However, as the previously mentioned opener suggests, The D’Urbervilles seem just as confident letting their explosive riffage do the talking, with quite a few of the songs featuring large instrumental breaks that are just as engaging as their vocalized counterparts. There’s also a nice vocal interplay here between the urgent bursts of group shouting and the Ray Davies-esque croon of Tim Bruton (as evidenced on both “Hot Tips” and the title track). More often than not they evoke the riotous energy of early Constantines (hmm, it seems I’ve been beaten to the punch on both of these comparisons by Chart and Exclaim! respectively…alas). Of course, at their worst, The D’Urbervilles can run slightly into Killers territory, but thankfully this is rare. Maybe it’s lyrics like the anthemic “We are hunters / it’s time for killing“ (from the title track) or the weighty bass of songs like “This is the Life,” but this album just seems to lend a certain sense of badass gravitas (now there’s an album title!) to an everyday stroll. I mean, there I was walking across the parking lot of the Gerrard Square mall, a 25 year-old over-privileged dork with a large coffee in one hand and bags of groceries in the other, and just listening to We Are the Hunters had me feeling like a tough, streetwise Tarantino character who had a shotgun tucked safely beside his skim milk. Opening in admirable instrumental fashion with the pervasive mood-setter, “Knock Out the Fat,” and followed by the menacing title track, it becomes obvious early on that there’s just something knowingly cocksure and sinister about this entire release. Having since had the time to give We Are the Hunters a few more listens in its entirety while searching for a snow clearing implement, I have no problem attributing those adjectives to the rest of the album as well. Last week, when I featured standout track, “Hot tips,” I described the song as confident, seductive and pounding. Promising that I’d replace it, I loaded We Are the Hunters, The D’Urbervilles debut full-length, into my iPod and dutifully made my way over to the local mall (ugh…). In fact, it’s snowing in Hogtown right now and, unfortunately for me, I broke my landlord’s shovel this past weekend while attempting to clear out a place to park my friend’s car. It’s a bad season not to have a snow shovel. key track di lagu hot tips sama dragnet membuat cita rasa post-punk tersendiri bagi The d'Urbervilles." - clapclapclap "Band dr canada dengan style post-punk baru yg di bawain The d'Urbervilles lbh beragam, dr character voc yg non-new wave lbh ke era avant-pop walau dr segi post-punk nya msh terasa bgt di ketukan drum, dan musik yg lbh baru dengan di tambahkannya suara glockenspiel,clapin and melodi2 guitar di tengah2 lagu. It comes out March 25 on Rykodisc, and while there is no talk of a tour yet, Elf Power are usually pretty consistent in that area too. In a Cave, Elf Power's ninth album, is the latest entry in the indie/psych band's oeuvre. Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, and Olivia Tremor Control tend to dominate that Athens, Georgia-focused spotlight, and yet, Elf Power continue to record and release albums at a very consistent rate. Like the tiny creatures from which they take their name, Elf Power are often overlooked when it comes time to take stock of the Elephant 6 collective. With In A Cave these seasoned indie rockers find the perfect synthesis of their organic live performances, instinctual ensemble playing and open-hearted experimentation. One of their most psychedelic records, it offers thirteen otherworldly tracks of chugging Krautrock rhythms, sing-song pop, and harmonically dense balladry. Lf Power's ninth album, In A Cave, blasts them past familiar territories and lands them on exciting new terrain. otw download jd blom bisa ngsh review lbh." -clapclapclap ini dia yg gue cari slama ini akhir nya datang juga, hehe. salah satu band psychedelic/rock fav gue.
