Cold War Kids ~ Robbers & Cowards $6.39

 

"This LA band has toured nationally with Two Gallants, Tapes 'N Tapes, Sound Team, and done Lollapalooza dates. They're known for their electric live shows and major publications have already taken notice, with coverage in Spin and a 4-star review in Rolling Stone. "A gorgeous piece of geek-rock soul...Bravo, kids!" - Rolling Stone. "Imagine the rawness of The White Stripes on day one. Or what Spoon would sound like at a church camp making music with found objects" - LA Weekly. "

 

 

The John Butler Trio ~ Three $5.59

 

"This debut album by Australian John Butler's energetic jam-band phenom sold platinum in their native country and spawned numerous stateside club gigs as well as an opening slot for the Dave Matthews Band. Fueled by Butler's distinctive, earthy slide and finger-picked guitar, and vocals that recall Matthews at his most urgent, the trio (Rory Quirk on bass and Jason McGann on drum round out the outfit) breathes some welcome fire into the jam-band formula on the 10 cuts here. Butler's gritty muse is by turns Delta savvy and Outback exotic (with the haunting, ringing tones of his open-tuned fretwork occasionally seasoned by didgeridoo), often building into powerful soundquakes that stand the hippie-blues ethos of the genre firmly on its head. Butler's forceful guitar tones underscore his romantic dedication ("Betterman"), commitment to antiviolence ("Attitude"), environmental concerns ("Earthbound Child"), and general outrage at the modern world ("Money," "Media") with equal fervor, building a compelling argument that one of the most powerful forces in rock remains a world-wise guitarist with talent in his fingers and fire in his belly. --Jerry McCulley

Newton Faulkner ~ Hand Built by Robots $5.59

 

"Newton Faulkner has toured with Paulo Nutini and James Morrison. You hear this fact far more often than you have to–-it might have made sense to expose his palatable acoustic tinkerings to those massive audiences, but that association leaves too simplistic an impression. He specialises in partially progressive, free-willed folk-pop that is on one hand too cosy and warm for mass consumption–-there’s only so much space around the beach campfire–-but on the other it’s so accessible, so infectious, so feel-good that how could it not be headed for every other car stereo in the country, windows rolled down (weather permitting). It’s not cutting edge by any stretch of the imagination; he constantly reminds of the acoustic balladry of 90s soft-metal bands Extreme and Mr Big (or at least the songs "More than Words" and "To Be with You") via modern day peers like Ben Harper, but Newton Faulkner comes with a fertile imagination and an enjoyably flexible range to dress that foundation up. His gravelly cover of Massive Attack’s "Teardrop" is notable and Jack Johnson’s a good reference for the percussive plucking of tunes like "Gone in the Morning", "To the Light" and "Feels Like Home". There are very few 17-track albums that couldn’t be improved by losing six tracks, but the consistency on Hand Built by Robots is admirable and hints at a long term talent. --James Berry "

Gwyn Ashton ~ Prohibition (Digipack) $7.19

 

"Featuring fourteen sizzling tracks, Ashton is joined by bass player Chris Glen and drummer Ted McKenna on this ferocious outing. Chris and Ted will no doubt be familiar to discerning rock punters from their days in The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Ian Gillan Band and the Michael Schenker Group. Together, the three make an absolutely formidable combo. There is even a cameo by Don Airey, former Rainbow, Whitesnake, Gary Moore, Black Sabbath and now Deep Purple keys man. Prohibition shuffles a smart selection of tough rocking styles, from the blues-soaked ""Ball & Chain"", through to more lyrical forays such as ""Castaway"", and the demonic bastard Bo Diddley shuffle of the title track. It also includes Gwyn's soulful tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan, ""Rest In Paradise"". Ashtons acclaimed fretboard fireworks are sprayed liberally throughout, with the Glen/McKenna rhythmic axis keeping things devastatingly simple. Gwyn Ashton has toured the UK, Europe, the USA and his native Australia extensively in his rewarding career, making friends and fans from across the globe.

The Cat Empire ~ Two Shoes $5.59

 

"For six guys from Melbourne, Australia, to travel half the world to record their second record indicates titanic success for their first. And that's what led the jazzed-up, funked-out popsters Cat Empire to a studio in Havana, Cuba, to follow up that million-selling debut. Here, the band takes its Latin leanings a step farther, creating room for what is billed as the Empire Horns--trombone, trumpet, and sax--in its driving, thriving beat. Lead vocalist Felix Riebl's witty intellect and dripping Aussie twang are the Cat's most distinguishing merits (see the Bob Marley love-fest of a title track and the first line of the offbeat "Sly": "If frizzy hair was a metaphor for festival time/Then this woman is a goddess of that festival shrine"). Yet compatriot Harry James Angus demands equal billing here, with contributions like the ska rave "Saltwater," the punkish memoir "The Car Song," and "Protons, Neutrons, Electrons"--an uproarious showtune of a song complete with delightful piano break and "zip-a-dee-doo" chorus. Still, co-stars aside, this is a complementary sextet that's seemingly comfortable with nearly any style of music--and willing to circle the globe to prove it. --Scott Holter

Astrid Williamson ~ Day of the Lone Wolf $6.39

 

"Imagine, for example, a place where the stimulating strangeness of Radiohead might meet the melodic sensuality of Shania Twain, where the soul-baring intensity of a cult songwriter like Lisa Germano might melt into the funky ambiences conjured up by Daniel Lanois, where the minimalist keyboard ambience of Erik Satie might drift across the surreal landscapes of Laura Veirs. Until now, such places existed only in dreams, as if waiting to be born. Astrid Williamson's third solo album, Day Of The Lone Wolf, is the place where all these magical sounds, and more besides, have finally come together, to rub up one against the other, collide and spark brightly, briefly illuminating the darker corners of the human heart."

Eidolon review: (nei, jeg er IKKE enig i det som står om Tool ^^)

 

Music enthusiasts with more discerning tastes often feel Tool's work over the last ten years is a little - lacking. Could you really blame them for this? Whether it's a result of the group being spread too thin between other projects or maybe truly running out of ideas after "˜96, it's pretty obvious that Maynard James Keenan and crew have just been winding each others' cranks lately. After all, other than some annoyingly ardent ass-kisser that believes they can do no wrong, what listener wants waste time trying to mix pointless tracks together to find a so-called "secret"? The whole idea is more condescending than anything fellow ostentatious windbag The Mars Volta has ever put together.

 

The good news is that there's recourse for those finding downright insulting pretension a very hard pill to swallow. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Rishloo's Eidolon. To say the least, this album is a PROPERLY grandiose trip into modern progressive metal that brandishes what the last two Tool albums SHOULD have sounded like. That's right, those that were left disappointed with Lateralus and 10,000 Days' two or three key songs wrapped in a self-indulgent borefest of musical masturbation now have the perfect salvation. Even better, Rishloo aspires to be more than another small fish in the massive ocean of wannabes. Eidolon's expansion on the sound originated by its forefathers, moreover Rishloo's previous album, Terras Fames, heeds a perfect example of a student becoming the teacher.

 

Lead vocalist Andrew Mailloux is at the end of this line of evolution. While he still pays quite a bit of homage to Keenan's well-traveled delivery, Mailloux has adopted a militant, swashbuckler's swagger to his piping that propels album openers such as "Freaks and Animals" and "El Empe" into an oddly upbeat groove that doesn't quite chime with the somber aura of the album's cover art. This sentiment is only enhanced when he occasionally hits humorously amusing falsetto notes not unlike what's emanating from the Fair to Midland camp. Though it's unexpected that he'd risk combining such purposely tongue-in-cheek concepts with an album with such serious overtones, Mailloux makes it work almost seamlessly with the music. The results make the opus that much more engaging.

 

The rest of the band displays the same learning curve as its frontman, even with a new member taking over. "Pandora" and the Dredg-like beginnings of "Alchemy Alice" reach far outside of the type of riffs one would anticipate from a band molded from the architects of supposed intelligent nü-metal. And on the bookend of these treks are intermissions "My Favorite Things" and "Weeble Wabble." It's here Rishloo continues to teach the teacher exactly how it's done by not trying to stretch one and a half minutes of instrumental material into four and then tacking on titles with words so big that they would dumfound an Oxford English professor.

 

As if this group hasn't already shown enough gusto with a simple principle called "substance," completion is also an important priority. Instead of giving only half an LP, or in Tool's case, about five decent songs in an entire decade, Rishloo has gone the extra mile and recorded an album that's accomplished from beginning to end. Wow, a novel concept for certain! As Eidolon begins its closing, the commendable saga of "Eidolon Alpha" and "Omega" showcases some of the band's most intense moments. Coupled with the closing tracks, this section does sleeve most of the recording's Tool mimicry, but it also effectively illustrates that just a little regard for the listener goes a long way. The better half of these tunes take the most defining parts of Aenima, the fifteen minutes of Lateralus what were actually tolerable, and removes all the vocabulary that can't be found in a standard dictionary.

 

One would think that it's an easy task to mine the sound of an inspiring band for its most valuables ores. While that is indeed what Rishloo has done with the majority of its existence, few groups have been as successful from a quality standpoint. This begs the mind to speculate what wonders these guys could achieve if they just stepped a little further outside of their comfort zone. Regardless of whether that day does or doesn't see dawn, this simple math will do just fine:

 

Tool - 80% pomposity = Rishloo
