ST. VINCENT 4AD SESSION

Filled under: 4ad, Rhythmethod, St. Vincent, video | Monday, October 31st, 2011 |


Earlier this year, St Vincent took a giant leap forward with the release of third album,Strange Mercy. This time out Annie Clark was to combine her long-celebrated musical virtuosity with ambitious songwriting that ran a gamut of emotional cadences, all the while underpinned by a colourful sense of melody.
Recording these songs live for the first time, St Vincent has performed four tracks from Strange Mercy for the tenth visual installment in the 4AD Session series. Shot at Shangri-La Studios in the heart of the Brooklyn film and photography district in Greenpoint, the session was recorded with Annie’s new band, Daniel Mintseris (keys), Toko Yasuda (moog) and Matthew Johnson (drums).

You can check out the entire session below.

Tracklisting:
Chloe In The Afternoon
Surgeon
Strange Mercy
Year Of The Tiger

ATLAS SOUND TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘PARALLAX’

Filled under: 4ad, Atlas Sound, News, Rhythmethod | Monday, October 17th, 2011 |


Atlas Sound, the ever expansive solo project from Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, will release his new solo album Parallax on 7 November 2011 via 4AD / Rhythmethod.

Atlas Sound is not a ‘side-project’ but rather a fully fleshed musical landscape, chock-full of pop chronicles culled from sci-fi fever dreams and mid-century rock. Citing the “ideas that I can’t make work with a five piece rock band” as the basis of his solo material, Cox’s work as Atlas Sound represents a feral and prolific musical voice.

With its scorched beauty, stream of consciousness, and wonderfully cohesive pop narrative, Atlas Sound is another outlet for Cox’s relentless creativity, distinctly remaining the product of just one man’s vision. The twelve tracks on Parallax display a clearer refining of Cox’s muse, further marking him out as a definitively singular voice.

All songs on on Parallax were written and performed by Cox, except on ‘Mona Lisa’, where Andrew VanWyngarden (MGMT) plays piano, ‘The Shakes’ where Carrie-Anne Murphy plays saxophone, and ‘Praying Man’ where Paul McPherson adds drums. Cox recorded all but two tracks for Parallax in June 2011 at New York’s Rare Book Room, where his band Deerhunter recorded their 2009 album Microcastle.

Parallax is perhaps Cox’s best work to date, juxtaposing his modern and sometimes avant song-writing sensibilities against a backdrop of ambient loneliness and a quiet feeling of desperation.

Listen to ATLAS SOUND:
‘Terra Incognita’ [mp3 download]
‘Te Amo’ [mp3 download]
‘Modern Aquatic Nightsongs’ [stream]
‘Amplifiers’ [stream]
All tracks taken from the forthcoming album Parallax!
Atlas Sound - Parallax is set for release on 7 November 2011 via 4AD / Rhythmethod.
