Matangi M.I.A’s “Paper Planes” was no mere hit song: it was a cultural entity that rose from obscurity to take a prominent place in TV and movies, helping to define and reflect the cultural mood of much of 2008. While some artists never experience said phenomenon in their entire career, Ms. Arulpragasam scored a second, slightly diminished return w...
Slaughterhouse The prolific Ty Segall released three full-length albums, a live LP, and a split EP in 2012 alone. As he drops record after record, you can hear him developing as a songwriter, growing weary of old sounds and striving for new ones. That was his intent behind forming the Ty Segall Band and recording a song like “Wave Goodbye”. It’s on...
Love Will Prevail For the first four-fifths of its duration, “Garden of Delights” takes us to the darkest of corners that Cult of Youth frontman Sean Ragon offers on his post-industrial project’s second LP, Love Will Prevail. For almost three minutes, the bass line grooves away on a doomed-out E minor riff, the tension slowly accumulates, and Ragon...
Mixed Emotions At my part-time retail job, “All of Me” plays almost every single day amidst Christmas tunes, easy listening, and “classic rock.” While the song might be more “fitting room” than radio-hit, it without a doubt has the potential to be the latter. Tanlines’ album was a long time coming from an EP and some live appearances, but “All of M...
Civil Disobedience for Losers A song that begins with the smack of a gong can only get better from there. The Canadian riff-rock duo bring Stonehenge-levels of hard rock, packing in elements of speed metal, bloozy guitars, and a healthy dose of schlock. As much as Indian Handcrafts borrow from the likes of Iron Maiden, Motörhead, or even Satan’s H...
Old Ideas Old Ideas’ “Come Healing” won’t be covered by the masses, featured in teen soap operas, or soundtrack weird Zack Snyder-directed sex scenes. But don’t let its lack of oncoming ubiquity fool you. “Come Healing” is one of the most beautiful songs in Cohen’s catalog, and from that beauty comes its strength. The traditional gracing of the all...
On his first official solo cut after returning to Odd Future, Earl ditched the stomach-churning rape jokes that peppered his 2010 debut in favor of a more introspective yet no less mesmerizing flow. Behind an ice-cold piano line, he touched on his absent father, his big brother/little brother connection with Tyler, and his strained relationship wit...
(III) She loves you, she hates you, she’s just not into you. The eyes give it all away. Even a veiled woman “can’t disguise / sad eyes.” But she can certainly sneak somber lyrics into a toe-tapper. Alice Glass first sang about “sad eyes” in her debut studio session during “Alice Practice”. She now revisits this weepy motif on the danciest track off...
Heaven In their 12-year career, The Walkmen have audibly matured from New York roustabouts to mature family men, as stunningly evidenced on the title track to their latest, Heaven. Judging from the photo of the guys and their kids on the disc’s back cover, Hamilton Leithauser’s silvery croon to “remember all we fight for” acts as a rallying call to...
God Forgives, I Don’t Before Bawse was Bawse, his lyrical skills were entry-level. Things done changed over the years of many Ross releases, and though 2012 saw one fantastic mixtape, one halfway decent major release, and another highly questionable mixtape, Ross’ fire on the God Forgives, I Don’t single “So Sophisticated” ranks as one of his top p...
