| 肥猫肥猫～～在我的耳朵里销声匿迹了非常非常久(自我感觉)的老厂，刚上他们主页查询方才发觉其实前不久自己才刚听了他们为Múm所发行的Peel Session。久未关注，今日看到他们官网上之内容丰富，新专频频，也不禁为他们祝福，希望今后亦能一路好走。 想到来听这张专集，也是因为看到发行方为Fat Cat，不论如何，这个久负盛名的冰岛厂牌在诸多indie迷心目中的重量相信本人自毋庸多言，如Animal Collective, Black Dice, David Grubbs, Him, Max Ritchter, Múm, Mice Parade, Sigur Rós, Sylvain Chauveau, The Dylan Group……等诸多名号，哪一个提出来又不是掷地有声？ 今日的David Karsten Daniels，于我是新人中的新人，尽管在之前其人早已在音乐艺术领域内摸爬滚打多年。来自美国北卡罗莱纳州，音乐经历丰富：童年的唱诗班，高中的爵士乐手，大学时所接受的关于创作、理论、自由即兴以及行为艺术的教育……博采众家之长？算是吧。 Sharp Teeth是目前其可传播范围最广的一张唱片，这张唱片将最迟于今年2月20日在英联邦、欧洲、美国、加拿大及世界其他国家唱片店内被摆上货架并被打上"New Arrival"的标签，这一切当然得益于世界级知名厂牌的发行支持，这也使得这位在之前曾发行过9张唱片依然默默无闻的乐手得以在此刻震动在我这来自遥远东方100%made in China的耳鼓。 颤抖而脆弱的嗓音、颓败而朴素的美感不禁让人联想起Thom York、Elliot Smith，甚至Nick Drake。不循规蹈矩的实验性，这与民谣本身的草根和自由很贴。据说是按着南部传统路子走的美国现代民歌，往往如死一般的缓慢，一如南方的生活，受到来自宗教的折磨，却永远不能在自己的圣经内找到答案。关于南部的音乐，这里同样存在着来自纳什维尔的滑棒吉他以及迪西兰(Dixieland)的爵士精魂。情绪、灵性与表现手法的形神合一，新一年让我听high的第一张唱片。另外封套也挺赞的，这也是我一开始选择尝试它的原因之一。 |

Woke Myself Up CD / LP (JAG091, released: 01/23/07)
We all are driven to doing certain things and making certain decisions in our lives for any number of reasons, be it ambition, fear, greed or love. The last purpose is perhaps the most identifiable to most of us, and so it is no great mystery that that which drives us can both reward us immensely and plummet us into the greatest depths of inconsolable sadness and regret. On Julie Doiron\'s first album of new material in over two years, she addresses in her signature intimate songwriting style both the heights and the fallout in a way that forces the listener to reexamine their own loves.
One of the most important and greatest loves in Julie\'s life is that towards her family. The first half of Woke Myself Up details the joy and awe that her family has given her. Immediately, one knows that her unabashed and unaffected lyrics are coming from a woman truly moved. The second half sees Julie making mistakes, blowing second chances, and coming to terms with the sad truth that one cannot live up to expectations set by herself or those she loves. The harrowing untitled final track (recorded and added to the album at the eleventh hour by Doiron) may very well be the most affecting of Doiron\'s performances ever committed to tape.
Also important to the recording of this album was a reunion of sorts with her musical family. Founding Eric\'s Trip bandmate Rick White produced and played on the entire album, and a handful of the songs contain the entire original Eric\'s Trip band nucleus that took the Canadian indie underground by storm 15 years ago. Working with an old friend and collaborator like White was key to this album\'s intensely vulnerable and emotionally raw tone. What\'s captured is timeless and universal, in the same way as Cat Power\'s Moon Pix, Leonard Cohen\'s Songs of Love And Hate, and Joni Mitchell\'s Blue.
Julie Doiron began her career in music in 1990 at the age of 18 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada playing bass in Eric\'s Trip, a folky yet psychedelic band that were to become the undisputed underground darlings of Canadian music. Eric\'s Trip were the first of many maritime Canadians signed to Sub Pop and found international recognition, releasing several albums and touring widely. Following 1996\'s Purple Blue, Eric\'s Trip announced their breakup and Julie Doiron embarked on her solo career, first releasing songs as "Broken Girl" but later under her own name. She has released six full-lengths and two EPs prior to Woke Myself Up, including the Juno Award-winning Julie Doiron & the Wooden Stars album.

The Moonstation House Band
CD / LP (SC156, released: 01/23/07)
David Vandervelde appeared before us one hot summer day like a dynamo. The sound we heard coming through in stereo was that of our coming-of-age years screaming back at us - a faithful reminder that our beauteous days of bowing before pin-up rock stars and carving iconographic logos on desktops and in famous treetrunks have not passed us by. No, David Vandervelde is here to remind us that the truest, most primal and addictive properties of rock n\' roll are ageless. Indeed, this Chicagoan (by way of the dunes of West Michigan) started recording this debut full-length at age 19 yet he shows the maturity and swagger of a man much longer in the tooth. Bearing an immediate resemblance to Marc Bolan and David Bowie, deeper listening rewards the listener with a much broader musical universe.
The Moonstation House Band album captures the highlights from his two-year immersion in Jay Bennett\'s Clubhouse - as Vandervelde refers to the studio in Chicago - where he isolated himself to record this record virtually on his own, using the former Wilco multi-instrumentalist\'s studio as a big toy instrument, enjoying access to much of the same gear as used on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Being There. Self-taught on guitar, drums, bass, piano, synth, and other studio tools, the listener can hear that Vandervelde is an adventurous artist, who embraces classic rock songwriting and whose spirit is just banging at the door to get unleashed.
For three of the songs ("Corduroy Blues", "Widsom From a Tree", and "Moonlight Instrumental"), Vandervelde worked with award-winning string arranger David Campbell (who, aside from being Beck\'s father, has done string arrangements for Elton John, Leonard Cohen, Willie Nelson, Beck, and also did the Brokeback Mountain score) and engineer Steve Churchyard (Wings, the Band, Bryan Ferry, Lucinda Williams).

Band : Clinic
Album : Visitations
Release Date : Ocotber 16, 2006
Website : http://www.clinicvoot.org/
Record Label : Domino
Rating : 7.8
New Clinic album. Their new record, Visitations, probably won’t whip up a frenzy like a new Clinic album would have a few years back. Quite frankly their last couple of records have gotten progressively worse. Before going into that, a brief overview of the band.
Clinic are those (wacky) guys that always appear in public with surgical masks. They have a musical style that is very distinct and different from most other bands. In a way that can be a fault, because when the band’s at their worst, there’s a feeling of every song sounding like every other song by Clinic. Their sound is so distinctive because of those VU’s “Sister Ray” type of keyboards & rhythm guitars combined with their usual boomy bass guitars and drums that can get loud and even louder, kind of like the Pixies. Vocals usually have that sound that recalls a little bit of Thom Yorke singing with his teeth clenched shut. This is all sprinkled with their trademark musical embellishments like harmonica’s or loop based electronics fitted into compact sub 3 minute songs.
For whatever reasons I found their last record, Winchester Cathedral, to be dull and their prior record, Walking With Thee had an absolutely killer track in “Walking With Thee” but the majority of tracks were over produced filler material. So there hasn’t been a record I really loved by Clinic since Internal Wrangler and their first 3 EP’s. That has been a long time. Because of this, I wasn’t all that thrilled in hearing their new record Visitations. Even after the first listen, the album sounded like…well Clinic. Not in a bad way, nor in a good way. Just songs that I have heard from Clinic in the past. But somewhere between the second and third listens to to the record, something just clicked. Its those various different sounds that float around their standard sounds that really got me to listen to the record closer. There’s the awesome wah-wah guitars that comes out of nowhere in the all too short “Animal Human,” the harmonica’s that float in and out of Paradise, those keyboards & muted guitars in “Harvest.” Once those sounds grabbed my attention, I wanted to hear the record again. By this time I absolutely got into the album. The songs got more addictive and the style ranged all over the Clinic map. First track “Family” recalls stuff from their early EP days. Has that sound where it would fit in nicely next to say “I.P.C. Subeditors Dictate Our Youth” or “Evil Bill.” The harmonica’s in “Paradise” reminds me of the good stuff from Walking With Thee and is one of their catchiest songs to date.
Visitations is a impressive return to form by Clinic. Although, the songs don’t stray far from the style of their previous albums…the songs are just more compelling then anything they have done since Internal Wrangler. Thrashy at times, melodic at other times, with their very distinct musical embellishments layered on top. This is groovy.

ROB CROW
"Living Well"
Somewhere between the breakneck touring to support Pinback¹s breakthrough Touch and Go debut, \'Summer in Abaddon\', and the release of The Ladies\' debut album (his collaboration with Zach Hill of Hella/Team Sleep), the impossibly prolific Rob Crow had an epiphany: SLOW DOWN. Not coincidentally, this revelation occurred shortly after the birth of his first child (named Robertdale Crow III, of course). Crow\'s time at home was suddenly more important than ever. His family is all over \'Living Well\', his third solo album: in the album title, the artwork (layered with dozens of family photos), and the intensely personal lyrics which document Crow\'s courtship with his wife, their marriage, and the subsequent birth of their first child. Not only is \'Living Well\' Crow\'s finest solo album by a country mile, it also transcends many of Pinback\'s most canonic moments. It has the hooks and heart that he is famous for, with a refined focus not seen in Crow\'s other projects.
