New music discoveries
I've recently been going all out to find new music and thought we could use a thread giving each other a head's up on new music we may not have heard of.By new I mean to you,since we have such a variance of ages here I'm sure that some of us may be aware of the artists mentioned but nonetheless I'd like to get an idea of other stuff out there.
If you'd like to add a link or copy and paste an article that'd be great. I'm going to start with Earl Slick and I can't say enough good about his project Zig Zag.10 songs in all the project includes a few instrumentals as well as some special guest singers including David Bowie whom Earl has played with.My personal favs are the songs 1735 and Zig Zag. Here's a little more about him. Earl Slick: Six String Outlaw The image of the journeyman guitarist is one of modern day rock and roll folklore. The idea of the lone gunslinger, a six string outlaw that brings their magic to all the world's stages before riding off into the sunset leaving us to wonder when they will return. Earl Slick has been an in demand guitarist for the better part of 30 years having played on the most pivotal of albums by none other than David Bowie (David Live, Station To Station), John Lennon (Double Fantasy, Milk And Honey) and Ian Hunter (Overnight Angels). However, after years of constant touring and recording, Earl was exhausted spiritually and creatively and headed off for a much-needed break in the early 90s. Disappearing for a few years, Earl was on the road once again with David Bowie in the summer of 2000 and has remained with the band touring numerous times and appearing on Bowie's "Live At The BBC Theatre" and "Reality" albums. Having his creativity sparked by this recent activity, Earl began writing in earnest, the results of which produced his sterling new album "Zig Zag". Eager to talk about his first solo album in 12 years, Earl Slick graciously spoke to MusicTAP recently before finishing the first US leg of Bowie's "Reality Tour" |

Bump
I have had an album of theirs for a couple years but never really listened to it until the last week or so. Very good stuff. Mix of Radiohead, PT, Riverside, Tool, etc. (i guess). Last edited by DMAC; 01-14-2011 at 09:40 AM.. |

I really liked Oracular Spectacular. Not so crazy about their others.

OK, OK, I'll check out Vampire Weekend. In the last few weeks I've heard how good that CD is about 50 times. I guess I need to get it.

check out my solo project Mr. Slick & the Satellites...
I got tired of being in bands and having to rely on other people/ putting up with douchebag industry types, so i decided to lock myself in my laundry room and put together some experimental art rock concept albums where I could let my artistry be the main focus. I don't know of many people who could pull off doing entire albums by themselves like this... interesting to say the least. I recorded all of it with GarageBand on a Mac, played all the instruments and sang.. nobody touched the project but me. (influenced by the beatles, radiohead, science-fiction, and herb.) I dunno how active this thread is but I figured I'd throw it out there! Working on forming a band around it this year so I can play live and design crazy stage setups and just go crazy. Holler at it and let me know what ya think! |
