Shock cinema - hell and highwater

Release date: 22nd of July, 2008

4/5

Label: Shock Cinema

Length: 33:59

There is nothing shocking about this Brooklyn's band, it is just a great female vocalist's album, a bit dreamy at some places, post-punky in its drum beats (slightly less than their EP "Our Way is Revenge"). Noisy guitar parts mixed with quite truthful lyrics about all this love things and juxtapositions. Oh well,...

Recommended tracks: Oddfellow, Albatross, Wax Wings

Bat for Lashes - Two Suns

Release date: 6th of April, 2009

4/5

Label: EMI UK
Length: 44:51

Natasha is defenitely a talanted charming young lady, and her 1st album we remember because of the nice animal-headed video "What's a girl to do", where she is cycling through the dark forest, telling us that her love is over.

The Sunday Times gave 5 stars to the new CD and called it the "record of the week". Atmospheric, ethnic tunes, yet her singing sometimes reminds me of Sinéad O'Connor's early 90s vocals, especially the single "Daniel". Anyway, looking at the cover with the two suns indeed, you see a pixie rather than just a human being, that is why she deserves to be admired.

Recommended tracks: Glass, Sleep Alone, The Big Sleep

Plus check out the double album "Perfect as Cats:Tribute to the Cure", where she covered " A Forest".
