Well, it seems that Shalini Chatterjee just wanted to rock on out, and after the updated power-pop textures of 2000s We Want Jelly Donuts, the second full-length from her band Shalini finds her diving head-first into the thick and fuzzy pleasures of 1970s hard rock. Metal Corner hardly goes light on the hooks -- with Mitch Easter serving triple duty as producer, engineer, and lead guitarist, you can expect your fair share of melodies -- but the prominent placement of a vintage Cheap Trick cover offers a great big clue as to the direction Shalini have taken. Along with Chatterjee's smart-gal vocals and the group's full-bodied tunes (most written by Chatterjee, though Easter also turns in a couple of worthwhile compositions), Chatterjee and Easter lay on a thick coat of Marshall-worthy guitar crunch, and thankfully, rather than bogging down the proceedings, it gives the performances a good solid backbone, and Metal Corner comes off as good fun with a solid side-portion of swagger, which a few more bands could use these days. Picks to click: the appropriately titled "Anthem," the downstroke-happy "Synthesize," and the AC/DC-esque "Out of Steam." Slap it in the car stereo and turn it up -- it's that kind of album, and trust me, that's a good thing. ~ Mark Deming

Mojo (Publisher) (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Shalini herself is a coy yet impressively sweet vocalist, a mix of the deadpan and the Spectoresque girlie. An amusing and doggedly untrendy record." Shalini Metal Corner Songs | 1. | Synthesize |

Although Vancouver's scene in the late '70s and early '80s was dominated by first-wave hardcore acts like D.O.A. and the Subhumans, the West Coast city's breakout new wave act was the altogether poppier Pointed Sticks. Although they only managed one album, 1980s Perfect Youth (itself recently reissued by Joey Keithley's Sudden Death label), the quartet released a long string of singles for the pioneering U.K. indie Stiff Records, all of which are collected here along with outtakes and rarities. Waiting for the Real Thing is an exhilarating blast of organ-fueled power pop, the perfect triangulation point between the the Flamin' Groovies' tuneful British ...
| | Good, The Bad & The Queen Good, The Bad & The Queen CD (2007)
Metal Corner songs
$9.89  
Expectations run supremely high for a group like The Good, The Bad & The Queen. In addition to being Damon Albarn's first project since the Gorillaz, the GB&Q are also quite the super group, with Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, and legendary drummer Tony Allen--the man who put the beat in Afrobeat--rounding out the line-up. Adding to this stellar cast is producer/DJ Danger Mouse, who mans the boards and twists the knobs.
The group's 2007 self-titled debut is supremely well-crafted, featuring deeply layered electronic textures that recall the Gorillaz at their most atmospheric and warp the propulsive piano and guitar lines in a playfully foreboding manner. And while Allen doesn't exactly open up the way fans of his work with Fela Kuti might hope, he expertly anchors the whole affair, gently shifting the rhythms and pacing of the tracks without disrupting Albarn's expansive, slightly noir-ish new approach to Britpop.
This project began in 2004 when Damon Albarn & Simon Tong travelled to Nigeria to record with Afrobeat pioneer Tony Allen. Much later, Albarn gave the tapes to producer Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton & his attitude changed, feeling like he would just write the songs but not sing. Danger Mouse helped gel ...

Metal Corner album

First TakeBe the first on your block to own a copy of this CD featuring the beautiful and talented vocalist, Adia Ledbetter, daughter of my favorite bass violinist. I call him Doc because of his many talents, biochemist, architect, and stellar jazz bassist; I am referring to my main man Freeman Ledbetter. I vividly recall the day we went to TGS studios in Chapel Hill to record. We were blessed to have the best musicians available. On drums we had one of the tastiest percussionist in the world ...
