A bonus disc will be packaged with the first pressing of the CD, featuring three new studio songs not found on the LP
San Diego's Pinback write good songs, sure, but it's the elaborate architecture of their music, crafted expertly in the studio, that makes their albums so infinitely listenable. AUTUMN OF THE SERAPHS, the group's fourth, pushes their already high standard even higher. From the pulsing rock of opener "From Nothing to Nowhere" through the wistful, bouncy pop of "Good to Sea" to the quiet sound networks of "How We Breathe," Pinback create thinking man's indie pop that encompasses straightforward melody and knotty, sophisticated rhythms. The whole is threaded with layers of guitars and crisp detail, making for the sort of record one can revisit again and again.
Pinback: Rob Crow (12-string guitar); Zachary Smith (baritone guitar).
Additional personnel: Mario Rubalcaba, Chris Prescott (drums); Erik Hoversten, Kris Poulin.Spin (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Their previous three albums were marvels of sublime prog pop, and there's more of the same here, with the stately piano and rarified vocal harmonies of 'How We Breathe'..."
Alternative Press (p.162) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "A driving, mid-tempo cruise launches AUTUMN with a rolling melody and a staccato chorus invoking a fascinating collision of 'Catholic Block'-style Sonic Youth and the Buzzcocks."

Autumn Of The Seraphs album
 $8.09 
Rob Crow and Armistead B. Smith IV continue to create complex indie pop with smart, subtle structures on Pinback's Offcell. Vocal tracks harmonize, electronics punctuate, guitars punch clean, key changes shift quickly, and syncopated drums all swirl in the thick instrumentation, giving Offcell many dimensions. The members of Pinback write their own material that covers different areas, including the straight-ahead pop of "Microtonic Wave," angular prog rock of "B," and guitar-driven loopy Folk Implosion sound of the title track. "Victorious D" shows off the angular post-rock smarts of Pinback. Driving bass pumps along, while ...

Vinyl LP version also available directly from the label at www.whatmusic.comDespite the prevalence of scores of great improvising musicians in Brazil in the 1960s, few chose to play jazz. Most were caught up in the national fervour that was bossa nova and with so many great new tunes being written by the new young composers, there was little room for more than a nod towards straight ahead american jazz. Every rule has its exception, of course, and instrumentalists such as Paulo Moura and Edison Machado recorded brazilian jazz - jazz that just happened to come from Brazil. Another such artist was the trumpeter Julio 'Julinho' Barbosa who was part of a group of young players who would break from the norm of playing for dancing and jam their own forms of jazz at late night bars in Rio, SĂŁo Paulo and other cities across Brazil. The fact that the public wasn't really there for this jazz left some of the musicians bitter (witness the liner notes to Paulo Moura Hepteto's 'Fibra' - also out on whatmusic.com), chastising their own countrymen without recognising that by the late 60s jazz had retreated to small niches all over the world and that pop and rock music had truly taken over. More evidence, if it were needed, is that at the end of the single day that Julio Barbosa had to record this album, he left for Europe, never to return to live in Brazil.Whatmusic.com tracked the man down and put a few questions to him.Where we you born, Julio?Nova Friburgo, which is a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro What were your first steps towards becoming a musician?I started when I was 14 years old in the school band in the city where I lived, TeresĂłpolis. After that I left to join the army so that I could be part of the military band, and quite soon after I went down to Rio to play with some of the dance orchestras that existed at that time. From your playing you seem to be very influenced by improvised music and by jazz in particular. Who were your main influences?My earliest influences were Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. I also listened to a lot of Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton and Bill Evans. In terms of Brazil, I drew inspiration from my own music and playing.When did you start leading your own group?That would have been at the end of the 50s into the early 60s. What were you seeking with your own band in terms of musical style and also in the musicians you chose to work with?The first group was called Grupo Sete de Ouros, the '7 of diamonds', and I had some great players like the pianist Chaim Levack, the bass player Vidal and ace drummer Dom Um RomĂŁo. The great sax player and bandleader CipĂł and legendary trombonist Ed Maciel, too. As well as the musicians we had singers like Wilson Simonal and Flora Purim in the group. I was looking to create a group that had something different and where we played at dances we'd play dance music for the most part but we'd always have a thirty-minute slot where we played only jazz.This album 'O ...

Autumn Of The Seraphs album
$14.69
The debut solo album by the former leader of the minor L.A. pop outfit Sugarcult, Roughs is highly indebted to the Laurel Canyon school of 1970s soft rock, full of tasty guitar licks and Andrew Gold-style piano parts. Unfortunately, the songs aren't up to the quality of the old Reprise Records heyday, either melodically or lyrically. While none of ...
| | Madison Monroe No Boundaries CD (2008)
Autumn Of The Seraphs CD music
$15.19
Singer/songwriter Madison Monroe's first solo CD, “No Boundaries,” takes listeners on a revealing musical journey through his life experiences and relationships – good, bad and in between – with no apologies for his frank discussion of the outcomes. The 11-song set is an exceptional departure from today’s stock musical styles. It is a unique album of music that has driving rhythms that will move your body and powerful lyrics that will move your mind.Monroe grew up in Port Arthur, Texas, a gritty Gulf Coast town near the Louisiana border with a reputation as a place where most boys follow their fathers to jobs in or around one of the many industrial plants that make up the city’s rugged petrochemical skyline. Monroe didn’t take that course in life. A talented artist, photographer and musician, he went against the grain and aligned himself with Port Arthur’s “other" reputation – a town that produced a long list of major international recording artists, including Janis Joplin (“Me and Bobby McGee”), Johnny Preston (“Runnin' Bear”) and Jivin’ Gene (“Breakin' Up is Hard to Do”).Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana provided Monroe with an exotic gumbo of musical influences. His father managed a local radio station, and Monroe enjoyed hanging out at the station, listening to rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country, Cajun, zydeco, jazz and swamp pop, a highly danceable musical style that originated in the area. Monroe started playing guitar and singing background vocals when he was 14 and soon was performing with a variety of local bands playing original songs.Most of his friends wanted to get day jobs that paid a lot of money, but that didn't seem so important to Monroe. The first time he saw ...
