| | Louis Xiv Slick Dogs And Ponies CD Louis Xiv Discography of CDs
The sophomore effort from San Diego rockers Louis XIV proves that the taut, glam-tinged rock of THE BEST LITTLE SECRETS ARE KEPT, the band's debut, was no fluke. SLICK DOGS AND PONIES delivers more of Louis XIV's edgy, playful sound. The lead-off single "Guilt by Association," a catchy romp with dancey punch, is a perfect example.
But Louis XIV has pushed its boundaries a bit, too. With composer David Campbell providing string arrangements, SLICK DOGS has a lush, expansive sound. In combination with the band's stylish rock, the orchestral flavor gives a delicious twist to this fine follow-up, one that will have fans putting their copies on repeat.

$11.39
You know the cult of Xasthur is reaching fever pitch when even ancient demos from this increasingly revered American black metal institution are being repackaged for official release on CD, and for the second time with a bonus disc, no less! Originally recorded circa 2001, A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors marked Xasthur's seemingly inevitable transition into a one-man operation, devoid of living drummers, helmed by the incomparably misanthropic Malefic and, in many ways, it establishes the general creative template he's rarely wavered from, but simply built upon, ever since. At this juncture, Malefic's hollow roar had yet to plumb quite the fathomless depths of despair that would eventually leave him almost without equal within the extreme metal community, and his songwriting had yet to expand in scope through sheer time and experience with the form. But at its core, the tenebrous black metal immersed in murky sound and suffocating ambiance that would characterize Xasthur's most acclaimed later-day efforts can already be glimpsed here. Look and ye shall find numerous glints of dark obsidian amid the crusty volcanic bedrock, by way of haunting guitar melodies and spine-tingling keyboard figures that repeatedly surface out of the inexorably crude underlying riffs (many of them dangerously extended to the very brink of boredom, incidentally). And even though the Burzum influence looms large throughout (and yields reverent covers of "Moon Shrouded in Misery" and "Channeling the Power of Souls Into a New God"), there are also shades of Danish one-man-show Nortt sprinkled over the album's more funereal doom moments -- not to mention the legendary Bathory in the pagan mystery and Benedictine chants of "Dwelling Beneath ...

The Punch Brothers' PUNCH may well be the album on which bluegrass, after a long courtship, finally pops the question to progressive rock. Comprising an all-star band led by former Nickel Creek mandolin player Chris Thile and well-known acoustic guitarist Chris Eldridge, the Punch Brothers essay four brief, crisp pieces of traditional-style bluegrass on their debut album. The heart of PUNCH, however, is the four-movement ...
