Electric Dirt by Levon Helm : CD released on 6/30/09

Electric Dirt (Dirt Farmer Music / Vanguard Records) is the second album in the last two years of the American musical treasure Levon Helm. His predecessor, the Grammy-winning Dirt Farmer, his first solo LP in the fourth century, followed Levon near miraculous recovery from throat cancer, and as such represented a new lease for the life of the legendary artist, who rose to attention as the drummer and singer for Levon and the Hawks, which later became the band. Electric Dirt again finds Levon vol tradition in connection with the country and the people, but this record is deeper and wider, with gospel, blues and soul elements into a girder set of originals and carefully selected outside songs. As with Dirt Farmer, multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell took the reigns as producer and the album was recorded in "The Barn" - Levon Helm Studios. "Our goal was to show the honesty, innocence and purity of the record Dirt Farmer which represents a genuine element of what Levon is all about, but also expand on that deeper and explore the gold mine of Levon's musical artistry" says Camp

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear : CD released on May 26, 09

Grizzly Bear Yellow House released in 2006. It was a slow, steady and beautiful trip, and given the album is not earthy charm and stamina, it's hard to believe three years. That may seem like a long time.

But seen Grizzly Bear s hectic touring, including stints with Radiohead, TV On The Radio and Feist as well as various performances during a five-night tribute to Paul Simon at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a co-headlining show with the LA Philharmonic, and the release of the friend, a 10-number of the EP re-recorded and re-worked songs, collaborations and covers all of this seems reasonable.

They have been busy. But about a year ago, singer / songwriter Ed Droste, drummer Christopher Bear, woodwind player / bassist Chris Taylor and singer / songwriter / guitarist Daniel Rossen s other band, Department of Eagles, released the sublime In Ear Park last autumn began passing around demo and work together creatively in different combinations and permutations. A few months later settled with producer / engineer Chris Taylor s mobile recording rig to begin the recording process Veckatimest, which would unfold in the next six months in three very special locations.

And in many ways, the recording process this record shows that any space catalyze different interactions, inspirations, and finally, songs. In July the band spent three weeks at the Glen Tonche home in upstate New York. While still finding their feet, much of the album is the basis was laid there. After the short break for the Radiohead tour in August, the band convened at a house on Cape Cod, friendly by Droste s grandmother, where she again addressed and solidified the compositions they d started on Glen Tonche. Finally, Grizzly Bear came home to a church in NYC, to refine and Veckatimest album named after a small, uninhabited island on Cape Cod that the band visited and was inspired by, wish her Native American name. Artist William O'Brien made Veckatimest s colorful, hand-made work of art a perfect complement to the album title is enigmatic. There is an incredible brightness of the picture and sound Veckatimest: vocals (a duty shared by all band members) are sharper and more complex arrangements are tighter, the production is more enterprising and lyrics more influence.

After the opening of the creative dialogue at such an early stage, Grizzly Bear was able to these 12 songs together as a band, their best composition requirements together album to date. This yielded an unexpected mix of materials that feel more confident, mature, focused and most of all, dynamic. From songs like "Dory" (a psychedelic graceful, ever-changing work), 'Ready Able' (a synth-y opus, and one of the four songs that boasts string arrangements by composer Nico Muhly) and 'Foreground' (a plain, vocal-driven farewell, and one of the two tracks to feature choral works by Muhly schemes) to more pop-sounding songs such as' two weeks (another worldly doo Wop with backing vocals by Beach House is Victoria Legrand) and "While You Wait for the others "(a triumphant cacophonous and melodic pop masterpiece) Veckatimest is an album of the highest highs and lowest lows an incredibly diverse collection of songs that celebrates the strength of each band, and the strength of the whole. It was certainly worth the wait.
