The Red Sea (CD), The Shondes

At times, the Shondes conjure comparisons to post-punk’s volatile spark on songs like “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and “Let’s Go,” and yet they seem most inspired when the orchestra kicks in on “Your Monster” and “The Start Of Everything” as walls of shiver-inducing, epic violins crescendo. Louisa Rachel Solomon’s vocals are strong, nimble and graceful on the band’s self-released debut, which sees both complex song structures intertwined with direct, inquisitive lyrics. The result is an album rich in saw-tooth guitars, pummeling rhythms and an undeniably anthemic spirit. It’s haunting and it’s eerie, yet it’s rousing. The Shondes are a twisted carnival film noir come true. -CMJ

We Are Wolves, Total Magique NEW album.

We got the new album by We Are Wolves, Total Magique, DAMMMM its good. You all need to get it.

Album Review:
On their sophomore album, We Are Wolves use mystical powers to bring their sound to a new level of auditive threat. Total Magique unleashes the raw sounds of the trio in a mesmerizing whirlwind of electro psychedelic kraut punk. Started as an “art project” in 2000, We Are Wolves left their mother’s den of Montreal, Canada in support of such acts as The Gossip, DFA1979, And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, and the (International) Noise Conspiracy. The trio, featuring Alexander Ortiz on vocals/bass/guitar, Vincent Levesque on synths/drum machine/vocals, Antonin Marquis on drums/percussion/vocals, creates music that stands out from the masses and expands the threshold of what a musical act can be. Can you feel the MAGIQUE?

Its $9.99 on iTunes. Do a search on your iTunes Store if not you can go to Insound $10.49 or Amazon, $14.99.
