DEPECHE MODE ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ Review

Sounds of the Universe… Depeche Mode’s 12th studio album… is …well …a Depeche Mode Album. Melancholy lyrics, Dave Gahan’s English baritone, and Martin Gore’s songwriting and production keep the group sounding the way they have for the last 20 or so years, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If you’re expecting something completely new and innovative, you might want to look somewhere else. If you’re anticipating moody, synthy, atmospherey music that you can apply black eyeliner to, then Depeche Mode’s new album might do the trick. Some old analog synths, some distorted guitars, songs about longing, despair, and the mandatory Martin Gore sensitive song, it’s all there. You know Depeche Mode feels like an old highschool relationship …one where even if you don’t fully identify and connect with it anymore… the familiarity is comforting. I’m looking forward to my lawn seats for the upcoming tour. I need to buy some black jeans…

Two Suns - Bat For Lashes Review

Did you ever have a crush on that real smart, quiet, artsy girl and wanted to impress her with a cool mixtape? Well try using the new BAT FOR LASHES album TWO SUNS instead. It’s like taking songs from Kate Bush’s HOUNDS OF LOVE, Bjork’s DEBUT, the Cocteau Twins’ BLUE CALENDAR CAFE and Tori Amos’ LITTLE EARTHQUAKES and mixing them together with the hopes that you will get to chill with cool artsy girl and maybe get to make out with her and talk deep intimate thoughts until the morning. BAT FOR LASHES, a pseudonym for artist NATASHA KAHN, is a haunting album of an artist coming into her own. While she has been compared to the above mentioned artists, she is definately her own musician with her own voice and a stupidly bright future with fans like M.I.A, BJORK and THOM YORKE singing her praises. The opening track GLASS is on repeat in my head, and SIREN SONG is killing me. Her first single DANIEL feels like a throwback and her accompanying video with weirdo dancers dancing around her while she remains somewhat unaffected make her feel as unattainable as that artsy girl that I would want to send that mixtape to, but chicken out in doing so. Sigh. I have tickets for the concert this weekend, and hopefully it will win me cool points with the girl i’m going with.

POP KILLAH crushing on that pop since 2004.

First Spin: Megan Hamilton

MuchMore First Spin: Megan Hamilton
Genre: Pop/Folk
Release Date: April 7, 09

I always love talking about local Canadian musicians. When you look at the roster of Canadian talent out there I think we have a lot to be proud of. So you can always be sure to check out MuchMore.ca to see new Canadian artists featured here.

I was asked last week to do a feature on Megan Hamilton. I hadn’t heard of her but I decided to give it a listen. Well she might not be everyone’s cup of tea and she is not the super upbeat pop and dance music that we have going for you every morning on MuchMore but if you like melodic folk/pop and nice relaxing music to work with, or have in the background while you rummage around your house – I suggest giving this album a listen.

This is Megan’s third album with co-producer Mark Vogelsang. The first single is ‘Cat’s Tail Leg’ but my favorite song so far is definitely the ghostly first track: Throw It Down The Drain With Your Morning Coffee Grinds”.

What do you think?

Listen Now!!!
