Skyharbor - Sunshine Dust - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

UK 2-CD set. InchDrummer wanted. Young, slim, must look, act and think like a star. No beards, no chrome-domes, no fattiesInch. So ran The Hollywood Brats' infamous 1972 advert in Melody Maker. Born out of the imagination of singer Andrew Matheson and his musical ally and partner in crime Casino Steel, the band went on to lay the foundations of what would become punk-rock, guzzling up every gallon of glitter juice they could black and leaving no stiletto unturned along the way. London's hottest nightspots became their playground, Keith Moon their cheerleader and every record tag in town detested them. Freddie Mercury was punched in the face and Malcolm McLaren sent home disappointed as The Brats moved at the speed of light through a London that was doing it's best to remember how it'd swung. Over the years, material has crept out in one form or another, but here, in 2016, is the definitive sonic record of The Hollywood Brats, as selected and conducted by the band themselves. Sick On You, Matheson's account of the band's story, was the must-read rock book of 2015 (Mojo Magazine's Book Of The Year).

On Spectre, their 4th album as Lightning Dust, Amber Webber and Josh Wells embrace as their sole-focus what was once a side-project, thus crafting their most refined and powerful album to date. After co-founding and touring with Black Mountain for over a decade, the duo departed from the band to further their own longterm creative partnership. Lightning Dust has evolved noticeably with each , from the spare, dark folk of their self-titled debut, to the synth and drum machine-heavy 2013 album Fantasy. However, the through-line of their discography has been Wells' deft production tailored perfectly around Webber's modestly iconic voice which stirred Pitchfork write of their 2009 LP Infinite Light that Webber's was Inchone of the fiercest, most stirring vocal performances of any this year.Inch In this sense the tracks on Spectre echo the spirits of quintessential rock vocalists like Grace Slick and Beth Gibbons, throughout a collection of songs that range from expertly sculpted folk-rock ear candy, to sparse Judee Sill-esque ballads consisting of little more than piano and voice. Written during the devastating forest fires that filled her hometown of Vancouver with smoke and a sense of apocalyptic doom, album opener InchDevoted ToInch captures Webber's resilience and determination to reestablish her creative independence as she sings InchI will find my way back in even if I never sleep... Gotta find my way back in, it's all that I believe.Inch Propulsive rocker InchRun AwayInch is an observation of the human need for change. Amber explains, InchIt was written in response to friends leaving their soul crushing jobs. I wanted to write a song that flip-flopped between the glorious freedom they felt upon leaving, and moments of despair that came afterward.Inch Shining an optimistic light on her departure from Black Mountain on the anthemic InchWhen It RainsInch Webber sin
