Frames Roads Outgrown CD (2003)

For The Birds album

$8.85

An odds-and-ends collection of rare B-sides, recasts of older tracks, and one live number, The Roads Outgrown also serves as a good brief introduction to the latter period of a band that has undergone significant stylistic change over the course of its existence. "Lay Me Down," the opening song, is the keeper of the bunch, with its bottoming-out bass drum rumbling underneath a hopelessly forlorn violin. There's also a worthy cover of Will Oldham's "New Partner" and a soaring live version of "Fitzcarraldo," one of the band's best songs. ~ Jason Nickey A collection of odds and sods from one of Dublin's most popular bands of the last ten years. Features b-sides and various material from the last two years on one disc, such as reworked versions ...

Frames Set List CD (2004)

For The Birds CD music

$10.19

Set List is the first Frames' release under the Irish roustabouts' domestic distribution deal with Anti, in preparation for a proper studio full-length. It makes sense, the live album release -- the Frames have always made their name on-stage, and Set List will disappoint neither the ardent fan nor curious newcomer. Glen Hansard is a frontman of the beaded, bloody sweat variety, and his mates never get tired of amping the emotion with heart tingling wails of guitar and shrill fiddle. The crowd never tires of it, either -- they shout along with the righteous rock release of "Revelate," hesitate in hushed anticipation for the nearly nine-minute novella "Santa Maria," and coo like contented schoolchildren during the subtle rushes of "Lay Me Down." Hansard proves to be a storyteller of the classic Irish variety, all unassuming humor and prescient asides. His lengthy intro to "What Happens When the Heart Just Stops" (from 2001's For the Birds) is roundabout hilarious, and he lets it fade perfectly into some scattered opening chords before building the song to an absolutely elegiac moment of release. The rambling, deadpan folk-pop of ...

Frames Burn The Maps CD (2005)

For The Birds music CDs

$11.35

One of Ireland's most accomplished musical exports, the Frames built a fan base at home and abroad with tireless touring and passionate albums such as 1996's FITZCARRALDO and 2001's FOR THE BIRDS. BURN THE MAPS, the Frames' 2005 debut for the Anti label, is arguably their most focused and polished effort to date. The band's simmering intensity, folk-rock leanings, and sometimes explosive, dynamic rock (which can rival Radiohead and U2 in its epic sweep) are brought to the perfect synthesis here. The focus of the group is vocalist Glen Hansard, whose approach ranges from a breathy whisper to a falsetto coo to a full-blown wrenching wail. Violinist Colm ...

Eels Blinking Lights And Other Revelations CDs (2005) Digipak

For The Birds songs

$11.05

Since 1996's BEAUTIFUL FREAK, Mark Oliver Everett used his band, Eels, as a mouthpiece for his inspirationally morose worldview. Recorded over a period of seven years in Everett's basement, the 33 tracks of 2005's BLINKING LIGHTS AND OTHER REVELATIONS see the singer/songwriter backing off from the rockier sounds of 2003's SHOOTENANNY! to meditate on the significance of family, aging, and death. The results are often breathtaking, a warm blanket of a song cycle whose tracks are the more mature, resolute descendents of the tunes on 1998's ELECTRO-SHOCK BLUES. While the majority of this material features a full band, many of the most triumphant and ...

Frames Cost CD (2007) Digipak

For The Birds album

$13.59

This follow-up to the Frames' acclaimed 2004 Anti- debut, BURN THE MAPS, finds the acclaimed Irish rock band working in the same widescreen scope as on that album, with songs ebbing and flowing with crashing waves of guitar lines and the fascinatingly emotive vocals of frontman Glen Hansard. Many of the tunes on THE COST unwind slowly, particularly the mesmerizing opener, "Song for Someone." There ...
