxxication".
Accoustically fascinating electronic beats, assaults with sterile, metronomic bass and hypnotic vocals all combine to create a remarkable and exciting new aspect of Sara Noxx. The Intoxxication will come!

Unto Ashes - The Blood Of My Lady

转了两段乐队简介:

Unto Ashes另类中世纪民谣团体一直受到专业人士的热爱,他们的音乐迷离、神秘,充满异域风情,难以想象这样的音乐竟是出自美国乐团之手。乐队运用了大量的民族器乐、洋琴、胡琴、竖琴、阿拉伯及打击乐器,并结合了现代化的音乐结构和编排,营造出一种难以言状的奇妙氛围。他们的音乐不属于任何地方,任何时代,只属于他们创造出的空间中,一种来自虚幻空间的缥缈、奇幻之声。乐队名“Unto Ashes”取自17世纪英国诗人Fulke Greville的一句诗词“To all this glory unto ashes must”,意为世上所有的一切都将腐败、衰亡直至化为灰烬。然而Unto Ashes的音乐初听时并没有像它名字那样颓靡悲凉,相反还会有点轻快的感觉,但当你继续聆听下去的话,你会越陷越深,轻松的感觉会慢慢地被迷茫、忧伤和死寂所代替……

About Unto Ashes
"Unto Ashes, a neo-Medieval dirge band, are primarily focused on the exploration of beauty and terror in the realms of shadow and loss. They utilize acoustic and synthetic instruments to produce a foreboding gloom-scape of trance and drone; many of their songs are hauntingly beautiful, a dark harvest of abandonment and failure. Unto Ashes do in fact perform authentic Medieval music as well, but generally do so in a threatening, almost menacing way..."

unto ashes是Projekt旗下一支乐队,成立于1997年。乐队名“unto ashes”取自17世纪英国诗人Fulke Greville的一句诗词“To all this glory unto ashes must”,意为世上所有的一切都将腐败、衰亡直至化为灰烬。既富哲理,也代表了该乐队的音乐取向:迷离、忧伤和死寂。

乐队有4位成员:Michael Laird:乐队核心成员,负责众多乐器如各种洋琴、吉他、键盘、鼓及其它打击乐器以及部分vocal;Natalia Lincoln:键盘、vocal、词曲编写,客串洋琴及打击乐器;Ericah Hagle: 乐队主音。客串打击乐器及键盘。Ericah Hagle拥有优美、迂回飘渺的嗓音,可以听听她主音的 "Morte O Merce"、"Serve Me"、 "Glass"等歌曲。Jeremy Bastard: 吉他。

这是一个用全身心去创作音乐的团体,正如Michael Laird所说:“我们必须创作音乐,因为它是我们的祝福、是我们的诅咒、是我们的命运!没有音乐,我们每天都会死去!”…….令人无比敬佩!

乐队成员深受中世纪音乐及挪威黑金影响,其音乐题材采用了大多来源于哲理古诗和幻士诗词、融合了大量民族音乐元素并配以现代化的声响结构,使得其音乐既充满迷离、神秘的气氛,又富有异域风情。unto ashes的音乐由于配器清淡、旋律舒缓优美,所以初听会有点轻快的感觉,但当你静下心来细细品位的时候,你再也不可能找到轻松的感觉,只有颓废、迷茫、忧伤和死寂

Sara Lov - Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming

Sara Lov出生于夏威夷,不久父母离异而后便被母亲带到洛杉矶生活,在4岁时又被父亲劫持到以色列,与一个国际逃犯一起生活了十年之后总算被她的叔叔带回了美国.....

Sara Lov seems to have emerged from the Hotel Café generation. Her light and fuzzy singer/songwriter songs are similar enough to Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareillis, and Lenka that it’s like they all decided at a slumber party in the late 80’s that they would be grow up to be famous singers and be best friends forever and Sara Lov is just the dark horse of the ranks (and I have no idea if they’re all BFFs or not). Lov hails from Los Angeles by way of Israel and Hawaii, and is a former member of the Devics, a dream pop band with a number of albums to their name. Here Lov ventures only a little ways from her dream pop roots and presents a lovely piano-based EP and full-length that is worth repeated visits.

Lov’s The Young Eyes EP opens with “New York”, a typical forlorn love song – we all have that friend from college we visit in New York and reminisce with about “the long ago.” Lov’s songs are relatable and though mellow in sound are not entirely made of despair and longing, though she does touch on those subjects. She breaks up the mellow with “Timebomb”, a perky but less discothèque Beck cover. While an excellent take, her Arcade Fire cover of “My Body is A Cage” is fabulous enough to overtake the rest of the EP. It has the same amount of emotion as the original without the need for much added instrumentation. Absolutely gorgeous.

Her follow-up full-length Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming (to be released in March) turns it up just a notch. It contains a more produced sound, but in essence retains the same spirit as her EP. The album starts out with “Just Beneath the Chords”, a very 1970’s-sounding ballad. “A Thousand Bees” has the feel of a lost George Harrison song with its arrangement and sage message. “Old Friends” is an obscure Simon & Garfunkel cover that is done so well and thoroughly claimed by Sara Lov it seamlessly flows with the rest of her original work. The title track is more updated and modern in sound, much more akin to the ladies of the Hotel Café, but doesn’t detract from the work as a whole. By the end track, “Fountain”, made familiar by it’s inclusion on an episode of “Bones”, one feels satisfied and enlightened.

This is a woman whose voice isn’t as affected as so many current female singers. She knows music and knows how to convey it properly. She has an almost child-like voice, but more commanding with her adult years. It’s not the over-powering wail so favored today, but a croon, a siren in the mythical sense. The frequent cello mixed with her voice give the EP especially a haunting feel, but not enough to make it dark cabaret or goth. Lov’s records are a lovely example of modern folk rock, with soothing instrumentals and vocals that portrays a certain mix of emotions, a certain maturity.

Overall there’s a retro feel to Sara Lov’s music. Her gentle use of slow chord progressions, light drums, and echoed riffs bring to mind early solo Beatles and the era of classic pop singer/songwriters. She doesn’t produce a full-on copy of the sound, but rather a revival and reference out of love for it. Her music reflects her voice – she is a girl who is emerging as a woman, and is coming to realize the differences of perspectives she thought of life from before. Lov has crafted a wonderful album of inspirational and relaxing songs that don’t jar or cajole but ease and comfort.

Malika Ayane - Malika Ayane

Malika Ayane (Milan, 24 January 1984) is an Italian pop singer with Moroccan ancestry. Her musical training began at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Milan, where from 1995 to 2001 she studied cello. While attending she sang in the Coro di Voci Bianche (Chorus of White Voices). In this youth ensemble of the famous La Scala Theatre, Malika was often called upon to perform soloist selections for the group.

2009 edition of the debut album by this young and talented Italian singer including three bonus tracks: the Sanremo single 'Come Foglie' (written for her by Negramaro), 'Time Thief' and her cover of 'Over The Rainbow'. The album features guest performances by Pacifico and Paolo Conte. 15 tracks. WEA.

Malika Ayane è nata a Milano nel 1984 da padre marocchino e madre italiana. La sua formazione musicale ha inizio al Conservatorio "Giuseppe Verdi" di Milano dove dal 1995 al 2001 studia Violoncello. Parallelamente, fa parte dell’ensemble del Coro di Voci Bianche del Teatro Alla Scala in cui, oltre al ruolo di corista, esegue spesso parti solistiche. Nel 2007 Malika incontra Caterina Caselli che da subito vede in lei una personalità artistica con un stile originale, fresco e "speziato". E’ Paolo Conte ad usare questa espressione per definire la voce di Malika: "Il colore di questa voce è un arancione scuro che sa di spezia amara e rara". Malika inizia a lavorare al suo primo progetto discografico che vede la luce nell’autunno del 2008 e si intitola "Malika Ayane".L’album, un progetto di Caterina Caselli Sugar, è un crocevia di talenti: il produttore e arrangiatore Ferdinando Arnò (autore e compositore di tutte le musiche e di quasi tutti i testi, ad eccezione di "Fandango"), Pacifico (che è autore di due brani "Sospesa" e "Contro vento"), Giuliano Sangiorgi (autore di "Perfetta") e il Maestro Paolo Conte, che regala a Malika un brano inedito "Fandango". Malika è co-autrice di due brani: ‘Briciole’ e ‘Il Giardino dei Salici’.Il disco si avvale dei contributi artistici di alcuni importanti nomi dell’ambiente musicale internazionale: Tom Elmhirst (Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lily Allen, Moby, Maroon5 & Mary J. Blige) che ha missato la maggior parte dei brani, Tony Cousins (Massive Attack, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Williams), che ha masterizzato l’album ai "Metropolis studios" di Londra, e Vincent Mendoza (Björk, Joni Mitchell), che ha curato l’arrangiamento dell’orchestra nei brani "Il giardino dei salici" e "Perfetta".La pubblicazione dell’album è preceduta dal successo radiofonico del singolo "Soulwaver", ancor più noto nella sua versione italiana "Sospesa", che vede la partecipazione di Pacifico. Consacrazione e popolarità di Malika Ayane arrivano con "Feeling Better" (che rimane ai vertici dei brani più trasmessi dalle radio per oltre 4 mesi: un vero e proprio record per un’artista emergente) e con la calorosa accoglienza della critica musicale che titola: "E’ nata una voce. Malika Ayane con una melodia ha stregato Paolo Conte" (Gino Castaldo, Repubblica), "Malika Ayane canta Conte, ricordatevi di lei. Bellissimo album d’esordio" (Marco Mangiarotti, Il Giorno), "E’ difficile descrivere o attribuire un genere alla musica sospesa di Malika che si muove tra canzone italiana, suoni nu-soul e trip hop, con una produzione moderna da regina della black music americana e un’atmosfera speziata da Sud del mondo. E in questo paesaggio sfumato lei si muove con sicurezza e stile" (Michele Primi, Rolling Stone magazine)."Feeling Better" diventa un "tormentone" e il suo videoclip va in alta rotazione su tutti i principali network musicali. Il brano che Malika Ayane presenta al festival di Sanremo si intitola "Come foglie" (testo e musica di Giuliano Sangiorgi) ed è prodotto e arrangiato da Ferdinando Arnò.

Kathleen Vandenhoudt - Gracious





歌手名称:Kathleen Vandenhoudt
专辑名称:Gracious
公司厂牌:Plansjee Records
风格类型:Pop
发行日期:2009.02.27

In ons mistroostig landje met grijze luchten zijn gevoelvolle zangeressen toch veeleer spaarzaam verspreid. Enkele daarvan verstaan de kunst om verdriet, afscheid, sensualiteit en passie in eigen songs te verwerken op een manier die alleen aan vrouwelijke poëten is voorbehouden. Kathleen Vandenhoudt geboren in Diest, in de grensovergang naar Limburg, woont nu in het Gentse. Maar haar uitstraling is internationaal. De meeste Belgische muzikanten kennen deze veelzijdige artieste/zangeres, thuis in verschillende kunstdisciplines en al twintig jaar actief in de muziekbranche en op diverse podia. Zelfs in Spanje en Frankrijk is haar naam doorgedrongen, tenminste bij liefhebbers van blues met soul of het betere lied. Een tijdlang was zij immers één van de ‘Queens of the Blues’ samen met Pascale Michiels en in 2004 verscheen haar eerste soloalbum ‘Heart & Wings’. Nu, in haar tweede singer-songwriteralbum hoor je opnieuw die licht hese stem kwetsbare gevoelens vertolken. Ergens lijkt zij een kruising van een jonge Marianne Faithfull en een halfvolwassen Anaïs Nin, maar de poëtische liedkunst lijkt van Sylvia Plath te komen. Alle songs schreef Kathleen zelf, sommige met J. Mahieu en gitarist Luc Alexander als co-acteur. Die mannelijke component hoor je in het obsessieve ‘Obsession’, waarin woestheid en kracht het tempo opjagen. In ‘Let It Burn’ laait diezelfde felheid op, maar dan meer ingehouden. De elektrische gitaarbegeleiding houdt het vuur gloeiend. Kathleen is een zangeres/muzikante van het kaliber dat wil uittesten hoe vuur aanvoelt, met alle risico’s om zich eraan te verbranden. In meerdere songs kiest zij zo voor onbevangen intimiteit. Het bloedmooie en intense ‘Moon’ met de cello van Robrecht Kessels vermengt tristesse met hoop, net zoals het sensuele ‘Kiss The Longing’, dat hunker reveleert. De jazzy Mark Isham sfeer vind je terug op ‘Don’t Ever Stop Carressing Me’ met discrete koperblazers. In het zwoele ‘Dance Naked Dance’ met de bandoneon van Gwen Cresens tref je Latijnse melancholie en dito ritmes aan. In het wiegelied ‘Little Song For Little You’ zit tederheid verscholen, alsof een beschermengel een zegen meegeeft aan de slaap van een kind. De dichteres in Kathleen deinst er niet voor terug om haar broze kant te tonen, vooral in de liefdessongs. Insgelijks in ‘Framed My Dad’ alsof daar de mythische Elektra het even van haar overneemt. Behalve het magische ‘Moon’ heeft ook het titelnummer ‘Gracious’ iets tijdloos. Ooit beweerde zij dat veel van haar songs biografisch zijn. Toch durft zij het aan om zich in haar songs volledig te geven. Typisch voor een songschrijfster die zichzelf aanspoort om als een vrouwelijke Zorro het paard te bestijgen en de degens te kruisen. Deze rebelse amazone van het songwriterwereldje bewijst met dit gevarieerd album dat zij vele genres aankan, compositorisch èn dichterlijk. Zij wordt daarin bijgestaan door een tiental muzikanten, vrienden, sympathisanten en tijdelijke reisgezellen op haar creatief pad. Een enkele keer zingt ook Pascale Michiels mee. Alle instrumentalisten voegen muzikale rijkdom toe aan dit meergelaagd album dat Live werd ingespeeld met Nils De Caster als producer. Kathleen’s wereldklasse ligt in haar eerlijke vertolking van het hele gamma van zielskwellingen en groeipijnen zoals alleen engelen met gehavende vleugels en schorre stem dat kunnen. (Marcie)

An album gross acoustical therefore, a simple electric piano to remind us of the sweet emotions Trip Hop and the delicious voice of Beatrice, which finds the best way to express the fragility and sensuality of his singing. A Sigh Of Relief is a welcome surprise, where simplicity meets the sublime. In only 6 tracks including 2 times particularly well done, Tara King th imposes its originality, its light / dark dreamlike music, which is likely not to leave anyone indifferent.

Anna Coddington is one of New Zealand’s foremost heroines of independent pop music, as is evident on her debut, self-produced album “The Lake”, released in June 2008.

Coddington has been quietly kicking around New Zealand’s music scene for some time now. She has been heard singing in the background of some well known tunes by New Zealand artists like Bic Runga, Anika Moa, SJD, Dimmer and more, and in the foreground of casually released pop gems by her former bands Handsome Geoffery and Duchess.

Coddington grew up in the sleepy seaside town of Raglan, New Zealand. By age 11 her Dad had taught her the 4/4 rock beat and she was clanging away on the drums with gay abandon, by 14 she had wrangled a few guitar chords out of her Mum, and by age 16 she was fronting and writing for her first band, Handsome Geoffery.

Coddington later filled the same roles in four piece band Duchess- a more mature and refined distillation of her talents. She co-produced, with Edmund McWilliams Jnr (aka. Ed Cake of Bressa Creeting Cake fame), the six-track "Duchess" E.P, which was released independently in 2005, and distributed by Rhythmethod. It included the singles “You Buried Me Alive” and “Raglan City” (which won the 2007 Juice TV “People’s Choice” award).

When Duchess disbanded in 2006, Coddington toured nationally and internationally as support act and backing singer for other New Zealand acts, but by 2007 an overwhelming desire to focus her creative energy back into her own tunes took hold, and put into motion the process which culminated in her album, “The Lake”.

Ms Coddington has a unique talent for writing beautiful songs with a twist of reality, making "The Lake" a delightfully engaging album.

Strand Of Oaks - Leave Ruin





歌手名称:Strand Of Oaks
专辑名称:Leave Ruin
公司厂牌:La Société Expéditionnaire
风格类型:Alternative/Indie/Folk
发行日期:2009.01.27

以为是垃圾 (Grunge)所以下了听听
发现原来是独立类的风格,说实话也不算太失望......

Strand of Oaks is Timothy Showalter, an Indiana Mennonite turned Pennsylvania Hebrew Dayschool teacher who even drives the school bus for extra cash (and has sing-alongs with the pupils as they ease on down the road). It's like a scene from "Behind the Music" if the weed-soaked Tom Petty was your busdriver, and in this case the metaphors, spread throughout nine tracks, are to be taken quite literally.

Leave Ruin is Strand of Oaks' hometown deathbed-confession hymnal, the soundtrack of an Exodus. It's been back roads and parenthetical side streets for Showalter since he left his ruin of small town America. As a Hoosier transplant, he landed in the fertile musical soil of Northeastern Pennsylvania with a few key twists of fate that would turn his tragedy into trajectory.
While escaping a relationship gone worse, Showalter returned home to a house burned down, leaving all of his earthly possessions charred in flames. Spending nights in downtown hotels and on park benches with a borrowed guitar, he began to face the proverbial demons. Like any good roller coaster ride there came an upside, as inspiration grew like weeds within the rubble; songs led to shows, which led to tours of the US and UK with Jason Anderson and Kimya Dawson. Leave Ruin took shape shortly thereafter while touring and collaborating with Lou Rogai (Lewis & Clarke).

Taking cues from such luminaries as Neil Young (On the Beach era) and a burgeoning Springsteen, Showalter extends his musical gesture and searches to find modesty in the midst of confusion, addressing insecurities and settling existential debt with a simple and beautiful delivery. The personification of a Midwestern Grandfather's advice, his songs smack with hard truth and poignant severity, from child-like naivete to heart worn wisdom... sparse guitar, hammond, rhodes and wooden instruments support an atmosphere that is tender and raw, at times uncomfortable, shockingly candid, and unforgettable.

乐队中文介绍转自网络:

White Rabbits 从中西部乾旱的平原上来到纽约.虽然他们在这里待了只有一年多的时间,他们出众的创作能力和对乐器把握的恰到好处就已经得到了Say Hey公司的赏识以及制作人Chris Zane的垂青(曾为Shy Child, Asobi Seksu, Les Savy Fav制作过专辑).

他们成功的做出了一张充满震撼和创造力的专辑.在Fort Nightly中他们透露出来了毫不做作的乐观精神,这让听众在面对困难的时候也可以鼓起掌来. White Rabbits无论是音乐还是个人风格都相当有范儿,他们带来全新的体验,这正是人们举着放大镜到处找寻的.

The band formed while several of the members were attending the University of Missouri; Greg Roberts and Stephen Patterson met at the college in 2004. Alex Even, Adam Russell and Greg had formerly played in the band Texas Chainsaw Mass Choir. Originally, White Rabbits had five members, but following relocation to New York City the following year, the band expanded to six members. The sixth member, Jamie Levinson, had grown up on the same street as Roberts in Webster Groves, Missouri. Roberts and Levinson previously played in a ska band together in high school, The Hubcaps, as well as an acoustic punk band in college.

The White Rabbits recorded their first studio album, Fort Nightly, and released it in 2007 to the public through Say Hey Records. The album was critically lauded throughout the media.

In addition to consistent touring, they have been featured on NPR's World Cafe, where the band discussed how they met and formed in the college town of Columbia, Missouri, their early sound, and performed three songs.

They have also performed on the Late Show with David Letterman.
In 2009, the band will release their second album, titled It's Frightening, produced by Britt Daniel, lead singer and guitarist of Spoon. The album is set to be released on TBD Records, which also hosts the bands Radiohead and Underworld.

Putumayo Presents - India



歌手名称:Various Artists
专辑名称:Putumayo Presents - India
公司厂牌:Putumayo
风格类型:World
发行日期:2009.02.24
官方网站:www.putumayo.com

Putumayo World Music presents India, a CD collection showcasing India’s rich musical variety, from traditional and acoustic music to Bollywood and electronica. India’s emergence as a global economic power has brought increased awareness of this extraordinarily diverse country’s multicultural offerings, its music foremost among them.

India’s thriving popular music scene—an adjunct to the country’s immense Bollywood film industry—is highlighted on this collection. The love ballad “Tere Bina,” from the 2007 blockbuster Guru, was written by acclaimed film composer and Oscar winner A.R. Rahman, who took home the awards in the Best Score and Best Original Song categories for his work on Best Picture Slumdog Millionaire. The song also features Chinmayee, the award-winning female playback singer (an artist who records the songs that actors lip-synch). Rajeshwari Sachdev’s “Maavan Te Tiyan,” is another hit Bollywood song from the film The Perfect Husband.

Guitarist Sanjay Divecha, a Mumbai native who performed Western pop music in Los Angeles before returning home in search of his roots, contributes “Naino Sey”. The song features vocalist Kailash Kher, one of the most popular singers in India today thanks to his extensive work in Bollywood and string of pop hits.

Several stellar musicians display their Indian classical music expertise. Satish Vyas, represented by his song “Homeward Journey,” is a renowned master of the santoor, or Indian hammered dulcimer. Deepak Ram (“Ganesha”) is a virtuoso of the bansuri (Indian flute), while Bombay Jayashri (“Zara Zara”) specializes in the Carnatic South Indian vocal tradition.

Taking Indian music in a new direction, evocative British/Indian singer-songwriter Susheela Raman blends her South Indian classical music training with Western jazz and acoustic folk influences in “Nagumomo.” Kiran Ahluwalia, a Canadian vocalist of Indian descent, offers a fresh take on India’s poetic ghazal (love song) tradition through the moving “Vo Kuch.” Kiran worked for Putumayo World Music for three years before pursuing a professional music career.

Finally, Uma Mohan’s ode to the Hindu god Shiva, “Shiva Panchakshara Stotram/Shiva Shadakshara Stotram,” exemplifies the spiritual aspect of Indian music that has appealed to Western musicians ever since the Beatles embraced the sitar and transcendental meditation. These days, Indian devotional music is used by millions of practitioners of yoga and meditation around the world.

中文介绍转自网络:

本张专辑歌曲的旋律和Jewel前几张专辑的风格大多相同,都以抒情为主。但在制作人Lester A. Mendez的协助之下,Jewel将舞曲,民谣以及民间音乐等多种音乐元素融入到了这张新作《0304》之中。而Jewel的演唱还坚持了其一贯的风格,嗓音清澈而且具有磁性,清新自然,仿佛阿拉斯加的皑皑白雪一样纯净。然而Jewel并不是只靠与生俱来的嗓音而立足,Jewel和另一位流行/摇滚女歌手Sheryl Crow就有很多相似之处:她们的音乐给人的感觉都十分的独特。两人对歌曲的旋律起伏的把握有异曲同工之妙。

本张专辑虽然依然难逃世俗的商业化包装,但是Jewel却在专辑中融入了自己很多真实而又独到的音乐理念,和以前的几张专辑相比,Jewel这次表现的更加出色了,对旋律的把握也更加成熟。与一般的流行舞曲专辑不同,Jewel在《0304》中没有失真,而是更多的保留了自己的原味。正如Jewel对歌迷说的那样:“这是我自己真正喜欢听的一张专辑,它简直太棒了。"

BETTY FORD CENTER

LUCIA REHAB (VOCALS AND GUITARS)
NUNZIO (GUITARS)
TIZ (DRUMS AND VOCALS)

Betty Ford Center was formed in July 2005. Shortly afterwards, they won four national contests, including the ”Heineken Jammin’ Festival” contests, whose guests were SMASHING PUMPKINS, PEARL JAM, JULIETTE AND THE LICKS, AND MANY OTHERS. In January they recorded “Enjoy the rehab” at the Red House Recordings studio with David Lenci (sound engineer for Shellac and Blonde Redhead). They appeared on the front page of several local and national newspapers, acclaimed for their outstanding originality and, at the same time, for their incendiary live performances. The band also made many beautiful gigs and got many great reviews, among which we can surely mention the one written by Carlo Pastore, VJ of “Our Noise” and "TRL", ON AIR EVERY DAY ON MTV. As the band kept performing throughout Italy and also abroad (Belgium, Germany…) they often aired on well known tv channels and radios (including BRF, the belgian national radio...). They were also noticed by a producer, Matteo Cifelli, and started moving between Rome and Milan recording “UNCOOL”, a powerful five track EP released in 2008. Shortly afterwards they started recording “POISON FOR YOU”, their first full length. It contains 16 tracks full of violence, sick sweetness and sensual psychosis. IT'S JUST COME OUT (FEB, 15, 2009)

The story behind Yonlu is one of tragedy and beauty. A young man from the city of Porto Alegre, it can be hard to find one's identity in a Brazilian city off the beaten path. Writing hundreds of songs in his youth, he committed suicide at age 16 with nothing but his online community of fans and the sounds he offered them. Sounding something like a cross between a lo-fi Caetano Veloso meeting the guitar stylings of Nick Drake. This is a showcase of the sounds of a soul lost between the lines, and fortunately he left behind a taste of a young mind working wonders.

Sydney Wayser - The Colorful





歌手名称:Sydney Wayser
专辑名称:The Colorful
公司厂牌:Silent Parade Records
风格类型:Indie/Folk
发行日期:2009.03.24
视听主页:www.myspace.com/sydneywayser
官方网站:www.sydneywayser.com

Intimate and playful, placid and serene. Melancholy and dark, with occasional hints of passing sadness. This is the sound of Sydney Wayser, a twenty one year-old singer-songwriter who with her French father and American mother has lived her life between Paris and Los Angeles. Sydney’s music is rife with tales and adventure; it quite simply draws you into her world, delicately.

Her first album, entitled “Silent Parade”, showcases Sydney’s elegant blend of strings, piano, guitar and percussion, that at once enraptures and brings you into her world where carousels’ turn with youthful exuberance, and love is questioned in lucid prose. It is the ode to simplicity and a nod to grace that truly defines the impact of Sydney’s writing and voice. There’s a tranquil and frozen moment feel, reminiscent of a Modigliani portrait hatched in a small studio in Montparnasse. Time spent in Paris only ripened her desire to study the great painters, singers, and iconic figures of both worlds, and fed her mind and soul with a wealth of experience and vision with which to develop her music.

A playful though somewhat introverted spirit, as a teenager she cultivated her passion for writing music and developed her intellect and vast interests, including ballet, film, and literature, later honing in on music as her true love. Place de la Bastille was inspired by the famous French film Amelie. “Jean-Pierre Jeunet uses striking colors to create a repetitive pattern through the film. Occasionally he introduces light blue, a more subtle color to symbolize something significant, but hidden when blinded by the red and green. I thought this was an analog for finding some of life’s more crucial elements, buried amidst all the distraction of our days.”
There is a surface paradox at play here: Sydney’s music is free and colorful and wide-eyed; recalling a young girl on Parisian side streets, in her mind conversing with the great artists and writers who once pounced on those same cobblestones. At the same time, she conveys a charm and wit well beyond her twenty years, and with an unusual command of language and phrasing.
Silent Parade is a moving collection, showcasing a talented, young, and personable songwriter with a visceral offering of poetry and song that remarks on the beauty of innocence.

Melissa McClelland is a Canadian singer-songwriter who covers a lot of musical territory, from the bluesy rock of Glen Rio and Money Shot to the jazzy vaudeville of God Loves Me. Her third album Victoria Day will appeal to Tom Waits and Bonnie Raitt fans

The album contains two different takes of the title track. The Motown horns augmented version for rain in April, and the swagger for May. Melissa McClelland sings with ease and has the stage presence to shut up the guys discussing sports in the back of the hall. And yes, that's Ron Sexmith singing harmony on Seasoned Lovers.
