Skillet - Rise - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

CocoRosie's 7th album-the aptly titled Put The Shine On-is a study in extremes, balancing some of the most pristine and adroit pop songs the band has ever crafted, while simultaneously exploring the most extreme states of human feeling and being-the result being an album that is both pristine and, at times, harrowing.Put The Shine On is a record that luxuriates in extremes, reflecting the pain and confusion of mental and the anguish of unpacking trauma, while also gleefully celebrating the possibility of newness, of wildness, and the ever-present potential for transformation. Nearly two decades deep into a career marked by experimentation and bucking convention, the duo have made what is arguably their most well-considered, emotionally complicated, and sonically adventurous record of their career.Cross-disciplinary performance artists and sisters, Bianca and Sierra Casady, aka CocoRosie. Songs blend a myriad of styles and references, from hip-hop to folk and opera, shaping the most painful of experiences into memorable and evocative pop songs. They have released six albums to date Heartache City (2015), Tales of a Grasswidow (2013), Grey Oceans (2010), The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (2007), Noah's Ark (2005), and debut album La maison de mon rêve (2004).Cited by The XX and Melanie Martinez as a major influence, they recently collaborated with Chance The Rapper on his 'The Big Day' album. Previous musical and artistic collaborations include ANOHNI, Devendra Banhart and experimental theatre director Robert Wilson.

Australian improvising ensemble Tangents return with a 'twin ' that sees 2020's Timeslips complemented with a second album, Chimeras. The Timeslips tracks, which were released in digital-only form under the subdued circumstances of the first COVID wave, are remastered and reissued in the newly merged Timeslips & Chimeras package, receiving a full on 2xLP, CD, and all digital platforms. Timeslips & Chimeras marks the third Tangents issued through the iconic Brooklyn tag Temporary Residence Ltd. (home to Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, MONO, William Basinski and more).The two albums were created in tandem, with much of the material recorded in one day at Sydney's Free Energy Device Studios in 2018. Timeslips leans towards more literal takes on the studio-improvised material, with Tangents' usual blend of ambiguous post-production treatment. Chimeras expands into more constructed passages of iterated overdubs, lo-fi electric jams, additional studio takes and splintered extracts from the Timeslips sessions, offering more extreme twists, turns and stylistic variation through doomy rock and dub drones, ecstatic superjazz and abstract collages.This landmark double comes 3 years after the of New Bodies, the Australian Music Prize nominated album which thrust Tangents' peculiar blend of improvisation and precision production into the international spotlight, a record which, says Grayson Haver Currin of Pitchfork, Inchoverflows with sensations - of being overpowered and delighted, of being buoyed up and washed away by Tangents' seemingly endless ideasInch. More tension and intention pervades Timeslips & Chimeras, demonstrating a thoughtful maturation of improvisational ideas and more abstracted and purposeful production. With breathtaking, rhythmic drumming and skillful production driving the various moods, Timeslips & Chimeras emerges from an even more intense interact

2009 , Skillet's eighth studio album, Awake, recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson. The foursome's overwhelmingly satisfied with the entire sonic and thematic palette throughout Awake, which is loaded with plenty of anthems in the making destined to be smash singles and concert sing-a-longs. Skillet's massive fan base (who affectionately refer to themselves as InchPanheadsInch) are sure to agree, though they'll likely be even more impressed with the lyrical outpouring, which remains a top priority for the players. The album contains 12 tracks, including 'Monster' which were added to their live set during their Comatose Tour, and the single 'Hero'.
