Director's Cut

Kate Bush
genre:
Pop
release date 2011-05-16
publisher:
EMI
2011 album from the British songstress. On Directors Cut, Kate revisits a selection of tracks from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes, a process that presents a fascinating portrait of an artist in a constant state of evolution. She has re-recorded some elements whilst keeping the best musical performances of each song - making it something of a director's cut but in sound, not vision. All the lead vocals and drums are new performances, some of the tracks featuring guests including Steve Gadd, Danny Thompson and, on backing vocals, Mica Paris. Three songs have been completely re-recorded, one of which is 'This Woman's Work.' EMI.

加拿大独立摇滚乐队拱廊之火(Arcade Fire)即将于8月2日发行专辑《郊外》(The Suburbs)。在推出两张成功的专辑之后,拱廊之火的第三张录音室专辑非常让歌迷期待。
《郊外》华丽的开篇唱到:“当我年轻的时候,希望有个女儿,我想牵着她的手,给她看美好的事物,在一切被破坏以前。”这种闲聊式的独白通常会以民谣来表达,拱廊之火却将它与体育馆摇滚结合起来,鼓点和键盘的旋律就像洪水一样滚滚而来。看来这才是赶时髦和尼尔扬结合的方式。和他们的音乐导师U2、布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀不同,拱廊之火对生活细节不感兴趣。当巴特勒唱到开车去休斯顿时,他只是说“我们听到引擎失灵的声音”,而斯普林斯汀则会告诉你到底是哪个零件出了问题(例如《Racing in the Street》<街头比赛>)。但这正是拱廊之火广受欢迎的原因之一,他们邀您共同体验解决问题的经过和成功后的喜悦。
《郊外》中的很多歌曲描绘了乐队对现实生活的体验。在《洛可可》中,夏莎妮和队友们用和声绝妙演绎了热情消退的过程。《准备开始》是独立乐队为名望所累的写照,巴特勒在歌中埋怨:“生意人,他们喝我们的血/就像艺术学校的孩子们一样。”让他失去信任的不只是艺术学校的孩子们,还有混乱的世界:“他们在70年代建造的所有房屋最终倒塌/毫无意义”。说到70年代,拱廊之火的音乐家们显然是从父辈收藏的德国艺术摇滚唱片中获得了灵感,这使得《准备开始》和《五月》这样的快歌显得格外简洁和均衡。《五月》这样描述那些不买账的摇滚观众:“孩子们紧抱着胳膊站着那里”。这句歌词原本会变成一个类似“滚出我的草坪”的长句,结果只用一个生动的画面就表达出来了。《深蓝》用华丽的钢琴来营造情绪,很像大卫·邦威的《Hunky Dory》(匈牙利渔船)。在那张专辑中,邦威用非常私人的视角讲述了父母和子女的关系。《郊外》的结尾是充满柔情和怜悯的,因为尽管有太多的哀与怒,拱廊之火从来没有远离过那些父母和孩子们。

The post-rock grandeur of Explosions in the Sky lends itself well to movies and television, so much so that the Texas foursome are pretty much synonymous with Friday Night Lights. The instrumental unit will further capitalize on their cinematic flair by releasing their original score to Prince Avalanche, the latest film from director David Gordon Green.

Primal Scream

1st International
More Light is the tenth studio album by Scottish band Primal Scream, released on 13 May 2013. The single "It's Alright, It's OK" received airplay on national stations including BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music and Absolute Radio and on music channel MTV Rocks, whilst it has also been played on a number of smaller stations including 106.9FM WHCR and Kingstown Radio.
More Light received highly positive reactions from critics, and is perhaps their most critically acclaimed album since XTRMNTR. On Metacritic, the album has a score of 77 out of 100, based on 29 reviews. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph gave a positive review of the album, describing it as "mesmerising" and containing "big, monstrous, mantra-like, psychedelic grooves". He went on to add More Light should do much to restore Primal Scream’s reputation as one of the country’s most creative and ambitious rock bands. The music is dense yet uplifting, creating its own tensions with Gillespie’s dark, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Songs like 2013, Culturecide, Tenement Kid and Walking With The Beast convey an impression of a highly strung, heartfelt assault on the inequities of the modern world, before building to the euphoric gospel release of closing track "It’s Alright, It’s OK".

Laura Marling returns this May with the follow up to 2011's 'A Creature I Don't Know'.
The new album, 'Once I Was An Eagle', was recorded at the Three Crows studio of regular producer and instrumentalist Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams, Vaccines), with Dom Monks on engineering duties and Marling's lifelong friend Ruth de Turberville on cello. It's a hugely ambitious record that reflects the dark themes of 'A Creature I Don't Know',
This is Laura's fourth album - an achievement in itself for a 23 year old, the remarkable nature of her talent and career being underlined by the 2011 Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist, the two Mercury Music Prize nominations, and the NME Award for Best Solo Artist that she's received in the years since her 2007 debut 'Alas I Cannot Swim'.

Bad As Me

Tom Waits
genre:
Rock
release date 2011-10-25
publisher:
Anti- Records
Throughout his career, Tom Waits has created milestone albums that serve both to refine the music that has come before, and to signal a new phase in his career: Rain Dogs and Mule Variations are both counted by fans as among these pivotal works. Now comes Bad As Me, his first studio album of all new music in seven years, which finds Tom Waits in possibly the finest voice of his career and at the height of his songwriting powers, working with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer/producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn-fueled chug of “Chicago,” to the closing barroom chorale of “New Year’s Eve,” Bad As Me displays the full career range of Waits’ songwriting, from beautiful ballads like “Last Leaf,” to the avant cinematic soundscape of “Hell Broke Luce,” a battlefront dispatch. On tracks like “Talking at the Same Time,” Waits shows off a supple falsetto, while on blues burners like “Raised Right Men” and the gospel tinged “Satisfied” he spits, stutters and howls. Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and mean, with strong hooks and tight running times. And there is a pervasive sense of players delighting in each other’s musical company that brings a feeling of loose joy even to the album’s saddest songs. Bad As Me is a Tom Waits album for the ages.
