Saturday, January 23, 2010
Artist: Magnetic Flowers Album: What We Talk About When We Talk About What We Talk About Year: 2009 Genre: folk rock, indie folk Download: multiupload Buy: cdbaby Like Raymond Carver, whose story collection “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” is name-checked in the title, Magnetic Flowers’ strength is in its potent, poetic storytelling. And like Carver, this Columbia quintet operates in a genre–for Carver, minimalism; for Magnetic Flowers, folk-rock–that’s similarly loved, imitated, parodied, reviled and made into pastiche. But where Magnetic Flowers separates itself is in the tent revival energy with which the band attacks its sweeping, cinematic indie-folk; perhaps nowhere is this more evident than on “Books and Bad Poetry,” where guitarist Patrick Funk spins a murder ballad that might make Nick Cave jealous.

Sunday, January 17, 2010
Artist: Citay Album: Dream Get Together Year: 2010 Genre: Indie Rock / Psychedelic TrY / MySpace Though they’re often lumped in with the freak-folk movement, there is something decidedly proggier about San Francisco’s Citay than, say, Devendra Banhart. With their third album the nebulous sextet take their cosmic noodling to another level. Before coming home to roost with an excellent, elongated take on Broadcast’s [Galaxie 500] Tugboat , Dream Get Together is a trippy, riff heavy leviathan.

Sunday, January 17, 2010
Artist: Stornoway Year: 2010 Genre: Indie-Soul TrY / MySpace A five-piece folk-pop group from Oxford, made up of two sets of brothers and a fifth member unrelated to any of the others. Brainiacs, too: there’s a real doctor in there, plus a singer with a PhD in zoology, and a part-time translator (of Russian)…You can hear bits of Belle and Sebastian and Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, but we were also reminded of XTC’s more pastoral moments…Brian Briggs sings in a deliberately provincial English accent, vowels rounded to the point of being spherical.

Sunday, January 17, 2010
Artist: Soap&Skin Album: Lovetune For Vacuum Year: 2009 Label: Couch Records / PIAS Records TrY / BuY / MySpace Kids these days listen to the darndest things. So it follows that they’re in a position to make the darndest music, which is one way, perhaps, to describe what Anja Plaschg is doing with Soap&Skin, a project that’s already turned a few heads in the young singer’s native Austria. Plaschg recorded Lovetune for Vacuum, her debut album, while still a teenager, and the record is in many ways a document of what an ugly, awkward, erratic– and, occasionally, glorious and transcendent– process growing up can be…Plaschg is part of a generation of music-lovers not bound by the strictures of geography and commerce, free to gorge on sounds in limitless abundance
