The Victory label is not generally known for power pop -- old-school hardcore is more its usual style. But at the recommendation of label mainstays Taking Back Sunday, Victory signed this young pop quartet and released what turned out to be one of the most exciting debut albums of 2002. Combining big, distorted guitars with Moog synthesizer, thickly layered harmonies, and insanely catchy melodies, Kill Your Television harks back to the sounds of the new wave 1970s while also drawing on the sonic power of late-'90s pop-punk. With an average track length of just over two and a half minutes, this album is, above all, a piece of disciplined pop art; these guys are not ashamed to sing love songs and are not above putting on a fake British accent every so often, and the melodies are so consistently solid that the occasional affectation is easily forgiven. In fact, it's almost impossible to single out any particular tracks as highlights -- from "Television" at the beginning to "Dedication" at the end, every one of them features punchy, economical verses and hook-laden choruses that will stick in your head for days. Those that stand out do so mainly by virtue of unusual lyrics (lines like "Feel as nervous as a Christian Scientist" or "I'm sick and tired of this alligator love trap," for instance). Very highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson

$10.85
On Darkest Hour's third album, Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation, it should come as no surprise that the lyrics are as vitriolic as the vocal timbre, decrying and describing a society where guns, violence, and malevolent media rule. The band rolls through twisted grindcore progressions in the background with reasonable aplomb. The album unexpectedly concludes with an uncharacteristic instrumental, "Veritas, ...

AMANTESWritten by the Australian composer, Trevor Hart, Amantes is a series of 4 interconnected jazz suites on the stages of loving. It was inspired by the words of Mary Woolstonecraft. "Life without love is a desert". This large work has been described by critics as a 'evocative', 'filmic', " a deep musical and emotional experience'. Each piece is like a painting in an exhibition whose grand theme is the folly of human emotions.The 4 suites are: 1. The Desert 2. Love Poems 3 Discordancia and 4. Songs of Experience. "I believe this is a universal human experience. I wanted to use the vast expanse of the Australian desert as a metaphor for life without love", says Trevor. In Amantes, Jazz is used as a language, a reference point from which the musicians could improvise.Recorded in an oak lined village hall and an old abandoned museum, Amantes was performed by a cast of stellar musicians: Trevor Hart on trumpet, James Ryan on saxes, virtuoso John Rodgers on violin and piano, Andrew Shaw on Double bass and drum maestro Grant Collins. TREVOR HARTTrevor is an Australian contemporary composer, trumpet player, and bandleader of the renowned Trevor Hart Quartet, the Trevor Hart Pocket Orchestra and Black Cat Circle. As a composer, Trevor is a creatively original auteur, who presents innovative ...
| | Taniq The Life & Times Of Love CD (2008)
Kill Your Television
$11.39
Miko & Carolyn are Taniq, a husband and wife Soul Hip-Hop couple that sings, writes, and produces their material. Music Connection Magazine writes, “Miko & Carolyn are creating some smooth, fetching sounds that at times echoes classic Philly Soul as well as new-school Jill Scott, Fugees. The singers have a blend that harmonizes well- sweet, easy and soulful.” Taniq was formed in Chicago in the winter of 2000. Originally a 6-piece band, Miko and Carolyn developed a strong musical partnership and friendship spanning 3 years. During their 2004 recording session of the self-entitled EP, unforeseen sparks flew between the two. They kept their courtship a secret from the rest of the band for over a year. They finally revealed their love a week before moving to Los Angeles. “The Soul Couple” is familiar with comparisons to music’s most recognized couples. Fans have called them the next Ashford & Simpson, a soulful Sonny & Cher, and even the sober Bobby & Whitney. When asked what sets Taniq apart, Carolyn responds, “While our sound is deeply rooted in Soul and Hip-Hop, our music features Jazzy melodies, Funk-inspired horn arrangements, and Gospelesque call-and-response. It helps us attract people that may not normally find themselves in the same room.” The Life & Times of Love was recorded in Chicago and Los Angeles and features 17 musicians as well as a choir. The newlyweds are still honeymooning, but this album offers more than just bedroom music. Miko comments, “Romantic love is only a facet of our lives together. Life and love are not one-dimensional and we wanted our experiences with friends, family, and God to be reflected on this album.” The lead single, “Breakin’ the Rules” has generated much buzz and was featured on ABC Family’s Lincoln Heights. It’s a sexy, Jazz-influenced song that tells of giving in to temptation. The second single, “Cupid ...
