Just another day...
After taking last week off I’m back to my usual weekly duty of a “New Music Tuesday” post, and tomorrow a return of my weekly Top 5 (now with 15% less lazy!).
This week we have the 2 CD solo debut of Matthew Friedberger, Winter Women / Holy Ghost Language School. Most people don’t “debut” with double albums (unless of course you have an ego the size of Cody Chestnutt’s but Friedberger is not most people. He is arguably the more important half of The Fiery Furnaces who are inarguably the most consistently interesting act in modern music.
If you’re a feminist, possibly a militant lesbian, and you like Dave Mathews Band music but find it well… just a tad too masculine… well your in luck, cause Ani DiFranco is here to give you Reprieve (oh word play how I love thee).
Comets On Fire bring us Avatar.
I’m not going to say anything about this album… I’m just going to give you the quip from Amazon… few things have ever sounded less inviting.
The follow-up to "Blue Cathedral" is an earthy, more accessible, and downright beautiful album. "Avatar" veers from swinging, bluesy explorations to piano-laced, progressive power balladry to pure tribalism, evoking everyone from the Allmans to Quicksilver to Procol Harem to some insane Fela/Sun Ra/Crazy Horse hybrid, yet remains wholly Comets On Fire. Though they play cleaner and clearer, their firepower is evident and abundant.
Slayer’s original line up returns for the first time since Seasons in the Abyss to make an album of militant antireligious anthems entitled Christ Illusion
On the rap front Masta Killah and MOP drop new “joints” today, entitled Made in Brooklyn and Ghetto Warfare respectively. Ghetto Warfare is an album of b-sides and unreleased tracks and therefore is certainly “fans only” material.
