Graham Lindsey:Hell Under the Skullbones - New Album

Recommended
Rating:7/10
Modern Music Album Review

Melancholic,Dizzy,Reposeful
I've been listening Grahan Lindsey's new release "Hell Under the Skullbones" for days.
The new folk album which is full of great vocal performances, folk guitar melodies, alternative country tunes.Album is produced by Steve Deutsch and dedicated to Adrian Hill.

We see in this album great songwriting and singing performance the origin
of the naturalism in the lyrics can be marked, it feels like true events
taken from real life.Lyrics are pathetic and emotional - The album includes tasty songs.

Opening track 'Matchbook song' is only one of the reason to love this album.
It's very hard to adore to a folk album at your first listen. But 'Hell under the skullbones' breaks this rule. Because Graham Lindsey's charismatic voice, which is very similar with Bob Dylan, is growing on you fast.

Songs like "Deathtrip Blues", "Elly Bly", "Jusk like Past" show us Graham's
perfect rhythm in his singing success.
From lyrics of "Just like bust":
Cause I've been honest I've been kind
I've been waiting all my life
but so sadly I so badly have to go...

Lyrics are part of life, This material makes "Hell under the scullbones" more natural.
Light-headed songs soon came out of its shell,this makes you to became infatuated.

Electric guitarists of this record are terrific(James Harrah,Greg Leisz,Moris Tepper).
Guitars are so impressive and giddy.

This album is truly one of the succesful folk rock album of 2006. For sure,
Graham Lindsey is going to be Modern Music's the most impressive new artist.
If you're fan of folk music,you'll love "Hell under the skullbones" at first listen.

The dB's - Stands for Decibels


Album of the day
The dB's were a power pop group of the late 1970s and 1980s.
Their energetic jungle pop sound makes everyone singing along with them.

Modern Music Deep Review:
In their debut "Stands for Decibels","Big Brown Eyes","Dynamite","The Fight","Cycles per Second","Bad Reputation" are truly hits of the album."Big Brown Eyes" reflects ambiance of 80s.when it's your first album,you're ambitious and determined.So it's a big opportunity to record your best..Maybe their name is simple but their music is unforgetable.I love to listen them with R.E.M. and other College Rock bands.

The album stands not only as a landmark power-pop album, but also as a prototype for much of the Southern jangle that would follow.

For Music Collectors (alternative,indie rock)


Chutes Too Narrow is a 2003 album by indie rock group the Shins. The album was generally well received by critics, garnering an overall score of 88/100 on Metacritic."Gone for Good" was used in the 2004 film, In Good Company.

Life On Other Planets is the fourth album from English rock band Supergrass which is growing on me with their latest great album "Road to Rouen".Actually they're not same with other Brit pop bands.This band is good to your soul.

Is that a joke?It can be b side album it sounds like a complication album.Also Pixies is a legend band of mid-80's.Breeders isn't as well as Pixies but still remarkable music.Breders ,Originally formed as a side project for the Pixies' bassist Kim Deal, The Breeders quickly became her primary recording outlet.
Storytelling is the soundtrack that cult heroes Belle & Sebastian created to accompany Todd Solondz's controversial film of the same title

Pixies - Complete b sides
Supergrass - Life on other planet
Breeders - Last splash
Shins - Chutes too narrow
Belle and sebastian - Storytelling
Better than ezra - Compilation

Darker My Love

Underground Archive
Dark side of indie rock unites with Darker My Love
Darker my love is an indie rock band from CALIFORNIA.
Great band name and different sound.They're not discord.
Musics are more noticeable within "Summer is here".They're holding guitars on the foreground.It's very succesful and you can hear all the great guitar spinnings with this little trick.

"Hellium Heels" may scare you.'This song hasn't got the power' But probably you would be
wrong by saying that.It's the first impact.Some songs grow on you after a few
listen.So i listened this song two times more.It really has the power with
noisy guitars and dark vocals.The song has great opening and closing.

"Sleep within you" is quite amazing song.It describes the sound of "Dark My love".
If you're looking some dark indie music,Dark My love will be lovely choice.
You can listen ,find more info @ here

The Vines - Highly Evolved


Album of the day
Hailed by a growing number as "the future of rock," the Vines are more a conglomeration of the best of the past. The Sydney, Australia, quartet sounds alternately like Nirvana, the Beatles, T. Rex, and even the Beach Boys (and, at times, all of those blended together). On Highly Evolved they present 12 flawlessly crafted songs, each one living up to the title of the album and first song.

The hi-octane Highly Evolved drops down into the dreamy Autumn Shade which is just what you’d expect – a melancholic kickabout through piles of leaves in your head. And then they’re off again, cranking it up with Outathaway!, a shouty rant of a rock song stuffed with exclamation marks.

In its tender moments, the album shines with 60s psychedelia and moments of pure musical finesse. When it rocks, it really rocks. Highly Evolved isn’t Sergeant Pepper, nor is it Nevermind. But the Vines are growing.

Paul Weller - Catch Flame

Live Paul Weller Album
I haven't seen Paul Weller's bad song,album,project or composition.Obviously
Paul Weller is one the most important singer/songwriter.

His solos are flawless and he had been in a band which was very succesful
in punk scene.And also his unbelievable changings with Style Council...Jazz-pop,
punk,soul,house,adult alt is there another style in music?So that shows us
his influences like Traffic,Marvin Gaye,The Kinks add lots of newness and original
styles his music.

After winning the coveted Outstanding Contribution To Music Award at this
years Brits Award Paul Weller is ready to set the music scene ablaze with
the release of his live album. Entitled 'Catch – Flame!', it was recorded
at London's Alexandra Palace on the 5th December 2005.

Did you listen his latest album "As Is Now".I'm sure you'd listened.
But if you don't you have to give some credits his solo albums.

Modern music Picks:Wishing On A Star
I've been listening his last live album 'Catch Flame' and today i picked
song named 'Wishing On A Star' which is one of his standout work.I can
rate "Catch Flame" 10/10 because it's very memorable live album.He intensified
his talents on music thoroughly ,it's quite open for a fan of him.

Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual:great rock album

Modern Music Flashbacks
Classic great album of American rock band Jane's Addiction.The record is formed Alternative, Funk-Rock tunes.

Perry Farrell's flying vocals meet with incredible guitar rhythms. There are albums which include completely good songs.'Ritual de lo Habitual' ranks easly top 100 greatest rock albums.

"Been Caught Stealing" is a known song which was later featured in 2000's Gone in Sixty Seconds film.

"Classic Girl" my favorite one actually that i had found some similarity with Bruce Springfield's "Shes The One".
"Obvious" is another amazing piece.Very efective album,you can see some sudden
guitar changings and it really rocks."No One's Leaving," "Obvious," and "Of Course"
prove integral in the makeup of the album.Jane's Addiction's best work stands
right here.

Modern Music 80s:Japan

What, then, is time?
“If you don’t ask,
I know. If I have to
explain, I do not
know.”
There seems to
want to be a uniting of perfection of thought
and feeling with perfection of form, resulting
in a subjectivity that takes you beyond the
ordinary self towards a confrontation with the
ideal self… so?
“So? Fear not to be young, precocious, hurry on,
if there is somewhere you can hurry on…”
Do you remember the last time?
“Yes, this now seems to be the right time. The last time
obviously wasn’t. But I did enjoy the conversation, even
though I could tell you were a little hostile.”
Then no-one gave you a piece of chance.
“Oh no, if you make mistakes around here it’s diffi cult
to ever escape. I know the fi rst album is rubbish, that all the hype that went with it was just wrong, but we were just fi ve boys, naive and trying to get something together.” When did you develop a self-consciousness about
what you were actually doing, a feeling towards what could have been done?
“After ‘Life In Tokyo’ I was in New York for about a month, and it was a real depression, looking back on what I’d done and disliking everything. From the appearance of the band to the people we’d worked with to the music itself. Just horrible.

“We talked about splitting, although we were getting on together fi ne. I started writing songs in a new way, on keyboards, which made a whole difference. Something as simple as that changed things around, everything sounded more mature, and there was a great change in
approach and attitude.”What was it about the adopted appearance that you hated?

Somewhat ashamed of
being attached to an
outmoded gimmick,
Japan have been
recently attempting to pass the parcel, as it were, by singing lots of songs about Red China. This one is about ‘Ghosts’ of no particular persuasion; you know what it sounds like.David Sylvian has a bellyache and so we all have to hear about it. Jayne Mansfield once suggested to her manager that they bottle the Mansfi eld urine and sell it to her star-struck fans. Well, David Sylvian bottles bellyaches and (sometimes) idiots buy them. Men shouldn’t read books – knowledge
makes them miserable…Read more

I sometimes wonder if "art for art" is a good purpose in life. For many artists, this looks like the way. Blonde Redhead refuses...
