Daniel Johnston - Daniel Johnston At Home Live


01. Kool Aid
02. The Spook
03. Bloody Rainbow
04. Silly Love
05. I Had a Dream
06. Love
07. Tuesday Waltz
08. I Hate Myself
09. And I Love You So (And I Can’t Let Go)
10. Mama’s Trying for Showland
11. History of Our Love
12. Try to Love
13. Wishing You Well

The title of the latest work of Daniel Johnston Daniel Johnston is titled At Home Live. Strange as this is a description that applies to almost 80% of their discography. And it's a nice little, that this recording Johnston feels like a return to his beginnings.

Lo-Fi no more power, work collects 13 songs that are within the least known of his catalog. Only "Silly Love" in Fun, it is possible that in some way and round in their iTunes. The rest while working man may sound new to their ears.

Sonorously sounds like a mockery of the concept of a live album. When the disc opens with "Kool Aid" is heard the constant barking of a dog, as if in some way to replace a public auditorium and at the same time plays with the cliché of the dog barking because of the music Desafinado. Better introduction to the distinctive sound of Johnston does not exist, it is curious that he had not used before.

The rest of the album feels like a trip to the past, completely away from the production of fine Fear Yourself, her latest album. Nostalgic fondly, like myself, feel very grateful.

Pete Doherty - Grace/Wasteland


1 Arcadie
2 Last of the English Roses 
3 1939 Returning
4 A Little Death Around the Eyes 
5 Salome 
6 Through the Looking Glass
7 Sweet By and By
8 Palace of Bone
9 Sheepskin Tearaway
10 Broken Love Song 
11 New Love Grows on Trees 
12 Lady, Don't Fall Backwards 


Pete Doherty, most notably known as a heroin junkie, then as the singer of Babyshambles and the Libertines, apparently has been working on a solo album slated for release on March 24 via Astralwerks. The album is calledGrace/Wasteland and the NME has gotten a listen, calling it "the most diverse album Pete has made by a long stretch." Considering his four albums have jocked the Clash and the Strokes unrepentedly, that can't be too hard, I imagine. Doherty was joined in the production of the album by the guitar work of Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, and the album was produced by Stephen Street, who produced Blur'sParklife, among other albums. There will be a single, called "Last Of The English Roses," out on March 2 in advance of the album, and the NME says it sounds like Gorillaz (yes!!!????).

Our Broken Garden - When Your Blackening Shows (2008)


We first met Our Broken Garden - Danish singer/songwriter Anna Broensted and cohorts - earlier in the year by way of their Lost Sailor EP, a understated collection of rustic melody and alt.folk made special by the singer's smoky, elfin voice. Drawing heavily on influences such as Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins and providing the ideal downtempo foil to Bella Union labelmates Howling Bells, it was a debut that suggested greater things were to follow. 

When Your Blackening Shows was conceived in an abandonded school in the Danish forests and wisely again uses Broensted's almost choral pipes to recreate that poignant sense of solitude and fragility. The problem is that the formula which made their debut a mildly diverting exercise in austerity simply doesn't stretch across a whole album. After The Blinding (Lost Sailor's standout) and the title track have slipped ephemerally by, the whole thing gradually glides to a graceful, but ultimately futile halt. The effect is a little like being smothered, in fact pssst - whisper it quietly unless some tweed-jacketed pseudo is loitering near you - it's actually pretty boring. 

There is proof that even those who resolutely ignore the mainstream will eventually have their day - see The Shins and Modest Mouse - but Broensted will need to explore a far more diverse musical backdrop to find the public adoration her beguiling voice deserves. -Andy Peterson

Kris Delmhorst - Shotgun Singer (2008)




On her last album, Kris Delmhorst took some of the most beautiful poems and some of the most gifted poets, and turned their inspiration into a collection of Americana tunes. Now, two years later, she's back to her own entirely original work, withShotgun Singer—a collection of songs that
 straddles a line between low-fi indie rock and contemporary roots. In terms of comparisons, it's a little bit Iron and Wine, a little bit Ani DiFranco.-Kim Ruehl
