would start with twelve songs, all outputs more or less this year ... Yeah Yeah Yeahs
- Hysteric - from It's Blitz! (2009)
Yes, I'm a fan of Karen O (see above picture), singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs excessive.
Even when the music is a brand of shoes .
It's Blitz! for me to be the best album of 2009. Produced by Nick Launay (Public Image Ltd., Gang of Four, Jam) and David Andrew Sitek (TV on the Radio) runs on structures and equipment which have been settled this year: great use of synthesizers in style eighties declined nth used in power and massive overlap.
Probably the guitarist Nick Zinner has also made some sacrifice to give up his usual sharp riffs, which here are often filtered out by ultra-sound synthetic, but I think it was worth it.
not waive the right to enter ballads like Hysteric where Karen O barb to express the best of her voice even softer than expected (go get the album version with the four acoustic versions). It 'my favorite piece. But the first single Zero and the hypnotic Shame and Fortune not be outdone.
Editors - Papillon - from In This Light and On This Evening (2009)
Similarly to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, although on an area of \u200b\u200bless tension between groups alternative the Editors of these years are among the few who had the courage to make a significant stylistic change their sound, invading their rock "wave" of bulky but powerful edged synthesizers and leaving a little 'aside for a time the guitars (which I had seemed a bit' pushy in their successful previous album). All of this is to forget the perhaps excessive emphasis on voice, which is also an expression of their figures.
viewed live with my kids a month ago. In concert with them, one of the best things of 2009.
Florence + the Machine - Girl with Eye On - from Lungs (2009) A
blues rock with the beautiful and powerful voice of Florence Welch and her Machine. It sentirermo speak, as is veering from the alternator to pop.
Pearl Jam - Just Breath - from Backspacer (2009)
Backspacer is a record that can be appreciated after repeated listening. I especially like the songs in half album. Just Breath is the ballad that plays in the morning to start the day.
" I do not want to hurt. There's so much in this world That makes me bleed (...) Just Breath "Just breathe. Here also the vivo.
U2 - Breathe - from No Line On the Horizon (2009
I saw U2 live in San Siro. I had fun but nothing more (it was far more important to be there with my son) . The spectacle of gigantism aracnideo I was not entirely convinced. well, I learned to appreciate the album produced by Eno and Lanois after each listen. These are the textures and layers of sound that envelop most of the songs to make a difference. Eno is no coincidence that the first sign all the compositions, demonstrating a crucial creative participation.
Breathe is my song of the album. Nestled in the penultimate over there instead of the CD, including the two ballads, explosive and has a lot of melodic urgency, just like I do. Here also in the brilliant David Letterman Show where Bono has shown that the voice still has it, and how.
And here, too: "Breathe" ...
Little Shop of Horrors - Our Father - from In Cold Blood (2009)
not sound so many in Italy. The very particular vocal Pierpaolo Capovilla (the only comparison, with the necessary distinctions, Carmelo Bene), the sound is a wall of sound edgy and uncompromising. The texts , direct and disurbanti. I'm the Little Shop of Horrors.
Our Father is my favorite song (De André has a lot under the skin), but the song that is perhaps most impressed, thanks to the co-production with the Bloody Beetroots that makes the sound very electronic, is different directorates. But do not listen if you are in crisis with your beautiful " would have been nice to grow old together. Life pushes us towards different directions (...) How do you miss the love ... .
Fabri Fibra - Inglese speack! From Who Wants To Be Fabri Fibra .... (2009) Fabri Fibra
is a controversial performer, capable of causing unconditional admiration and repulsion.'s hard to find an over-30 who speak well, the less if parent (when the mother of a friend of my son said to me, let me meet Fabri Fibra what did I say four). Just because of his ability to unsettle, to make social commentary but also to accept the mechanism of marketing in spite of certain prejudices pseudo progressives, the ability to clear with "style" 's "ignorance" and the sexism that pervades us, for the ability to sustain head on his arrogance (in this very hip hop), but mainly for its creativity and maturity in the lyrics and match them to build backing tracks very effective, I find that speack Inglese! piece that is in addition to having accompanied my summer song is worthy of note.
Kid Kudi - Make Her Say - by Man on the Moon ... (2009) (no decent video available on the net ...)
A kind of revelation that hip hop album by Kid Kudi. Abandoned (finally) the gangsta rap here is this young African-American intellectual who - while it is inserted fully into the hip hop movement (it is a protege of Kanye West) - retrieves sounds much better in Europe and offers a varied and enjoyable album, full of diverse influences, with minimal arrangements but also with extensive use of strings and electronics and melodic choruses. E 'from the time of De la Soul that I enjoyed it with a hard soul . The passage in question is fun using the sampled voice of none other than that the Joker ... Lady Gaga and it is strange that it has not had more commercial success.
Wolfmother - 10,000 Feet - by Cosmic Egg (2009)
few like Wolfmother can synthesize so hyperbolic in the history of rock'n'roll. Led Zeppelin, Iron Maden, Deep Purple, the speed of punk, but also Queens of the Stone Age (listen Phoenix ). The difference is that today as a great producer Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) mixes distorted guitar with some electronic samples, the effect lifts off the chair on which you sit. Sound
more than brilliant, guitars hot, perfect production. Not for gourmets, but to listen at full volume in the headphones with lashes of guitars from permanent deafness.
Oasis - Falling Down - from Dig Out Your Soul (2008)
begins as a ballad at the Oasis with melodic and rhythmic deadlift worthy of the best of both Gallagher and then touches the distortion. Yet it is a perfect pop song. But this is my favorite video, masterful in its decadence and contemptuous view of the British royal world of the aristocracy (with a cameo as authorized by Prince Charles who knows ...) and with the cynical eye of two brothers who did not even deign Sad to say goodbye to the Princess. Musically, what strikes
most is the quality of amalgam of sounds, layers of sounds that overlap.
La Roux - In For The Kill - from Laroux (2009). Pop
pure and simple, silly and spocchiosetto. Laroux I am a female duo with a frontman who looks like a tomboy frangettone bimbominchia face slaps. A dip in the 80's techno pop (Soft Cell, Depeche Mode first) with melodic hooks and irresistible synth "mosquito" a go-go. The videos are a mixture of kitsch, gaudy colors, clothes unlikely, environments and architectures crooked Blade Runner. Not bad
the other single Bulletproof , a Dadaist and a half video half Tron.
Kerli - Walking on air - from Love is Dead (2008). In the same vein
pop charts, the song contains a nice Kerli germ anxiety electro pop sound. She a lot 'Mary Poppins bimbaminchia to spank, but the synthesizers and the chorus I like it a lot.
