Melbourne's Love Of Diagrams have been making their mark on the Australian music scene since 2003, with two frenetic, angular EPs, a 7" and an album on the Unstable Ape label. Now after two trips to the US and Europe, they have signed a worldwide deal with Matador. The band's sound reflects the experimentation of No Wave and the immediacy and off-kilter tunefulness of classic UK post-punk. Their stripped-down guitar-bass-drums racket and call-andresponse vocals emit a wonderfully controlled urgency. 'Mosaic', was recorded in Chicago at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio Studios with legendary producer Bob Weston (Shellac, Mission of Burma).

Composers: Sellbach; Horton.
Love of Diagrams: Luke Horton (guitars); Antonia Sellbach (bass instrument); Monika Fikerle (background vocals).
Personnel: Bob Weston (loops).
On its full-length 2007 debut for the revered Matador label, the trio Love of Diagrams offers up an assured set of angular rock. The Melbourne, Australia-based band is clearly influenced by distortion-loving acts such as Sonic Youth and Fugazi, as well as the classic U.K. post-punks that first introduced the concept of "angular" to rock's musical lexicon. The group, fronted by vocalists Antonia Sellbach and Luke Horton, excels at urgent, restless tunes that often pit Sellbach's rumbling bass lines against Horton's searing guitar riffs (see "The Pyramid"), making MOSIAC ideal for those who appreciate aggressive, off-kilter indie-rock.
On Mosaic, their second album and first for Matador, Love of Diagrams expands their muscular, post-punk-inspired sound with even tighter songwriting and performances. Unlike many 2000s bands drawing from the sounds of '70s and '80s, Love of Diagrams remains true to the spirit of that era, never feeling too studied or calculated as they use Pylon, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Real Ramona-era Throwing Muses as inspiration for their own bracing-yet-sleek sound. Two of Mosaic's strongest tracks, "The Pace and the Patience" and "Pyramid," appeared on the Love of Diagrams EP that marked the band's Matador debut, and they still set the tone for the rest of the album. Antonia Sellbach's commanding, careening bass and vocals are the heart of the band's sound, giving each song its pulse and clarion-like intensity, particularly on "Trouble" and "At 100%." However, every aspect of Love of Diagrams gets its due on Mosaic: the mostly instrumental "Interlude" and "Confrontation"'s on-a-dime tempo shifts hone in on the band's tight interplay; "Single Cable" spotlights Luke Horton's serrated guitar work (and "Form and Function" reaffirms what a good vocal sparring partner he is for Sellbach). "Ms V. Export" and "What Was I Supposed to Do?" show that Love of Diagrams can be as vulnerable as they are forceful, and achieve an awkward beauty that underscores the songs' fragile melodies and emotions. The band uncoils even more on "Double," a dreamy, reverberating ballad that offers a breather from Mosaic's highly concentrated rock. Crucially, though, highly concentrated doesn't mean monotonous; Mosaic offers creative variations on a few well-chosen themes, with focus and energy to spare. ~ Heather Phares

Forward-thinking art/prog metalheads Isis dig deeper and more densely into their musical palette with their fourth album, IN THE ABSENCE OF TRUTH.

Australian trio the Devastations debut with Coal, an album steeped in the outback-gothic vibe perfected by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. A similar set of influences is at play in the Devastations sound: the Gun Club, Bryan Ferry, Lee Hazelwood. (On a more recent tip, American Music Club and Elliott Smith are also worth mentioning, especially in lead singer Conrad Standish's strained croon; "The Night I Couldn't Stop Crying" is a particularly Mark Eitzel-like performance.)

Ritual CD  (1995) Remastered

Mosaic
CD $14.49  Audio Samples
You don't need to wait any longer! The acclaimed and, among music fans, craved for debut album of the Swedish rock band Ritual, originally released back in 1995, will be out in February 2004, distributed by InsideOut Music/SPV. This will be the first time that the debut CD entitled "Ritual" is available world-wide! The record was remastered by Hans Fredriksson at the Rommaro Studio, one of the top studios in Sweden. It's remarkable, what Fredriksson gets out of the mixing which already was very good at the time of the first release. Songs such as the great opener Wingspread or the brillant, violin influenced Typhoons Decide are rocking with a sound spectrum never known before. Even experts on this album will be surprised and will discover new musical refinements. Ritual includes: Patrik Lundstrom (vocals).
Ritual: Fredrik Lindqvist (whistle, bass guitar); Johan Nordgren, Patrik Lundström, Jon Gamble.

Do we really need another live double CD by the Allman Brothers Band? Oh yeah. In fact, when they play this well, we need them in droves. This collection marks the second time the Allman Brothers have issued music from their storied shows at the Beacon Theater in New York. The first, Peakin' at the Beacon, was issued in 2000 with Dickey Betts and Derek Trucks in the lineup. Betts had not yet been fired and Warren Haynes was yet to return to the fold. While Betts is a singular voice and is one of the pillars of the ABB's sound, this new version of the band with Trucks and Haynes ...

From cult attention to relative obscurity to appreciative rediscovery mixed with tragedy due to her untimely passing, Lizzy Mercier Descloux's career arc follows an almost classic path -- but story is one thing, results another, and if one is finding out about her for the first time, Best Off provides a great if not ultimately comprehensive one-disc starting point. Aside from three otherwise unavailable numbers, everything is drawn from her various albums and singles, and together it's a slice of pure party ...
