It only just dawned on them what the rest of us have known for a long time. They were born to do this. This is what they do. They write songs, record them and tour. That's their work. Hence Work, the album title of their third album They've had some time off. A six month break to regroup, see other things, places and people. Work on a tan, work on love and life. Bebban did so in Los Angeles and Adam in Melbourne. Carl, Ted and Eric remained in Stockholm. And when they got together again they knew that this is what they do, and that this is what they will continue to do. You don't know what you've got til it's in Melbourne sort of thing… Adam wrote many songs down there, in a tiny room, with a little synthesizer, an acoustic guitar and garageband on his laptop. He passed them on to the others who listened closely from their corners of the world, questioning and challenging him – like a good band should – until the songs that make up Work had all passed the test, made the cut and lived to tell the story... The song Walls came first and then the rest, one by one, brick by brick if you will, whilst the Australian trams passed by outside. It's interesting though, how the last album (Our Ill Wills) was all about travel – from the song titles down to the flags that braced the cover. This one may be written in Melbourne, recorded in Seattle, and for the first time with a non-Swede in the producer seat, but this is the coming home one. The one where they decide to keep it simple, lose the percussionist. To sack the string quartet, trust the songs. Or as Adam Olenius (singer) puts it in one of those songs: "Throwing stones, they´re rolling home". It happened just like that. All pieces found their natural place. They got Seattleite Phil Ek to produce the album, and they describe him as a well needed force. They wanted someone who was used to working with bands, and used to doing things the old-fashioned way – by hard work and 1, 2, 3, 4 live recordings. Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses and The Shins are fine testaments of Phil Ek´s latest producer work ethic, and so he seemed a natural choice. Adam also says this album and the way it sounds is down to a few things: Firstly, he is in a better place in his life. There may still be dark skies, but lately they’re only partly cloudy. In the words of Mary J Blige, no more drama. And perhaps with the change of weather came the realisation that there really is no need to multilayer everything and fill all the spaces with stuff. Significant points have been made with little more to back them than an honest attempt to keep things organic, unadorned, to the point. (A revisit to John Cale's albums may have played a little part in it all, if we're being fair.) It all may sound quite simple, and that's the point. But simple is rarely that. Simple can be awfully complicated in all it’s plainness, and countless are we who have tried to hide our simplicity behind overdubs, mysterious press releases, animals masks and fabulous-looking graphics. Shout Out Louds may have left out the bunny ears, but just as the rest of us they're definitely guilty of one or two of the other misdemeanors on that list. Well, not anymore. They're keeping it simple now, trusting in the power of bare skin over panache. At the end of the day, it's work, and they are happy to do it. And for that we are truly thankful. http://www.shoutoutlouds.com

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UodSpF8DOhk]YouTube- Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - The Sound[/ame] Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson's story from a couple summers ago, its pages turned in no particular order: Bitterness. Regret. Betrayal. Bouts of self-loathing. Burning buildings and falling bodies. Breakups and new beginnings. Numerology. And endless nights at the same Brooklyn barólots of last calls that drop you in the arms of another, in the death grip of decisions that are wrong in retrospect yet oh-so-right... right? Summer of Fear is the culmination of years spent in eight-track studios, cypher-fueled jam sessions, and dicey club dates that often ended in fist fights and broken glass. Not to mention a revolving door of collaborators that helped Robinson work out the kinks in his skewed pop hooks and melancholic melodies, including the Grizzly Bear members (drummer Christopher Bear, multi-instrumentalist/producer Chris Taylor) who worked on Robinson's self-titled solo disc several winters agoóthe winter before the fear set in. As acclaimed as Robinson's debut was when it finally received a proper pressing in 2008, theÝeffort was meant to be a glorified demo. Summer of Fear is what happened six months later, as life alternated between darkness and light, and spare bedroom songs blossomed into speaker-popping arrangements of sweeping strings, honking horns, and chords that cut so deeply they're bound to leave a mark. TV on the Radio's Kyp Maloneóa close friend since the pair met en route to a Grizzly Bear show in 2005óhelped bottle Robinson's bruised hymns last winter, ramping up the tension in such standout tracks as "Death by Dust," "Summer of Fear pt. 2," "The Sound," and the 11-and-a-half haunting minutes of "More Than a Mess".

Rage Against The Machine have declared their Christmas Number One a victory over a "very sterile pop monopoly" after beating The X Factor's Joe McElderry's to the top spot. 'Killing In The Name' beat McElderry's cover of Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb' by 50,000 sales to claim 2009's festive chart topping crown. Speaking upon hearing the news to Radio 1's Scott Mills, Rage frontman Zack De La Rocha said: "We're great, we're very very ecstatic and excited about the song reaching the Number One spot and I just want to say we want to thank everyone for participating in this incredible, organic grass roots campaign. "It's more about the spontaneous action taken by young people in the UK to topple this very sterile pop monopoly. When young people decide to take action they can make what's seemingly impossible, possible." He also confirmed that part of the proceeds will be donated to the homeless charity Shelter and they will make good on a promise to play a free concert in the UK next year. "We would like to congratulate Joe and Simon (Cowell) on the Number Two single," he added. "We intend to make right on that promise (to play) and we will get together in 2010. We will definitely be there to celebrate with everyone in the UK."

7Digital CEO Ben Drury claims Rage Against The Machine's 'Killing In The Name' could be crowned Christmas Number One this evening (December 20) ahead of The X Factor's Joe McElderry. According to Drury the LA band clocked up 100, 000 sales yesterday (December 19). He wrote on his Twitter page: "Judging by our sales and our market share, RATM could have sold 100,000 copies yesterday alone! Power to the people. "I reckon RATM has done it but need to wait until 6.30pm-ish to find out." However with a big shopping day The X Factor release was also expected to sell a large number of physical copies which are currently being added to the total sales score.

the whole fuckin album!

On these last days of the old year, I thank everyone who attended the 2009 concerts. My personal favorites were: 1 Dublin 2 Dusseldorf 3 Munich 4 Pomona 5 Warsaw The three Brixton concerts were dramatic and perfect for me, and there was a great air of adventure in both Estonia and Latvia. The Russian concerts were a big thrill, but in the absence of even a speckle of publicity .. it's difficult. You begin to feel as if you're playing to a private club - and, in fact, you are. We pondered on the massive poster-campaigns for others and we wondered how such things become possible. The audiences in Russia were loud and greatly inspiring. Hope denied in Liverpool, and the physical limits were tipped in Swindon – these were life's unfortunate lows. I spent the night at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon where the staff restored my faith in humanity. I had no idea such kindness existed. There were more stop-start-trap-doors and cancellations this year than ever before, and it's difficult to keep your mental balance and to remain unclouded at such times. Since every living person appeared to have some strain of flu, there seemed no reason why I should escape it, and I could not listen to medical advice that cautioned me to stand back from the audience and not to shake anyone's hand. Life has come to this? By tours' end I had no face worth rearranging. The landscape of familiar faces who have replaced the Irregular Regulars, and who attend as many of the concerts as possible, continue to astound me. I don't know how – or even why – they attend so many. It is remarkable, and the financial costs must wipe them out for good. I am repeatedly honored and speechless by their dedication. There are no 2010 plans to fire me out of a cannon. Hopes of concerts in New Zealand and Australia collapsed under a mound of doubts. That's life. Even though you see the death of culture all around you, you also want to raise whatever it is you do to a higher plane, yet there is no one, it seems, who can inch the Morrissey thing forwards. As we all now know, the world of music is purely market-driven – not even youth-driven anymore. Talent or merit or songs do not enter the equation for a split second; the campaign is the thing, the campaign is what is discussed amongst the public, the campaign is what impresses the press, and the songs are never a factor. The labels will only push the "artists" that they themselves have discovered, and have no interest in the self-made, blah, blah. But my parting with Universal is not a negative. I am sorry that "Swords" was such a meek disaster. It was proposed and accepted as a budget-priced CD, yet emerged everywhere as the most expensive CD in the racks. It was poorly distributed and didn't stand a chance, and ranks as the lowest chart position I've ever encountered. I remain steadfastly proud of "Years of refusal", which along with "You are the quarry" and "Ringleader of the tormentors" are my life's peaks. These three will allow me to die in peace. I am no longer in the thrall of anything that preceded them; the past is not me. I was delighted at the radio airplay in England for "I'm throwing my arms around Paris", which seemed to match both "Suedehead" and "That's how people grow up" singles for rotation. However, "I'm throwing my arms around Paris" did not chart in France! ... but everything has its time and place... What does the future hold? What does the next minute hold? It all rests as ever on determination – that which springs from somewhere deeper than the body. Record label interest is zero, but the sun will creep back into the room one way or another. It always does. Small and bowed, I offer you my eternal thanks, and my hopes for a steady 2010, full of good grace and no darkness. MORRISSEY London, December 2009.

you are full of shit

First came the announcement that Shins frontman James Mercer and superproducer Danger Mouse had teamed up to form a duo called Broken Bells. Then came the viral mind-games. And now we have concrete news of a Broken Bells album: Columbia will release the self-titled LP on March 9. Other than string arrangements by composer Daniele Luppi, Danger and Mercer play every instrument on the 10-song album. Mercer sings and plays guitar and bass, while Danger handles drums, organ, piano, synth, and bass. Danger also serves as producer. Sample song titles: "Vaporize", "Your Head Is on Fire", "The Ghost Inside", "Sailing to Nowhere", "Trap Doors", "Citizen", and "The Mall and Misery". The album's first single, "The High Road", will premiere on the band's website next Monday, December 21.

http://www.brokenbells.com/ When Danger Mouse and the Shins’ James Mercer met backstage at Denmark’s Roskilde festival five years ago, the unlikely duo quickly discovered a mutual fandom. “As soon as I heard the Shins, I wanted to do something with James, no matter what,” Danger Mouse explains.Their partnership took time to develop, but in March 2008, Mercer began a peripatetic recording odyssey, sequestering for weeks on end at Danger Mouse’s Los Angeles home studio. Both were coming off of a series of high-profile, high-pressure undertakings — Danger Mouse had recently finished producing Beck’s Modern Guilt, while Mercer was coming off a controversial, radical reshuffle of the Shins’ lineup. As a result, they covertly began making music that resembled nothing either of them had ever done. The result is Broken Bells, what was until now a top-secret collaboration. Maverick musician/studio maven Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton) explains this latest effort is no one-off art project like Dark Night of the Soul, his much-hyped joint endeavor with Sparklehorse and film director David Lynch from earlier this year. And while he’s well known for producing the likes of Gorillaz, he claims it’s not a Shins album as produced by Danger Mouse; nor is it a trading-computer-files creation à la Gnarls Barkley, his acclaimed partnership with Cee-Lo. Nope, both Danger Mouse and Mercer agree that Broken Bells is, in fact, a band. “We just didn’t get anybody else in it but ourselves,” explains Danger Mouse. “We’d never worked together before, but then we did one song and it was great.” Danger Mouse and Mercer make all this clear as they linger between shots during a spooky late-night video shoot for Broken Bells’ first single, “The High Road”: in the clip, the duo stalks a dark desert road with flashlights, encountering surreal characters like a burlesque dancer gyrating in a wood shack. It’s an appropriate visual for sounds that might’ve been beamed in from another dimension, one where electronica textures collide with psychedelic harpsichords and eerie Pet Sounds harmonies.“It’s melodic, but experimental, too,” Danger Mouse says of Broken Bells’ upcoming, as-yet-untitled album, which will be released via Columbia in early 2010. “We experimented a lot.” That exploratory tendency rings clear in haunting tracks like “The Ghost Inside” and especially “Sailing To Nowhere/Deviant Sister,” which forges folk-soul apocalyptica out of carnival organ, spacey sound effects and lushly layered vocals that Mercer calls the “Age of Aquarius thing.” As such, when Mercer sings about “the guts on your blouse,” it’s obvious this is the darkest material either has made yet. “That song is really murderous — there’s some really sinister, nasty shit going on in there,” Mercer says. Danger Mouse — infamous for mashing up the Beatles with Jay-Z on his 2004 Internet bootleg sensation The Grey Album — forsook his trademark sampling for live instruments (”Everything was played live,” he says); Mercer, meanwhile, found himself expanding his vocal style, debuting soulful falsettos and a ghostly lower-register croon that had never made appearances on his previous recordings. “There are a number of times on this record where you’d never guess it’s James singing,” Danger Mouse notes. “I’m doing things I’ve never done before,” Mercer adds. “When you’re the master of your own domain, it’s easy to fall into patterns. But with this, there was a freedom to try stuff and not worry about what it would mean for this identity I’ve created. And it just sounded cool.” “We wanted to be in our own little world for this thing,” Danger Mouse concludes, “and it worked.” this morning, cryptic advertisements began showing up on various websites, featuring an image containing silhouettes of men who look a whole lot like Mercer and Danger Mouse (see above). Those ads link to various URLs that are anagrams of "Broken Bells," such as http://www.oebkenllbsr.com/, http://www.berobrknells.com/ and http://www.ebbelkslorn.com/. If you go to those URLs, you'll hear component parts of various songs, looped over and over. Each time you refresh, the loop changes, and the URLs contain different loops. Open the URLs in a bunch of windows at the same time and you'll get an idea of what the album sounds like! Kinda.

It's a strange name, Miike Snow. And it's not even one person - this trio are a New York-Stockholm hybrid, the 'surname' an engineer in LA, the first name a homage to Japanese film director Takashi Miike. They can already lay claim to one of the finest pop songs of the last ten years, having written Britney Spears' Toxic. Handily enough, the story of their name just about sums up their music. Well engineered for sure, it nonetheless contains some strange twists, turns and syncopations as it unfolds, not to mention some decidedly dark lyrics. What works handsomely in their favour is the fact Miike Snow are one of those outfits whose music refuses to go away. They've mastered the art of the album as a 'grower'. Give the record one listen only and it might pass you by, leaving you fleetingly impressed by its unusual harmonies, ironed out into pop structures. Go back to it once more and the process of reeling the listener in begins, as the barbed lyrics reveal themselves and the catchy tunes and rolling drums start to pop their heads above the parapet. Nowhere does this happen more obviously than the lead track Animal, which sounds like a lost Police song given a new, vividly coloured change of clothes. It's uniquely and strangely joyous, a mood that continues through the album, with choice lyrical vignettes and hooks that seem awkward at first listen, gloriously different the next. "Don't forget to cry at your own burial!" they entreat in Burial, which after a few listens will reveal itself as a song about a serial killer. Black & Blue does likewise, a more soulful approach revealing a possible debt to Outkast, while hinting even a bit of gospel may have been used. Throughout the album danceable rhythms, melodic hooks you could hang a coat on, and vocals that would grace many an accomplished boy band vie for top billing. The carefree Song For No One breezes on by with a jaunty rhythm, complementing the lovelorn Silvia rather well, while even the later tracks - A Horse Is Not A Home, Plastic Jungle and In Search Of, impress greatly with their polished yet human approach. Empire Of The Sun might have thought they had the crown of the year's breeziest electro pop album sewn up, but they reckoned without this trio. For Miike Snow make weirdly wonderful music, not without its strange lyrical dark side, but with an overall vibe that raises you to your feet and makes you gaze at the blue sky. In a phrase, life-enriching.
