The Lilys - Eccsame The Photon Band

2010-11-16T10:35:00.000-08:00

This album is kind of plain, but still really good. reminds me of supergrass and the national, kinda, but has this great shoegaze feel to it. njoy

From wikipedia:

Eccsame the Photon Band is a 1994 album by the American indie rock band, Lilys, released on the spinART label.^[4] The album saw the band move towards dream pop.^[2] The album was recorded at Mike Deming's Studio 45 in Hartford, Connecticut,^[5] largely as duo of Kurt Heasley and Harold Evans (ofPoole).^[6]

^{The album was described as "one of the Lilys' best" by Jason Ankeny, writing for Allmusic.^[2] It was described as "a hallucinatory revelation" by Marc Hogan of Pitchfork Media.^[7] Comparing it with the band's previous album, Douglas Wolk, writing for Trouser Press, called it "a much crazier record, and a much quieter one".^[6] Andrew Unterberger of Stylus Magazine stated that the album was "not influenced by shoegazing as a genre, but rather as a principle,", calling it "a masterpiece of mood, atmosphere and production."^[8] Andrea Moed of CMJ New Music Monthly stated that on the album Heasley "sounds likeDavid Gilmour's slightly less evil twin, numb but not quite comfortable".^[3]}

Kurt Heasley - guitar, vocals, bass guitar, organ, synthesizers, vibraphone
Harold "Bear" Evans - drums, percussion, bass guitar, vibraphone, vocals
Michael Deming - organ, vibraphone, bass, tone cluster

65 Days of Static - The Fall of Math

2010-06-08T11:14:00.000-07:00

These are some british post-rock dudes, using drum and vocal samples and some corny "static" effects, but nonetheless are very listenable. This is their first album, 'the fall of math', and should be very good for summer driving music. recommended!

From their Wikipedia:

The origin of the name is unclear, with the band once stating that they took their name from an unreleased John Carpenter film called Stealth Bomber, starring Kurt Russell, that they had formed to create the soundtrack to.^[1] However, the lack of any further information regarding the film's existence makes this unlikely. On 20 July 2009, the band stated on BBC Radio 1 that they were named after the last words of Adolf Hitler. Other theories include that the band took their name from the CIA's 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état during which the CIA put a white book instrument to use according to which 65 days of disabling the communication systems of a nation while spreading propaganda is enough to overthrow a country,^[2] or, as put forward by New Statesman, that the name was derived from psychological experiments conducted in the 1950s to 1960s, in which it was found that exposure to 65 days of white noise (or static) would render the listener insane.
