| | Au Revoir Simone Bird Of Music CD Au Revoir Simone Discography of CDs
The Brooklyn trio follows up its impressive debut EP with this full-length album of gentle three-keyboard sonic massage. The cheesy drum machine and breezy vocals create a wistful atmosphere that support delicate, sweetly droning melodies, but the music is more complex than first meets the ear. "Sad Song" juxtaposes a percolating Casio beat and breathy singing with a somber, minor-key riff that makes sadness seem downright pretty. "Fallen Snow" is a jaunty number that rocks harder than the typical song here, but also features the most baby-doll-like vocal of the album and a mesmerizingly off-kilter bridge. By playing with expectations this way, Au Revoir Simone makes their deceptively simple formula compelling.
2007 sophomore album from this Brooklyn-based female, who creating dreamy keyboard-driven Pop layered with beautiful harmonies surrounding simple and catchy melodies. 11 tracks including the single 'Fallen Snow'. Moshi Moshi.

Bird Of Music album
$14.38 
Glitter and Doom Live, a double-disc set, marks Tom Waits' third live effort in his nearly 40-year career, each one summing up his career to the point of its release. The first, Nighthawks at the Diner issued in 1975 on Asylum, is regarded by many as one of the greatest live albums of all time. The second was Big Time, released during his tenure at Island in 1986. The musical performances on disc one of Glitter and Doom Live were culled from Waits' historic sold-out tour of the U.S. and Europe. He compiled and sequenced the set himself, intending to make them sound like a single show. The ...

It's no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it's only logical that his holiday album -- his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters -- is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. It is music made by someone who ...

Sometimes, the best way to jumpstart songwriting creativity is playing someone else's song. That wasn't necessarily the plan when DulceSky set out to cover the mighty Ride in early 2007, but it ended up being the result. Long Ride fans, Oliver Valenzuela (Vocals, Guitar), Mitchell Razon (Drums), and Daniel Valenzuela (Bass), jumped at the chance to cover "Unfamiliar," a Nowhere-era b-side, for a Ride ...

Bird Of Music CD music
$12.79 
Usually, when two acts team up to experiment on collaborative albums, the effort results in a release where one side of the equation is dominant; the recording may be excellent, but it's not quite what the participants planned. Hydra Head has been on the pulse of all things post-rock, and this collaboration, between Aidan Baker, Leah Buckareff's Nadja, and Denton, TX, quintet Pyramids is as pure a collaborative effort as is humanly possible. The end result feels like an entirely new band, even as each act's signature elements are present in these four long cuts. With the disc clocking in at just under an hour, the shortest of these tracks ...
