our tastes seem to be coinciding...ie. I fuckin love Kiln - Ampday (one of my favourite albums for guitar, indie instrumentation with complete dynamic control) I'll have to give Sunbox a listen soon.
That Warp compilation is once again a seriously good album, nuff said about Boards Of Canada (i believe they are undisputed) Stewart Copeland has some damn fine releases I've yet to check out, but apparently besides being in The Police, he played in Curved Air which was a great pop-prog group of the early 70's very cool stuff all round. you can sample the Zeni Geva album I had in mind here [url]http://www.allmusic.com/album/freedom-bondage-mw0000646573[/url] |

Hi
I have just recently created a new website about new indie music. I need feedback to see if it is worth while or just a waste of time. I have not finished it yet and i have a lot of work to do on it. I would like someone to look at it and be honest if the gist of it looks ok. Please could you join the forum on it or leave a comment on here or on my website comment box if have something to say. Here is the website - newindiemusic.weebly.com Thank you :chug: |

The Push kings - S/T The Merrymakers - No Sleep Till Famous |

Was very very pleased by the Warp compilation, such a nice package. There's something so solid about the 1st Spyro OST, it's just all so wonderfully percussive, can listen attentively to his drummy melodic style or as background Ended up finding the KK Null/Plotkin album, still on the horizon of listening. Dunno anything about your last 3 albums you most recently posted haha. For me, June 2013 is the best month in music I can remember a single month having for quite some time. Still need to digest all of these fully; in no order of ranking: Queens of the Stone Age - [I]...Like Clockwork [/I](haven't listened) These New Puritans - [I]Field of Reeds [/I](more and more assured/ambitious/knowledgable with each release) Boards of Canada - [I]Tomorrow's Harvest[/I] (mandatory) Zomby - [I]With Love[/I] (quality control could be an issue at 33 trax... we'll see past its amazing immediacy. some people haven't liked it at all) ....... and last but not least........ Rodan - [I]Fifteen Quiet Years[/I] (completely obsessing over every quality i had already been doing for 4-5 years - remastering is awesome. the most essential retrospective of non-album tracks since Faraquet - [I]Anthology[/I], however, more historically important and accomplished) |
Yeah there are definitely no short amount of 2013 releases to check out. I still need to scoop up that Boards Of Canada album.
If you've never heard it, check out 'Shipping News - Save Everything', some of the members of Rodan (jeff mueller, jason noble) formed it...it's got the expected 'heady' instrumentation. |
I've heard random shipping news tracks come up on pandora and stuff, never gave any of their albums a go. sounds groovy, the tracks were

I'm not loving the QOTSA album, but there are some gems on there. If I Had a Tail was sweet. The disappointing thing for me about TNP is that when I heard that song Fragment 2 a few months back, I was just waiting and waiting for it to get awesome and it never did. I like the music video a lot though. |
[QUOTE=voltandvolumecom;19046397]Excellent album![/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm pretty hooked on jason falkner's projects. Ro Sham Bo is the rockiest envisioning of power-pop and a bit of neo-psych. His debut solo album is really damn good too. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRUrcfT8LOk[/url] |
I'm regressing a little at the moment:
Dead Kennedys - Bedtime for Democracy Lamb of God - New American Gospel Opeth - Ghost Reveries |

It's really good (I'll never tire of the first track "I Live"). Actually, I also really like his second solo album. Since then, he's lost me a little bit, I have to admit. Maybe I just haven't paid close enough attention!? |

he's worked with and helped a lot of guys record fantastic albums. Eric Matthews - It's Heavy In Here : some wonderful baroque pop infused with lots of rock influences. Brendan Benson's sophomore album was written with Jason Falkner. He was in the first Jellyfish album, which is quite an album. |

And yes, Eric Matthews' "It's Heavy In Here" is great, too. I recall reading about the Brendan Benson album, but never actually got around to listening to it for some reason. I'll have to rectify that. |
yeah same goes on the jellyfish front for me. And the brendan benson album is very concise pop, with a definite Falkner sound.
|
You guys have just gotten me really into Jason Falkner. Thanks.
Ro Sham Bo isn't on Spotify though =/ |
!!! that's good stuff.

i have to admit though my favorite of the stuff i've heard these last few hours wasn't even the jellyfish stuff he was involved with. split milk is a sweet album
|
Jellyfish has a really unique sound, for some reason I hear overtones of queen and stuff in the harmonies. I like Jason Falkners stuff because he has a really good touch for power-pop, crunchy guitars, and neat shifts in the songs.
|
It's Queen, Weezer, Ben Folds (obv before those two but just for reference's sake), and Bubblegum pop all in one. I like it a lot
|
yeah, i'm a fan.
Other great artists with a similar sound are: Push Kings(if most bands are coined with being influenced by Sgt. Pepper's Beatles period, these guys are much more influenced by either american bubblegum pop, or beatles early period) The Merrymakers, The Posies(more power-pop), The Greenberry Woods( a bit blatant with their harping of the power-pop style), The Wondermints those are the noteworthy bands I've come across in my search for more well-produced pop-rock. |

The Posies
The Posies' "Frosting On The beater" is a great album, probably their most critically acclaimed. However, my personal favorite is "Amazing Disgrace", one of my favorite '90s albums. Still love it to this day.
