Laurie Anderson

Homeland

CD/DVD release.

2010 album from the performance artist and avant-garde Post-Punk heroine. Homeland contains some of Anderson’s most incisive work,—darkly humorous, starkly emotional, and, at times, movingly tender.

Her stories are once again about these United States of America, the sprawling subject that first brought her acclaim more than 25 years ago with her eight-hour Reagan era phantasmagoria, United States, Parts I - IV.

Homeland is a distilled, up-to-the-minute portrait of our agitated nation, its politics, its economics, its delusions and its dreams.

Her tone is less outraged than elegiac, mourning for lives lost, ideals misplaced.

The music is dramatically stripped down to a handful of players, centered around Anderson’s haunting violin and voice, frequent Bill Frisell band-mate Eyvind Kang’s viola and Peter Scherer’s keyboards.

Chemical Brothers

Further

2010 album from the British Electronic duo. It starts with what sounds like an alien morse code transmission; Earth bound signals bouncing off the side of orbiting space debris. Snatches of voices found out in the ether cut through the machine fog, drifting across burbling analogue equipment lovingly kept working long after supposed sell-by date.

By the time the click and thump of snare and bass drum arrive, the sounds are all-encompassing, swirling around you with dizzying, disorientating effect.

Noises come untethered by constraints of volume, seemingly leaping from the speakers with a life of their own. For a band used to dealing in psychedelics, this time round The Chemical Brothers have really pushed the proverbial envelope.

Deluxe CD/DVD edition includes a bonus DVD containing promo films for all eight album tracks.

Improvised.Electronic.Device

“‘I.E.D.’ is definitely furthering the direction of the band and sound, creatively and artistically,” explains founder and mastermind behind FLA, Bill Leeb. “We’re finding new ways to make sound.”

Steve Mason

Boys Outside

2010 album from the British singer/songwriter, formerly with The Beta Band, King Biscuit Time and Black Affair.

Boys Outside appears under his own name, because, he says, he’s had enough of all the aliases, and because, more than ever in his life, he’s comfortable in his own skin.

Also, he’s proud of these 10 songs, whose sparse, haunting arrangements bespeak economy, maturity and focus.

Boys Outside is fully the equal of The Beta Band’s The Three EP’s, packed with inventively sculpted sounds and sublime melodies, and shot through with a rare emotional honesty.

Devo

Something For Everybody

Something for Everybody features the band’s classic line-up of Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald and Bob Casale joined by drummer Josh Freese.

Though the songs recorded for Something for Everybody are built on Devo’s signature mechanized swing, the recording and resentation of the album saw the band experimenting with an entirely new approach.

A series of studies were conducted through their website to help the band with its creative decisions, from color selection to song mixes.

Andrew Liles

In celebration of David Tibet’s 50th birthday and released at the 25th Anniversary Current 93 shows in London, May 2010.

Andrew Liles has recorded his own version of the classic C93 ep, ‘Where the Longshadows Fall’.
