Treehouse: August 2010
http://treehousebk.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl" @ the Nasher Museum, Durham, NC. Over the past few years, Treehouse's Piotr Orlov has been assisting long-time friend and collaborator, curator Trevor Schoonmaker, on a museum show about vinyl records. Not the typical "album sleeve art" exhibition, but, in Trevor's words, a show about how "artists use the vinyl record as metaphor, archive, artifact, icon, portrait, or transcendent medium.". Which has been garnering fantastic reviews and i...

Aural Journal: March 2010
http://auraljournal.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Lady from the prairy. This is Emily Bindiger's first and only album on a career that encompassed music, film, TV and stage. Really worth your while, too and a shame that she didn't produce more of this wild, spiritual and brave music. There hasn't yet been a CD reissue of this, her eponymous album with a cover that is strangely reminiscent of another one. Take a listen to Jesus Said. A wild journey into religion and spiritual freedom and see what you think. The Zombies and the Oracle. It just goes to show.

Aural Journal: April 2010
http://auraljournal.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Something strange happens when The Divine Comedy release a new album. Unknowingly to the impending release, I start listening to their records almost as a compulsion and then when I go to their official website to find out what they've been up to recently, I discover that they are about to put out a new album in the near future. Serendipity, they call it. This is their last one and its title -. Victory for the Comic Muse. Is a nod to their very first and quite rare album -. Fanfare for the Comic Muse.

Aural Journal: The power of speech
http://auraljournal.blogspot.com/2010/11/power-of-speach.html
The power of speech. Another proof on how to not fall prey to the dreaded sophomore album curse. Laura Marling says she speaks because she can and we believe her all the way. This, her next after her brilliant debut, proves once and for all that she is here to stay and furthermore that she has made an album for the ages. Listen to Darkness Descends. A quite up-beat song albeit its misleading title. Aural Labels: Female Singer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Aural Suggestion Of The Month. Now I feel ...
