Plaadiarvustus: Faun Racket – Enter Projector (Vitamiin Loft Records, 2013)

Kui eelmisel sügisel Kultuurikatlas toimunud Stalker Festivali kavast lugesin, et esmakordselt astuvad koos lavale Talis Paide ja Andres Lõo, olin kohe intrigeeritud. Ühest küljest oli see nii üllatav, sest mehi isiklikult lähedalt tundmata ei osanud ma sellist koostööd oodatagi. Teisalt pidin taaskord nentima, et kui on üliandekaid inimesi, siis tavaliselt leiavad nad ka tee teineteise juurde.

Review: Deerhunter – Monomania (4AD, 2013)

It appears that whatever Brian Cox, the frontman of Deerhunter, decides to pursue, it will be touched by a strange genius. Be it the premiere of the title song from Monomania on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon where he used fake blood and bandages to created the illusion of a missing finger – a nod to his father who actually had recently lost a few fingers in a saw-related accident – or him performing concerts in girly frocks.

Review: Milo – things that happen at day / things that happen at night (Hellfyre Club, 2013)

The first time I heard Milo, I felt the same kind of elation that I felt for the debut album by The Streets – the freshness of the new and unknown, plus that special something that makes you want to listen to it again after the initial excitement wanes. However, unlike Mike Skinner, Milo's follow up to his debut (I Wish My Brother Rob Was Here), is still interesting and engaging.
