John Frusciante goes for the EP ... and the album!

John Frusciante is one of those artists who are not with nonsense. If you are for something, go for it bluntly, without getting lost along the way. Now his solo career is your biggest - and only - entertainment so the former guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, apart from confirming the release of an EP (July 17, "Letur-Lefr"), has also done its announcing the release of an LP ...!.

The album in question is called 'Intaglio Funicular PBX Zone "and will be released on September 25. Apparently both releases will be diametrically opposed. The first is a collection of songs recorded in 2010, while "Funicular Intaglio PBX Zone" was conceived and recorded in 2011. Both will be released on vinyl and CD, cassette and digital format (unbelievable but true, cassette).

Frusciante has described the new material as a "progressive syntheses." If I remember "To Record Only Water for Ten Days", released in 2001 and followed that path a bit so it would not be hard to believe that the EP (at least more than the album) could follow the path of the old release guitarist. Anyway Frusciante sure the club with two pitches. So far little has missed this big alternative scene.

Evan Caminiti: Night & Fog

The new solo album by Evan Caminiti (BARN OWL, Higuma) is a nocturnal journey into the vast, barren landscapes, an undirected, sleepy, nebulized glimpse into a shadowy world. Caminitis guitar on "Night Dust" consists mainly of the production of washed-out drones and crumbly structures. These are the rich, constantly in motion interspersed dark backdrop of sporadic and tenuous, fragile melody fragments. Layered knotted, distorted and packed into massive Hall veil, there is a sound that dangles like a Katenoide between earthly and cosmic nebulae distances. Explorative and sometimes more intense than the rather bland BARN OWL oeuvre.

Is "Night Dust" by Evan Caminiti on 15 Published in May 2012 Immune-019 on LP and tape the Thrill Jockey label immune-related.

"Kid A" and "OK Computer" Radiohead's entire 8-bit version

We are used to find popular topics versioned in 8 bits. What is not so common in the network is to find a YouTube user (in this case QuintonSung) has come to convert two entire albums of Radiohead at this intimate format. We are talking about the "Kid A" and "OK Computer", probably the two most legendary albums discography Thom Yorke & co.

It is really interesting to hear from top to bottom the result of this curious experiment. In fact I must admit having had a good surprise to give a touch to the versions of 'Karma Police', 'Paranoid Android' or 'Idioteque', a piece that fits perfectly the essence of this style so typical of our old NES / Master Systems.Great discovery made ​​by Pitchfork!.

Nite Jewel | Memory Man

Am I just stumbled over it and found it very good, anyway. Ramona Gonzalez aka Nite Jewel hails from Los Angeles and has the live video to Memory Man appeared in March on their plate One Second Of Love quite a lively number at the start. The more often you hear the song, the better it is.

Florence + The Machine pull epic in the video for "Breath Of Life '

More than 396,000 views in just two days. The new video for Florence + The Machine is sweeping in large part by the fact that 'Breath Of Life' is part of the soundtrack of the film "Snow White and the Legend of the Hunter". Many images of war - with appearances by actresses Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron - are intertwined with a discreet and desaturated tape of Florence Welch is playing the theme with a large chorus of singers.

The video is just another small trailer of the film but have to admit that this point so epic and monumental helps to emphasize the feeling obtained after listening to 'Breath Of Life'. The more Thor, Bella Swan and more Charlize go on stage, the more there is to know Florence. In this way we win those close to the author of that excellent LP entitled "Lungs".
