No No No

Beirut

Alternative & Indie - Released September 11, 2015 | 4AD

Hi-Res
After four years of silence, Zach Condon puts the wheels in motion once again for his Beirut project. This time, the multi-instrumentalist delivers another slice of immaculate, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink pop in the form of his new record: No No No. On this, Beirut’s fourth album, the American continues to transform his knowledge of Hispanic folklore into his own, highly distinctive, high-flying pop. Condon pushes the template forward in a few areas, though, putting some of Beirut’s winsome folksiness on hold in favour of ramshackle, raucous mischief. Renewal is, indeed, a major concern of the record, and on No No No Condon manages to renew himself, and his music, while still maintaining the magical singularity of his musical universe. Brass and percussion are still (happily) dominant. A cheap joke, but one that is too hard to resist: we say ‘Yes Yes Yes’ to No No No! © MD/Qobuz

Pollen

Tennis

Alternative & Indie - Released February 10, 2023 | Mutually Detrimental

Hi-Res
Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley met at the University of Colorado's Philosophy Department in 2008. They eventually married and formed the band Tennis, now a staple of American indie music. For their sixth album, they’ve put their own spin on scientist Edward Lorenz's famous proposition: ‘Could a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?’ With these ten songs, the duo seek to describe small things with big consequences, transforming the butterfly effect into the ‘pollen effect’. For example, in the track ‘Gibraltar’, they contrast the minuteness of the titular region (Gibraltar is a territory of just 7 km2) with the magnitude of the singer's fragility, who’s ’faltering’ and ’can’t speak’. Such powerful imagery suggests that Tennis' lyrics are better described as poetry than song. The ambitious lyrics almost seem to contrast with the music, which is much lighter and breezier, though still excellently produced. Whether it's a tender retro ballad (‘Pillow for a Cloud’) or a danceable pop track (‘Paper, Let's Make a Mistake Tonight’), Tennis produces music that tantalises with its subtle optimism. In fact, it feels like the soundtrack to a summer beach trip, and Alaina Moore's crystal-clear vocals only contribute to this idyllic picture. Pollen is an album with a heavy message wrapped up in a light, breezy parcel. © Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz

Nocturama

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Rock - Released February 3, 2003 | Mute, a BMG Company

It is truly sad when artists with great vision and imagination, whose work is filled with power and beauty, just kind of lose it all at once. This could be the first record Nick Cave has made that feels like he is just doing it because it is his job to make records and be Nick Cave. Everything is predictable and sounds like something Cave has done before. The Bad Seeds' edges are smoothed over by the too-slick production; Cave's lyrics are not provocative or funny or much of anything worth hearing. "He Wants You" is a smooth and tired-sounding love song, "Still in Love" is a gothic love song with cheesy lyrics and some sickly singing, and "Wonderful Life" has a nice, slinky beat and a memorable melody that is ruined by generic lyrics. There are also a few surprises of an unpleasant nature on Nocturama: "Bring It On" sounds like alternative rock by-the-numbers; without Cave's vocals it could be the Wallflowers. This could be the first Bad Seeds track to sport a depressingly standard guitar solo over the fade. Longtime Cave fans may need to reach for the smelling salts after hearing it. There are also a couple of songs that revisit the old storm-and-bang days of the Birthday Party and early Bad Seeds. One might say these forays into noisy, aggressive post-punk are commendable or one could say he is treading water he puked out 20 years ago. Add to that the fact that the racing tempos, jagged guitars, and shouted vocals of "Dead Man in My Bed" and the seemingly endless "Babe, I'm on Fire" break up the somnambulant mood of the rest of the record. Actually, while it may be derivative of his glorious past, "Babe, I'm on Fire" is a welcome blast of energy; he should have made it 30 minutes long instead of ten and called it his new record. Apart from that track, Cave sounds like a writer on his 15th book with nothing much left to say, nothing left to do but go through the motions, phoning his performance in with a yawn. His fans should send him a message by leaving Nocturama (his worst record title ever) to gather dust on record store and warehouse shelves. His laziness and weak effort should not be rewarded with your hard-earned cash.© Tim Sendra /TiVo
