Free Music Notes for All Hour Cymbals
Free Music Review: the rock with a new roll
Hit: 5 Stars
These guys sound like Beatles meets Tinariwen, with vocals by Peter Gabriel in a phenomenal duo with Ravi Shankar. This being said, I just let you listen to them, and wait for your answer.Free Music Review: Uplifting & Refreshing
Hit: 5 Stars
From start to finish, Yeasayer bring the noise, or rather a symphony of glories harmonies - straight to your preverbal palette.
They describe their music as "Middle Eastern-psych-snap-gospel". I like to think of it as spiritual music. Not in the Muslim or Christian sense, but rather in the realm of music as faith. Much like the Church of John Coltrane (thanks Alice!). hell, it even ranks up their with indian or Gospel revival songs.
Fans of TV on the Radio, Animal Collective, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Gang Gang Dance and other wordly world music will relish in All Hour Cymbals as an LP record of big sound, uplifting movement and supreme reign over being absolutely unique and amazingly accessible, all at the same time.
Don't be afraid of the apocalypse!
Free Music Review: Completely new pleasure
Hit: 5 Stars
High quality album. Impressive moments. Voices and mix? Master piece of work! Best songs? Forgiveness + Waves. Absolutely new sensation. Tais Top 80.
Free Music Review: When I first heard 'Wintertime', I almost fell out of my chair...
Hit: 5 Stars
next hearing 2080 I *DID* fall out of it, and hit the ground.
The textured, Acid/Middle Eastern guitar attack that starts Wintertime, after the cleverly low key intro, reminds me a bit of the very early 'acid' SF sound, and the live Pink Floyd 'Ummagumma' version of 'Careful with that Axe, Eugene' (IMHO, DSOTM was their death knell-thought they were suddenly able to afford champagne, caviar, Rolls Royces, have butlers/maids with 100 hectare spreads with 30 bedroom mansions-while they write songs about how horrible it is to be famous multi-million dollar stadium filling rock stars...)
But back to YSs-Ive heard a THIRD track now that I love-such a rarity-now i have to go out and buy it.
My only quibble is, that I think there is some unintended engineering/mixing problems-fuzzy sound, riffs buried a bit too deep to hear-and I like the kids being given the closing verse on 2080-thought they are barely audible-but remixing and retakes cost money and this is a great indie start, -also, some lead guitar would differentiate some of the longer repetitive passages of WT.
All in all, hypnotic, uplifting music.
Free Music Review: Album of the Year
Hit: 5 Stars
There is no question about it. I am a huge Radiohead fun and was expecting the new album with great anticipation. Nevertheless more than a month after its release I find myself listening to "All Hour Cymbals" repeatedly instead of "In Rainbows". The same with Arcade's Fire "Neon Album" which I also had at the top of my list for 2007. The same with the LCD Soundystem album and the Nationals's album, other strong contenders. Nothing compares to this album. It is new, unique, strange, classy, mysterious, melodic. Definitely album of the year for me.
