Just stumbled upon this 25 minute documentary on the making of the new Death Cab album, and the beginning of the tour. Great stuff if you’re into the band, so have a look:
For those of you who don’t already know, the new album Narrow Stairs (iTunes) is out tomorrow. The band are touring throughout the summer, so grab your tickets now! Details on their site
Well, here goes then – my first entry into my first blog ever. This whole wordpress thing seems kinda cool, so I’ll try to stick with it over the next few weeks and see if I actually get into it or not!
Anyways, I’m here to talk about music, so today I want you guys to check out (if you haven’t already) M83. This band (or guy, as is correct) has been around since about 2001, but has just released a new album. How would you describe it? erm.. anthemic, electronic slightly orchestral in places, with some spoken lyrics (dont cringe, it’s not how it sounds!) Good stuff all the same.
If you’re on iTunes I recommend grabbing one of their older albums, “Before the dawn heals us” which is currently going for about £5. Bargain! Then check out their myspace to get a feel for the stuff from the new album, “Saturdays = Youth”.
I seem to have found an interest in “epic” sounding music, if you get what I mean. Big, emotional sounds, lots of reverb, powerful chord changes etc. Which makes M83 right up my street!
