| | Gossip Movement CD Gossip Discography of CDs
MOVEMENT is the second full-length album by new wave revivalist dance-punks the Gossip. Building on the strengths of their debut, these 11 songs (plus one hidden bonus track) rock harder and are even more danceable than before, with a gospel-like edge to Beth Ditto's howling vocals that put her leagues beyond the merely hectoring likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O.
The Gossip: Beth (vocals); Brace (guitar); Kathi (drums).
Spin (6/03, p.105) - "...[Ditto's] temper-tantrum vocals turn tired indie-rock poses into two-minute biblical epics..." - Grade: B+
Uncut (8/03, p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Beth Ditto's remarkable gospel holler and fervent anti-sexist agenda deserves - no, demands - to be heard by a much bigger audience..."
Magnet (6-7/03, pp.95-6) - "...This raw recording highlights the group's intensity, timing, and impeccable sense of dynamics within a fairly limited, stripped-down framework..."
CMJ (5/503, p.11) - "...The songs splash their way through frantic urgency, simmering lust and dark regret, without ever coming close to being polished or slicked-down..." Movement Review

Movement CD music
$12.69   
Joanna Newsom plays the harp, looks like an elf princess, and sings in a squeaky child-like voice, all of which contribute to her unique charm. Like her pal and frequent collaborator Devendra Banhart, she's also a shining light of the early 2000s neo-folk movement, which bonds quirky wordplay and fuzzy eccentricity with a deep reverence for authentic rural folk.
Whether accompanying herself on harp, harpsichord, or piano, Newsom plunges into the archaic depths of American roots music and cherry-picks the most heartbreaking passages, weaving everything together with lyrics of shockingly formal eloquence that present dense poetic imagery in the vein of BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME-era Dylan. Songs like "Sprout and the Bean," "Peach, Plum, Pear," and "Sadie" weave enough ...
| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Movement music CDs
$11.89 
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology.
Recording information: Hotel 2 Tango (08/2003-??/2004); Win & Regine's Apartment, Montreal, Canada (08/2003-??/2004).

$12.89
The sisters Casady set the weirdness bar awfully high on their homemade debut, LA MAISON DE MON REVE, but this inspired follow-up finds the bar ascended as the angels take it on the road, recording everywhere from barnyards to actual music studios. As usual, classically trained vocalist Sierra delivers the delirious operatic vocalizing and plays piano, dulcimer, and autoharp while Bianca coos like a 12-year old vampire Billie Holiday and makes percussive noise from computers and shakers with equal abandon.
