Peter Silberman on making the album "Hospice"
"It's an ambitious project. Were you ever overwhelmed by it? What made it manageable?
For this one I had to work for a very long time on it. I had lot of ideas and needed to filter out the ones I didn't want, and that took a lot longer than I expected. I pieced together sounds and made sense of them and it had to take a long time. I had to obsess over it, get it all out, and get everything exactly where it needed to be. I’m taking a writing break; I’m glad to do it. I worked straight through for a long time and kind of exhausted myself, figuring out what I wanted to do and putting together the album. Now I can sit with it."

The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love 3 (revenge) (mp3)

The Decemberists - Won't Want For Love (Margaret In the Taiga) (mp3)




"it forms a perfect bridge between the old and the new, showing what the Decemberists are capable of, where they're capable of going and in the process reaffirms them as one of the most interesting bands of the decade."

Pomegranates - Everybody, Come Outside!
Myspace / Buy

Pomegranates - Corriander (mp3)

Pomegranates - Everybody, Come Outside! (mp3)





"the music on Everybody, Come Outside! is astonishingly catchy. The album is filled with descending cosmic guitar riffs ringing with reverb set against a great rhythm section and dreamy melodies"

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Myspace / Buy

Phoenix - 1901 (mp3)

Phoenix - Lisztomania (mp3)






""Fast and intense" is how Phoenix's lead singer Thomas Mars describes the band's next record. The Paris-based foursome are men of few words, or maybe few English words and more French ones. Either way, though they've just completed their followup to 2006's It's Never Been Like That, they're not giving away details in any language. But if the record is "fast and intense," then it sounds like it travels further down the same path as It's Never Been Like That, a rougher LP for a band whose discography was all rounded edges and glossy textures."

Brut - Art Brut vs. Satan
Myspace / Buy

Art Brut - The Passenger (mp3)

Art Brut - DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake (mp3)





"ultimately after we've been labelled pure hatred by Art Brut we should be fighting against them, yet this album is so deliciously tight, clean and compelling we simply cannot stop listening."Source:

Röyksopp - Junior
Myspace / Buy

Röyksopp feat. Lykke Li - Miss It So Much (mp3)

Röyksopp feat. Robyn - The Girl And The Robot (mp3)




"Making this new album was like mining in the mountains. When you think of a mine you think of one that is already many kilometres deep, and people work inside it. But sometimes one has to start a new mine, so you start digging the crust of the earth. And we had to find a good spot to start digging."
