"We don't set out to please people, we set out to please ourselves."
May 7, 2008 7:33 pm I recently reviewed Peter Morén's solo album, and what I wrote was, you could say, lacking in enthusiasm. But the experience of seeing Morén live was so different from listening to the record that I feel compelled to apologize for my earlier views. At the Mercury Lounge Morén combined material from his new solo record, The Last Tycoon, some bits of various Peter, Bjorn and John…
Peter Morén, Mercury Lounge, New York, NY
Retribution Gospel Choir : Retribution Gospel Choir
Low's Alan Sparhawk's goes all grumpy old man on our asses and, with a few exceptions, fails to deliver any notable songs.
Kelley Stolz : Circular Sounds
Stolz sometimes leans too heavily on his influences, but wins when he channels them into his own sound.
Raveonettes : Lust Lust Lust
Are the Raveonettes a one trick pony? Hell, no!
Peter Moren : The Last Tycoon
Peter (of Peter, Bjorn and John fame) shows a slower, less immediately addicting side to his music.
Fire on Fire : Five Song EP
Rustic yet immediate, Fire on Fire are a rambling and joyous breath of fresh air on Gira's Young God imprint.
