I was browsing through music blogs and found this gem of an album cover. That’s right. The cover. I haven’t actually listened to any of Micke Lindebergh, but this is possibly one of my favorite album covers that I’ve seen for a while.
It just goes to show in this stylized scene-world we live in, music is so much more than music.
UPDATE: The couple of songs I downloaded are pretty good. Sometimes, though, I wonder if I listened to an 80’s hits radio station half of indie music from today could be mistaken for the synthy, neon nonsense of that time. Also, I’ve seen a bunch more of album covers with this inset kind of design. However, the glitter and the island trump all (probably because I love glitter in all its infectious forms, and I’ve been playing Dead Island nonstop)
Oblivion (live) -Grimes
Dead trees make me lean towards more electronic sounds for some reason.
Pretty sure this sums up the reasoning behind OWS…
This article smells a little bit hipster to me.
First of all, the critic is not judging Florence by her musical talent (which is IMMENSE) at all and is simply critiquing the “scene” of mainstream music that claims to be “folk.” Although FATM definitely dabbles in some folk sentimentality, there is NEVER a claim of pure folk in either of her albums. They are all obviously produced and arranged in such a way to make them DRAMATIC not to make them down-to-earth.
I really don’t understand the bourgeois “feeding” that is going on here. Her music is obviously fantasy-tinged, but it has real emotion behind it. Shame on the critic for judging Florence on her upper-middle class background and upbringing. Judging the talent of one based on their past is ridiculous whichever side of the tracks they emerge from.
FATM is a taste of originality and pure, unrepentant talent in the mainstream sphere where lifelessness and robotic lyric spewing is the norm.
Jamming out. Hopefully I can take this lyrical advice, but mostly I just like listening to the badassery that is The Black Keys.
