M WARD / Migration Stories (2020.)
srijedom i subotom od 15 h
His 10th studio album is true to form, often lovely, perhaps too often familiar. There are reference points from across American music: John Fahey (Stevens’ Snow Man), a featherlight cover of the 1940s standard Along the Santa Fe Trail, and the perpetual sound of twangy guitars and reverbed vocals. But Migration Stories is at its most appealing when Ward stretches his legs a little, such as when he tiptoes around the edges of alt-rock and brings in synths on Unreal City, where his facility with melody and arrangement means he doesn’t sound like he’s stepping outside his comfort zone so much as pushing its boundaries outwards; or when he gives the ballad Real Silence a synthetic throb that pushes it gently in the direction of Cigarettes After Sex; or Independent Man, where lambent sax alters the mood.

Centro-matic – Take Pride in Your Long Odds (2014)
Novi se album Centro-matica javlja nakon skoro trogodišnje pauze (prethidnik, Candidate Waltz datira iz 2011.), i po riječima ključnog igrača Willa Johnsona, rezultat je glazbenih i tematskih dvojbi, odnosno razračunavanja brojnih u njemu sadržanih fiktivnih likova. Prividna je nedifiniranost prije rezultat samog postupka snimanja, pošto je ostatak benda onaj koji je Willove glazbene skice uobličavao u konačne pjesme, često se svjetlosnim miljama udaljavajući od njegove izvorne zamisli, no to je upravo ono što ovaj album, unatoč sveprisutnoj čvrstoći čini lepršavim i atmosferičnim!

Kad ime albuma odmah otkriva svu putenu mekoću materijala kojeg skriva. Vraga skriva. Perri ništa ne skriva.
MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO / Comet, Come To Me ( Naïve 2014. )
“That’s how I think of music, is just layers of patterns on top of patterns. And just the emotion of when you say something over and over again, to be understood.” Me’Shell Ndegéocello, Seattle 2014.
