Kensington Prairie | Captured In Still Life

[anniedale records, April 22, 2008]
Kensington Prairie is Canadian band which will release their debut at April 22 on Anniedale Records. It's solo project of Rebecca Rowan (singer/songwriter of Vancouver’s indie pop Maplewood Lane), her husband Nate Rowan and producer Jonathan Anderson.
The album Captured In Still Life begins with melancholic sweet song Time On Our Side. Rebecca's lead and harmony voice sounds like spring whispering in the cold wind above your head. All ten songs are full of longing and nostalgia. Such feeling surrounds you during whole record. The band uses a lot of instruments like guitars, bass, drums, piano, banjo and much else. So if you like calm and soft music with a little folk influence and also you like sweet and smooth girl vocal that you'll like Kensington Prairie for sure.

I would like to thanks Killbeat Publishing for full release in mp3 :) I really appreciate it.

Iron & Wine | 27-01-2008 | Live in Paradiso | Amsterodam

I'm happy that I found this concert of my favourite band Iron & Wine in Paradiso, Amsterodam. Because I saw them only as support band to Calexico in Zurich in 2006 but not standalone concert. It was excellent more accustic and intimate but shorter and Sean Beam had not as long hair as this year :-) But i still love his voice and music!

RADIOHEAD - IN RAINBOWS (and I know this is album of the year!)

A couple minutes ago my good friend told me that new Radiohead release is OUT! Thanks a lot, Zputnik! ;-)

So new album is entitled In Rainbows and was out from 10th October only via own Radiohead e-shop! Download or pre-order at www.inrainbows.com.

Frontman Thom Yorke said about lyrics concept of album: "It's about that anonymous fear thing, sitting in traffic, thinking, 'I'm sure I'm supposed to be doing something else'... it's similar to OK Computer in a way. It's much more terrifying. But OK Computer was terrifying too - some of the lyrics were."

Release and distribution:
(source: wikipedia)

It is reported that a standard CD version of the album is to be released in early 2008, though this has not been officially confirmed by Radiohead. A special "discbox" will begin being dispatched on or before December 3, 2007 if pre-ordered, through their inrainbows.com website, and will contain the physical album on both CD and two 12" heavyweight vinyl records with made-to-order artwork and lyric booklets. The discbox will also include a second enhanced CD which contains 8 additional tracks, as well as digital photos and artwork. The overall set will be packaged in a hardcover book and slipcase.

While the discbox, which includes the MP3 download, is priced at £40 (about $80 U.S.), the price of download by itself is left up to the buyer. Upon purchase, the buyer is prompted to type their desired price, plus a credit card transaction fee of 45 pence if purchased for more than £0.00.

Tracklist In Rainbows:
15 Steps | Bodysnatchers | Nude | Weird Fishes/Arpeggi | All I Need, |Faust Arp | Reckoner | House of Cards | Jigsaw Falling into Place | Videotape.
Total time: 42:34

I have already pre-ordered their Discbox and now I'm listening In Rainbows in my mp3 player in the meantime. And afrer first listening I can say the album is awesome without doubt. It's breathtaking and you, what do you waiting for? Download or pre-order it! Absolutely the highest recommendation!
