TRACKS OF THE WEEK - 17/02/13 - Roisin Murphy, Robert Delong, Willy Mason, The Cribs, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Five meteors that knocked us over this week...

Old Pa's Corner:-

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - 'Jubilee Street' (2013)

This track is from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds new album just released, Push the Sky Away (2013). It is a fantastic album and is exactly the way I like my Nick Cave served, all dark, moody, sexual and haunting. This track is a perfect example. It is almost a perfect album and is on my dog walking play list non-stop. I much prefer this than his Grinderman output. But that is not to say I don't like Grinderman because I do. A must hear album

Willy Mason - 'Pickup Truck' (2013)
I've been a fan of the gravelly singer since the start and his 2012 album, Carry On, is an absolute joy. With a UK tour in March, supporting Ben Howard in April and a number of festivals, 2013 could be the year that the Willy gets big.

Roisin Murphy - 'Simulation' (2012

I'm a big fan of Roisin Murphy's unique style, from her days in Moloko to Disco diva and she can rap too (check out a previous post here). Some fan then, as despite being released in late 2012, I only got to hear this song last week whilst visiting fellow blogger, Sfw. The video, however, has only just been released earlier this month. It's great house track, I love the thumping beat and hi-hat with Roisin's sultry vocals, I think it has the same sort of vibe as Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love', so if you want a bit of sauce....this one's for you.

Robert Delong - 'Global Concepts' (2013)

This song had me at hello. I love it when I'm instantly infatuated with a track and it's all about the giant metal bin sounding drums in this one! Robert Delong is bridging the gap between singer songwriter, producer, and indie electro guru. With it, he is bringing....interesting hair. I read that he is big into his gadgets and even plays joysticks and games console controllers on stage whilst playing loads of other instruments, so there's no denying he's got talent! His debut album, Just Movement, will be out in June following the release of this first single in April. I'm intrigued that the rest of it will make me f**king dance just like this does!

London Scouser:-
The Cribs - 'Leather Jacket Love Song' (2013)

When I heard this a week or so back on Xfm I thought to myself I haven't heard this song for a while. Little did I realise that it was in fact a new song that they recorded for their upcoming singles collection, 'Payola' which spans their first 10 years together from 2002-2012. Definitely 1 for me.
They have been a band that I have always loved, but seem to forget how much I like them, until the next time I hear them. I'm determined to see them live and will make it my mission as soon as possible.

TRACKS OF THE WEEK - 13/05/12 - The Pond, Now Now, The Cribs, WalterTrout

Now Now The Cribs The Pond Tracks of the Week Walter Trout

FOUR TRACKS THAT PUT FIRE IN OUR PANTS THIS WEEK!

Flycasual:-

The Pond - Circle Round a Tree (2012)

This is just a fabulous track. I first heard this about a couple of weeks ago and was instantly captivated by it and needed to hear more. It reminds me of those old 'Trip-Hop' groups in the 90's like Morcheeba, Hoover or Lemon Jelly with it's atmospheric lo fi vibe, perfect for lazing around on a hot sunny day......so sunshine hit me damn it, it's May! It's actually the first single from The Pond's debut album, of the same name, released on May 28th, a side project from British folk singer songwriter, Kathryn Williams. Want to know more? Go over to Kathryn William's site here or skim to The Ponds site where you can also download another of their tracks, 'Bepop' for free. Much better than playing with frog spawn. Word!

The Cribs - 'Come On, Be A No One'

The Cribs have been around since 2004 but I only got into them after 'Men's Needs' in 2007. I liked there modern punk sound which all their singles hooked me with, but my favourite was 'They Share The Same Skies' which I totally forgot about until I heard it in a shoe shop in Las Vegas last week. I'd forgotten how good they were! It's given me the healthy push I needed to check out their new stuff. This song is the second song from their new album called In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull which was release on May 7th. The Yorkshire lads have been commended by many even Zane Lowe(who is often first to reveal their new singles) and any friend of Zane's is a friend of ours! So cool to know Johnny Marr was even their guitarist from 2008 until last year! I missed seeing them earlier this year, but will be keeping abreast of their tour dates as can you on http://www.thecribs.com/!

Now Now "Threads"

"Perfect indie pop" comes to mind when I first heard this track by this Minneapolis-based trio and would be a band I would've probably heard of earlier if I was a reader of NME. Their debut album has gained critical acclaim and they were named a "band to watch" at the SXSW musical festival. I like!

Walter Trout - Lonely (2012)

The kids are screaming, the wife is screaming at you, the dog is barking, what you need is a nice bit of Blues to settle things down this Sunday morning. And this track from Walter Trout's new album 'Mondern Daze' fits the bill nicely thank you. It is classic Blues, all about despair and as the title suggests, being very very lonely. (Not much chance with all that noise around). But if you are still lonely with all that domestic mayhem, then we have a real problem on our hands. Maybe it is time to re-evaluate your life.

'Shut up Old Pa! you are talking bollocks!'. So just sit back and enjoy this excellent bluesy track, an ode to all this modern technology and media overload. Although I like this track I feel if the pace was slowed down a little it could be even better. A real slow burner.
