Strange Weather by Anna Calvi and David Byrne (Keren Ann cover)
Saturn Song by Beach House
Future Husbands Past Lives by White Sea (Morgan Kibby from M83)
Carnival Ghost by Sacco (If only the rest of the album was this good)
My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit (The single, I like the orchestral production, and probably the catchiest tune from album. On 2014's Stay Gold, the opening 3-4 tracks are the strongest for me)
Feels Like We Only Go Backwards by Arctic Monkeys (Tame Impala cover)Fashion feat. Janelle Monae by Paolo Nutini (Not familiar with the artist, I'm told the record is R&B/soul/funk. The epicness of the track Iron Sky also impressed me)
Drown All Your Witches by Antemasque (Reminds me of the 70s)
Every Girl by Allah-Las (2013) (Another retro song)
Agree or disagree? Heard any of this new music yet? What are you listening to, old or new? As always, comments are welcome
Right now, my new obsession in music that I'm listening to is Rising by Rainbow. The band Ritchie Blackmore formed after he left Deep Purple in 1974-1975 (I don't remember) as this is the band's 2nd album and it featured what I think is the band's best line-up: Tony Carey on keyboards, Jimmy Bain on bass, the late, great Cozy Powell on drums, Blackmore on guitar, and on vocals, the late great, Ronnie James Dio. I recommend listening to "Stargazer". A true rock epic in every sense of the word.
ReplyDelete@thevoid99: Is enjoyable discovering albums from the past. Interesting, not familiar with that band. I will give “Stargazer” a try.
DeleteSolid list! As far is 2014 music, I've been listening to a lot of Lydia Loveless, Chromeo, Lykke Li, and Future Islands lately.
ReplyDelete@Zach Murphy: Thanks for chiming in! Love "Seasons (Waiting On You)" by Future Islands.
Delete"I Never Learn" and "No Rest For The Wicked" continue to impress me on Lykke Li’s latest. Chromeo only a couple I got into: Jealous, and Play The Fool
Ah, Pharell is still on your fave list! He's so popular these days.
ReplyDeleteI've been listening to (still) Lily Allen and the new Coldplay, which is so gloomy, so different from their previous album
@Andina: Yes, Pharrell is the man of the moment! I’m still unsure what I think of new Coldplay, I liked 2-3 tracks(" Always in My Head", " Magic" & " Midnight"), the rest of the album didn’t have a lasting impact on me.
DeleteNice collection of tracks. I've been playing that White Sea album on repeat since it was first released. Love Future Husbands Past Lives.
ReplyDelete@Alex Withrow: Thank you! Happy you are digging White Sea album, I especially enjoyed Future Husbands Past Lives. I’ll look out for your concert review of St. Lucia :)
DeleteI'm digging that Antemasque track. Can't wait to hear what else they come up with.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize The Roots had a new album out. Will have to give that a listen ASAP.
Also enjoyed that Tame Impala cover. Thanks for sharing these.
Eric @ The Warning: You’re welcome! Antemasque album is on their bandcamp site (http://nadiesound.com/album/antemasque ), if has your interest.
DeleteThe Roots LP did nothing for me, except track I shared.
Love the Arctic Monkeys cover, I was hooked from the start when he sings ”it feeeeeels like” :)
Oh cool, I guess I should have looked around more. Thanks for the tip on the album! Last I heard they had released a teaser track but nothing else.
DeleteEric @ The Warning Sign: The release info is admittedly a bit confusing. From what I gather the full Antemasque album hits July 15, and so far they have released 4 tracks to stream on nadiesound.
DeleteOh, I missed that new Beach House track. Love it! Ha, the first version I heard of Frontin' was Jamie Cullum's cover. It's a completely different extreme. :)
ReplyDelete@Josh: Yeah, the Beach House song was my favorite from that ”space” album. I haven’t listened to Cullum's version, will give it a shot.
