Nytt album fra den kritikerroste norske jazz-favoritten PER ZANUSSI og
hans kvintett! Dette er bandets tredje album, og Z5 leverer sterkt personlig musikk med en tung besetning, bestående av 3 saksofoner, bass og
trommer. Frontmann PER ZANUSSI har skrevet all musikken, som kan
beskrives som filmatisk, uttrykksfull og mektig jazz!
Z5, som også inkluderer ROLF-ERIK NYSTRØM, JØRGEN MATHISEN,
EIRIK HEGDAL og GARD NILSSEN i rekkene, gjør en rekke konserter
land og strand i løpet av april og mai.

Mer enn fem år har gått siden utgivelsen av Faking the Books (MM 044),
Lali Punas tredje album, men bandets innvirkning på klimaet i elektronisk
rock er fortsatt følbar. Sammen med søstergruppen The Notwist, har
kvartetten hjulpet til med å kartlegge det musikalske landskapet for moderne,
eksperimentell popmusikk, og på Our Inventions finner vi et Lali Puna som
fortsetter å flytte grenser. “Morr Music didn’t invent indie-infused electro-pop, but
the German label put an indelible stamp on it over the last decade. Three of its definitive
bands-- the Notwist, Tied & Tickled Trio, and Lali Puna-- share members, not to mention
a knack for emotive electro-acoustic melodies. But each band has its own angle.
The Notwist go for the broadest appeal, and tend to hit big or mildly miss. T&T is the
most obscure, in both style and profile. Lali Puna is the most polished and consistent.
Their music is reserved, in a way that seems old-fashioned: more like Stereolab
in the 1990s than the demonstrative electro-pop of today.” PITCHFORK

Devil’s Halo, MESHELL NDEGEOCHELLOs åttende album, er innspilt uten
“studiofusk”, med fokus på musikalitet, energi og bandfeeling.
Inspirasjonene strekker seg fra HUMAN LEAGUE via WU-TANG CLAN til
YES, og anmeldere har i tillegg nevnt RADIOHEAD, THE PRETENDERS,
JONI MITCHELL, DAVID BOWIE og ISAAC HAYES. Det varierende
uttrykket er mildest talt inspirerende, så denne kommer til å bli sittende
fast i en del cd-spillere denne våren! Gjestemusikere er LISA GERMANO
og OREN BLOEDOW (CHOCOLATE GENIUS).

PEGGY SUE er en ung indierock-trio, som opprinnelig kommer fra Brighton, men nå er
basert I London. Etter hard turnévirksomhet fikk de albumkontrakt med Wichita, og dette
albumet er innspilt i New York og Brighton med produsenter som JOHN ASKEW
(DODOS), ALEX NEWPORT (AT THE DRIVE-IN), STEVE ANSELL (BLOOD RED SHOES)
og BEN MUMFORD (MUMFORD & SONS). Fossils and Other Phantoms veiver mellom
taggete garage-blues, skitten lo-fi og deilig rock med passe jypling-punkete attitude, men
stadig med folk-undertoner, takket være et ofte semi-akustisk lydbilde og underliggende
trekkspill. Et flott album, som fans av PJ HARVEY, COCO ROSIE, JENNY LEWIS og
CAT POWER gjør klokt i å sjekke ut! 5/6 SPIRIT 4/5 THE GUARDIAN 4/5 ROCK FEEDBACK

Rafters nye langspiller, Animal Feelings, er en pop-eksplosjon i Technicolor hvor det
høres ut som om Nintendo-komponisten Koji Kondo har vært på band camp med Cody
Chesnutt, Justin Timberlake, og Tom Tom Club. Rafters historie og påvirkninger,
hans drømmer og ambisjoner, og hans kjærlighet til kjærlighet, kommer alle sammen som
en søt, morsom, høyttalerblåsende, ridetur inn i kjernen av pop og R’N’B. Rafter vil fortelle
deg at Animal Feelings, hans fjerde LP for Astmathic Kitty er ”a marriage record, a lust
record, a death and sex record.”, en idépakket piknik av filosofier og frykt, av bekreftelser
og spørsmål. Som alltid, er platen et personlig stykke musikk og Rafter har mye å fortelle
deg. Velger du å lytte er du inne på dansegulvet, alternativet er å bli stående utenfor
klubben, mens den matte lyden av beats høres dempet og daff gjennom veggene.

records I’ve ever listened to or reviewed, none caused me the actual physical pain
and discomfort I experienced while enduring this assault. Unlistenable and downright migraine inducing, I cannot in any way recommend this to anyone other than
professional torturers who seek to add a new form of torment to their inhuman bag

imagine their more highly-evolved pop might sound like: shiny soul music with robots and
humans singing together. We are sending a pop music message through time.”
So says The Apples in stereo / Elephant 6 collective mastermind Robert Schneider.
The Apples’ new album and seventh studio effort, Travellers in Space and Time is the
follow-up to their critically acclaimed hit album New Magnetic Wonder and their second
release in association with Elijah Wood’s Simian Records.
Travellers finds the studio-obsessed indie rockers continuing the hook-heavy pop mastery they
achieved on New Magnetic Wonder, an album that spawned performances on Conan O’Brien
and Stephen Colbert, along with numerous commercial placements (Pepsi, Samsung, New
Balance) and even a performance of hit single “Energy” by the contestants of American Idol.
Well over a year in the making, the new material recasts the Apples’ signature pop sounds
in chrome-plated futurism, all while adding a dance-driven vibe channeling ELO, Barry Gibb,
Wild Honey-era Beach Boys and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson.

JOHN GRANT
THE QUEEN OF DENMARK
Bella Union
BELLACD 235
CD
0602527338583
Everyone has a favorite band or singer they reckon is subject to criminal neglect. That John Grant’s effortlessly
rich, expansive baritone, couched in typically heartbreaking, lush melody, hasn’t found a wider audience indeed
drives his fans to consider a crime. But no longer. Because Grant’s first solo album, following three undervalued
studio albums (and one similar covers compilation) fronting The Czars, is so undeniably great that the world
will surely listen. It’s a record of gravitas and grace, of FM melody magic laced with raw emotional bleeding. It
asks why relationships are roulette and love is hell in a last-ditch attempt at self-improvement and atonement
after a decade of alcohol and cocaine dependency. It’s not overstating the case to say – as John has himself in
a recent issue of MOJO - that he’s contemplated suicide. And yet there is redemption in its exquisite grooves.
And on top, to further the album’s brilliance, Grant’s backing band on the album are Denton, Texas’ mightiest –
MIDLAKE - contributing their most empathic ‘70s-style soft-rock know-how. Put simply, Queen Of Denmark is
the record Grant’s been waiting his whole life to make. Queen Of Denmark was recorded in Denton in two fourmonth stints – July-October 2008 and May-July 2009 - in the studio downtime while Midlake were painstakingly
recording their own album (The Courage Of Others). Every Midlake member chipped in but Paul Alexander
and guitarist Eric Pulido, who co-produced the album with John, are on every track alongside drummer McKenzie Smith. John reserves special mention for Paul’s basslines. “They were outrageous, off the fuckin’ hook.
Some evenings, we couldn’t stop smiling and laughing because I was so excited about his work.” The whole
Denton experience, he adds, “was really uplifting. It was emotional and painful too but Midlake believed in me
and told me, ‘people need to hear you, and we’re going to make it happen.” Queen Of Denmark moves through
simple piano settings (the lovestruck ballad ‘Caramel’ and the intriguing Scott Joplin-meets-Beatles ragtime of
‘Silver Platter’), via an infusion of period-perfect synths (the rockier ‘Sigourney’, a sultry ‘It’s Easier’) that epitomise the lonely mood. There’s flute from Midlake frontman Tim Smith on the dreamiest cut (and there is stiff
competition) ‘Marz’, and velvet strings (‘Dreams’, which imagines Scott Walker influenced by Patsy Cline, and
the darker drama ‘Leopard’). There are allusions to higher beings (‘Outer Space’) and to human weaknesses
(‘JC’). There is pure longing regret in the opening ‘TC And Honeybear’ and bitterly sarcastic, amped-up anger
in the magnificent title track finale. Pain, hope, fear, regret, anger, self-flagellation and self-discovery - Queen
of Denmark has it all.

CD
8024391045527
ASIA, rock’s first important super-group of the 80s - featuring members from Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer,
King Crimson and The Buggles – will release Omega, its highly anticipated new album of original material.
The record is due in the spring of 2010 on Frontiers Records. Geoffrey Downes, Steve Howe, Carl
Palmer and John Wetton, the four original Asia members, reunited in 2006, twenty-three years after
all four had last played together. The much publicised reunion resulted in highly successful world tours,
a double live LP and DVD (entitled Fantasia: Live In Tokyo) and an acclaimed studio album Phoenix in
2008 which debuted at number 73 in the Billboard charts in the USA and entered the top 100 in several
European countries. The reunion came to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band, but morphed itself
into an ongoing endeavour. In 2008, they returned with the first new studio album, Phoenix, which had
been strongly influenced by the fusion of talents and heritages that the band excited the music world with
back in 1982. Omega shows a new renaissance for this amazing group of musicians, which seem to live
up to a joie-de-vivre that stands the test of time. Begun during the summer 2009, the writing and recording sessions of Omega, immediately showed inspiration and good feelings. “We were looking to create
something different with Omega,” says keyboardist Geoff Downes. “Of course, the sound of the 4 band
members of Asia will always have a certain hallmark when we play together. That’s a given. But we approached the song writing with a mind to getting a degree of variety into these compositions. Hence, you
will hear areas of textures where arguably we have never gone before.” Adds lead vocalist/bassist/guitarist
John Wetton: “Asia is an English prog-rock band with a pop edge, always has been, and hopefully always
will be. Accessible, melodic, anthemic songs with great playing, luxuriating in a bed of lush orchestration,
with lyrics that strike a sympathetic chord in even the most cynical heart. There you have it, Omega is
a themed album in Asia’s fine tradition, without the millstone of a concept.” As with the most popular of
ASIA releases, the cover art specifically designed for the project by acclaimed artist Roger Dean. The
concept of the title (Omega), and the ‘Year of the Tiger’ referencing of the cover art underline the fact that
this is real Asia. John Wetton explains: “The title ‘Omega’, as any fan of the band will tell you, is ‘very
Asia’ (as is the album, by the way). It no more means ‘final’ than ‘Alpha’ means ‘the first’ (which it wasn’t).
It’s a great sounding/looking word, and a bookend to ‘Alpha’. In many ways, musically and conceptually,
the two albums share commonality.”

Et av vårens mest etterspurte album!
If you think you know Caribou, think again. Dan Snaith’s new album, Swim is the sound of
the musical glass ceiling being blown away.
If there is a link to previous album Andorra, it would be in the ravishing explosions of sound
pulsing through album closer ‘Niobe’. A continuum of sorts leads us to 2010, but that finale
gives mere hints as to the future Caribou. From the opening effervescent gambol of ‘Odessa’
to the glorious odyssey of ‘Jamelia’, it’s crystal clear that Caribou has made a massive leap
forwards, upwards and sideways.
Dan’s latest recording sees him getting busy in the basement with some expertly
constructed, rave-tinged sounds that sing with soul. But that’s not all. As a songwriter
of considerable standing, Dan has not subsumed his uniquely recognisable touch in
an orgy of technical bliss – although, there is plenty of euphoria in the musical alchemy on offer. From Dan’s perspective, he says, “The most important thing for me with
this record was finding my own sonic vocabulary. That’s why I’m proud of this record.”
Swim is full of brightly textured, rapturous gems that gleam with astonishing production – and then wrenches at your heart with soulful, thoughtful reveries on the passing of time, family history and the breakdown of relationships. “There are songs about
growing old in a relationship, about divorce and loneliness in old age but the lyrics
are generally pretty abstract sketches of what’s going on in the situation in my head.”
Ready for the new Caribou future?

CD
One of contemporary musics true originals, the inimitable songs of Nick Drake are often difficult to
imagine having been influenced by anyone but himself. But as with all true musical giants, Drakes
compositions and style were informed by a diverse range of musicians, songwriters and performers who
came before. From the sublime finger-picking and glorious tunes of the wholly under-rated Bert Jansch
to the country blues styles of Big Bill Broonzy and Reverend Gary Davis - via Donovan, The Yardbirds
and Miles Davis, he listened to all of them and many others besides. The inspiration these mavericks
provided motivated the often manically depressed Nick Drake into writing , recording and, on the very
rare occasion, performing some of the most beautiful music ever written albeit, tragically, the process
would contribute in no small way to his untimely death at the age of just 26. This compilation traces
the roots of Nick Drakes astonishing music and features all of the above mentioned artists and many
others with 24 superb and moving tracks in all. 24 tracks which now can be appreciated all together on
this collection ,enabling the appreciation of where this mysterious and legendary figure found much of
his musical muse and hopefully, for a man often tortured by his own existence, at least a little comfort.

The long wait is finally over! The Radio Department’s ”Clining to a scheme” is without doubt
this year’s most eagerly anticipated Swedish indie pop album. It’s been four long years, but
a simple press on Play and you’ll know it’s been worth every second. “Clinging to a scheme”
combines the best components from their previous albums “Lesser matters” and “Pet grief”
with soul guitars, P-funk, cut/paste-beats and 70’s futuristic orchestra. Breathtaking!
The Radio Dept. arrived with their album “Lesser matters” in 2003 which is commonly referred
to as the most important Swedish indie pop album of the 21st century. It was embraced by
press and fans all over the world. They had no less than two “Single of the week” in the NME
and it, not surprisingly, ended up Top10 on the NME’s “Album of the year”-list. In 2006 Sophia
Coppola chose to feature three of their songs in the film Marie Antoinette that further helped
them to achieve worldwide recognition and the same year the chart-topping and critically
acclaimed album “Pet grief” was released. In the end of 2009 “Lesser matters” came to be
one out two Swedish albums to appear on NMEs Greatest Albums of the Decade-list.
“This album is a miniature classic - here’s hoping indie snobbery doesn’t condemn it to the mists
of time (The Top 100 Greatest Albums of the Decade)” NME
The Radio Department’s releases have been referred to as The perfect mix between Saint
Etienne and early The Jesus and Mary Chain and The best songs Pet Shop Boys never
wrote and the album you’d hoped My Bloody Valentine did after ”Loveless”. And perhaps
both comparisons makes sense. In a way. But the truth is that Sweden’s No. 1 alternative
pop geniuses only sound like one band - themselves.
The band will do a handful of gig in May this year and a longer tour is expected in the fall of
2010.

man at nearly 21 on bass) and Rebecca Coleman (keyboards and vocals). It (Avi Buffalo) is
also the name of his/their debut full-length album, which we are just ridiculously puffed-up
about releasing on April 27, 2010.
By the time you read this, they will pretty much all be out of high school. They’ve toured with
Beach House, Final Fantasy, opened for Vampire Weekend and found fans at KCRW and
Steve Lamacq at the BBC. That’s where they are now: about to follow their first ten songs
into the outside world, about to celebrate a 21st birthday and about to settle into something
that they could do for the rest of their lives.
Note! The version of “What’s In It For?” to be found on the album is the same as the one
found on the “What’s In It For?” 7” single that we released back in December. The version of
“Jessica” on the album is altogether different from the version that is the b-side of that same
single.

After three critically acclaimed solo records, dozens of world tours and TV appearances, Jesse Malin found himself back in
New York City questioning his next move. From his days fronting seminal hardcore trio Heart Attack and glam punks D Generation, then seven years on the road as a solo artist, Malin had cultivated a devout fan base. He’d shared stages with everyone from The White Stripes to Counting Crows, The Hold Steady to Lucinda Williams, but felt like he was losing the plot.
Malin contemplated going back to school, becoming a standup comedian or a Las Vegas wedding DJ, and even
started work on a documentary film about DC hardcore Rastafarians The Bad Brains. For over a year he didn’t play
or record. When asked by a Hollywood screenwriter to pen songs for a film about author J.D. Salinger, Malin — a fan
of Catcher in the Rye and other Salinger works — traveled to Cornish, NH hoping to speak to the famous recluse.
In typical punk-rock fashion, instead of getting the interview, Malin landed at the local precinct for trespassing and
was released only after the cops watched his video duet with Bruce Springsteen for “Broken Radio” on YouTube
and were convinced he was just a writer doing research. Though he never met Salinger (who passed away this past
January), Malin made the most of the experience by writing “The Archer” and “Lonely at Heart”—two songs that
would make him want to work again and become the basis for his new album.
Over the summer of 2009, in the basement of Avenue A watering hole Hi-Fi, the songs came forth. Malin, with
impresario Don DiLego, drummer Randy Schrager, guitarist Matt Hogan, and bassist/DJ Tommy USA, worked with
his newly formed band to bash out an album’s worth of gritty anthems, and The St. Marks Social was born. A solid
band, but one with an open door to Malin’s community of musician friends - longtime partner in crime Ryan Adams,
pop singer Mandy Moore, fellow label mate Brian Fallon, and former bandmates from D Generation Howie Pyro
and Danny Sage - the Social is a group effort to keep the P.M.A. Says Malin, “To me, rock ‘n’ roll is an exorcism that
begins every night when the sun goes down, the music starts playing, and the spirits start flowing. It helps to say
things in public over dirty microphones. It’s a way to spit out the poison.”
When Jesse met producer Ted Hutt (Lucero, Flogging Molly, The Gaslight Anthem) one drunken night at a local bar,
their talk of making a record fast, loose, and raw, was the beginning of Hutt’s quest to create a record that would
encompass Malin’s roots and evolution—from hardcore thrasher to punk/folk singer-songwriter. The album’s basic
tracks were laid in three days at Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s Mission Studios, and the rest at Sonic Youth’s Think Tank
Studios in Hoboken, NJ. Filled with the characters Malin does best—messengers and misanthropes, hipsters and
hypocrites—and as always, his constant themes of redemption, nightlife, heartbreak, and survival, LOVE IT TO
LIFE—a sentiment taken from a ticket stub Joe Strummer autographed for Jesse—was built with desperate optimism
that shouts in gang vocals that no matter how bad it gets, you’re never alone.

Prosthetic Records is proud to unveil the debut album ‘The Descent’ from Norway’s MANTRIC.

Fusing a unique, distinctly Scandinavian take on rich, challenging metal and modern punk with
a powerful progressive edge, MANTRIC recorded “The Descent” in Norway, with studio guru
Tue Madsen handling mixing and mastering duties. Prosthetic Records quickly recognized
that something rather special was developing and are now very happy to have MANTRIC
as part of their diverse roster.
MANTRIC are the first worldwide signing of a European band to Prosthetic Records and
vocalist and guitarist Ole Sveen commented, “Our first album using the Mantric-name does to
our ears deserve to get out to lovers of hard music all over the world, and Prosthetic makes
this possible.
Our music embraces creativity and originality outside the limits of narrow genres, so it suits
us fine to deal with a label that also values this. This is a release that is both accessible and
original, catchy and complex at the same time, and we can’t wait to get it out!”.
MANTRIC will showcase “The Descent” with a selection of gigs across Norway around the
release date before embarking on UK, European and North American tours to support
the album throughout 2010.
“The Descent” is truly urgent music - just as great, challenging heavy music should be. Enjoy.

Broken Social Scene will be releasing their new album on May 3rd, 2010 on City Slang / Cooperative
Music. Produced by Tortoise’s John McEntire at Soma Studios in Chicago, with additional recording
at Giant Studio and The Schvitz Studio in Toronto, the new album is the follow up to their acclaimed
self-titled sophomore record, released in 2005.
The new record was written and arranged by the Canadian collective’s current line-up:
Founders Kevin Drew (guitars/vocals) and Brendan Canning (bass/vocals) Justin Peroff (drums)
Charles Spearin (guitars), Andrew Whiteman (guitars) and Sam Goldberg (guitars) Lisa Lobsinger.
(vocals). The album features guest turns by BSS alumni: Leslie Feist, Amy Millan and Evan Cranley
of Stars, Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric, Jason Collett, Ohad Benchetrit, John Crossingham, Marty Kinack, Leon Kingstone, Julie Penner. The record also includes contributions by The Sea
and Cake’s Sam Prekop, John McEntire, Sebastian Grainger, and The Weakerthans’ Jason Tait.
With their new album, the first Broken Social Scene record following the acclaimed Broken Social
Scene Presents… series (which saw Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning each stretching their wings
with incredible solo outings), Broken Social Scene decided it was time to try something new. As a core
six-piece who had spent most of 2007 and 2008 on the road, Drew, Canning, Spearin, Whiteman,
Goldberg and Peroff spent early 2009 working on new material in Toronto. The pairing down of the
band’s massive personnel list for the first time proved extremely fruitful; they created spacious songs
written as a band by a band, resulting in more cohesive, melody-driven compositions than previous BSS
output. They then decamped to Chicago, recording outside of Toronto for the first time, which allowed
them to fully immerse themselves in the recording process. In producer John McEntire – a musical hero
for many of the band’s members – they found a fresh perspective on their own sound; this continued
to fuel the creative process, resulting in nearly 30 songs written in and out of the studio, a number of
which were put together as the first new Broken Social Scene record in five years.
The new record is, like all Broken Social Scene albums, a record driven by love.

Rooms’ and ‘Charlotte’ followed, as well as their second album ‘Movements’, which is regarded as
one of the last decade’s classic electronic albums. 5 years on and with the release of their fourth LP,
the duo prove they are still hungry for More! “The album is called More!. More refined production,
more multi-layered atmospheres, more emotion.” Explains Arno Kammermeier (one half of Booka
Shade), “We wanted this album to be more energetic with strong grooves and of course the typical
Booka Shade melodies and atmospheres that we love. The album takes you through every stage
of the night out; the excitement before you go out, the party, the late, late night, a bit of paranoia....
and then the sunny morning of a new day.” Across the album, Arno, and the other half of Booka
Shade, Walter Merziger delve deeper than ever before, delivering what has to be their most dynamic
and accomplished album to date, which is saying something for Booka Shade! For the first time on
any of their albums they’ve collaborated with guest vocalists, sharing the limelight with electronic
pioneers Yello and Get Physical favourite Chelonis R. Jones. “We’re so excited about 2010 and
taking the new album on the road. We’ve been working on these songs in the studio for the last 18
months and now is the time to hear them loud!” Arno continues, “The world tour will start in February with us headlining the Future Music Festival in Australia, followed by club shows in key cities
throughout Europe and a short trip to the U.S. to introduce the album Stateside. I can safely say we
have a big summer of festivals in front of us too!”. Indeed they do, with the full live schedule to be announced very soon, including (for the first time ever) a fully live UK tour, taking in all the major cities
across the country (see below for a preview of confirmed dates). Until then, please log on to Booka
Shade’s website to download Regenerate, one of the stand-out tracks from the album that will not

the Bunker in Brooklyn, the album sees production duties handled by The Black Keys,
along with shared duties between the band, Mark Neill, and their old friend Danger
Mouse, who lends his skilled hands to a new track. Tchad Blake brings his sonic excellence into the fold to handle mixing duties… Muscle Shoals has produced iconic recordings from The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and Wilson Pickett, among many others…
Carney admits Brothers is the album they’ve always wanted to make and taps into their creative
force as a duo. “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, we’re brothers, and I think
these songs reflect that.ˇ The ghosts of Muscle Shoals inhabit Brothers’ 15 tracks. Of the album,
Auerbach says, “We like spooky sounds… like Alice Coltrane, where a dark groove is laid down.
That’s the headspace we tried to get into for this record.ˇ The album includes the Danger Mouseproduced song “Tighten Upˇ and a cover of the Jerry Butler classic “Never Gonna Give You Up.ˇ
Its been an remarkable couple of years for THE BLACK KEYS… Their last album, 2008’s
“Attack & Releaseˇ, was by far their most successful to date, and the year culminated with
them playing a sell-out show at Brixton Academy in London… Early 09 saw Black Keys
singer/guitarist DAN AUERBACH venture out on his own with a critically-acclaimed solo
album, “Keep It Hidˇ, that covered a variety of musical styles from psychedelia and soul
via gospel and bluegrass. Late 2009 saw the Keys spread their wings further with their
celebrated BLAKROC project, an exhilarating collaboration between themselves and a

Harvey Milk’s “A Small Turn of Human Kindness,” is the difference between watching a movie
like Irreversible vs. watching a movie like Independence Day. Both good films, however the first
stimulates a foreign mixture of emotions that require you to sleep it off, whereas the latter
concludes with you feeling comfortable with the fact that you’re a lazy, wasteful, culturally
sequestered American who has sat through this fucking movie way too many times in his/her
life! So, I think you get the idea, “A Small Turn of Human Kindness,” is as dense and as heavy
temperamentally as it is musically. The seven songs so subtly bleed together that the listener
has no choice, but to view the entire album as a linear orchestration with a singular ebb and
flow. A rising and falling action, refined to hell and back. And so, all of these things lead me to
believe that any and all true Harvey Milk fans will eventually argue this record as the band’s
finest work. Or at least the vinyl version will become the quintessential mantle-piece for a
generation of suburban children slumming it in the inner city you know who you are!
BIO:
Harvey Milk is a sludge/noise rock outfit formed in the early 1990’s from savannah,
Georgia. Harvey Milk disbanded around 1997. Due to increased popularity while the group was
no longer active, the band reformed (around 2008). Hydra Head released the bands first new
record after the hiatus, “Life the Best Game in Town....” “A Small Turn of Human Kindness” is
title of the first track on the band’s first proper release... and their seventh proper full-length
