AA Bondy - American Hearts

New Yorker AA Bondy released a new album on September 18 entitled American Hearts.

Recorded and mixed in a month at The Red Barn in Palenville, NY in January 2007, American Hearts is dark and sardonic but it's not a claustrophobic, tortured not troubled as you'd expect. The record is actually quite beautifully stark and stripped-down and well played, filled with great melodies and warm production. The songs are wonderfully influenced by an amalgam of folk and blues, filtered through the mind of someone who knows what makes a great rock song breathe. (text from Insound)

If you're a huge fan of Damien Rice, José González, Dan Bern or Josh Ritter, perhaps you might want to listen to this.

Here's him playing Killed Myself When I Was Young, followed by American Hearts.

iLiKETRAiNS - Elegies to Lessons Learnt

iLiKETRAiNS is an English post-rock band formed in Leeds. They have recently released their very first studio length album entitled Elegies to Lessons Learnt.

I thought it would probably sound nicer if it's going instrumental, but with the vocals, it sounds fine too. iLiKETRAiNS is capable to bring your emotions to a destination at traveling speed, so fast that you can never imagine how fast you go. Those incredible range of frequency spins you around, gets you afloat on thin air just in seconds after listening to those great guitar riffs.

Most definitely, the outrageous unstably drum beats provided all the energy on the timing for terrifying climaxes.

If you're totally digging Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mono, Sigur Ros or Set Fire to Flames, be sure to give yourself a chance to discover the other part of post-rock music.

Here's one of their songs taken from this album, The Deception.



Can't get enough already? Here's another one for you, Spencer Perceval.



Still not enough?! Damn, you're so hard to be pleased! More videos and live gigs can be viewed here.

Beach Boys-inspired music, just a little electronic, a little more synthesizers, a little lo-fi, a little bit of Jens Lekman feel.


Coming soon this October 23.

Motion City Soundtrack - Even If It Kills Me

A little punk stuffs perhaps would make your day a brighter one, at least it makes you walk way more lively than sorrow-drowning tunes. American pop-punk Motion City Soundtrack is no stranger to all punk fans out there. They have released numerous EPs and albums and Even If It Kills Me is their third. The album is co-produced by Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger.

Even If It Kills Me is one pop-influenced album, with catchy tunes and glittering beats that symbolizes the greatest blend between punk and pop, into one. Highly compared with other bands like Death Cab For Cutie, Green Day, All American Rejects, Weezer and Fall Out Boy. So if you're anywhere close being obsess to these bands, it's the right choice for you.

Listen to This is For Real, It Had To Be You, The Conversation and Even If It Kills Me.

T.I Arrested for Weapon Charges

Rapper T.I was arrested earlier on multiple weapon charges in Atlanta last week, right before the BET Awards when he was supposed to be scheduled to perform. According to the authorities, the ex-felon asked his bodyguard to purchase firearms for him. The arrest caused him to miss the BET event, where he was that evening's most nominated artist, and had even won two awards.

The last we heard, he was denied bail. So the question is, is he innocent?

Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha

Another priority recommendation from us will be Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha album, released earlier this year. This is his tenth, also the first studio album aside from his other releases previously. Some of the tracks from this album are improvised versions of his older tracks from his previous albums.

He's got great vocals, mildly mellow, at the same time, the energy voice strikes the tympanic membrane with fine tunes causing it irritation-free. At times it catches your spirit and floats along with it as the music runs on your player - notable songs that send you high up the sky; the saddened laidback Armchairs, beat-ridden catchy chorus feet tappin' Fiery Crash, and the leg draggin' instrumental electronic track Yawny At The Apocalypse.

If you like Sufjan Stevens, M. Ward, Beirut or The Decemberists, you can consider getting this album too.

This is Bird performing Plasticities on the Letterman show.



The next one is the music video of Imitosis directed by Britta Johnson.



SGK verdict: 8.7/10
