I’ve mentioned here before what a huge fan of Sean Nicholas Savage I am and what an inspiration and influence he is on my own music and sensibility as such. So I’m happy to say that his new album Other Life is probably my favorite record that I’ve heard this year. It’s still streaming at Pitchfork Advance here: http://pitchfork.com/advance/115-other-life/

"I hope that the art of songwriting comes back. Right now it’s all about production. A lot of bands today are made up of producers that know how to manipulate sound, but can’t write a song to save their life. Side-chain compression takes precedence over interesting harmony. I don’t care if you have a beautiful reverb sound that you achieved by revamping your voice in a silo, or you made a wonky beat in Ableton using samples of your friend taking a dump. If there isn’t a song in there that takes chances melodically, harmonically, or structurally, then I can’t even hear it."

Love this guy, “The Prize” is totally killing me right now. I can’t wait for the new album.
“So he retired to the jealous privacy of his bedroom penning songs, picturing himself as Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb and Paul McCartney rolled into one. The very thought that secret preservation would protect the ‘strength’ of his songs led to the self-satisfying refuge in being unknown. ”

TRAVEL KYOTO - Dead End Town
En provenance de Portland, la pop électronique et délicieusement nostalgique de Travel Kyoto. Sa musique qu’il qualifie de Kitsh-wave, nous avait déjà séduit il y a un an avec le morceau “Tropical Eyes”.
Merci!

I don’t usually write songs about my real life or my feelings, but this one totally is…
