i heard something about a slipknot album which is pretty sick
Sweet. The stylizing of the album title is kinda annoying, but I think it may just that the author uses caps for titles (song titles were all caps'd). Omni > OMNI“OMNI” — New album out May 4th on Dangerbird!
..Seattle-based quintet Minus the Bear are very excited to announce the release of their new album, OMNI, set for a May 4th release on Dangerbird Records. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket), OMNI showcases the quintet’s remarkable gift to craft visionary and gripping compositions, and with the assistance of Chiccarelli, revealing new layers in their songwriting as they pursue the next level in their inimitable musical style. With the exploration of erotic themes and fascinating tales of human sexual relationships, OMNI is a riveting new album of rich soundscapes illustrated by Minus The Bear’s trademark precision and tremendous growth as artistic lyricists and songwriters. Beginning April 21st, Minus the Bear will embark on a 6-week North American tour premiering these new tracks. Dates to be announced shortly. OMNI marks the first release for the band on Dangerbird.
With deep bass lines, mesmerizing syncopated guitar riffs, provocative lyrics and stimulating keyboards, OMNI explodes with a bursting energy and unpredictable experimentation. From lead-off single, MY TIME, which explores the band’s widescreen synth rock, to the punch of dueling guitars and keyboards on THE THIEF, from the intense psychedelicia of ANIMAL BACKWARDS to the driving rock of HOLD ME DOWN, OMNI continues Minus The Bear’s shape-shifting evolution and is a culmination of their past influences and present inspirations.
Over the years, Minus the Bear has won over legions of fans and critics with an exhilarating live show and a sound that is uniquely their own. With a devoted fan base, Minus the Bear sell out 2000-capacity venues nationwide whether on or off album cycle, have generated more than 13 million plays on MySpace, and continuously release new material (EPs and singles) to fan and critical acclaim.
Tour dates, track listing and more news to be announced shortly.
Don't really think it's for everyone, but if you're in to Pop-punk, then this is a masterpiece.Motion City Soundtrack's 'My Dinosaur Life' is amazing and I suggest everyone gives it a listen :) you can still listen to the entire album on their Myspace page.
Titus Andronicus's new album was pretty damn sick.i think this has been a good start to the year:
joanna newsom - have one on me
local natives - gorilla manor
beach house - teen dream
titus andronicus - the monitor
liars - sisterworld
although every time i listen to sisterworld i get as far as scissor and just think it probably wont get much better than that and stop. seriously fantastic track, and the video for it is perfect. like, perfect.
also everyone needs to listen to keepaway - baby style ep
you might have heard yellow wings already as it's been circulating the intranet and is probably the standout track, but this is a really solid ep. kind of hard to describe, but the closest reference point is definitely merriweather post pavillion. it's sort of wavy, synthy pop with alot of vocal harmonies and aaaaaaahing, with the exception of yellow wings which has the kind of rhythmic drumming and crazy tribal-sounding sampling that brother sport perfected on mpp. the lead singer even sounds scarily like panda bear on some tracks. everyone go download this right now.
really though all the good stuff is coming out at the start of may.
i have the exact same problem. and yeah, it doesn't get any better than Scissor. everything else is underwhelming after that save for 1 or 2 songs.although every time i listen to sisterworld i get as far as scissor and just think it probably wont get much better than that and stop.
