grieves: together/apart
I don't listen to much hip-hop/rap, but every year, I fall in love with at least one or two hip-hop albums. For the past few months, Together/Apart by Grieves has been playing a lot on my ipod (it sounds better through headphones vs speakers.) There is something about Together/Apart that is quite compelling—it's probably the autobiographical aspects in Grieves' lyrics. They are sincere, personal and very relatable. Right from the first track, "Lightspeed" takes the listener to various points of Grieves' childhood/adolesence—some are random and some are significant. I personally like the random narratives: "Back then it was all about laughs / Hit the corner store for the new Fleer packs..."; "Time past and the friends found punk yah / Oh whatever man a lot of it was junk / But we loved it made us feel cool little dumb kids / Running round just for fun doing dumb shit..." Meanwhile, Grieves' tales are backdropped by the smooth and minimalistic production by Budo. The multi-instrumentations of piano, drum machine, trumpet, etc. are absolutely perfect; yet, the album sounds far being overproduced. I discover something new/fascinating every time I listen to Together/Apart, for that, I predict it will have tremendous lasting appeal... and I also predict that Together/Apart will appear again in my albums of the year list!

cult of youth: cult of youth
I have been meaning to post about the Cult Of Youth LP since I think May/June but kept forgetting... Anyway, Cult Of Youth is a band from New York City that sounds like something out of an epic, medieval or fantasy adventure movie. It is by far one of the most unique sounding bands/records in recent years. It is quite difficult to describe the sound of Cult Of Youth, it sort of sounds like a combination of The Pogues and Joy Division. It has that aggressiveness raw punk energy while producing a mysteriously dark atmosphere—it is so damn awesome!
