Q (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "DIP is a placid paean to all things rustic, starting out amid seagulls, choral vocals and strings." Mojo (Publisher) (p.103) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "A wonderfully warm wash of sounds made from home recordings and electronics, live horns, strings and keys, this flows on luscious, mesmeric currents."

| | Black Heart Procession Spell CD (2006) Digipak
Dip
$12.95 THE SPELL, the seventh release from San Diego's the Black Heart Procession, combines the band's early minimalist tendencies with the rock richness of 2002's AMORE DEL TROPICO. The Procession still wade in dark, melancholic waters, offering up Gothic Americana soundscapes of bleak introspection, but on the aptly named THE SPELL they add inspired songcraft, rock guitars, and pointed lyrical themes--political and otherwise--to their trademark atmospherics. The blend of ...
| | National Boxer CD (2007)
Dip
$9.89 And while his presence isn't immediately apparent, indie hero Sufjan Stevens contributes piano to two tracks ("Racing Like a Pro" and "Ada"), adding to the National's increasingly expansive aesthetic, which also incorporates strings and horns. Though BOXER is more subdued than ALLIGATOR, it will likely appeal to those won over by the earlier outing.
On 2007's BOXER, the National's second full-length album for the venerable Beggars Banquet label, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock act follows up the lauded ALLIGATOR with another round of melancholy guitar-driven tunes. Led by deep-voiced vocalist Matt Berninger, who often sounds hung-over yet disarmingly articulate, the band excels at brooding mid-tempo songs, as exemplified by the world-weary "Fake Empire," which combines political ...
| | Angels Of Light We Are Him CD (2007)
Dip
$12.79 WE ARE HIM, the fifth long-player from Angels of Light, is wholly uncategorizable, and features Gira chasing far-flung muses from Beefheart stomps ("My Brother's Man") to dirgy semi-ragas ("Promise of Water"), to almost traditional pop ("Good Bye Mary Lou.") The constants throughout are delicate arrangements, odd structures, and Gira's mesmerizingly laconic baritone. There are familiar touchstones here--synth-era Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave's solo work to name two--but Gira is an original and WE ARE HIM is weird American noir that sounds like nothing else on earth.
Michael Gira continued to atone for years of fronting the loudest band ever, the Swans, with both his second band, Angels of Light, and his label, Young God Records, which gave the world the likes of Devendra Barnhart and Akron/Family. Both of these endeavors bolstered his belief that music need not split ears to be adventurous, challenging, and beautiful.

| | Holy Fuck! CD (2007)
Dip
$12.25 Toronto-based electro noise squad Holy Fuck specialize in the kind of unholy racket worthy of their expletive-brandishing moniker. Finely honing their live electronics-aided lo-fi "motorik" for their second album, LP, the band wields overdriven Casiotones against steady-state beats set for oblivion. Upon an insistent, groove-heavy pulse that recalls the hypnotic propulsion of Krautrock outfits like Neu! and Harmonia, HF grafts blistering shards of distorted synth bleat and fractal-chaos effects, creating the kind of psych-noise mayhem that's atypical in the techno-rock fraternity. While tracks like the high-octane opener "Super Inuit" hazard a course midway between ...
| | Air Moon Safari CD (1998)
Dip
$12.55 Principally recorded at Around The Golf studio and Gang Studio, Paris, France.
Their trans-Atlantic notoriety may have come amidst compilations of French house and electronic scenes, but Nicolas Godin and JB Dunckel are not just another pair of Gallic beat-miners. Like DJs and studio wizards, the duo known as Air does construct their records pastiche-style; but instead of unleashing dancefloor-friendly "tracks", they come up with mellow abstractions for retro-minded chill-out rooms, flaunting their analog instrumentation and love for make-out melodies every step of the way.
MOON SAFARI, Air's full-length debut, is like a fuzzy, blissful daydream in which a glowing ambiance pervades over a crossroads of '60s French pop, '70s Philly soul and '80s Eurodisco. Rarely does the tempo reach mid, and when it does ("Kelly Watch The Stars" and "Le Voyage de Penelope"), it's on the strength of funky synth-pop grooves. Overall, their sounds are rarely less than kaleidoscopic, enveloping the listener in happy, high-IQ muzak. If it sounds somewhat disposable, it's because all good pop should. It is the fact that one can't leave Air's aural confections behind that makes MOON SAFARI great.
Additional personnel includes: David Whitaker (conductor); Enfants Square Burcq (vocals); Beth Hirsch (spoken vocals); P. Woodcock (acoustic guitar, tuba); Eric Regert (organ); Marlon (drums); Stephane "Alf" Briat, Caroline L. (hand claps).
