| TheUse Feat. Rachel Mason & Black Saturn TheUse Feat Rachel Mason & Black Saturn Aagoo Records has announced they will release a 7″ single from producer/composer TheUse (real name Michael Durek). The lead track 'On My Deathbed' is a dark but upbeat composition. Renowned artist Rachel Mason lends haunting vocals set to the English translation of poetry by Xu Lizhi, a young poet who committed suicide after working at an electronics factory in China. His powerful words are part of the global wake-up call about the hazards of the electronics industry and his story has made international news, underlined by TIME Magazine's infamous 'The Poet Who Died For Your Phone'... OTHER HOUSES "Fabulous Dates" Fabulous Dates is the second full-length from Other Houses, aka Morgan Enos of Hollow Sunshine and Hheaven. Affectionately referred to by its creator as "my punk album", Dates is a hurled cherry bomb of glorious songwriting. Both extremes of Other Houses' mid-fi sound are taken deeper and further, with baroque harpsichords and strings a la "Sgt. Pepper's" and "Smile" careening headlong into jagged noise. It's a beautiful mess, one which betrays the young, prolific Enos as a student of rock and roll and a songwriting force to be reckoned with. write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
