Stream Coldplay's Prospekt's March [EP]




If you've been out of the Coldplay loop recently, let me briefly catch you up. A new digital EP, Lost!, was released on 11/10. Another EP, Prospekt's March, is out today via Capitol, as well as a deluxe edition of the new release, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. Check that album art out below, along with a stream of the new EP. Finally, I read earlier today that Chris Martin thinks that all artists/bands shouldn't go past 33, which means Coldplay will call it quits in less than two years. See for yourself, here.

Brightblack Morning Light at The Hideout (11.22.08)




So I went out to the Hideout last night to see a band that I really dig, Brightblack Morning Light. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep track of the setlist, but I believe they played a good chunk of the new album; however, overall, I was left slightly confused. To be honest, I still don't know what to make of it. First, I arrived after eating a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with friends, so I was completely stuffed. Then the venue was super crowded, foggy, and a little hot, but I guess wearing two shirts, a sweater, and a coat didn't help. Then after suffering from a brief panic/anxiety attack or something I decided I should leave, however, while heading to the back I discovered a cooler of water and a fan. After quenching my thirst I decided to stick it out. Now as for the music, the electric piano (rhodes) was right on, the guitar/keys a little on the loud side, drums/congas/vibraphone/trombone a little on the quiet side, and then the vocals were just all wrong. Now, I am not sure what kind of effects were on the vocals, but they were just way too quiet and trebly, yet they vocal mic kept feeding back. I don't know, it was weird. Was it the band, or the venue? Again, I am still confused. Was anyone else there? What were your thoughts? Anyway, the new release, Motion To Rejoin, is out now via Matador and it's pretty fantastic.

Standout Tracks: Do You / Baby Blue Sky / Birthday Song


They are some pretty great songs on this record from Dana Falconberry, unfortunately though I'm not as impressed as I had hoped. Not that it is bad, I just think the best has yet to come and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Oh Skies Of Grey is out now via 2 Minutes 59.


* Album reviews are composed only after a few listens. Yes, opinions may change over time, but most first impressions (un)fortunately seem to hold true. I wish I was creative enough to write a proper review, but I've failed miserably in the past. Here's the next best thing, I hope.
