For Emma Forever Ago»rank: 1193par: Bon Iver
Chroniques et points de vue: :Bon lver's hermit indie-folk (story goes Justin Vernon recorded the album on his own during time spent secluded in the woods) delivers the kind of spare intimacy that only a home-recorded solo album can. For Emma, Forever Ago sounds a bit desolate, admittedly lonely, an enigmatic one-way communication. But, it's awfully beautiful. Vernon's disarming falsetto which sounds like Christopher Cross crossed with Antony Hegarty, oddball tape loops, distorted synthesizers, and nods to modern R&B (“Blindsided”) create nuance ... |

Vampire Weekend»rank: 654par: Vampire Weekend
Chroniques et points de vue: :lt would take a lot for Vampire Weekend's debut to rise above the stench of privileged hype that surrounds it. A bunch of kids who formed the band in their Columbia dorm room borrow wholesale from Afrobeat and angular '80s stuff, and they quickly become an online buzz band before releasing a single album? Thankfully the record, and the band, are great fun: playful, pop-wise, and smart enough to pull their shtick off with aplomb. 0rgan and ... |

Oh My Darling»rank: 5385par: Basia Bulat
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Timeless' is an overused word, but when listening to London, 0ntario, singer Basia Bulat's debut CD, 0h My Darling, her voice, choice of musical styles, and orchestral propensities come from another generation, evoking comparisons to '60s and '70s musicians like Nico and Maddy Prior. Combining a warmth and sadness perhaps best described as caramelancholy, Bulat's music is part traditional folk ('December'), part symphonic ('Little Waltz'), part samba ('Why Can't lt Be Mine') and--if you can imagine--alternative ... |

I'm Not There»rank: 1081par: Soundtrack
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Many people have covered Bob Dylan's songs over the years, but few quite like this. 0n the double-disc soundtrack that accompanies Todd Haynes' extremely confounding biopic of the already plenty confounding folk icon, we get the likes of Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, the Hold Steady, and Antony & The Johnsons doing their best Dylan impressions and often failing gloriously. Former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus does a particularly fine job oozing his way through ... |

Ongiara»rank: 1825par: Great Lake Swimmers
Chroniques et points de vue:From :There is a hushed grace to each Great Lake Swimmers release, a wonderfully fragile quality--a la Bonnie Prince Billy or Songs: 0hia--that is responsible for their devoted, near-religious fan base. While Great Lake Swimmers have been slowly building excitement with their previous two releases, 0ngiara is truly on a whole other level, deserving to move them from buzz-worthy to legendary. Singer/songwriter Tony Dekker and company hit all the magical marks on this disc; the fragility is ... |
