Breaking Artist to Watch: Liam Finn

The Article has images
2007-11-14 10:32:44 by Editor in Rolling Stone: Breaking
...melds Elliott Smith-style melodies with loosey-goosey execution and the big, airy harmonies of yacht rock. Finn plays every instrument on the album and during live shows. Triggering loops he creates via pedals, he'll riff on guitar, go nuts on theremin and pummel a drum kit for a one-man-band extravaganza. "The aesthetic is DIY, leaving the...

2007-12-27 15:57:38 by Dan in The Drop - Your Source for Music on the Edge
...melds into the next nicely my personal favorite is how 047 launches right into The Robots are Among Us mixing equal parts Flash Gordon and Ladytron. From front to back the vocals land somewhere between Willem Hartong ( Breaking Laces ) and Jimmy Tamborello ( Dntel Stand out tracks are Hurricanes, which has to be the gem of the album, leads...

SCARLET THREAD - Valheista Kaunein (2006) [rated 4/5 by ClemofNazareth]

2007-12-29 12:12:30 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...melds a neo sort of guitar riff with meandering violin parts and the heaviest bass lines on the album. This track gives the feeling of being on a mystical journey of some sort with danger lurking all about, rough terrain to traverse, and of wooden ships in a nearby harbor. Very nice I didnt really take to these guys much the first couple of...

THREE - The End Is Begun (2007) [rated 4/5 by King By-Tor]

2008-01-02 01:34:33 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...melds some songs together making two or so shorter songs seem much longer. The music itself is solid, with tight playing and a number of notably good melodies that catch the ear of just about any listener While it does hold a few strong parallels to a couple other recent bands, they still have a sound all their own that makes this alum quite...

2007-12-28 12:37:00 by Rick Saunders in Rick Saunders Breaks His Silence
 
...melds deeply with flourishes of southern hip-hop and raw early blues to make an exciting and original sound. Lenny Kravitz is gonna be cranky when he hears this album. The deep groove that Bigham owns and easily lays is what Lenny has always aspired to but never dug deep enough for. Track one tucks in the sheets with a 23rd century field...

2008-01-22 16:11:30 by bandweblogs in Band Weblogs
...melds Elbows musical ability to create epic heartfelt soundtracks with Guys knack of making the personal universal, telling the story of a boastful tower crane operator revealing the inner misery of his life in a discussion of the hollow centre of many outwardly successful lives. Elbows ability to deliver a knock out ballad is, as with...

The Article has images
2008-01-25 12:04:00 by iorel in Hefiorels eclectic music
...melds the electronic and organic divide, with enough soundscaped subtleties to draw the listener in. On "We're Out of Here," vintage jazz-organ riffs float into the mix, while on "The Great Drive By," demonic glints of wah-wah guitar seem to float out of it. Fast Asleep unfolds and drifts with all the inexplicable beauty of a dream...
