Liner Note Author: Gary Lightbody.
Snow Patrol's pop anthems don't lend themselves well to late-night clubbing, but the band's installment of LATENIGHTTALES is surprisingly moody, stylish, and fairly danceable. Produced by front man Gary Lightbody and keyboardist Tom Simpson, the disc weaves a narrative out of 19 tracks, finding the links that exist between Captain Beefheart, A Tribe Called Quest, and Allen Toussaint. The songs slyly bleed into one another--a result of the band's DJ capabilities--and the liner notes help shed some light on the band's selections. This being a LATENIGHTTALES release, there's an overarching emphasis on nocturnal ambiance, and the album's biggest strength is its ability to sustain that mood over the course of 60 minutes. A close second, however, is Snow Patrol's own contribution, an electro-acoustic cover of INXS' "New Sensation" that tones down the band's epic tendencies for something intimate.

After the expansive darkness of La Foręt, Xiu Xiu return with The Air Force, a set of songs that manages to be just as challenging as La Foręt, but sparer and somehow more eclectic-sounding at the same time. This time around, Jamie Stewart and company's explorations of vulnerability and ugliness-beauty are even more vivid; as usual, Stewart's breathtakingly concise, poetic lyrics are front and center. He captures longing and self-loathing on "Buzz Saw," singing "Your acne is like pearl/I swear mine is like brimstone." On the closing track, "Wig Master," he whispers, "Loneliness isn't being alone/It's ...

While Junior Boys' debut indie sleeper LAST EXIT leaned more toward pastiche--a product of influences as far afield as 2-step garage and Timbaland's stutter-funk--their sophomore effort, SO THIS IS GOODBYE, is a step toward pop song form (albeit of the slowly unfurling, epic variety). Junior Boys recast the notion of northern soul in terms of blue-eyed crooners born of icy Canadian winters, as opposed to the inner-city blues of the American rustbelt. Jeremy Greenspan's weightlessly gorgeous voice contrasts with the music's frigid, prickly synth arpeggiation--extending like icicles from aerated frozen tundra. Steeped in elegant melodies and artful textures, Junior Boys remodel new romantic pop as etherealized neo-soul.
So This Is Goodbye involves no input and no apparent residual fingerprints from original member Johnny Dark. On their second album, Jeremy ...
| | Album Leaf Into The Blue Again CD (2006) Digipak
Late Night Tales
$11.39
On his second outing for the Sub Pop label, INTO THE BLUE AGAIN, Jimmy LaValle, the multi-instrumentalist mastermind behind the Album Leaf, unveils another set of inventive, ambient-leaning indie-pop. This 2006 album is more confident and melodic than its predecessor (IN A SAFE PLACE), and pulls listeners in with dreamy, engaging electro-tinged tracks such as the chiming, beat-driven "Always for You" and the delicately drifting "Red-Eye."
From the beginning, Jimmy LaValle's Album Leaf project was one of the calmest acts in indie rock. Into the Blue Again proves, as its 2004 predecessor did as well, that the Album Leaf is also becoming one of the tamest acts in indie rock. LaValle is a musical craftsman, ...
