We’ll review an album and let you know what it’s all about!
One of my most anticipated new albums of 2010 is LP4 by Ratatat. This is the instrumental duoās fourth full-length and it does not disappoint. Known for mixing beat, synths and guitar sampling, Ratatat continues to keep it fresh! āDrugsā is the second track on the album and one of my favorites. It starts off …
Band of Horses is a band I became introduced to when I heard Cease to Begin, which was really a great all-around album. I actually reviewed it almost a year ago here on entertheshell.com. But unlike Cease to Begin, the band’s latest release,Ā Infinite Arms,Ā failed to grab hold of me. Perhaps because it isn’t a new …
If I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again:Ā I LOVE CHICKS THAT ROCK!Ā OK, we all know that I love chick singers, so it is no surprise that Thao & The Get Down Stay Down would release what is my favorite album of 2010 thus far.Ā The album “Know Better Learn Faster” was released …
There are times when you hear an album and it impresses you in such a way that you want to just forget anything else is out there at the moment. Upon ETS friend and Drinkcast personality Michaelās request, I gave new up-and-comer Janelle MonĆ”eās album, The Archandroid: Suites II and III a whirl. And in …
Musical duos seem to be more and more common these days with acts like The White Stripes, The Dresden Dolls, The Mars Volta and MGMT. Another great duo is The Black Keys, who just recently released their sixth studio album, Brothers. Brothers is chock full of the obvious blues influences of The Black Keys using …
Musician Jack White has a lot on his plate, especially since taking on yet another band and releasing its sophomore album, Sea of Cowards. The lead singer of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs takes a back seat with The Dead Weather, acting as drummer and vocalist. The band takes the raw sound that White …
Ah, the musical project that people keep telling me to listen to but I never get around to doing it. I’ve heard a couple of LCD Soundsystem’s songs and really like them but for some reason I haven’t gotten into their whole albums until this, their third (and supposedly final) release in This Is Happening. …
The gypsy punks are back! Gogol Bordello releasedĀ Trans-Continental Hustle last week, their fifth studio album, and like my last review of one of their albums, I am all over it! The gypsy/punk fusion of influences once again run rampant and frontman Eugene HĆ¼tz’s presence is undeniable as always! This album marks a big step …
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward return this year with the follow-up to Volume 1, the album that put Deschanel on the map as a musician. Volume 2 is a good continuation of the debut, but more heavily laced with country influences. The album’s first single, “In The Sun,” is very poppy and pretty mainstream-esque with …
Wow. Talk about a follow-up! Technically, The Bird and the Bee’s latest release, Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates, could take up a couple of months’ worth of Covers Revue. But this full album of Hall & Oates covers is too amazing to not feature in our Album …
