mewithoutYou - Pale Horses - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

MewithoutYou returns with their 5th studio album, TEN STORIES. Helmed by producer Daniel Smith (Sufjan Stevens) and mixed by Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins), TEN STORIES is an allegorical collection of songs that, at first listen, follows a winding narrative about a circus train crash in 19th century Montana. Long time fans will know that although we are introduced to a talking elephant, fox and tiger, there is always more then meets the eye. Album Tracks 1. February, 1878 2. Grist for the Malady Mill 3. East Enders Wives 4. Cardiff Giant 5. Elephant in the Dock 6. Aubergine 7. Fox's Dream of the Log Flume 8. Nine Stories 9. Fiji Mermaid 10. Bear's Vision of St. Agnes 11. All Circles

In upstate New York, deep in the seam between the Catskills mountains and the Hudson Valley, a richly swelling, spellbound sound emerges, eddying and flowing like the local Esopus Creek, or in the slipstream of the grander Hudson river, carrying the flotsam and jetsam of our hopes, dreams, fears. A sound composed of organic and electronic; guitars, keys, brass, strings, woodwind, drums - and a voice of incantations, tapping streams of consciousness that similarly eddy and flow. Spiritually, literally, psycho-geographically where else does Mercury Rev's ninth album Born Horses spring from? This cascade of gleaming, glistening psych-jazz-folk-baroque-ambient quest that searches it's soul but can never truly know the answer? A sound and vision linked to their exalted past whilst quite unlike anything they have created before? The answer is somewhere between the homes of founder members Jonathan Donahue (the hamlet of Mt Tremper) and Grasshopper (the town of Kingston), in their veins and brains of their now-legendary tapping of musical cosmology, and the vital presence of new permanent member Marion Genser (keys), plus long-term ally Jesse Chandler (keys) and guests Jeff Lipstein (drums), Martin Keith (double bass) and Jim Burgess (trumpet). A place that feeds off the levitating mood of their last album, 2019's expansive tribute Bobbie Gentry's The Delta Sweete Revisited, and the instrumental psych explorations under the names of Harmony Rockets and Mercury Rev's Clear Light Ensemble, and the spiritual guidance of avant-garde artist Tony Conrad and Beat poet Robert Creeley, to whom Born Horses is dedicated. Album Tracks 1. Mood Swings 2. Ancient Love 3. Your Hammer, My Heart 4. Patterns 5. A Bird of No Address 6. Born Horses 7. Everything I Thought I Had Lost 8. There's Always Been a Bird in

Straight from the praries of Kortrijk, WHORSES have buckeld themselves firmly in the sadlle of the Belgian rock scene since they struck their fiorst note, somewhere back in 2017. These four cowboys found each other in a mutual quest for something new. As boundless as their music, WHORSES debuts with an 18-track double album, and although there might be some signs of schizophrenia showing, this true pièce de resistance breaths honesty and pure expression through every pore. WHORSES is a band of extremes, bringing out the roughest and softest in themselves and in everyone who dares to dive into that pool of blunt, deep cutting, ever evolving and limitless sounds. Album Tracks 1. Have You Seen Bob 2. Splinters 3. Motherfucker 4. Five Minute Bike Ride 5. Bounce 6. Rattlerat 7. Soy Cuck 8. Black Museum 9. Meatball Sub 10. Bye Bye Memory 11. Shaking 12. Random Luck 13. Stranger 14. Ol' Company 15. Attitude 16. Humble 17. Broken Plates 18. Up to Town
