Book Of Right On


Brightblack Morning Light - Brightblack Morning Light

These two new-age hippies make slow and languid music which meanders about your living room. A very calm and chilled affair in which the band try and escape from the modern urbanisation of today, they infact lived in tents in the californian desert for quite a while. Nice to listen too on a hot lazy summers day.





NOMO - New Tones

NOMO are an amazing band who fuse together Afrobeat, avantgarde jazz and funk and produce stunning tracks. Electronics and dub make appearances but the underlying driving force of their music is the rhythm. Superbly written, produced and stuffed full of willful but unpretentious exoctisim. Really "a must listen" if you like anything other than Indie Rock.

Essential





Out Hud - S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D

Out Hud are unique. They are an oddball disco post-punk instrumental indie dance outfit. The flowing album is packed full of pulsating grooves and webs of intricate adornments tangled up with psychedelic dance music. Yet again an essential listen. Also the bassist Nic Offer, the guitarist Tyler Pope and the sound engineering Justin van der Volgen are all in !!!, so good pedigree.

Essential

"oddball disco post-punk instrumental indie dance"...how can I resist!? Impossible! Thnx mate!

Annuals -> BRILLIANT
Twilight Sad -> have to give a few more spins
haha well i did kind of put out all stops on that one. you might notice it's down but it might not be for long, so come back shortly everyone else, but on the other hand maybe it won't be.

annuals are brillant glad some people like them. the twilight sad definitley needs a good amount of listens, the whole album is in essence on big work of art which needs to realised in the whole. i kept at it and was rewarded. no however i've got a big dilemma of seeing them support Mice Parade or to go see Danielson, both playing on the same night, urghhh.

go see the twilight sad and tell me how they are... depends what mood you're in, i guess! danielson are a lot of fun live.
i'm really into the harrrd scots vocals vs. the wall of electric guitars; wonderful melodies. had no trouble getting into it, possibly because i listened to it on headphones and its impossible not to engage. worth every effort folks!

I've decided to go for the Twilight Sad, I saw them at pitchfork but it was rather short so hopefully i'll catch a bit more here, also wouldn't mind seeing what Mice Parade's like.

so far so good

I've had a chance to listen to out hud and def can see their relation to !!! just without crazy vocals. Also had a chance to listen to NOMO, both albums make for good listening. Getting annuals right will tell you what I think after a give a listen. Thanks for introducing me to some sweet ear candy!

Loved the NOMO! I'm hosting a get together in a couple of nights and this will fit right in the rotation. Fun, lively, different. Not music to chill out to, but to stimulate conversation and keep things exciting.

(=^_^=)
Yeah, exactly what its for, a good party album. Its the funk.
