02.25.09O+S haunt the halls on their etherial self-titled debut.There's a tricky dissonance that wafts through the undercurrent of the most beautiful recordings I've listened to in my life. It's the unexpected collaborations or spellbinding accidents of circumstance that unite elements into original flavors. The illogical syllogisms in music are the ones that surprisingly seem to work the best. Such is the case of O+S, whose self-titled debut will be released via Saddle Creek Records on March 24th.

02.23.09Don Blackman’s self-titled soul-funk odyssey still bumps.Through time and circumstance, a lot of what record fans consider to be "classic" falls by the wayside. Such is the fate of the critically-acclaimed and oft-sampled solo album by soul master, funk pioneer and session mastermind Don Blackman. This 1982 record is still available as an import for a whopping $39.99 in the U.S. However, it's worth every cent of that and more. Flawless keyboard arrangements and vocals, tight funky-basslines, synth and Moog progressions that are unlike anything you're likely to hear anywhere else, the album transcends its out-of-print status on repeated listenings. Funk fans, take ...

02.23.09The Whitest Boy Alive: the inimitable Erland Oye and co. return to teach us the Rules.An observation: I think if Erlend Oye were a type of fabric, he’d be a smooth vinyl suede. After all, the Norwegian crooner has made his career out of experimenting with various combinations of the synthetic and the smooth. The latest of these efforts is Rules, the second release from The Whitest Boy Alive, due out on Bubbles in March. The Berlin-based group’s 2007 debut, Dreams, was about as close as dance-rock can come to producing a concept album; the stripped-down guitar/bass/drums/vocals galvanized by spare, funky rhythmic consistency made for an album as danceable as it is listenable. This sophomore ...
