Erland and the Carnival is a band that I have been trying to write about for a couple of weeks now. They have been consistently played in our little flat here in Croatia and I am absolutely loving the new s/t album. Although the music is incredibly new and original, I am absolutely certain that it would stand-up just fine in a 1960's hipster movie about an evil circus troupe. It is just that fun!
I don't know what it is. I have been attracted to this upbeat, almost circus-influenced, music as of late. I am really admiring music that has a fun and almost jumpy element to it. I guess it's the waltzer in me.
Anyway, there are a couple of tracks up on myspace from Erland and the Carnival, hope you like them.
Oh, the warmth that comes with Jason Collett. Every time I hear him I think I should be sitting beside a fireplace sipping hot coffee and staring at a frozen lake. I don't know what it is but he exudes a certain Canadiana that is untouchable by a lot Canadian bands.
I am listening to his new single Love Is A Dirty Word, for which you can download here by providing your email, and I am really looking forward to his new album. Although it is a little more upbeat than usual, I think his upcoming album is going to be fantastic.
P.S. You should sign-up for Arts and Crafts updates anyway because they are an amazing label.
I normally have a rough go with songs that are over six minutes long. Is it my attention span or lack there of it? However, that being said, I absolutely love the Moon Duo's latest Escape.
The Moon Duo deserve a lot of recognition. They are genius! Like a modern day Suicide, they push that wall of sound boundary ever-so elegantly. They have those steadfast songs that want to sound repetitive but, with each new note, hit the listener with something fresh and exciting.
