Although two exceptional EPs came out between The Troubled Sleep of Piano Magic and Disaffected, an entire year passed -- for the first time since Piano Magic's inception -- without an album-length release. (Piano Magic say this is their sixth proper album, meaning they're probably not counting the Son de Mar score and the two-song A Trick of the Sea.) Glen Johnson's group returns as inspired as ever, turning in a work that matches and occasionally exceeds Low Birth Weight and Artists' Rifles. Some of their other albums have suffered from mild to acute stray-idea syndrome, but they've found a way here to bundle up a number of disparate approaches while keeping it all focused and linear. The most striking songs on the album are "Disaffected" and "Deleted Scenes," where the usual (some might say redundant) round of Factory and 4AD inspirations shifts to the likes of Section 25 ("Looking for a Hilltop") and Abecedarians ("Smiling Monarchs"), with moody electro-pop translating to the dancefloor as easily as the bedroom. The synths remain in the background during the opening trio of Johnson-led guitar-dominated songs, all of which are taut and remarkably dynamic, practically busy by the group's subdued standard. The Czars' John Grant, who guested on lone Writers Without Homes ...
| | Sufjan Stevens Illinois CD (2005)
Les Terribles music CDs
$12.09  
The second entry from sui generis singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens in his absurdly ambitious project to make a record for every state in America outdistances even 2003's superb GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN in scope and beauty. A sweeping paean to the Lincoln state, ILLINOIS weaves together history, personal confession, and detail-filled scenarios with chamber folk, expansive orchestral pop, and back-porch pastoral settings for a stunningly progressive indie gem that sound like Brian Wilson, Stereolab, and Neil Young holding hands in heaven.
Remarkably, in its intricate, gorgeously crafted surfaces, ILLINOIS lives up to its aims. In addition to its symphonic grandeur, the album also showcases Stevens's heartland folk, and some of the album's most shimmering moments are its most spare. "John Wayne Gacy, Jr.," for instance, is an absorbing narrative that features Stevens's sweet tenor couched by guitar, piano, and backing vocals. "Casimir Pulaski Day," similarly, rides a rootsy banjo and ...

$14.69 
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 ...

$11.39
Steeped in the principles of hardcore, but an arm's reach away from mainstream success, Springfield, Illinois' Park sounds like the future of modern rock on their stellar second album, It Won't Snow Where You're Going. Fronted by singer/guitarist Ladd Mitchell, the group's skillfully crafted and dramatically executed music falls midway between Thursday's thrust and Incubus' hardened melodies. Songs like "Gasoline Kisses for Everyone," and "Day One and Counting" are cathartic and innovative, as Mitchell and guitarist Justin Valenti build a roar that shimmers as often as it splinters. On "Which Wrist First," glistening, Chameleons-like guitar ...

Les Terribles music CDs
$19.75
There's a demented pop fanaticism to Weezer you gotta love. Weezer's debut, produced by former Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, combines Pixies roller-coaster guitar rides with a helping of Beatle-esque moptop harmonies. Ocasek's production and Weezer's strong material will bring a glimmer of recognition to the eyes of anyone who remembers the Cars' melodic pop hooks.
Weezer's songs are groovy garage sales you wish happened every weekend. Songs like "The World Turned And Left Me Here" and "Surf Wax America" betray the heart of a kid who would rather skateboard to work every day than face up to the responsibility of buying a car.
Rivers Cuomo's wit and songwriting chops are evident in "In The Garage," where he sums up his generation's fascination with kitsch pop culture. Cuomo readily makes fun of Kiss posters and his own "stupid words" and "stupid songs," but later, in "Say It Ain't So," his self-mocking seems more like self-protection. After a decade of divorced parents, Cuomo comes to terms with a childhood he didn't want to give up. "Dear Daddy I write you in spite of years ...

Les Terribles CD music
$9.49
This is the 2007 release by the legendary and reclusive band Schnitzel. The Richmond VA band is infamous for constant line-up changes, often hiring back members who have quit and rejoined several times in the past. But the pain and anguish of the perpetual renewal has forged perhaps Western Civilization's last greatest achievement.What the critics have said: Louis Untermeyer: "The accent of 'Cold Harbor' is grave, sometimes sadly nostalgic, but it is by no means lugubrious. The music as well as the meaning is solemn, and it will not be to everyone's taste."T.S. Eliot: "One cannot destroy Pascal, certainly; but of all the bands Schnitzel is one of the least destructible. ...
