The Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten (2012)

The U.S. state of New Jersey has given birth to some of the most important icons of a variety of musical styles. From Patti Smith to Bruce Springsteen, to most of the members of Bon Jovi, The Fugees or Skid Row, and it seems that a new band is sitting in limbo in NJ musicians (and American).
The Gaslight Anthem, the band led by the considered "successor" of fellow Bruce Springsteen, Brian Fallon, presents his first album released by a "major"-and fourth-band, Handwritten, an album that has not left indifferent anyone.
And its mix of punk, indie folk with touches of rock that hit and strong especially after his second feature, The '59 Sound, has generated an avalanche of critical acclaim that led to share stage-and Collaborate Live - with the aforementioned Bruce Springsteen American Idol or walk through the stages of the world's most important festivals, such as Reading Festival Rock Am Ring or German.
Just bring the needle to vinyl or hit play in our player, you realize that is before the consolidation of a new star.
The roar of the first issue of "Handwritten" the single '45 ', sounds powerful, with an introduction and a cry that inject pace into the veins of the listener as if the most deadly poison. Some choruses to be chanted, catchy ... simple but effective. '45 'Is basically and in each of its letters, commonly define as "great song."
In the second song jump, others chanted cries give way to the song that is named after the album: 'Handwritten'. A guitar riff but does not exhaust resulting form, with a broken voice and rough Fallon (who comes to remind the Boss), a cocktail that inevitably leads us to listen to the next track. And that's 'Here Comes My Man', with a basic rhythm battery of Benny Horowitz, without any complications, and a catchy "oh sha la la"-resource differently but always used correctly is present in almost all the tracks on the album, 'fully met.
The next turn is for 'Mulholland Drive', which begins with another guitar intro of Alex Rosamilia, which functions as a second voice, performing a single accompanying Fallon along almost the entire song. Solvent and Alex Levine's bass playing tellingly, 'Mulholland Drive' has a good combination between voice and melodic six string that is soft but intense.
Then the disc seems out some U.S. bases to punk, to the sound of a harmonica and a touch of gospel in the voice of Brian Fallon, not take away one iota of strength to all that we heard from the principle, introduce the subjects 'Keepsake', 'Too Much Blood' and 'Biloxi Parish'. In all, the "second voice" of the band, the six strings of Rosamilia, giving authoritarian shown incredible strength to the sum total of the group. Half the record is consumed and each song is like a brick in the wall, one by one are combined to provide an overall sense of the album, none seem disparate to the other. The next topic, 'Howl' is a ray of just two minutes, starting with the "hook" which has been mentioned as one of the key pieces of the voices of The Gaslight Anthem, a "Hey, Hey, Heeeey!" That , with a chorus following the game, downloading a force that counteracts the point of tranquility of the three previous issues.
In the final stretch of "Handwritten" find 'Desire', which continues the line of force of 'Howl' for, with a quick introduction, develop a theme which will lead rapidly to the two final issues, slow but impressive: 'Mae 'and' National Anthem '. The latter is a ballad that ends the album talking about love, life and God with a very soft string section supporting the arpeggios leaving Fallon's guitar.
In short, "Handwritten" is a high quality along with logic, that knows how to combine different types of smooth intensity ... an album that gives a glimmer of hope, the rock is not dead, rock can still hit hard and Gaslight Anthem is the example.

Norah Jones - She's 22

It is little to Norah Jones concert at the Auditori of Barcelona, and we can not avoid hearing every day a "Little Broken Hearts" that has completely conquered. Let's face it: the dark is really fascinating way in which the creator of "Come Away With Me" and "Feels Like Home" has deconstructed some of the passages Tenebres occurred both in his personal history as it occurred in the life their closest people.

The heartbreak is the main theme of "Little Broken Hearts", so shine with their own light topics like grim 'Miriam' (which we analyze in depth two weeks ago) or 'She's 22', a court in which Jones is explanation of finding love your ex boyfriend professed by a young man who, incidentally, has ten years younger than the actress and singer.

Sensuality and harshness are holding hands on a piece of 3 minutes in length showing more fragile face of one of the few singers who, with his sensitivity, still remain erect a musical career that has prevailed since 2000.

Retrieving chapter of "Iconoclasts" with Fiona Apple and Quentin Tarantino

There is nothing I like better than those reports in which the show's producers fucks two artists from different disciplines and unite them for a certain period of time. Tracking conversations in such meetings are often the most interesting, getting different views range from the art world to analyze their role in the media circus (and public). I still remember the love he professed for "Iconoclasts," a Sundance Channel show that aired for five long years (2005 - 2010) and was attended meetings of artists including Ron Howard and Steve Nash, Venus Williams and Wyclef Jean or Today our protagonists: Fiona Apple and Quentin Tarantino.
I'm a big fan of chapter starring the creator of "The Idler Wheel ..." and director of "Pulp Fiction". Both were known for some time (in fact girlfriend Fiona was Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the best friends of Quentin) and that led them to maintain a very good friendship over a period of their lives. After several years without seeing, Tarantino and Fiona return to match the occasion of the program, causing all sorts of getting the most endearing moments.
More than anecdotes, or mere nonsense, as discussed in the video, I'm definitely with deep converse between them on the status of artists, the reason for the alleged consequences (second albums, second movies ) and contamination in the music and film industry. It is with stories so one discovers true fanaticism that the director of "Reservoir Dogs" feels for his films (at least for the first), and the emotional impulse that led always to Fiona Apple to show their feelings in front of a piano .
I may not like the singing style of Fiona Apple, or the frantic way of directing by Quentin Tarantino. Even so I highly recommend you to try to see the report, and if you are interested in the art world. Because more than the work of sound XX or YY, "Iconoclasts" is about how to generate works, and how to understand them from the point of view of who produced them.

The Vaccines - Come Of Age (2012)

His story is crazy. The Vaccines founded the band in 2010, suddenly they signed to Columbia Records, released a debut album - "What Did You Expect From The ...?" - And only years after the end of 2011 had already eaten half the size singles world 'Post Break Up Sex', 'Norgaard' and 'Blow It Up'. So effective is the formula sound of London that after taking their first LP went straight for a second: an album called "Come of Age" which will be released tomorrow in Europe and the UK.
Unlike what is seen in their debut album, Young Justin's band this time wanted a record that accurately reflect the strength of their live energy. To get the frantic foursome locked himself in the studio with Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Laura Marling), producer Justin & Co. pushed to record all issues in the old way. You know: button "rec" tight and everyone playing and singing like crazy. The result of this imperfect but convulsive fabled experiment works in a "Come of Age" which together apparently improves on its predecessor.
And the surprise is that I've been with "Come of Age" has been capitalized. There is an aura sound, sixties soul and post-punkera appearance that all issues surrounding the compact. That with "What Did You Expect From ...?" Did not happen, the issues were excellent (undeniable!) But more than an LP like a disparate collection of singles. A clear example of this new situation? The established between 'I Always Knew' and 'All In Vein', both pieces appear to be carved on a pattern that leads directly to the heart more purely rock roller of yesteryear.
After several listeners feel that there are two songs that are above the rest. The first is 'Aftershave Ocean', a sinuous piece four minutes in which Freddie Cowan's guitar takes on a crucial and refreshing role. Then there's 'Bad Mood', probably more furiously cutting rocker Londoners have managed so far. Such is the emphasis of this savage cut the concert audience of Vaccines have already begun to "moshpits" to listen to the first verse of this song frantic.
Did you like "What Did You Expect From ...?"? Yeah? So please listen to "Come of Age". Perhaps individual parts are not as huge as the first LP but a collective level encourages dance album and brings a new sound wave as refreshing. That, at this point in 2012, it is an outrage. A surf!

Song by song Toundra analyze issues "(III)"

Toundra yesterday published its third and highly anticipated studio album entitled "(III)". The expectation created with this LP has been complete and they, who have always known feet touch ground at all times, have managed to carve another big bombshell that will delight those who enjoy the beautiful with the apocalypse that characterizes his delusional instrumental sound.
Looking ahead to this time we wanted to know absolutely everything about the recording process of 'Lilim', 'Mars', 'Spiritist' and other songs "(III)" so we got in touch with the band from Madrid to see if we could make a 1 x 1 album cuts, something they very kindly agreed adding a clear and concise message: this time Toundra have wanted to deviate from the main path of post rock. What was important at this point? "Victor explains to us:" We have tried to offer something different to our previous album, something more raw, straight, dark, aggressive yet elegant, more complex, and it sounds better compound more our live. It is clear that there are many things and very ambitious, but to this day, is the best record we could do. ". Moreover Esteban tells us that DNA is well expressed in Toundra "(III)", "believe that the disc very well defined Toundra because what you hear is what we are: a battery that protrudes completely from the rest, two guitars faced with completely opposite styles and low that brings together all the instruments and (Alberto) always has the last word. "
Without further ado here are the boys' own analysis of Toundra. Enjoy it!
01. - Ara Coeli:Esteban: Since Victor taught guitar opens the track with the synth knew that this topic would be the track 1 disc. Victor is also the progressive riff that, in our opinion, is the best parts of (III). It's a song that defines our sound right now is pretty parts, crescendo, sugarcane parties, progressive ... but otherwise I do not think an earlier in structure and instrumentation. So I like both. Will fill in an atmosphere of harmony and order and then give a blow to the head. Also involved Hellacopters inspired and was the first riff I did when we knew we had to get to work on this album every man for himself. But the good thing about this group is that the different influences that we are safeguarded in all four playing. The name is a tribute to my aunt (and my family), Araceli, cornerstone Girón family, rest in peace.
02. - Black Sky:Victor: It was the second issue that we started writing (around April-May, 2011). Over the last year has had multiple versions and I remember that everything came from a riff that brought Stephen and began directly without the intro. Possibly the subject disk might best be embedded within (II) is more palatable and less complicated structure. The start trying to sound different, rock group of the 70 and then the second part enlazase is more relaxed. By July we get stuck halfway through and had to compose theme Ara Coeli. Sergio (Aloud Music) defines something like "a song that slams you and at the end leaves you totally cleansed." As a curious note that this was the first song I had more than one word as title Toundra entire discography.
03. - Requiem:Esteban: A weekday lunch with Victor was and I said I wanted a theme that oxygenate the disc, something different, as there was in the previous two. I knew what he meant: a theme that will give variety to "(III)", which come out fully the style of practice and influences drank away in time. That night I could not sleep and di guitar playing with the idea of ​​this topic. Then Victor wrote at local guitar melody, and I noticed shortly after with the chord progression. I recorded it to share it with the rest by mail. Then the local Victor composed the guitar riff, which gives an air of melancholy to the topic. From there the issue grows and grows into one of the most epic we've ever done, thanks largely to the string arrangements by Yoren, a childhood friend of Alberto. It also has a guitar solo from our (admired) The Scrip friend Hardtops, for us one of the people who best represents the rock.
04. - Mars:Victor: It was the first song I started writing and just last. It grew out of an improvisation on several ideas that had brought Esteban. There were things that we were not convinced and leave "pending" until about February 2012. Alberto insisted recycle the original principle of the song, which was too broken and wanted to experience something more wild. Alex has used this type of rhythms with other groups, although he had never applied to Toundra, the end result is superb. The song was a coming and going to parties, had up to a war vs Victor alone. Esteban, but luckily recovered sanity and decided to top it with a hand full of timbales dense, much more consistent with the rest of the theme. The icing was recorded trumpet line Manolo, that replicates the guitar melody. This is a very dynamic and fun to play live. I think little by little we are more interested in playing things faster.
05. - Lilim:Esteban: The riff that starts the song we had done it a long time and we left parked. We had several jokes about it because it reminded us of a particular style of music you hate. Thanks to Alex battery change and the work they did on the Westline Studios with the help of Juan Blas in preproduction not just take it out later, but we took it a step further ... the beginning of this song envelops you, it is difficult to explain in words. My guitar is a mantra that nothing enters the dense atmosphere of bass and drums and guitar riff Victor with exotic snakes on the set. I particularly like because it has a line of guitar playing that goes along with the song but small changes within the same (if arpeggiated, if as a riff, that if in crescendo ...). This is something that before we dared and we see that it worked. There's a part at the end which is a tribute to Nirvana, capital group in our influences.
06. - Spiritist:Victor: I think it was the third song we wrote. In (III) have worked enough ideas at home and then we took her to the local. Victor wrote home composed the start of the topic and the next day we taught. Anyone know which group is quite difficult to have a beginning, an end and nothing in between ... I wanted it to be an issue epic feeling to give final disc, but neither lost immediacy, energy, nor was longer than the others. It is another issue that has changed over time, actually got to release a version Ferrara Anniversary concert that today would be unrecognizable to us except for those beginning and end ... It has a very interesting middle and dark, a crescendo of piano with Egyptian air that we love. (Steve: Although I wanted to erase bastards).
Victor: We were very clear from the beginning that we wanted to voice at the end and we gradually fitting all the extra instruments and arrangements have item. A disk end of cutting less than the (I) or (II), much more intention. From guitars fading exhausted.
