Black Kids came bursting out of Jacksonville, Florida, in 2007 with their debut EP, WIZARD OF AHHHS, which generated huge buzz and plenty of eager anticipation for their first full-length release, PARTIE TRAUMATIC. As on their EP (whose tracks are all included here), the band takes the Cure influences, post-punk angularity, and punk-funk grooves that were popularized a few years earlier by the likes of the Bravery and the Rapture, and adds a good-time dance-party infectiousness as well as an indie-pop bookishness all their own. It's a fresh, invigorating sound that can be achieved only by a hot young band just coming into its own.
Audio Mixer: Lexxx.Spin (p.95) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith production from ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler that maximizes both the band's playfulness and the heartbreak it conceals." Spin (p.49) - Ranked #22in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "Reggie Youngblood sighs and swoons over garage-pop melodies given a carmelized sheen by producer Bernard Butler." Alternative Press (p.162) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Singleworthy EP tunes like 'Hurricane Jane' pack serious dance-floor punch..." Q (Magazine) (p.141) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Youngblood writes terrific, instantly memorable pop songs, their fashionable new-wave cool rubbing up against an urgent, almost disco undertow." Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "PARTIE TRAUMATIC is an album big on shimmering guitars, party friendly beats and call and response choruses." Blender (Magazine) (p.84) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Youngblood's tunes are so clver...He can reference '90s rappers Positive K and '70s electronic jokesters Sparks in the same song without sounding like he's trying too hard..." URB (Magazine) (p.84) - "Despite the hype that surrounds them, Black Kids' conviction and raw talent has made a record that far outshines a majority of their blog brethren."

Purchase Partie Traumatic CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Partie Traumatic album
$10.79 On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s ...

Partie Traumatic music CDs
$8.89 As wryly noted on LCD Soundsystem's debut 2002 single, "Losing My Edge," in the underground music arms race, aging hipsters are losing ground against young upstarts who are (perhaps) unaware of their own influences. And if influences are the stuff with which post-millennial musicians are made, Murphy has trumped us all. Touching on reference points ranging from disco, krautrock, Bowie, house, and post-punk, to singer-songwriter types, SOUND OF SILVER is a veritable catalog of left-field cool. Leading off with the slow-boil, hypnotic opener, "Get Innocuous"--which sounds a bit like a reprise of "Losing My Edge" crossed ...

Partie Traumatic music CDs
$13.15 RANDY KAPLAN with BRIAN SCHEY - DURANGO"Singer-songwriter Kaplan has a husky, wispy sort of voice that curls up and sits on a nearby sofa. Remember Paul Williams' best songs?"-MOJO, UK (Durango is a Top 10 pick in the March '09 issue)Randy Kaplan's songs are a blend of American Roots, Jazz, Alternative, and Pop. He intricately finger-picks and strums his way through unpredictable live shows which, in addition to his original compositions, include Tin Pan Alley gems, Broadway numbers, and Delta Blues songs. He is as indebted to Eric Rohmer, John Ashbery, and Charles Bukowski as he is to Cole Porter, Woody Guthrie, and Dave Van Ronk.Brian Schey is an accomplished composer, arranger, and producer. He has also toured the US and Europe as a bassist with, among others, Dan Bern and Great American Taxi. Randy and Brian have worked together in many styles, from rock to jazz to musical theater. They recently collaborated on CLEAVE, a musical comedy which played at the Boulder International Fringe Festival."Kaplan is a national treasure."-THE BROOKLYN PAPERDURANGO features eleven songs co-written by Kaplan and Schey over the past two decades. There are piano-based pop songs, skewed rock anthems, Mexican surf numbers, and cabaret-influenced ballads. Mike West of Truckstop Honeymoon produced the record, deftly unifying its variety of genres. Reviews of Durango as they roll in:"Superb, comfortingly un-hurried jazz-tinged Americana / Mexicana where friendly Steve Forbert-esque vocals and Joe Ely-ish attitude sit perfectly in classic songs that the great Hoagy Carmichael would have been proud to claim as his own. The title track is a wistful lazy delight, expressing desire to up and leave for the wide open spaces - "Oh the city night's not dark, like Durango". And dear old Plonk Lane (Small Faces / Faces - God bless him) would have truly loved Marianne, its mandolin and its chopping-across-the chords guitar. Tucumcari, a muy loco, comical 300-mph US-Mexican border adventure with mariachi accordion and wide-screen movie Dick Dale / Ventures / Shadows electric guitar, leaves you begging for the next chapter. Reason to Be ...
