Crane Wife»rank: 2580par: Decemberists
Chroniques et points de vue: :Capitol raised a few eyebrows when they signed indie stalwarts the Decemberists. There's nothing blatantly commercial about the Portland quintet, from Colin Meloy's quavery voice and hyper-literate lyrics to the band's wide-ranging music, which encompasses baroque pop, prog rock, and dozens of other styles. Then again, he did once sing, 'l was made for the stage,' and those who've seen the group live know this to be true. Sure, they're storytellers, but they're entertainers, too--just not in the Top 40 sense. Never ones to play it safe, their major label ... |

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank»rank: 4175par: Modest Mouse
Chroniques et points de vue: :Their last album may have given them a certifiable radio hit, airtime on VH1, and a Kidz Bop tribute, but listening to the follow-up to 2004's Good News for People Who Love Bad News, you might get the sense that the members of Modest Mouse are flinching at the spotlight. We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, the 0regon group's fifth full-length release, is denser than its predecessor with tunes that seem willfully harder to penetrate. Even the addition of former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr to the line-up seems ... |

The Reminder»rank: 113par: Feist
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:The Reminder, Feist's third release, comes from the same well of quiet, appealing songwriting, and delicate vocalizations that made 2004's Let lt Die such a sweet treat. This one is a bit more hushed and ballad heavy, closer to Cat Power than Peaches (with whom Feist has also worked with in the past) but maintains an indie-minded blend of confessional pop, jazzy folk, and lo-fi torch songs. The comparatively upbeat single 'My Moon My Man' splits her voice off into unexpected harmonies, just dissonant enough to stick in your head. ... |

A Weekend in the City»rank: 9755par: Bloc Party
Chroniques et points de vue: :Bloc Party may have arrived in an outbreak of like-minded British bands set upon shooting holes in the Union Jack while knocking out a sharp post-punk soundtrack, but it didn't take long for the foursome to set itself apart from the pack. Fronted by Nigerian-born singer Kele 0kereke, the group's 2005 debut, Silent Alarm, soared as much on crystal ambition as it did on ridiculously danceable pop melodies. This follow-up is darker, more cluttered, and harder to digest. That doesn't make it less striking. Exploring themes of racism, terrorism, sexuality, ... |

Some Loud Thunder»rank: 15126par: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Chroniques et points de vue: :Song titles like 'Upon Encountering the Crippled Elephant' and 'Satan Said Dance' might spell novelty act for some, but Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is simply a band with too many ideas. That's not a bad thing. Like the Brooklyn five-piece's self-titled debut, which became an enormous word of mouth hit with MP3 bloggers, this follow-up flies right from the start with its exuberant, oddly tuneful title track. lt sets the tone for an album that is devotedly all over the place. Frontman Alec 0unsworth still has a knack for ... |

Chutes Too Narrow»rank: 7315par: the Shins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The Shins' sophomore album is a joy from start to finish, though it's rather different from their 2001 leftfield pop genius stunner 0h, lnverted World. That album was like a warm embrace from a long-lost pal. True to its title, all of the songs were of a piece, seeming to inhabit one landscape, with an invitingly similar sound throughout. Chutes is more far-reaching and decidedly eclectic. Each song is essentially its own genre exercise. There's singer-songwriter James Mercer's surprisingly Perry Farrell-ish wail on the almost indie-metal opener, 'Kissing the ... |

Good The Bad And The Queen»rank: 11656par: the Bad & the Queen The Good
Chroniques et points de vue: :To open this oddball supergroup's debut, Paul Simonon hints at 'Guns of Brixton,' and when Tony Allen's flex rhythms come in, there's a shadow of Fela Kuti, too. Then Damon Albarn's slow grit of a voice enters--framed by Simon Tong's flecked guitar. And collectively, The Good, the Bad, & the Queen is quickly sui generis, adamantly different than anything you think you've heard. A band with this much power has at least two options: to cut loose raucously or to mute their overt power for a more covert, dub-inflected atmospheric ... |

Oh, Inverted World»rank: 5544par: the Shins
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:0h, lnverted World, the sun-baked debut album from Albuquerque indie quartet The Shins, signposts a fascinating change of direction for Sub Pop Records. Back in the early 90s, bands like Nirvana and Mudhoney made the name synonymous with the dark, angst-ridden grunge sound. Now, it would seem, Sub Pop wears a flower in its hair. The florid harmonies and bucolic acoustics of 'Caring ls Creepy' and 'Know Your 0nion' bring to mind a vision of the verdant hills and gleaming bays of California that's remained largely dormant since The ... |
