...echoey hallway; her guitar, meanwhile, vibrates with an unearthly, harp-like throb. Lyrical substance is difficult to decipher but odd prominent phrases emerge at the outset--"jezebel crown," "reliquary eyes." And yet somehow, quickly, the song gathers a deep, resonant beauty, like something unearthed from an ancient time with only a few...

Free and legal MP3s from the Catalysts, Soltero, and Langhorne Slim, via Fingertips

2008-05-19 23:58:00 by Jeremy in Fingertips
 
...echoey, drop-like percussion accents, with some mysterious tinkly sounds thrown in for good measure. And it's not just the sounds themselves that create the space, it's the fact that these sounds are dropped behind the tidy pulse of an acoustic guitar. Note too how the reverb that Tim Howard uses on his voice feels somehow crisper than the...

CMJ: Wednesday [Marc Hogan]

2008-10-23 13:30:00 by Marc Hogan in Pitchfork: News
 
...echoey new single wracked with a long-distance lover's doubts. Finale "Gila"-- introduced as "an old song," or at least old as in "six months ago"-- showed once again that yes, there are hooks amid all those echoey atmospheres. And pleasant dreams

...echoey choir vocals. In the end though, I found "Person Pitch" to be lacking a heartfelt center, and after hearing Phosphorescent it seemed only more empty. But they're both Brooklyn-ers so hooray for my burro 18. George Harrison - All Things Must Pass Another album that everyone else probably digested a long time ago. But if you haven't,...

2007-12-21 01:31:00 by The Pop Cop in The Pop Cop - on the beat of the Scottish indie music scene.
...echoey vocals lift it to heights of greatness BLOC PARTY - I Still Remember - Utterly impeccable feelgood anthem that is as catchy as the plague DAVID GRAY - You're The World To Me - Soppy man love, but in a good way. Quite possibly his best effort in eight years FEIST - I Feel It All - The queen of the underground couldn't stay a secret for...

...echoey strings, atmospheric percussion, a grand, chugging rhythm and, later on, a honking sax solo. Anna Persson, once a casual, somewhat deadpan vocalist--singing in short, talky phrases, and sounding as if she could not sing and smile at the same time--here emerges with a richer tone, partly because of the production but partly also because...

...echoey punctuations in the background, and then, steadiest and wistful-iest of all, there's Justin Vernon--doing musical business as Bon Iver--with his mournful yet adamant falsetto telling some difficult to pin down tale of past love gone (probably) wrong. It's a song at once engaging and elusive: search past the meaty chorus and nicely...

...echoey line of four descending notes from a different guitar finished off with that comic book-y flanging. The net effect is simultaneously solid and odd. Then comes the kind of kooky melody, a long downward trip of doubled notes, sung with unhurried flair by SLGTM multi-instrumentalist and mastermind Fred Thomas. And how much like Ray Davies...

...echoey. And if that's not enough, singer/keyboardist Erin Fein manages to be at once airy and substantive, both forthright and mysterious Or maybe I just can't make up my mind today I do know that I'm enjoying this one without reservation, from the shadowy opening heart-throb pulse through the sped-up Motown rhythm and maybe most especially...
