With chewy, rubbery guitar lines, hypnotic tattoos beating out on the drums, and repetitive vocal chants, the Seconds seem intent on marrying the most elemental energies of early punk to their hit-and-run songs. The band features Brooklyn noise-rock stalwarts Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zack Lehrhoff of Ex-Models, and Jeannie Wong of the Bodies. The trio turn their estimable talents to keeping these joyous, staggering spaz-outs bouncing along at a frenetic pace, and ringing heads with just the right amount of arty caterwaul. KRATITUDE is the Seconds' sophomore full-length, and with only two songs longer than three-and-a-half minutes, it hardly lasts as long as a whippit hit. But it's just as disorienting and fun.
The Seconds: Brian Chase, Jeannie Kwon, Zachary Max.

Purchase Kratitude CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Kratitude 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 cult pioneers like Ride ("Plans") and Slowdive ("Compliments"). Lyrically, Okerere tilts toward an endearing adolescent pessimism that, even when the music is less than mopey, gives him away as a goth at heart ("and the ravens are leaving the tower/make your peace"). However, at the end ...

| | Animal Collective Grass CD (2006) With DVD
Kratitude songs
$6.39 This three-tracks disc is essentially a CD-single for the song "Grass" by the Brooklyn-based noise-folk outfit Animal Collective, a tune featured on the group's 2005 album FEELS. The song, which careens from breezy insouciance to explosive, shout-filled mayhem, is just as thrilling here as it is on the band's full-length, but the real treasures are the disc's two b-sides.
"Must Be Treeman" and "Fickle Cycle" perfectly fuse the Collective's acid- tinged noise-collage aesthetic with their back-to-the-bush child-savant primitivism. Even better ...
| | Appleseed Cast Peregrine CD (2006) Digipak
Kratitude album
$10.09 The Appleseed Cast has a sound that you might have a hard time categorizing until you hear someone use the phrase "Midwest post-rock." Then it becomes obvious that that's exactly what they sound like, even if the term itself is really kind of baffling. You have to hear it to understand: the Appleseed Cast's sound is often noisy, ...

Kratitude songs
$11.19 Hammock makes highly atmospheric, largely instrumental music that bridges the ambient and post-rock genres. Like many ambient albums, KENOTIC is mostly concerned with textures and a sense of swirling motion, yet the instrumentation--bass, drums, guitars, and keys--is associated ...

| | Twista Day After CD (2005) Parental Advisory
Kratitude CD music
$15.65 After nearly a decade as an underground favorite for his near-impossible rapid-fire raps, Chicago MC Twista suddenly exploded on the scene with one of the biggest hits of 2004, "Slow Jamz," and its accompanying KAMIKAZE, along with gaudy appearances on many other major R&B hits. A year later, Twista returns with THE DAY AFTER, a consistently solid record that echoes the sound of its predecessor.
THE DAY AFTER's title track starts things off, as a flurry of chaos gives way to a soulfully panoramic, strikingly earnest view of a near-fatal experience. Twista follows with the extraordinarily sinister, predatory "Check That Hoe," perfectly exhibiting his hypnotically appealing slow-fast attack, rife with his head-turning lines. Twista moves beyond his high ...
| | Lonnie Donegan Showcase CD (Import) United Kingdom
Kratitude music CDs
$15.75 The first great blues album to come out of England. Donegan's debut album is absolutely first-rate acoustic folk-blues, featuring some of the songs he'd been playing for close to 10 years, including "Frankie And Johnny," and stuff he learned off of Leadbelly records like "I'm Alabammy Bound," among other folk and blues standards. The sound is raw and crisp, featuring Denny Wright's crisp lead guitar licks behind Donegan's emphatic strumming and superb vocals. He didn't have Elvis' rich baritone, but he could wail the blues better than anyone in England at the time (including ...
