Grizzly Bear "Service Bell (feat. Feist)"




Today's Dark Was The Night track is an older Grizzly Bear tune, "Service Bell," which has been reworked and features vocals by Feist. I also thought this quote (via Gorilla vs. Bear) was quite interesting, "Never thought one of the first songs I wrote over 4 years ago would get the Feist treatment..." from Ed Droste's Twitter page. Anyway, Dark Was The Night is out 02/17 via Red Hot/4AD and again, this is an amazing compilation, produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National, to benefit the Red Hot Organization's AIDS charity.

Album Review: Loney Dear - Dear John




Loney Dear - Dear John


01. Airport Surroundings
02. Everything Turns To You
03. I Was Only Going Out
04. Harsh Words
05. Under A Silent Sea
06. I Got Lost
07. Summers
08. Distant Lights
09. Harm/Slow
10. Violent
11. Dear John





Standout Tracks: I Was Only Going Out / Summers / Harsh Words


Though I've been aware of Loney Dear for some time, I unfortunately have not started to pay attention until now. Vocally reminiscent of Jason Lytle or Midlake's Tim Smith, Emil Svanangen sings some lovely tunes that honestly are not as singer/songwriter folk inspired as I was expecting. Basically meaning most of the tunes have a little more of a pleasant electronic feel, for example in the opening track "Airport Surroundings." Anyway, Dear John is out today via Polyvinyl.

01. Up A Tree (Went This Heart I Have)

I basically enjoy any and everything that Mike Nau composes and I seem to have jumped onto the psych wave over the last year as well. Granted, most of these tunes aren't as upbeat as the old Page France material, but they are pretty soothing and fantastic. Paranoid Cocoon, is out today via Suicide Squeeze.
