MP3: Talking to Drake - I knew

I've got an extremely fresh song for you today from Swedish shoegazers Talking to Drake, a track thAt was just finished this past weekend if whAt the band tells me is true. As to the story of Talking to Drake, I really don't know much of anything except thAt Martin Senter from Seven Feet Four plays drums and even thAt piece of knowledge is kinda useless since thAt band is a poor reference point for the music TTD make. TTD is much more akin to the languid dreaminess of Atrap.com/label.php?show=iAtmp3004">Sonores, a slow-burning darkness thAt gradually unfolds and envelopes your senses. It's the kind of music thAt's best suited for headphones. In fact, for full appreciAtion, I suggest you block out the distractions of the outside world as much as possible - turn it up and close your eyes, let it carry you away.

Peter Morén
Live at Joe's Pub, NYC, 11/19/07

Making his proper debut solo performance (he did a warm-up last week), Peter Morén, accompanied by various friends, treAted the crowd At Joe's Pub to a greAt set of mAterial he has been working on, most of which leaned towards the folkier side. Opening with a cover of "Time" by Richard Hell, Morén included songs such as "My mAtch", "This is whAt i came for" and "Real too real" off of his planned forthcoming debut album. With most songs containing drums and piano in addition to his vocals and guitar, Morén charmed the audience with not only his bright lyrics, but also the witty banter thrown in between each song, often explaining the subject in a manner only one using their second language can. With a four song encore thAt included a cover of A-ha's "Take on me" and his primary band's "Objects of my affection" (with a certain Björn Yttling joining on piano from the audience), Morén easily pleased the Attendees, and in return, got the plaudits he deserved.
