I downloaded over 50 of them. So I decided they deserved their own list instead of throwing a few of these in my most listened to list. Thanks to all the artists whose music makes it possible, all the cool labels and the blog/ sites out there that make these great albums known.

And last but not least, Chicago based garage rockers excellent track "Kicked Out The Fear".<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1958950348/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://explodinginsoundrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eis-sampler-2013-2014">EIS Sampler 2013 // 2014 by exploding in sound records</a></iframe>

<b><span style="background-color: white;">2. </span><span style="background-color: #7f6000; color: #ffd966;">Ziklibrenbib - <i>Volume 9</i> </span></b>features alternative, indie, pop tracks from France based Creative Commons blog Ziklibrenbib. My favorite crazy Italian rockers CRTVTR's anthem "Workers" is a track i can listen to over and over. The sweet strings and accordion of Holland based La Tabu's waltz timed track "Nada", which made it on my other year end list. Brooklyn's duo Lizard Kisses acts 50's influenced "The Storm" is a syrupy sweet little number. New York based Salt Cathedral's song "Dirty Me", is a dance pop gem. Kelly Latimore's folk track "Overgrown" is another example of great songwriting, nothing new to Latimore. <iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4293624872/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border-width: 0px; height: 120px; width: 100%;"></iframe>

From their bandcamp page" This album is a celebration of life. Life in general, but in-particular the life of one young woman named Madelyn Stephenson. She left this planet much sooner than she should have, and because of that this planet will never truly know what it's missing or what she would have done to make it a better place to be.
Back to the album, it's filled with songs from independent musicians based in Northeast Indiana that wanted to honor Maddy's memory. " Favorite tracks are the psych heavy track"Somewhere in The Soft terrain" by Burning Tapes and "On and On" by The Lonely Reals.<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=35186929/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=63b2cc/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://songsformaddy.bandcamp.com/album/a-high-tower-songs-for-maddy">A High Tower : Songs For Maddy by Various Artists</a></iframe>

My favorite tracks are the driving rocker "Burn Up The Road" and the syrupy sweet sounding "Snug As Fuck". Also great are the lo fi burner "4 Track Stomper". Add in a splash of indigenous music sounds as on the song "Arrow"and a few weeper tracks like "Dreary Droop" and this album with its varied sounds and different sounding production makes this album the one that I can't get enough of this past year.<br />

With a shake your ass rating of 10 out of 10 these songs thankfully keep to Merrill's incredible ear for production... and not overdoing it! From the sure fire playful dance track "Water Fountain" to the r'n'b production of "The Real Thing" to the straight forward lo fi production of "Rocking Chair" Merrill has added more soundscapes with littering said soundscapes with too many distractions.<br />

<b>3. <span style="background-color: #666666; color: #6aa84f;">Thom Yorke - <i>Tomorrow's Modern Boxes</i></span></b><span style="background-color: #666666; color: #6aa84f;"> </span>Another solo fine solo album from Mr. Yorke. Part slinky grooves, part pop construction, part ambient chill-out. There are accessible tracks like "Guess Again" as well as less accessible tracks like "Pink Section" that balance out the sound a bit. The end result is a really strong album which , which frankly, is not a surprise.

The production is sparse and there are no vocal runs that the tv shows wrongfully tell the kids is the way to sing a soul or r'n'b song. "Be Like You" is the catchiest anthem you've never heard of. It's the type of song the radio should play. The song has current production with a major dose of doo wop. Man did I play the shit out of this little EP that could. David does things that the likes of other white soul contemporaries could learn a thing or two from.

<b>5. <span style="background-color: #cc0000; color: #f9cb9c;">Lobo Marino -<i> City of Light</i></span></b><span style="background-color: #cc0000; color: #f9cb9c;"> </span>Folk, chant, drone, kirtan, spiritual, tribal, world fusion from Richmond based Lobo Marino. "City Of Light" is named after the city Varanasi, in India. Laney and Jamison went to Varansi and volunteered at a music and arts school there (all the proceed from this album's sales goes to that school, a very worthwhile endeavour. The info to do so is on their bandcamp page). As far as the music itself, stellar as is the case with their last release "Kite Festival" which ended up on my year end list. Its a really good blend of west and east influences. The drone aspect doesn't make tracks stand out, rather when consumed as a whole a singular, pretty amazing, sonic experience. <iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3531062876/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=de270f/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://lobomarino.bandcamp.com/album/city-of-light">City of Light by Lobo Marino</a></iframe>

My favorite tracks are "Through You Chest" and "Electrik Blu Two Point Oh". <iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3654199684/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border-width: 0px; height: 120px; width: 100%;"></iframe><br />

<b>8. <span style="background-color: #b45f06; color: #f1c232;">Ego Ella May - <i>Breathing Underwater</i> </span></b> Londoner Ego's release last year was on my year end list and she picks up where she left off on <span style="color: #38761d;"><i><b>Breathing Underwater</b></i></span>. This album features that nice mix of r&b, jazz and poetry that makes it a very dynamic release.

<b>9. <span style="background-color: #cc0000; color: #f4cccc;">Gia Margaret - Dark/Joy</span> </b> Beautiful melodies and a beautiful voice from Chicago based Gia. The ambient tinged track "Next Town " is my favorite track. Love the way Gia phrases her vocals. "Celica" is another home run of a song with strings that compliment her beautiful voice. I'm fortunate to have booked her for some shows as well as seen her play multiple times, sometimes with Alain in the duo Little Light. Always knocked out seeing her sing live. <iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1321221751/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=f171a2/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://giamargaretmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dark-joy">Dark/Joy by Gia Margaret</a></iframe>

From the melodic hooks of "Beast Monster" to the start and stop and start again of "I Want You To Know That I'm Awake/I Hope That You're Asleep", <i><b>How Tow To Leave Town</b></i> has many facets and even when they are unconventional they seem the work towards a bigger picture that pays off even more with subsequent listens.<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3072447571/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=de270f/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://carseatheadrest.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-leave-town">How To Leave Town by Car Seat Headrest</a></iframe>

Curt album<span style="background-color: white;"> <b><i>Home</i></b></span> was one I played quite a bit at the end of last year. There is something refreshing about his sax playing. It takes more liberties than traditional experimental jazz does. The track "Everything's Gonna Be Okay" is my favorite.

I listen to thousand of albums every year and Curt's music really stands out, in the best of ways.<br />

Good to see Joe Harbison (supercontinents) still putting out solo work as well as his really cool band gypsy punk outfit <a href="http://fordtheatrereunion.bandcamp.com/album/famous-monsters"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Ford Theatre Reunion</b></span></a>. I first came across Joe's solo work on the wonderful but now defunct CLLCT site. Here's hoping those few albums end up somewhere again.<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1492952876/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=f171a2/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://supercontinents.bandcamp.com/album/demos-volume-two">demos, volume two by supercontinents</a></iframe>

This Loufest performance marks 5 years of St. Louis indie rockers <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PrettyLittleEmpire"><span style="background-color: #660000;"><span style="color: #f4cccc;"><b>Pretty Little Empire</b></span></span></a>. I am fortunate to have been a fan all of those years and having seen them play, in 2009, a place as cozy as CBGB in (St. Louis) to this past Sundays Loufest performance. They always 100% and Sunday was no different. They played new songs "You Don't Want To Be", "Badlands" and "You Don't Want To Be". They also played 'Master Plan" and "Something More". Then Morgan from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bruiserqueen"><span style="background-color: #20124d;"><span style="color: #d9d2e9;"><b>Bruiser Queen</b></span></span></a> joined them for a few songs. They played a a much faster version faster version of "You Can't Have It All". They closed out their set with "Talking Loud" and even though they played early at 12, the crowd was size-able (including some in shades in strollers!) and enjoyed the Pretty Little Empire 's set.<br />

I was able to hang with photographer <a href="http://www.itisalrightma.com/"><span style="background-color: #783f04;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><b>Jared Gastreich</b></span></span></a> (who I took a photo of whilst he took photos of Pretty Little Empire) for a little while while we went over to catch Chicago band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/weareempires"><span style="background-color: #444444;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><b>Empires</b></span></span></a> set. I have seen the lads in Empires quite a few times and they always put on a great show. It was no exception on Sunday.
They played mostly new songs I wasn't familiar with but they sounded good.<br />

Next up I saw Portugal. The Man who has a sizable dedicated crowd as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/portugaltheman"><span style="background-color: #274e13;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><b>Portugal. The Man</b></span></span></a>. The group played a go for broke type of set as the sun emerged. Within the set I heard them cover Oasis (Don't Look Back In Anger), swill Jack from a fifth and get a little more out of control during the set as they enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The crowd ate it up. I was first introduced to Portugal. The Man by good friend and new music finder DC from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TWRHQ?fref=ts"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><b>The Waiting Room Radio Show</b></span></span></a>.<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/outkast"><span style="background-color: #0c343d;"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><b>Outkast </b></span></span></a> closed out the night and also festival as they reminded people they had been rapping for 20 years now together. They were consumate professionals, even though things got a little raunchy at times which seemed to surprise some of the younger people in the crowd. But having listened to them for 15 years I was not surprised. Most of the time the naught things they do are done with a wink and nod. On Sunday they delivered a tight set of the hits both from Dre and Big Boi solo work as well. They were joined by a full compliment of horns, band, backup singers and of course <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sleepy-Brown/105730969460770"><span style="background-color: #660000;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Sleepy Brown</span></span></a> </b>wearing his signature pajamas. The stage production was top class with lasers and of course Andre's wig. Really glad I got to finally see them play.<br />
<br />
All in all Loufest was a more focused in the number of groups and friendly (free bean bags games to play, open space for playing frisbee, free water stand) a good amount of shade and fair (when thought of in festival terms) priced food and beer. I drank $7 Schlafly's and had a big $7 pulled pork sandwich. There was plenty of room to move around and you weren't always on top of other people. It was a great festival experience for me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00137109025502304235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234278848695866265.post-43602472137934725932014-05-09T09:33:00.001-05:002014-05-13T08:33:22.592-05:00Italy based band CRTVTR to swarm US on tour (Starts May 23 in Minneapolis)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been following the musical exploits of Italian base indie rock band CRTVTR since their<span style="color: #990000;"><b> <i>We Need Time ep</i></b></span> release in 2009. Cesare Pezzoni (guitar vocals), Fabio Patrone (bass), and Giovanni Stimamiglio on drums comprise CRTVTR. Their newest release, <i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Here it comes, Tramontane!</b></span></span></i> made it into my <a href="http://minesindoubly-dedicatedears.blogspot.com/2013/12/dedicated-ears-2013-most-listened-to.html"><span style="background-color: #783f04;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><b>TOP TEN</b></span></span></a> most listened to albums last year. I did a review of the album <a href="http://dedicatedearsfreealbumlist.blogspot.com/2013/04/crtvtr-here-it-comes-tramontan-free.html"><span style="background-color: #134f5c;"><span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><b>HERE </b></span></span></a>. They have a song on there that they recorded that has Mike Watt, yes that Mike Watt, on bass. They play a brand of indie rock fueled by 90's eclectic indie guitar music. I can't wait for them to come play Quenchers on May 31 , I will be there, come on out Chicago people. It's not too often that bands I follow abroad end up touring and I am excited to see them play!
Please go support this Italian band as they tour a good deal of the midwest. Here are the dates, and you can buy tix <span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="background-color: #073763;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CRTVTR/app_308540029359"><b>HERE</b></a></span></span><br />

This will be a treat to see Tom play his album <i><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Dear Brooklyn, I'm Sorry</b></span></i> which is a great album and has one of my favorite songs Tom had done, "To You, My Friend... ". Come on out to the Windy City Inn (2257 Irving Park Rd.), cover is
$5. I love it when bands play a whole album. I will be there!<iframe seamless="" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=271643341/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 142px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://tomschraederhisego.bandcamp.com/album/dear-brooklyn-im-sorry">Dear Brooklyn, I'm Sorry... by Tom Schraeder & His Ego</a></iframe>

Love the lo fi production and DIY attitudes. No big surprise that Pretty Little Empire is at the top. I love the way their sound grew. I want to say thanks to all the acts for playing such great music, and also all of the bands that have legal free downloads, I appreciate it. I was fortunate to continue my friendship and musical exchange program with DC and the fine people at The Waiting Room. Also, a big thanks to Tom Schraeder for including me in his Chicago, I love You festival. Also, thanks to August and the people at NOVO for the recommendations as well.

<a href="http://www.prettylittleempire.com/"><span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Pretty Little Empire</span></span></a> have seamlessly blended ambient and post punk elements into their tried and true formula to remarkable results on their third, and self titled release, out on Extension Chords Records. The band members only want to make the best music they can. So egos are set aside and allow for multiple people to sing lead and form songs. This isn't always the case with bands. I have been fortunate to have seen PLE play shows (since 2009) for all three albums. I have also got to talking to them at the shows and ask about their growth as a unit. So the maturity on <span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b><i>Pretty Little Empire</i></b></span></span>
is not surprising one bit. They are achieving sounds on this album that would be impossible if this were a "one man band".<br />
<br />
The post punk punch of "Talking Loud"
features some lyrics we all would like to utter to someone we know, "I don't want to waste another day, contemplating all the shit your saying, you have proven to me once again, that we never were the best of friends..." . The break two thirds of the way through the song add some depth to this song.<br />
<br />
The guitar parts on "Master Plan" is like a long lost friend from the late 80's. I've been singing this songs lyric "There's no master plan, for the things we don't understand"
for weeks now. The organ they have on this track is a really effective for the mood of this song.<br />
<br />
As a personal patron of waltz timed songs, I wholeheartedly endorse the simple and effective beauty of "Patina".<br />
<br />
The Latin accents on "Out Of Control" are a great counter point to the crashing guitars in the song. Best of both world!<br />
<br />
Evan sings lead on the country tinged "Nest" and makes you when he will have an album of acoustic originals up on bandcamp?<br />
<br />
The guys picked a great album closer with "You are the one", a sprawling song that features a blissful buzz and catchy melody and heartfelt singing by Justin that sums up the band's sound at this time.<br />
<br />
I scheduled a family vacation earlier this year to St Louis and our whole family got to see PLE play at the art museum there. Even outside in the hot sun the songs were something to behold live! So I implore you to g to their album release show this Sat Oct 19 at Off Broadway.

Lapland's self titled album is awash with great melodies and jazz influences, which comes as no surprise seeing as Josh Mease is Lapland. Josh's great first album, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wilderness/dp/B002GKKJ9Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373934519&sr=8-2&keywords=josh+mease"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><i>Wilderness</i></b></span></a> made it on my year end list in 2009. This Lapland release shares similarities to <b><i>Wilderness</i></b> with respect to the melodies and jazz influences and dream like state of the music, but on Lapland Josh has branched out with some electronic touches which work to great effect with his signature style.<br />
Some electronic bright sounding parts show up right away on album opener "Unwise". Like a lot of Josh's songs,"Unwise" goes for a bigger picture sound. Less is definitely more and the chord changes really make the difference.<br />
<iframe seamless="" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3052123480/size=medium/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://lapland.bandcamp.com/album/lapland">Lapland by Lapland</a></iframe>
"Overboard" showcases Josh's vocal style, featuring some sweet harmonies and a lounge instrumentation.<br />
The slow waltz creeper "Aeroplane" is an addictive little track, whose melody will stay with you for quite a while. A true accomplishment for a song.<br />
The experimental waltz timed instrumental "Fountains" is Josh's new experimentation at its best. A perfect off kilter change up that is perfectly placed.<br />
The chord changes on "Metal Lung" are great. Have you ever heard a Sergio Leone influenced jazz pop song? Love this song a bunch.<br />
Lapland marks some departure of sound for Josh Mease while still retaining the core that makes me love his songwriting, musicianship and singing/melodies. This album will be on my year end list again!<br />
Come see Josh tomorrow night (18+) show at<a href="http://www.schubas.com/Shows/07-16-2013+Lapland"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b> Schubas</b></span></a> Chicago.

Their newest release <span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><span style="color: #7f6000;"><b><i>Darkling. I Listen </i></b></span></span>finds their sound expanding and becoming more layered.

So here those albums are. As a voracious down-loader of Creative Commons releases I say thanks to all those artists for releasing those albums as a CC release. Most of the albums on this list are CC albums and are featured on Dedicated Ears Legal Free Album/EP List. Thanks to all of those who follow me on FB and Twitter and check out my posts. <br />

Wildly addictive songs. Have had this on repeat since it's release. This
album is loved by my 5, 4, and 1 year old kids who asked for it again
today in the car and sang and danced. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. The Black Atlantic - <i>Darkling , I Listen</i></b> (January 13, 2012)(Beep Beep)(Netherlands) Fell in Love again with this band all over again with this album. Geert, Simon, Kim and Mathijas have stretched their sound in
more aggressive and louder ways while still maintaining the beautiful
melodic core that makes the band's sound pretty unique.<br />
<br />

<b>3. Hemmingbirds - <i>The Vines Of Age</i></b><i> (</i>September 25, 2012)(Chicago, Illinois) This time around there are more nuanced sounds that comes from having a
full band who all contribute to the overall sound. There are the
dalliances with experimental and psyche rock and sometimes straight up
noise that add quite another element to the bands core of hook laden pop
songs.
<br />

<b>4. Jump Starts - <i>What Hides Inside </i></b>(November 10, 2012)(The Loud Label)(St. Louis Missouri) The overall sound on What Hides inside has added new musical flavors,
country, Latin and post punk, without losing the tight identity that
this Jump Starts duo has crafted. <br />

<b>5. Lupe de Lupe - <i>Sal Grosso</i> </b>(Popfuzz Records, August 20, 2012)(Belo Horizonte, Brazil) Makes you yearn for the 90's again. Such big guitars as on "Há Algo de Podre no Reino de Minas Gerais" , a punk infused riot of a song. <iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="100" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=1401747975/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=0f3410/" style="display: block; height: 100px; position: relative; width: 400px;" width="400"><a href="http://lupedelupe.bandcamp.com/album/sal-grosso">Sal Grosso by Lupe de Lupe</a></iframe>

<b>6. Adrian Jaurez -<i>Marimba</i></b> (June 21, 2012)(La Plata, Argentina) An ideal electro-pop release. Layered at times and simpler at
others but always keeping a pulse on an indie ethos. The buoyant track"Festin" is on of my favorite tracks of the past year.

St. Louis combo<span style="color: #f1c232;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/JumpStarts?ref=ts&fref=ts"> </a><span style="color: #ffd966;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/JumpStarts?ref=ts&fref=ts"><span style="background-color: cyan;"><b>Jump Starts</b></span></a> </span></span>are back with the new LP, <b><i>What Hides Inside</i></b> (<a href="http://theloudlabel.com/_/The_Loud_Label.html"><span style="background-color: #7f6000;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>The Loud Label</b></span></span></a>), which finds the duo seamlessly integrating their vocal interplay and minimalist pop expertise to create a clean sounding infectious batch of songs with varied musical influences.<br />
<br />
So if you are asking is there anything different on this album than their debut album? Yes. The mid tempo country tinged <b>"Written On Water"</b> is a natural progression for their sound to take, and that sound comes easily for the duo.<br />
<br />
There is also a bit harder edge on the post punk track <b>"Last Time"</b> which incorporate some of Justin's other band, Pretty Little Empire. It's great to hear that sound with Sarah singing the duel vocals.<br />
<br />
The normal Jump Starts infectious hook pop songs are here in abundance, namely the head bobbing <b>"Don't Need Much"</b> which highlights how comfortable Sarah and Justin are with each others abilities. They have really made that vocal interplay the heart of what their music is.<br />
<br />
Love the Latin flavored <b>"Lord Who Knows"</b>. The guitar work and drumming is very effective. <br />
<br />
The overall sound on What Hides inside has added new musical flavors, country, Latin and post punk, without losing the tight identity that this Jump Starts duo has crafted. The hooks are always there with Justin's songs. This I can attest to as I have been lucky enough to hear some of his songs just after he has recorded them on his iphone. So that melody part is a given with Justin's songwriting. What Sarah and Justin have done is take that melody as a base and forge a sound where they each have even footing, the effect of which is evident with how memorable these songs are. <br />
<br />
Thanks to Jump Starts for sending this along to me! Look for this album on Dedicated Ears year end list.<br />
<br />

The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hemmingbirds?ref=ts"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>Hemmingbirds</b></span></a> set the bar pretty high with their debut,<a href="http://store.hemmingbirds.com/album/death-wave"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><i> Death Wave</i></b></span></a> , which was on my most listened to year end list, played on pod-casts near and wide as well as downloaded in excess of 50,000 times on Frost Click and saw the band entrench themselves in the Chicago music live scene. <i><b>Death Wave</b></i> was a one man tour de force of Yoo Soo Kim playing all, singing and fine production. So it has been interesting to see him add Zach Benkowski on drums, Matt McGuire on bass, and Timothy Cap on guitar (who Yoo Soo knew from their days at University Of Illinois at Champaign together). The guys have graciously had me out at about 8 to 10 of their shows, so I have been able to see this line up solidly and become stronger and stronger as they played songs from <span style="color: #990000;"><i><b>Vines Of Age</b></i></span> these last few months, in advance of it's <b>release this Fri Sept 21 at Beat Kitchen</b>. <a href="http://store.hemmingbirds.com/album/the-vines-of-age-2"><span style="background-color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><b>PRE<strike>-</strike> ORDER <i>Vines Of Age</i>.</b></span></span></a><br />
<br />
The sound of The Vines Of Age evolves from hard rock and classic rock influences, and has become study in sound expansion. There is an emphasis on a bigger more expansive sound that is as loud at time as it's predecessor Death Wave, but achieves the big sounds with an indie flavor as on the build up for album opener <span style="color: red;"><b>"My Love, Our Time Is Now"</b></span>.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>"Line of Bones" </b><span style="color: black;">s</span></span>tarts with some clapping and quickly descends into a post punk inspired stomper of a song that achieves a glorious big noise where all of the band members contribute. I love seeing them play this song line because of the tempo shifts. <br />
<br />
My favorite track, <span style="color: red;"><b>"Vineyards"</b></span> illustrates the concept of this album, the passage of time and it's effect on us. Yoo Soo sings 'The vines of age, will crowd your brain and bind you to your name.' There are nice guitar echo effects on this song hat make it sound very layered. Yet at the same time there are pauses and stops that really ties everything together. This to me is the quintessential Hemmingbirds songs, featuring sweet vocals, harmonies, and a killer melody back by sounds both big and small. Love that long slow fade at the end.<br />
<br />
'The lives that pass through your eyes on the t.v., and how it prints on to your brain, as your dreaming, and as I age you see the resemblance, and you carefully say take your time with the lovers that you make, take your time with the lovers that you make, Yoo Soo sings sweetly on <span style="color: red;"><b>"Oak Tree"</b></span>, a ballad with some beautiful guitar work to match Yoo Soo's insightful writing. This is another tome about time and taking advantage of the time you have and people close to you.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>"Toxic Noise" </b></span>is a mid tempo rocker awash in big ass guitars featuring a killer bottom end that really propels this song. Add to that some sweet keys by Mike Maimone (<a href="http://download.muttsmusic.com/"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Mutts</b></span></a>).<br />
<br />
Ever wonder what you would get if you mike Mike Maimone's sound with Hemmingbirds right down the middle? The answer can be found on <span style="color: red;"><b>"Better Than That"</b></span> which features Mike on keys. They backbone of the song is a blues stomp that features some very experimental sounds for Hemmingbirds with even a bit of psych rock feel. Mike was the one who originally told me about Hemmingbirds and I have see Mike and You Soo and assorted band members trade playing with one another. They are all comfortable playing with one another and the this song is evidence that those two sounds work wonderfully together.<br />
<br />
Holy stereo effect Batman. <span style="color: red;"><b>"Evening Is Rising" </b></span>is an experimental noise lounge song featuring trumpet by Tricia Scully and trombone by Thom Schwartz. When the noise kicks up to full it's almost impossible to make out what is making some of those sounds. I think every band should have a song like this, that almost gets away from the band. I like the experimental side of Hemmingbirds.<br />
<br />
I love the drums on <span style="color: red;"><b>"Through The Aether"</b></span>. Also Yoo Soo's violin and viola parts are really nice. Yet again another big, joyous noise.<br />
<br />
This time around there are more nuanced sounds that comes from having a full band who all contribute to the overall sound. There are the dalliances with experimental and psyche rock and sometimes straight up noise that add quite another element to the bands core of hook laden pop songs. I thoroughly enjoyed the sonic ride of listening to this album as a whole. It has been a joy to have heard some of the rough cuts of these songs early on, and then to see these songs transformed when they played them live. Now with this production of the songs the Hemmingbirds have advanced the songs even further. A big congratulations to the guys on an incredible album.<br />

The line-up this Friday will be Gabe Liebowitz of Dastardly at 9pm, Ami Saraiya and The Outcome at 10pm, Moritat at 11pm and Magicks at Midnight. Gabe and Ami I have had the pleasure of sponsoring for the singer songwriter showcase,s they always put on a great show. Gabe may even sing his love letter themed song about Missouri. The rest of the bill is Moritat, who play indie pop and Magicks who are an electronic wave oriented act.
Below are some videos as well as some bandcamp players so you can check this awesome bill's bands out. The entrance is<b> FREE</b> and Lilly's is <b>cash only</b> so plan ahead. I am really excited about this showcase and hopefully will have some video in the weeks following this show.<br />

I've known <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tomschraeder"><b style="background-color: #660000; color: white;">Tom Schraeder</b></a>(of Tom Schraeder and His Ego) for about a year now. I know a few things about him. He prefers no to be called "singer songwriter. He is NOT a fan of the recently disco band Muse, and when he sees something he can do to help people out, or in general make things better here in Chicago, he does it. That's a very admirable trait. I saw him organize the music for a benefit for The Boys and Girls Club and heard artists who played it say, "sure anything for Tom". Tom thought to himself, wow there no lengthy Chicago artist based festival that allows all forms of artists to showcase their work. So what does Tom do? Tom puts on a festival himself.<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/422920024421606/"><b style="background-color: #cc0000; color: #ea9999;">Chicago I Love You</b></a> is happening this whole month of September at venerable Chicago bar/venue<a href="https://www.facebook.com/LillysChicago"><b style="background-color: #0b5394; color: #9fc5e8;"> Lilly's </b></a>,<span itemprop="description"> 2515 N.

Thanks again to Tom for being both forward and up thinking on this one. He has invited <b style="background-color: #d0e0e3; color: #134f5c;">Dedicated Ears</b> to be one of the blog sponsors and I couldn't be prouder. More exact details to come, but there is a basic frame work below of this great festival</span><br />

Chicago's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thebearsofblueriver?sk=info"><b style="color: #660000;">Bears Of Blue River </b></a>are back again with an album full of
hummable pop songs which utilize equal parts indie and 50's era
rock-n-roll. Fronted by Gavin Wilkinson, the Bears are in a raucous mood on tracks like the album opener "Boy Toy". The first lyrics Gavin sings are, 'As I left the Polish bar, you got up and out your car
you looked up at me and with your eyes you swore at me' to which Margaret Alexandra Gard replies 'You foolish little man, with your life set to plan
<br />
spend some time with me and a few tricks you will see',
as two lovers who are together in spite of each person's shortcomings. The raw choruses of 'Good Spark' create a full sound, as this track has a bit harder edged guitar. My favorite track is the closer, 'Blue Ribbon', which is a track the band has had around for some time as a single of sorts. Gavin sings 'And I tried hard and I got barred
and it sure was a lesson,
a story I'm addressing.
Undressing I need from some nice thing,
a prize little jewel to prove I'm no fool.' <b style="color: #660000;"><i> Dames</i></b> has a really good balanced sound, and features the attention on the band and not the production. <br />
<br />
I have seen the Bears Of Blue River play with almost every band configuration, and they are a band well worth seeing.<br />
Support local music!<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/tomschraeder"><b style="color: #990000;">Tom Schraeder</b></a> put his money where his mouth is in organizing the music for<a href="http://do312.com/event/2012/07/01/uvpettingzoo"><b style="background-color: black; color: #f1c232;"> The Ultra Violet Petting Zoo,</b></a> a fundraising festival for the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Club of Chicago. Now here is a cause we can all agree on. So keep the cause mindful when you pass through the doors (suggested donation is $5 and they are taking stuffed animal donations to hang). This is a family friendly event that has a petting zoo, rides and a boatload of great bands. Tom will be debuting his electronic project, <b>ALLOUT SHELTER</b>. Also notable is the sub-two-minute-song punk stylings of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vortis/70066989660"><b style="color: #783f04;">Vortis</b></a> kicking off the music lineup at 2:15. I have seen them before and I highly recommend you catch their set. I have also seen <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brightonma"><b style="color: #073763;">Brighton MA</b></a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sleepykittymusic?ref=ts"><b style="color: #741b47;">Sleepy Kitty</b></a> (St. Louis), and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhiteMysteryBand"><b style="color: #274e13;">White Mystery</b></a> and all played really good sets. The fest will be held at 2501 W Irving, just west of Western. <br />
<br />
From the official festival release, "A one-day music festival featuring some of Chicago's finest bands
giving back to the city we love. 'The Neighborhood Boys and Girls Club
Carnival' celebrates its 65th year as the cities largest and longest
running carnival. With 28 carnival rides, 12 bands and a petting zoo - the Ultra Violet Petting Zoo was created to
transcend genre and to make a difference in our future. Last year 'Chicago Mixtape' and I helped raise enough money to keep 1500
kids off the streets. This year, Do312 will be curating
the event with me and we're expecting, with your help, to break last
years record. Our city's youth programs are being phased out and
together we can all make a difference!" <br />

They played quite a few new songs including the 'Perpetuator', which has an infectious guitar hook. Some of these new songs have some huge crunching guitars and I am excited to hear them on the album the guys are tracking now! It's fun to see a band perform over a course of years and see them just get tighter and tighter knit like these guys have. Thanks to the guys for the invite! See them play live. I also enjoyed the set by Champaign band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thedirtyfeathers"><span style="background-color: #274e13; color: #d9ead3;">Dirty Feathers</span></a> a nice psych pop/progressive/soul mash up, and also Brooklyn indie rockers<a href="https://www.facebook.com/shakethebaron"><span style="background-color: #783f04; color: #fce5cd;"> Shake The Baron</span></a>. <br />
<br />
Here is Hemmingbirds video for 'Perpetuator' with a straight ahead but effective story line. The lights are a nice touch. <br /><br />
