| | Zincs Black Pompadour CD Zincs Discography of CDs
Though a Chicago resident, the Zincs' frontman Jim Elkington hails from England. And his band's sound on its debut, DIMMER, fits nicely between Morrissey and Belle and Sebastian on the Anglo-meter. Yet somehow the Zincs were able to dust off ... Full Descriptionthe proceedings with the slightest hints of stark Chicago alt-country. BLACK POMPADOUR, the band's third collection, contains Elkington's trademark acerbic lyrics hitched to bright melodies, but ups the ante and toughens the sound with confident electric guitar and organ interplay. Indie chanteuse Edith Frost guests on a few tracks.
The Zincs: James Elkington (vocals, guitar); Nathaniel Braddock (guitar, piano); Nick Macri (saxophone, bass guitar); Jason Toth (drums, percussion).
Recording information: 2006.
No Depression (p.114) - "[With] a stylistic range from hollow-eyed Buddy Holly references to gothic Henry Mancini takes and a sort of mash-up between Pavement and Pat Metheney, all in a good way." Hide Description Zincs Black Pompadour Songs Black Pompadour Review

| | National Boxer CD (2007)
Black Pompadour songs
$10.15 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, ...
| | Holy Fuck! CD (2007)
Black Pompadour album
$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 ...
| | Beach House Devotion CD (2008)
Black Pompadour CD music
$11.99 Beach House is the musical duo of instrumentalist Alex Scally and vocalist/keyboardist Victoria Legrand. And as their namesake suggests, their music resonates with the kind of languid radiance of a spiritual retreat from the modern world. Building their signature sound from a few spare elements, lo-fi organs, harpsichords, and vintage drum machines, the pair crafts an exquisitely detailed atmosphere from minimal instrumentation. Legrand's hypnotic croon sits pleasingly against Scally's twanging pedal steel lines, suggesting a country-tinged ...

$13.25 | | Suzanne Vega Nine Objects Of Desire CD (1996)
Black Pompadour music CDs
$9.79 Vega's second collaboration with husband/producer/keyboardist Mitchell Froom expands the sonic palette introduced on 99.9 F to create an atmosphere that is both more open and more distinctive. Froom's ubiquitous synthesizers and samples step aside on several songs to make way for tastefully orchestrated horns and strings. The semi-industrial pop of 99.9 F gives way to a more eclectic compositional bent. "Caramel" is a smooth, jazzy ballad that bears a strange kinship to an Astrud Gilberto bossa nova. "Lolita" boasts a lilting samba feel mediated by electronic percussion.
This being a Suzanne Vega album, there are also a few introspective acoustic-guitar based plaints. In fact, these (particularly the subtle, eerie narrative "Honeymoon Suite") are among the most memorable of NINE OBJECTS' 13 songs. Elsewhere, colorful, lighthearted arrangements offset dark subject matter, as on "Thin Man" and "Tombstone," both contemplations of mortality. ...
