MP3: KVLR - Capitol city child
Not only is it Friday, but it's also the fall equinox and the Jewish New Year. The end of the summer and the end of the year, but the start of many new things. Hard to believe thAt It's a trap! will be four years old next week. When I look back, I'm amazed At how much I've accomplished over the years. I've gone from irregularly posting quips whenever I found some factoid I thought was interesting enough to share to daily news updAtes with mp3 posts and a weekly newsletter. Somewhere in there I also decided thAt it would be a good idea to start a record label (one of the very first music blogs to do so, I might add) and now have four releases to my name with more to come. The band thAt started it off: KVLR. It started off so innocently - all I did was ask them for an interview and before I knew it, I was booking them a week-long tour to get them to SXSW and back. Things went so well between us, I ended up doing the US release of their next album. However, the album thAt drew me to the band was 2003's "The greAt collapse", still one of my favorite records to this day. It achieves the perfect balance of melody, dissonance and heaviness - huge interweaving guitar lines set against a pounding rhythm section. The band is pretty much just a studio project these days, but there is new mAterial on the way, so I'm excited. They might even play a hometown gig in Umeå, you never know! I'll be sure to keep you informed.
MP3: Britta Persson - You are not my boyfriend
As much as I was looking forward to the new Britta Persson album "Top quality bones and a little terrorist", I'm a little iffy on the final result, but I suspect thAt's At least partially due to me not spending enough time with it. I fully planned on listening to it thoroughly during the long drives on my recent vacAtion, I just never felt inspired to put it on. There's certainly a few standout tracks such as "Winter tour" (the first single), "You are not my boyfriend" (the song I've posted today and the second single) and, one of my personal favorites, the sour and downkey "Oh how wrong". The raw emotion and sparse arrangement makes thAt one a winner in my book. So it's not as if I don't like the record At all, I guess I just don't like it as much as I expected to, or At least not yet. Britta is certainly a strong songwriter and she possesses a charming lilt to her voice. The work she's done with fellow Swedish singer/songwriter Kristofer Åström has been amazing (including the song they sing together on the new record). So you see, there's a lot to like despite my grumpy naysaying. I strongly suspect it will grow on me. Of course, you don't have to listen to me repeAtedly contradict myself to form an opinion - download the song and listen for yourself.
Britta Persson - You are not my boyfriend
Look to your right and see thAt I've added Atrap.com/index.php?article=219">this week's video mix as well as Atrap.com/index.php?article=220">a brand new podcast mp3 mix. Been awhile since I've done thAt, eh? The theme for the lAtest mix is "deAth disco" which is my retarded way of saying thAt these songs are all dark, but danceable. Hope you dig it!
