[Folk, Sub pop] Fleet Foxes-Helplessness Blues

To say honestly when I started writing this post, I was not expecting, that i will listen this record already after two days.( In the begging this post was about Fleet Foxes new video) Everybody know, that official release of Helplessness Blues will be on May 3rd 2011(03/05/11).If you heard Fleet Foxes S/T album, I'm sure you'll understand  how I was waiting for their new album, and can you imagine my surprise when I found Helplessness Blues online for free(03/04/11), one month before official release.First off, a couple notes on the release of Helplessness Blues. Anyway,if you will find a way to download an album for free, do it, but it's gonna be more honest, if you will pre-order there album, because guys really deserve all the support they can get.

Robin Pecknold-Fleet Foxes' frontrmen, knows that the leak has happened, and on his Twitter he  even wrote, that he is happy, there's a good quality version out there.

From the first track, we can already hear, that Pecknold and Co. were really working on their new album.They tried not to fall below the level of the first album, and it is not easy task.

Helplessness Blues wears its influences on its sleeve. 

60′s folk pop, some kind of light psychedelic,straight blues weave throughout the record. It sounds really spring, and I want to say - April is a right month for a release, as you can remember their S/T album was such a winter album.

I don’t want to get into a complete song-by-song breakdown. 

I really don't want to discuss each song from the album, every song on here is unique, and you can write about it individual post.

So, what can I tell you about Helplessness Blues, it's awesome, Fleet Foxes fulfilled their mission. I'm listening to this album already for the third time, all the time while I was writing post, I was listening to it. Perfect album!

[hip-hop] Hocus Pocus Feat. Oxmo Puccino - Equilibre

Two weeks ago French Jazz-Hop band from Nantes, Hocus Pocus finally released a video on song Equilibre from the last album "16 pièces". Chill music, nice text, and of course the French, which gives the charm always, enjoy!

[electronic, trip-hop, instrumental] The Insane Warrior - We Are the Doorways

I guess everybody heard about RJD2, or at least heard his songs, several of them were even soudtracks to Hollywood movies, but today I want to tell you about his side-project which called The Insane Warrior.

Insane warrior sounds completely different when you compare it with RJD2, but if you're familiar with the music Rambels, you're likely to hear John's emphasize.

In a weblog posting on his website, RJ wrote:" In ways, you can think of The Insane Warrior as an entirely different dude.Like that part at the end of The Adventures of Link, when you fight that inverted version of yourself. It`s funny; when I started making records, I toyed with the idea of renaming myself every time I released an album, cause I always liked the idea of an artist trying to reinvent themselves on each album. Obviously, I didn't. This album is kind of an incarnation from an alternate universe where that IS happening; that's how I'd like you to think of it, really. Off somewhere inconceivable is The Insane Warrior."

By the way, for my point of view this album is one of the best albums of winter 2010-2011, so I hope you will enjoy it!

[Dubstep, Future Garage, Ambient] Clubroot

Dan Richmond aka Clubroot was a bad student in school and a creepy dreamer. The second aspect is very evident in his work. I guess I will not give out any particular album or release. Almost every one of his tracks are worthy of attention.

[OFWGKTA,Hip-Hop] Hodgy Beats & Domo Genesis - Tang Golf

In May 2010, the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All collective released the Radicalmixtape. And it was probably the closest thing they have done to a typical hip-hop mixtape as it featured the MCs spitting over a selection of industry beats. This time Hodgy Beats just released a new track with Domo Genesis called “TangGolf”.Pretty dope stuff, check it out!

[Minimal, Deep House, Techno] Nicolas Jaar-Space is only noise

 In the end of the last year there was already information in internet, about the up comming debut album of young musician from USA Nicolas Jaar.

Nicolas Jaar just made something fascinating. Space Is Only Noise isn't techno, but it feels a little bit like techno.This music is for listening, and not for dancing, working or anything else. You should give this album, just a quite room and one hour of your free time and it will blow your mind. Jazz flourishes and four-four kicks and spaced out, warped vocals make this a strange varied listen.

Nicolas album express all that he has accumulated over two years. This is an honest tribute to American house with an admixture of disco, funk and jazz. The mood is really depressing - lonely streets, rain, cold autumn. Space Is Only Noise is an album of atmospherics and it pursues pure sound and feeling at the expense of all else.

[OFWGKTA, Hip-Hop] Hodgy Beats – Mystery

Everybody know Odd Future now, damn. I remember spring 2010 when I saw Earl's video on youtube, I was so impressed , god damn. And now? Each second hipster knows who is Tyler, the Creator, it's a little bit annoying, don't you think so?

But whatever, today Hodgy Beats released his new track called Mystery, to say honestly i was positivity surprised, perfect beat, not fast rapping, everything what I like, btw the sample, if you’re wondering, derives from the legendary English Rock outfit Moody Blues! Odd Future look really unstoppable, waiting for a Tyler's new album - "Goblin".
