Boards of Canada Tomorrow’s Harvest CD/LP

(Warp)
As anyone who’s browsed any indie music-related news sites in the past couple months has heard at some point, this extremely acclaimed Scottish electronic duo has been building hype for this fourth publicly-released studio album using methods appropriate to their shrouded-in-mystery nature. When an unannounced, ultra-short 12” of theirs was discovered on Record Store Day, their fanbase went wild trying to figure out what any of its cryptic clues might mean, before Boards of Canada finally announced their new full-length. No one was quite sure to expect, considering that 2005’s The Campfire Headphase incorporated guitars in a move unusual (but still absolutely beautiful-sounding) for the group that relied on warm electronic sounds, beats and samples for past work, particularly their stunning and beloved 1998 full-length Music Has The Right to Children. Tomorrow’s Harvest turns out to be their most meditative album yet, flowing and building at a very easy-going pace. While the older BoC albums made me feeling like running through fuzzy childhood memories, this one feels more like gazing at and soaking in nature’s grandeur through the eyes of an adult. The lead single “Reach For The Dead,” for example, matches the desolate beauty of the desert and ghost town in its music video: the hazy ambient synth stretches across the scratchy beats and contemplative electronic melody. The surprisingly friendly-sounding “Cold Earth” takes a similar approach to a sunlit Arctic atmosphere, while the tougher-to-describe “New Seeds” uses a complex series of intricate layers to sound that reminds me of both a forest and post-apocalyptic technology rising. Other favorites include the warm, otherworldly “Nothing Is Real,” which sounds close to BoC’s traditionally analogue-sounding ambience, as well as “Palace Posy:” despite being an anagram for “apocalypse,” it has an appealingly ornate sound, concluding with a rich four-note synth flourish repeating over and over.

Corrections House Hoax The System 7″

(War Crime Recordings)
Here’s a bunch of names with band credentials: SCOTT KELLY (NEUROSIS), MIKE IX (EYEHATEGOD), SANFORD PARKER (NACHTMUSTIUM) and BRUCE LAMONT (BLOODIEST, YAKUZA, SWANS). Forget most of that when it comes to expectations. Also, if you saw them live, forget what you saw because the recording doesn’t come off as off-kilter and noisey as that. It’s definitely more of a metal record than it is a noise record (I wouldn’t have said that about the live show). The B-Side (I’m starting with the B-Side) features some prominent spoken word over a rhythmic drone with sparse percussion and some familiar sounding riffage. The words do start to push the song into a more energetic territory (Zach De La Rocha-esque even; don’t let that put you off). The B-Side is definitely not the stand out. The A-Side, “Hoax The System,” is the one that’ll hook you (if you are looking to be hooked). Militant drumming, repetitive militaristic guitar and general noises give that power electronics delivery with some yelling to drive it in. I would definitely like to hear a full length though it definitely doesn’t make me not want to hear continued Neurosis material and tours instead.

Atoms For Peace Amok

(XL)
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke formed the Los Angeles supergroup Atoms For Peace back in late 2009. He sings and plays both guitar and piano: the other members include Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea on bass, Radiohead producer Nigel Goodrich on synths and keyboards, Beck and R.E.M.’s Joey Waronker on drums and Brazilian Mauro Refosco on percussion. The group’s February 25 debut album Amok sounds more accessible than Yorke’s 2006 solo effort The Eraser: the intricately clicking, minimalist electronic arrangements are most reminiscent of that album’s singles  “Analyse” and “Harrowdown Hill.” Flea’s bass weaves surprisingly smoothly in the mix, sounding funky in a way that’s way more intricate than screamingly colorful. My favorite tracks include the darkly minimalist computer-blip-into-sunset-swell “Default” and the haunting, kinetic “Judge, Jury and Executioner.” More highlights for me include the lively electronic rainforest atmosphere of “Ingenue” and the juxtaposition of energetic percussion atop the stark funereal synth of “Unless.” Overall, this album is a promising sign for things to come from this project: experimental electronic rock that’s easy to get hooked on.

The Manic Low Songs For An Up Day

(Moonlight Graham)
This is certainly an unexpected project from Jack Grisham, who’s best known as a punk vocalist (T.S.O.L., The Joykiller, etc.) Here, he’s impressively skilled at nailing what reminds me of an 80s/90s pop-rock sound, conjuring memories of acts like The Romantics, Counting Crows and Barenaked Ladies. Grisham’s upbeat, well-rounded tunes use layers such as an acoustic guitar, organ and horns to make them even more memorable. The primary theme throughout is love and relationships, with my favorites including the twangy “Good Girls Come Home,” which uses some speedy vocals that reminded me of Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as the flying “Let Me Come Up,” exploring a relationship in which both he and she are “crazy,” but she wants babies and he wants love. An album this lively sounding should appeal to a large audience.
