Dyke Drama - Up Against The Bricks - VINYL LP

The songs on this album are not as well known as other works by these three composers, but this more intimate form of expression often goes straight to the heart and soul of their work. Tchaikovsky wrote songs throughout his life, and it is easy to find autobiographical parallels in his chosen themes of love and longing. Rimsky-Korsakov's songs are characterized by tender lyricism, while Rachmaninov's wordless Vocalise has become one of his most famous melodies. Margarita Gritskova was born in 1987 in St. Petersburg. She is a prizewinner of the Luciano Pavarotti Competition in Modena, and the Concurso Internacional de Canto 'Villa de Colmenar Viejo' in 2010. She has performed in Carmen under the direction of Mariss Jansons in St. Petersburg, and appeared at world renowned festivals across the globe.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 , a concept album from the respected British Indie rockers. Age of Reason tells the story of Big Trev, a man frustrated with his lot and determined to change his life. The album is narrated by the Shend (of the Cravats and the Very Things) who plays the voice of the story's hero. Produced once again by the inimitable Anthony Chapman (Collapsed Lung, Bis, Klaxons, Ten Benson), the album is a more mature take on the angular agit-pop of their previous outings. The cheese-wire treble of the guitars remains, the bass thuds and booms and the drums clatter at light speed, but the songs contained in Sarandon's Age of Reason are more carefully crafted and arranged. There are songs to make you shout and songs to make you sing. There are even songs to make you dance. Sarandon is back with a vengeance back to rescue you all from the mundane of modern la-la-love-you Indie Pop.
