The Sea And Cake - Car Alarm (Thrill Jockey)

Despite Car Alarm being the eighth album from Sea And Cake, and despite my love of many bands who share members and locale, I have never reviewed an album of theirs on this site. I guess this is as good of any place to start, as it's one of their most solid releases in some time (although, to be fair the group has never really stumbled in a major way). Although the group has been together for fifteen years now, albums have usually arrived at a more drawn-out pace, but for this twelve-song, forty-minute release they went straight into the studio right on the heels of a long tour in order to try to capture the energy and spontaneity properly.




ea

Murcof - The Versailles Sessions (Leaf)

Over the course of his past couple releases, Fernando Corona has morphed from a strings and beats style electronic musician (Remembranza) into a sound sculptor that has pushed inot a territory that toes the line between doom, drone, and ambient music (Cosmos). Of course, my explanations above are somewhat watered-down, and Corona has always shown himself to be a bit outside what other contemporary musicians are doing while at the same time showing a real willingness to redraw his own boundaries. That progression continues with The Versailles Sessions, and while it isn't being labeled as his true follow-up album to Cosmos, it nonetheless finds him creating something completely unique.




ea

Fennesz - Black Sea (Touch)

To say that a new album from Christian Fennesz is highly anticipated is probably a bit of an understatement. Since his first releases, his name has become almost synonymous with elegant microscopic sound, and his work has been referenced both as an influence for a huge number of artists and as a comparison as well. Of course, since he started releasing music, the market has flooded with musicians creating similar work, and the advances of certain software have made it easier to simulate (or copy, as it were) his once rather unique work.




ea

Max Tundra - Parallax Error Beheads You (Domino)

If you're wondering why it's taken Max Tundra (aka Londoner Ben Jacobs) almost six years to release his third album (a full six years after his sophomore Mastered By Guy At The Exchange), a simply look at his hardware setup might explain things a bit. Instead of using a modern PC or sampler or any of that, he creates his work on a rather antiquated Commodore Amiga 500. Using tracking software that cost a dollar and cobbling everything together in painstaking ways (including, but not limited to, recording drum sounds onto mono cassette recorders twice, then using each of these for the two sides of a stereo mix), the physical act of recording music alone is a serious labor of love for Jacobs.




ea

Studio - Yearbook 2 (Information)

Although it's technically not the true follow-up to their debut full-length Yearbook 1, this collection of remixes and complete reworkings are drastically different enough from their originals that it's still probably fair to call it an album by Studio. Over the course of seven tracks they tackle everyone from the lesser-known proggy disco-pop types A Mountain Of One to mega-pop superstar Kylie, recasting everything in their mellow, expansive, and lush ways.
