Tuesday 11.13.07: BLACK DICE @ Echoplex

Black Dice

Black Dice || Listen

Load Blown is the fourth album by Brooklyn’s Black Dice. The beats drip and roll, tar-pit voices sing into an oil can, and the guitars crank like calliope. Some tunes crackle and burble like submerged television, others bump and click along like a Summer Jam concert series from another dimension. While a noticeable change in tone encompasses Load Blown (some tunes veer close to pop songs), this is a work of over-stimulation, a product of frenzied media culture, a sonic sifting of the gratuitous amount of “stuff” out there. – Insound

Tuesday 11.13.07: EMMA POLLOCK (from The Delgados)

Emma Pollock || Listen

Pollock is a huge fan of Dusty Springfield and Sixties pop. You can hear her love of the production of the time: strings, elaborate arrangements and the importance of melody all shine in Watch the Fireworks. She oozes enthusiasm for “If Silence Means That Much to You”, a tune that encapsulates all that she loves in a song. “It just sounded to me like it could be from a Sixties film soundtrack and the melody just sounded like it could comfortably appear on the Dr Zhivago soundtrack.” She talks excitedly about how they dug a Sixties hammer dulcimer out from their cupboards for the chorus. While the songs retain similarities to The Delgados (their eclecticism and the changing tempos) it is this eccentricity that keeps the music fresh. – The Independent
