Independent record label popantipop has announced plans to release the anxiously awaited full-length Dead Snares debut album Speak The Language on October 26th, 2010. Dead Snares is the artistic creation of Jeffrey Cain from the band Remy Zero. The album is a swirling surge of hypnotic beats with lyrics that are both seeking and foreboding. Moreover, they give a free mp3 to download the record 'City Sparks' from the new album. This song is very interesting that you want to listen more and more to discover.

One of the most complicated British musicians Morrissey's remastered reissue of 'Bona Drag' starts with a favourite song of mine which is 'Piccadilly Palare'. It is funny that I hear a woman in the underground, saying to her daughter 'Piccadilly', and the little girl finds the area name very funny, keep laughing to her mother. This song is not as funny as this little story but bitter.

Morrissey chose to write about a subject unusual in pop music, namely male prostitution around the Piccadilly area of London. The title of the song refers to cant slang language polari, first used by male prostitutes in the 19th century and was then taken up by homosexuals in the 1960s to disguise sexual predilections which were illegal in the UK until 1967.

Morrisey - Piccadilly Palare

The woman walks as fast as she can, and is carrying her small suitcase. She is waiting for the right train, she suddenly turns back and notices something but she doesn’t bother looking too much. Her body language tells that she is not interested in such a complicated, artistic art cover of the new Antony and the Johnsons album, ‘Swanlights’.

The transformation of a moth to a butterfly, like the transformation of a man to a woman in the first two records, ’Antony and the Johnsons’ (1998) and ‘I Am a Bird Now’ (2005), the experimental very independent music band gives us a very catchy album. At their highest point this reaches the epic emotional songs such as “Thank You for Your Love”, “The Great White Ocean” and the killer queen of the album “Fletta”, where singer Antony Hegarty meets with a creepy form of angel voice, Bjork.

Repeating ‘ Thank You’ for a hundred times on the first single and likewise his same obsession in repeating ‘Everything is New’ in the opener, Antony and The Johnsons blends all their skills up to this time, to produce their music flawlessly, releasing the best album of the year.

I lean against to the Swanlight art cover in the tube station, and went onto my train. There were this lyrics playing in my ears ‘When my mind was broken into a thousand pieces…’

Rating: 9/10
