The Suburbs Merge Records Written arranged performed and produced by the Arcade Fire and co-produced by Markus Dravs em The Suburbs / em was recorded around Montreal and New York over the past two years Brothers Nonesuch The maturation of the Black Keys as record makers and performers has been both subtle and startling With their 2008 Nonesuch release Attack Release - the fifth album of their eight-year career which doubled the sales of their previous album and Nonesuch debut Magic Potion - guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney illustrated the durability of their few-frills sound a mysterious and heavy brew of seventies-vintage rock classic R B and timeless downhearted blues Producer and pal Danger Mouse their first outside collaborator didnt try to reinvent their sound but further isolated its essence with the help of a few carefully chosen guest players and some retro-modern electronic gear It didnt need to get slicker to get better or as the Boston Globe put it Attack Release proves that cleaning up the boys still wont stop them from tracking mud all over the house r r Danger Mouse returned to co-produce Tighten Up on Brothers but for the most part the duo was on its own spending ten days at the legendary Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama and coming up with the an even more intensely focused deeply soulful set that includes a cover of Jerry Butlers Never Gonna Give You Up The performances are inventive and impassioned Auerbach extends his vocal range to falsetto on the lead-off track Everlasting Light and The Only One Howlin For You opens with a Gary Glitter-style drum riff and the chorus practically invites singing along The tunes offer a surprising amount of lyrical candor and more than a little dark humor the grooves alternate between ballsy swagger and bluesy rumination The album reflects where Auerbach and Carney have been lately most recently collaborating with a whos who of New York City MCs including RZA Q Tip Mos Def and Raekwon on the 2009 BlakRoc super-session organized by hip-hop impresario and Black Keys fan Damon Dash Theyve also pursued projects on their own Auerbach with his solo Keep It Hid album and tour Carney with his band Drummer and its debut disc Feels Good Together Their maturation didnt happen just in the studio though Carney admits Dan and I grew up a lot as individuals and musicians prior to making this album Our relationship was tested in many ways but at the end of the day were brothers and I think these songs reflect that r r Brothers was primarily cut in Muscle Shoals a setting that turned out to have more in common with the Akron Ohio factories where the Black Keys Interpol Matador Records The long-awaited fourth album from New York s INTERPOL finds them exploring dark musical landscapes of layered depth and intensity In contrast to 2007 s Our Love To Admire this self-titled opus hangs together as an album a set of very different songs that thematically connect From the highly melodic Barricade and Lights through the snarling Memory Serves and the extraordinary triptych of connected tracks that close the album Interpol have never made work this emotionally resonant or packed with crescendos r r r r Mixer Alan Moulder has brought the rhythm section back to the fore anchoring a thicket of orchestral sound that brings to mind touchstones from black metal to 70s art rock but always remains identifiably Interpol Hypnotic bizarre always indelible Interpol is the band s magnum opus High Violet 4ad Records High Violet the new full-length record by the National is a nervy melodic explosive and beautiful set of songs that find the band at the height of their collaborative powers The music is wide-ranging in its moods by turns intimate and rough expansive and spare full of stark angles and atmosphere Berningers singing wild half-broken sly evokes a feeling of being haunted by love by paranoia by something just out of reach High Violet may be The Nationals most thematically twisted record to date but it somehow also manages to be their most infectious and immediate Lungs Universal Republic International pressing 2009 debut album from the hotly tipped UK outfit fonted by Florence Welch Lungs produced by Paul Epworth James Ford and Steve Mackay is an intoxicating mix of delicate fragility dark humor and twisted Tim Burton style fairy-tales From the live favourite Youve Got The Love to the raw Blues-tinged Girl With One Eye to the beautifully painful Between Two Lungs the album is crammed with crowd pleasers Also boasting fresh tracks like new single Rabbit Heart Raise It Up Drumming -
