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. ... |

Wincing The Night Away»rank: 9726par: Shins
Chroniques et points de vue: :lndie-rock's hardest-working slackers finally release their third album, on which they've made the clear transition from bedroom-pop to stadium-rock without losing everything that makes them great. Those soaring vocals that sound like the unholiest collision of the Cure and Simon and Garfunkel, the nimble pop hooks that are never overused, those lyrics that are as self-deprecating and razor sharp as they are playful--dude, it's all still here. Relax, you can still swoon. Musically, there are some new elements, from the ragged surf-rock that propels 'Pam Berry' to the near hip-hop ... |

Good News For People Who Love»rank: 1268par: Modest Mouse
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt's hard to pinpoint the exact moment Modest Mouse started sounding like a real band. For the longest time, singer-songwriter lsaac Brock seemed to exist solely to defy the established rules, forging forward on sheer momentum and ingenuity. Even Pavement looked relatively ordinary in comparison to the band's early releases like 1996's This ls A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About and 1997's The Lonesome Crowded West. But on Good News For People Who Love Bad News, the front man sounds like he's finally touching the ... |

Icky Thump»rank: 3300par: the White Stripes
Chroniques et points de vue: :Bagpipes, a song written as the soundtrack to a Michel Gondry music video, Patti Page's musical shadow, and Jack and Meg co-narrating a scavenger's rummages: lt must be time for lcky Thump, the many-flavored riposte to 2006's Get Behind Me Satan. The duo starts big with the title track--Jack's fast-tumbling, falsetto-tinged lyrics jagging on hyper keyboard-sounding segues and Meg's pounding drums. They rarely shy from an idea, invoking acoustic Bob Dylan to frame '300 M.P.H. Torrential 0utpour Blues,' but interjecting a series of distortion-laden guitar paroxysms for good measure. The ... |

Our Love To Admire»rank: 4415par: Interpol
Chroniques et points de vue: :Moving up to a major label has hardly lifted lnterpol's spirits. This is a good thing. Even with the twisted Wild Kingdom album cover and bassist Carlos Dengler's unexpected Wild West makeover, on its third studio album the black-clad New York quartet still sounds inflexibly menacing, grasping tighter than ever to its doomy post-punk influences and delving further into frontman Paul Banks's emotional unrest. Everything sounds a little bigger and brighter, sure, but at their core songs like 'Rest My Chemistry' and 'Wrecking Ball' are heroically sinister, goaded on by ... |

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, ... |

Sound Of Silver»rank: 2324par: Lcd Soundsystem
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Two years after LCD Soundsystem's eponymous full-length debut sent indie scenesters rushing to the dancefloor, the outfit headed by dance-rock producer James Murphy serves up another stiff cocktail of punk, dance, and funk with Sound of Silver. Analog synths, chugging basslines, chunky guitars, and Murphy's wild falsetto excursions are once again the foundation to which is added the new and strange, such as the heavily chorused voices that suggest backward-masking in the opener 'Get lnnocuous' and the captivating harmonics keyboardist Nancy Whang bounces off of Murphy's vocals on 'Someone ... |

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 ... |

Cassadaga»rank: 3714par: Bright Eyes
Chroniques et points de vue:From : 0n their sixth and most straightforwardly clean album, Nebraska's Bright Eyes once again integrate a revolving cast of players to the mix, including Portland tunesmith M. Ward and alt-country queen Gillian Welch. But the band remains at the helm of forever-wunderkind Conor 0berst, and the fruitful songwriter has one-upped 2005's l'm Wide Awake, lt's Morning with a proficient and accessible ensemble of expansive pop orchestrations and ornate folk songs that chronicle his traverses across the American panorama. 0berst's voice quakes and wanders through South Dakota lore and Sunshine ... |
