A little bit behind on this (and everything), but if you want to hear Belle and Sebastian’s new album – Write About Love – then head on over to NPR. It’ll be streaming there until Oct. 12th. Visit NPR
I’ve loved Amiina ever since I saw them years ago with Sigur Rós. They manage to combine a brilliant, smoldering intensity with a child-like playfulness, and the results are magical and sublime. I mean, come on, you’ve got to love a band that describes their current work like this:
[T]he songs on puzzle are more rhythmically rugged than amiina’s previous work and feature heavier use of electronics. amiina’s long-standing fondness for zero-g melodies and open-minded instrumentation, however, continues.
If you’re fond of Sigur Rós, The Album Leaf, or just feeling a bit twee and autumnal… I strongly encourage you to check them out. You can hear a couple tracks off Puzzle, after the jump, and you can find out more on their website:
If you’re finding Monday just a bit too much to deal with, then here’s a few things from our friends at NPR Music that will help you out. Or, if, like me, you’re trying to dig out from moving back to America, finishing a dissertation, letting your beloved website slide, etc… well, here’s a little something to get you back in the swing of things.
Or check out Neil Young’s Le Noise, available until Oct. 5th: here.
And while you’re at it, don’t forget Deerhunter’s Halcyon Digest (avail. until Sept. 28th), and The Corin Tucker Band’s 1,000 Years (avail. until Oct. 5th).
Arcade Fire’s new video for “We Used To Wait” is out, and it’s interactive. In fact, its website bills the project as an “Interactive Film” rather than a “music video.” Whatever it is, it combines some clever HTML5, Google Street Maps, and your childhood to produce something that’s innovative, nostalgic, and fun.
You can check out the project at The Wilderness Downtown, but it only works with Chrome and Safari. Also, be prepared for it to assault you with many different windows…seriously, though, just go with it. And after that, stop by to check out this “Making of…” site.
