Hamish
Anderson - Trouble (Independently released
CD, Blues/rock/pop/riff rock)
Although most people would categorize this as blues music, to our ears some
of this could also easily be described as riff rock. Hamish Anderson
is from Melbourne, Australia. But from the sound of the tunes on this album,
you'd never know it. In terms of overall sound and feel, Anderson's music
has a great deal in common with bands and artists in the United States.
"Hold On Me" is the first single being offered from this album,
but in actuality there are several tracks here that would make excellent
singles. "Hold On Me" is a great track to be certain, and it was
probably chosen because it really showcases this guy's skills as a guitarist.
But we can't help but think that the title track could also be hugely successful.
"Trouble" is built around an insanely catchy guitar riff, and
it has an excellent overall vibe (the video for the song is excellent).
Hamish has a totally cool soulful voice that's a perfect fit for his well-crafted
blues rock. Producer Jim Scott is responsible for the nice thick
rockin' sound. Twelve groovy cuts including "Trouble," "Fire,"
"Never See You Again," "Hold On Me," "Don't Look
Back," and "My Sweetheart, You."

Kurt
Baker Combo - In Orbit (CD, Wicked Cool, Rock/pop)
Get ready for some catchy upbeat buzzsaw power pop, cuz the Kurt Baker
Combo is bringing the genre right back into the limelight. In Orbit
features tunes that are instantly familiar and fueled by rhythms that are
impossibly contagious. It took several spins for us to realize it, but a
lot of this music reminds us very much of the first few albums from Seattle's
Young Fresh Fellows (the vocals are particularly similar to Scott
McCaughey at times). Kurt Baker played in the Maine-based band
The Leftovers before releasing three solo albums. Now there's a new
name, due to the addition of permanent band members Jorge Colidan, Juancho
Lopez, and Sam Malakian. If you dig guitar-based power pop bands
from the 1980s and 1990s, you'll find a lot to appreciate here. Baker and
his bandmates keep things simple using only the basics. And, by doing so,
make music that is simple and ultimately effective. Groovy danceable tracks
include "Upside Down," "Count On Me," "Next Tomorrow,"
and "Do It For You." A total upbeat and fun experience.
Sam
Burchfield - Unarmored (Independently
released CD, Soul/pop)
Smooth soulful pop with expert arrangements and a cool warm vibe. Sam
Burchfield has a friendly warm presence that should please listeners
of all ages. He combines elements from folk, pop, soul, and rhythm and blues
to create music that you could swear you've heard somewhere before.
Sam's voice is what will continually bring listeners back for more. He has
a deep resonant voice that's simultaneously soothing and real. The tracks
on Unarmored have a sound that is surprisingly organic and warm.
This is a far cry from most of the digitally-tweaked albums that are released
in the twenty-first century. Eight friendly tracks here including "Spring,"
"Sweet Company," "Unarmored," and "Someday."
C2
& The Brothers Reed - Weigh Station
Tour (Independently released CD, Southern rock/pop)
These guys in Lexington, Kentucky are bringing Southern rock back into focus.
The band initially released the EP Hot Mess (great title) before
doing some heavy touring. They played over 250 shows in 2014 and 2015. Afterward,
they went into the studio to record Weigh Station Tour. All that
touring and playing together obviously paid off, as these guys now sound
super tight and focused. This band is all about groovy rhythms and kickass
guitars. With the renewed interest in 1970s bands lately, it's almost a
sure bet that these guys are going to catch on in a big way. They know how
to get in a groove and stay in it. Genuine rockin' tunes include
"Exit A," "Sicko," "Sway," "Be There,"
and "Smoking Gun."
Cowtown - Paranormal Romance (CD, Happy
Happy Birthday To Me, Rock/pop)
The fourth full-length release from this cool trio based in the United Kingdom.
If this is any indication of what's happening in Great Britain these days,
we need to switch our channels away from the United States in favor
of what's happening overseas. We're always on a search for kickass underground
guitar bands. And in the twenty-first century some of the best of the
best can be found on Athens, Georgia's Happy Happy Birthday To Me label.
Cowtown is an instant favorite here in babysueland. The tracks
on Paranormal Romance are instantly friendly, catchy, and infectious.
These tracks bring to mind a whole bunch of classic artists we love including
(but not limited to) The Buzzcocks, early Squeeze, early Devo,
Brainiac, The Poster Children, and The Young Fresh Fellows
(and that's just a few that initially come to mind). If you love
hyperactive modern pop with incredible melodies and energy that just won't
stop, you're almost certain to fall in love with this album. This is one
of those cases where we wouldn't change a thing. Twelve superb catchy cuts
including "Clock In," "Captain Planet," "Castle
Greyscale," "Closed Circuit," and "Emojicore."
Recommended. TOP PICK.

Fond
of Tigers - Uninhabit (CD, Off Season, Progressive/experimental)
Regular readers know how fond we are of Canadian music. This is yet another
band from that country, and one that is decidedly different from all the
rest. Uninhabit is the fourth full-length release from Fond of
Tigers. And it's a strange one. This music reminds us of stuff
from the 1970s and 1990s, two decades when creativity seemed to be at an
all-time high. Uninhabit features five lengthy tracks, all of which
should instantly expand your mind as well as your horizons. The music on
this album merges ideas and sounds from progressive rock with modern classical
and even experimental jazz. It's difficult to compare this to other artists
in the twenty-first century because we honestly can't come up with any obvious
comparisons. Some of this is very melodic and musical, while other segments
are more atmospheric and experimental. Fond of Tigers is comprised of Stephen
Lyons, Morgan McDonald, JP Carter, Dan Gaucher, Skye Brooks, Shanto Archaria,
and Jesse Zubot. These folks make music that is unusual and trippy...so
expect the unexpected here. Every cut is a keeper, but particular favorites
include "Heartwarmongering No. 4," "Uninhabit," and
"Everything Moves." Wildly inventive and different. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Top pick.
Halt and Catch Fire - Original Television Series Soundtrack: Music by Paul Haslinger (CD, Lakeshore, Television series
soundtrack)
We didn't 'get' the name of this television series at first. But after doing
a bit of reading on the internet, we found that the phrase "halt and
catch fire" is a computer machine code instruction that refers to an
execution that would cause the central processing unit to stop functioning.
The television series was created by Christopher Cantwell and Christopher
C. Rogers. The series began in 2014 and has really begun to catch on
recently. This album features music created for the series by Australian
composer Paul Haslinger, whose name has appeared on this web site
numerous times in the past. This soundtrack album features twenty three
tracks of technology-driven modern mood music that must surely be one of
the things that draws viewers into the show. (We have not seen the series
yet, so this music serves as an introduction for us.). This album can be
heard and appreciated as either a soundtrack or an electronic atmospheric
experience. These tracks are heady, slightly trippy, and ultimately very
inviting. Haslinger has captured an overall mood and sound that seems to
perfectly parallel the world of computers and technology. Listeners may
be reminded of Kraftwerk at times (which is a great compliment,
of course...). Wonderfully executed cuts include "Golden Gate,"
"Reverse Engineering," "The Way In," "Last Nerve,"
and "Macmillan Utility." Totally cool stuff, recommended. Top
pick.
Roger
Hoover - Pastures (CD, Last
Chance, Americana/pop)
Roger Hoover writes and records classic folky pop that most folks
probably place in the Americana category. In the press release that accompanied
this album, Hoover referenced Tom Waits, Kris Kristofferson, and
Leonard Cohen. If any or all of these fall into your list of favorites,
there's a good chance you'll find a lot to appreciate on Pastures.
Because these songs were recorded using traditional instruments, you can
be certain they won't sound dated as the years pass by. Hoover isn't writing
clever trendy music for the moment. He writes solid sincere tunes that come
from his heart, and then presents them simply using only the specific instruments
and voices necessary to get his point across. There are some truly beautiful
chord progressions on this album that will impress just about anyone who
plays guitar. All of the tracks are solid, but our initial favorites include
"Give What You Get Back," "Dust," "There's Something
In My Heart," and "Pastures."
Stefanie
Keys - Open Road (Independently released
CD, Pop)
The songs on this album have an extremely commercial sound and appeal. Normally
coming from us, such a statement would be the kiss of death. But in this
case, that does not apply. Stefanie Keys has achieved the
impossible. She has recorded songs that are very commercial and yet...they
still have cool substance and style. Keys seems like one of those ladies
who would be great to hang out with. We instantly loved her image...long
blond hair, a big floppy hat, and striped bell bottoms. All of this immediately
reminded us of Janis Joplin. Upon reading the press release, we realized
the similarities were more than just visual. Keys toured with Big Brother
and the Holding Company for five years. Open Road will hopefully
reach its intended audience...those folks who want familiar sounding music,
played with focus and style. Stefanie's voice is, of course, the main ingredient
here. She's got a cool soulful voice that really cuts through the mix. Backing
Keys are Dave Shul (guitar), Ronnie Smith (drums, backing
vocals), Dave Jess (bass), Raleigh Neal (keyboards), and Peter
Keys (piano). Cool groove-oriented tracks include "No Tomorrow,"
"Sleeping Lady," "Cold Day," and "9 O'Clock."
The Light Between Oceans - Music Composed and Conducted by Alexandre
Desplat (CD, Lakeshore,
Motion picture score)
Reviews for this motion picture seem to be going all over the place. We've
generally found that this means it's something worth seeing, so right now
The Light Between Oceans is on our must see list. A co-production
between the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand,
this movie involves a lighthouse keeper and his wife who find a girl drifting
in the ocean and then rescue and adopt her. Much later on, the pair realize
who the child's real parents are. The music for this motion picture was
created by award-winning French composer Alexandre Desplat. This
fellow has created music for all kinds of interesting films including The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Harry Potter and the
Death Hallows: Parts 1 and Part 2, Moonrise Kingdom, Argo, Zero Dark
Thirty, Godzilla, The Imitation Game, Unbroken, and many more. The key
words to describe this music would be...pensive and subdued.
This music is neither aggressive nor overwhelming. These beautifully-crafted
compositions have very nice flowing qualities that give the listener of
feeling of relaxation and serenity. Intriguing tracks include "Letters,"
"In God's Hands," "Lucy Grace," "Still Your Husband,"
and "The Light Between Oceans." Intricate and cerebral. Top pick.

The
Mavericks - All Night Live: Volume 1
(CD, Mono Mundo Recordings,
Pop)
When we think of our all-time top favorite country/pop bands, The Mavericks
always instantly come to mind. All Night Live: Volume 1 is the first
release on the band's newly formed label (Mono Mundo Recordings), so this
begins a new chapter in their career as they take matters into their own
hands. You can tell from the response of the audience on these recordings
that Mavericks fans are ready and willing to follow the band regardless
of how they release their music. This is a real nice slick l'il package.
The CD is housed in a cool triple fold cardboard sleeve and includes a nifty
mini-booklet. You can literally feel the energy as the band presents sixteen
real crowd pleasers. The Mavericks are Raul Malo, Paul Deakin, Eddie
Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden. Joining them on these live recordings
are Michael Guerra, Max Abrams, Matt Cappy, and Ed Friedland.
The tracks presented are mostly upbeat crowd pleasers. But our personal
favorite here is "Harvest Moon" because it's the softer moments
when you really hear what a great voice Raul Malo has. When this guy sings
ballads and torch songs, he can't be beat. We'll be keeping our eyes
and ears open for any/all future releases on the Mono Mundo label.
Big
Jay McNeely - Bringin' Down the House: Big
Jay's Latest & Greatest (CD, Cleopatra
Blues, Blues/rock/pop)
For every well-known celebrity in the world of music, there are always hundreds
and hundreds of unknown and lesser known players. Although most of us don't
know the name Big Jay McNeely, most of us should. McNeely
was one of the early pioneers who helped spearhead rock and roll. And he
was doing his thing way ahead of the pack. Big Jay got his start in the
1940s playing some wild saxophone to the beat of adrenaline-fueled blues/soul
music. And his show was one of the main draws. He is credited with being
one of the first musicians to make the show itself an integral part of his
act. In his heyday, McNeely played with artists like Little Richard,
B.B. King, Etta James, and Jr. Wells (!). Now 89 years old, McNeely
is still up and running...and he shows no signs of giving up. Hopefully
this latest release from the fine folks at Cleopatra Blues will make more
people aware of Big Jay's music. Bringin' Down the House: Big Jay's Latest
& Greatest presents songs from the past as well as some brand new
recordings. It's amazing when someone can make music for this long and still
sound credible and real. Cool rockin' cuts include "Love Will Never
Fail," "My Love Never Ended," "Party," "Blow
Blow Blow," and "Rock Candy."
Nerve - Original Score by Rob
Simonsen (CD, Lakeshore,
Motion picture score)
When we began listening to this our first thought was...hmmmm...this
almost sounds like music for a video game. It was only when we did a
bit of searching on the internet that we realized that the motion picture
Nerve is actually centered around people playing a video game. So
it would only make sense that some of this music would have that kind of
sound. This is a new movie that's based on the 2012 novel of the same name.
Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the film stars
Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, and Juliette Lewis. The plot revolves
around people who play or watch an online video game. This one's getting
some interesting reviews, so our guess is that this will be an interesting
visual and mental trip. The score for the motion picture was created by
Rob Simonsen, a fellow who chooses some interesting projects. In
the past he's created music for Burnt, The Age of Adaline, The Way Way
Back, Life of Pi, Westender, and many more. This is a different sort
of score in which Simonsen creates sounds and moods that give the listener
the feeling of entering and exiting different time periods. This mesmerizing
music no doubt adds all kinds of intriguing interest to the film itself.
Nineteen cool cuts including "Game On," "Staten Island,"
"Verrazano," "Catfight," and "Aftermath."
No
Nets - Bright Light (Independently released
CD-R, Pop/rock)
Huh? A band with a vocalist who has a totally distinct and recognizable
voice? Can it really be...true...??? It may be our imagination, but
it seems as if over the past few decades most folks' vocals have gotten
blander and blander and blander. It's gotten to the point where one vocalist
pretty much sounds like thousands of others. Not so with the band No
Nets. If you dig some of the more unusual underground bands from the
1970s when music was at an all-time peak in terms of true creativity, you're
likely to be blown away by the tracks on Bright Light. And it's not
just the vocals that are totally cool. So are the songs. This is
a remarkably enjoyable album, and the guys in the band did it all themselves.
Brooklyn, New York's No Nets is comprised of Sal Mastrocola, John O'Neill,
Dave Hauenstein, and Walter Shock. Bright Light presents
nine smart tracks with all kinds of cool sounds and solid energy. This will
easily end up being one of our favorite albums of 2016. Killer tracks include
"Dark Matter," "Heavily On My Side," "Morning,"
"Gettin' Despondent," and "Gilded Cage." Highly recommended.
TOP PICK.
The
Shacks - The Shacks (CD, Big Crown, Pop)
We immediately fell in love with this one on the very first spin. This album
is going to be an instant favorite with a lot of underground pop fans. New
York City's The Shacks is the duo of Max Shrager and Shannon
Wise. Together, the two make what might best be described as heavenly
pop music with presence. The overall sound is something like a cross between
the first Talking Heads album mixed with the band Ivy. This
disc begins with a riveting cover of the Ray Davies tune "This
Strange Effect"...which then gives way to "Left It With the Moon,"
which the band recorded at home on a four track cassette deck. We rarely
hear artists with a sound even remotely similar to The Shacks in 2016. These
folks make pure pop music, but with strange qualities that differentiate
it from the rest. There are plenty of inventive surprises to be found here.
Wise has a voice that can't be beat. She sings so softly that it's almost
a whisper. Intriguing songs, smart arrangements, and an overall vibe that's
impossible to dislike. What more can we say? Nine great cuts including "This
Strange Effect," "Tidal Waves," "Rain," and "Strange
Boy." We love this one. Highly recommended. TOP PICK.
Howard
Shore - Seven: Complete Original Score,
Collector's Edition Vol. 7 (CD, Howe,
Motion picture score)
This is the first time that the score to the motion picture Seven
has been made available to the public. And it's quite a package indeed.
The album is housed in a beautifully designed slick triple fold digipak
sleeve and comes complete with a booklet featuring photographs and notes
about the music by Peter Cowie. Much of this music has a tone that
puts the listener in a state of unease or tension, which is precisely what
was required given the story line. This sixty-minute plus score features
impeccable melodies, arrangements, and peculiar sounds...all of which are
key ingredients that make these tracks so absorbing and strange. There are
some segments that definitely remind us of Gustav Mahler at times
(?!). We're not exactly sure why this music was never released on its own
before. But thankfully, listeners and film buffs can now hear the music
in all it's glory minus the dialogue and visuals. It's no wonder Howard
Shore has become such an in-demand composer for motion pictures. The
man works pure magic. Sixteen totally captivating compositions including
"The Last Seven Days," "Help Me," "Library,"
"The Wire," and "Wrath." Highly recommended stuff that's
sure to blow your mind. TOP PICK.
Soft
Pyramids - Planes (Independently released
CD-R, Pop/rock)
This album has a really great overall sound and vibe. This is the
sophomore album from this Boston-based band. Planes is instantly
and totally...groovy. This may be explained by the fact that most
of these tracks were recorded live in the studio with only minimal overdubs
added later. The band wanted to capture the immediacy of creativity and
the sound of a band actually playing together. And on these tracks they
did a wonderful job of achieving their goal. These tracks have a much stronger
and more absorbing groove than we normally hear these days. This is the
kind of music that makes you want to move the moment you hear it...very
similar to the feeling you get when you're seeing a great band live and
just can't stand still. Soft Pyramids is comprised of Dwight Hutchenson
(guitar, lead vocals), Shaun Curran (bass, vocals), John Christensen
(guitar), Matthew Glover (drums), and Aaron Spransy (keyboards,
vocals). Ten well-crafted tracks here including "Paper Houses,"
"Blue Mornings," "Devil In Your Eye," and "Another
Roving Madness."
Cordelia
Stephens - Wide Awake Dream (Independently
released CD, Pop)
Another smooth and satisfying collection of tunes from Brooklyn, New York-based
singer/songwriter Cordelia Stephens. This talented lady's music sounds
something like a cross between Suzanne Vega and Natalie Merchant,
while at the same time never sound too much like either. This is a very
professional sounding album, particularly when you consider the fact that
it is an independent release. These songs are intelligent and resilient,
and will surely stand up to many repeated spins. Ms. Stephens has a great
resonant voice and she has a warm overall presence that comes through loud
and clear in these tracks. Thirteen intriguing cuts that clock in at close
to fifty-two minutes. Our initial favorites include "Wide Awake Dream,"
"Waiting," Time Takes Away," and "Forget Me Not, England."
Nice, pensive thoughtful music with a conscience.
Swiss
Army Man - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack:
Music by Andy Hull and Robert McDowell (CD, Lakeshore, Motion picture soundtrack)
Most motion pictures have plots that we've all seen and heard before in
one way or another. We're happy to report that...this one's definitely
different. The basic story is this. A guy on a deserted island (Paul
Dano) finds a dead body (Daniel Radcliffe), which he soon realizes
he can manipulate in different ways. The two form a bond and together try
to find their way home. The music is obviously a critical variable in this
motion picture. The music was written by Andy Hull and Robert
McDowell (both are in the band Manchester Orchestra). The soundtrack
features both instrumental and vocal tracks. Very much unlike your average
twenty-first century music for film, this album has very subtle qualities
that no doubt required a great deal of time and concentration to record.
We honestly can't remember having heard a soundtrack quite like this one.
Strangely bewildering compositions include "Where Do You Come From?",
"Loved Back To Life," "Underwater," and "A Better
Way." Truly beautiful stuff, created with precise attention to detail.
Highly recommended. TOP PICK.
Trailer
Radio - Country Girls Ain't Cheap (CD,
Moonshine Martini, Country pop/rock)
If we hadn't read the press release, we would've sworn the band Trailer
Radio was based in Nashville, Tennessee. But no, they're not. These
folks are based in New York City. Interestingly, this music isn't what it
first seems to be. Yes, these folks are playing country pop/rock...but at
least in terms of lyrics, what they're doing is mainly satire. But
just cuz they've got a sense of humor, don't expect second-rate songs. The
tracks on Country Girls Ain't Cheap are smart and focused, and they
feature some exceptionally good melodies. Actually and in fact, we'd bet
that most folks won't even initially realize what's happening here because
these folks are so good at what they do...they're at least as good (if not
better) than many of the artists who have influenced their music. Lead vocalist
Shannon Brown has a great voice that really propels these tracks.
Rounding out the band are David Weiss, Mike Dvorkin, Joel Shelton,
and Kenny Soule. Cool, clever cuts include "Granny's Got the
Baby ('Cause Mama's Doin' Time)," "Jimmy Jack's Diner," "Jesus
Loves You (But I'm On the Fence)," and "Big Day for Steffie."
We can tell from the sound of these tracks that these folks put on one helluva
live show. Funny stuff.

The
Wedding Present - Take Fountain (Double
vinyl LP, Scopitones /
Happy Happy Birthday To Me, Pop/rock)
We've been big fans of The Wedding Present for years. We're also
big fans of artists on the Athens, Georgia-based label Happy Happy Birthday
To Me. So it seems perfectly fitting that the two would merge to release
the latest double album from this legendary British band. If you loved the
sound of The Wedding Present and/or Cinerama (Gedge's other band)
in the past, there's little doubt you will also love Take Fountain.
If you somehow missed out on the band's previous recordings but love great
pop, then there's also little doubt that you will love this album. Unlike
others who've been making music for decades, David Gedge never seems
to burn out. Take Fountain begins with the short 'sound' track "On
Ramp" which serves as an appropriate intro. The band then launches
into their trademark upbeat melodic sound featuring infectious rhythms,
precise bass lines, groovy guitars, and Gedge's impossibly warm and inviting
vocals. Listening to this, you'd never know this band began way back
when. These tunes have a fresh and inspired sound that's very similar to
how musicians sound when they've just learned how to play. As if the music
wasn't enough (and it most certainly is), the packaging is also killer.
This Scopitones / Happy Happy Birthday To Me release is a deluxe double
vinyl album with some very cool minimalistic art. (Readers should note that
the two labels have also released Cinerama's Valentina album on vinyl
as well.) The folks in The Wedding Present continue making music that is
just as credible and incredible today as it was when they first started
making music. Highly recommended. TOP PICK.
