Gary Louris (US) Från the Jayhawks 2008-04-25 14:57 CEST Gary Louris (US) från The Jayhawks 10 juni - Malmö, KB 11 juni - Göteborg, Pusterviksbaren/Woody West Gary Louris tillhör alt.countryns största hörnstenar, som fenomenal sångare, låtskrivare och gitarrist i alt.countryslagskeppet The Jayhawks och supergruppen Golden Smog (med medlemmar från Wilco, Soul Asylum, Run Westy Run, Big Star & The Jayhawks). Med bandet The Jayhawks låg Gary Louris bakom de klassiska 90-tals albumen "Hollywood Town Hall" och "Tomorrow The Green Grass" som tillsammans med Uncle Tupelo och sedemera Son Volt och Wilco lade grunden för det som kom att kallas alt.country (vad det nu betyder). Musiken byggde på traditionella rockgrunder skapade av Byrds, Bob Dylan, Stones, Neil Young och salige Gram Parsons men var samtidigt själsfränder till band som Replacements och R.E.M fast med mer tydliga rötter i country-rocken. De revolutionerade 90-talet och lade grunden för senare tids alternativa indierockscountrysuccéer som Ryan Adams, My Morning Jacket, Bright Eyes & Band Of Horses. Efter att andre frontfiguren, Mark Olson, hoppat av The Jayhawks så ledde Louris bandet vidare genom fler brilljanta plattor, där hans sinne för lättflytande popmelodier fick stå i centrum. Gary Louris har nu precis släppt sin första platta "Vagabond" i eget namn och till sin hjälp har han en annan gammal hjälte, Black Crowes sångaren Chris Robinson och Thom Monahan (Beachwood Sparks, Pernice Brothers, Devandra Banhart, Vetiver mm) och runt sig hade de samlat ihop en grupp av sköna, unga californiamusiker som Jonathan Wilson, Vetivers Otto Hauser, pedal steel-killen Josh Grange (Dwight Yoakam, Vicoria Williams) och keyboardist Adam MacDougal. Skivan har en härligt avslappnad känsla av en 70-talets singer/songwriter pop från ett solblekt Kalifornien samtidigt som detta är mr Louris mest personliga sånger hittills. Alltihop förstärks emellanåt av superkören the Laurel Canyon Family Choir vilken innehåller bla indiedrottningen Jenny Lewis, Susanna Hoffs (Bangles), Andy Cabic (Vetiver), Farmer Dave (Beachwood Sparks), Chris Robinson (Black Crowes) och the Chapin Sisters.

  • Wilco-Songs Minimalistisch
    Folkdays … Wilco-Songs minimalistisch Musik | Jeff Tweedy: Together At Last Jeff Tweedy, das ist einerseits ein Singer-Songwriter, andererseits ist er der Macher von Wilco in Zusammenarbeit mit John Stirratt, Glenn Kotche, Mikael Jorgensen, Nels Cline und Pat Sansone. Er war auch einmal mit dem Band-Projekt Golden Smog zu hören und es gibt neue Bands von ihm genannt Loose Fur und Tweedy. Das zuerst kurz als Fakten. Von TINA KAROLINA STAUNER Das neue Album von Jeff Tweedy ›Together At Last‹ ist wie ein Überbleibsel aus einer Zeit, in der die Freude Americana, Alternative Country und Neofolk zu hören manchmal fast ungetrübt war. Kein Mainstream laberte irgendeinen Klimbim dazwischen und neben Befindlichkeits- und Beziehungstexten war Sozial- und Gesellschaftskritik in Lyrics ein Zeichen für Anspruch und Niveau. Die Chicagoer Independent-Band Wilco hatte sich mit den ersten Alben in den 1990er Jahren mit Leib und Seele in den Spirit einer ganzen Independent-Generation gespielt. Entstanden aus Uncle Tupelo war Wilco immer wichtig im Diskurs. Bezogen auf traditionelles Wissen über Country und Folk hatte die Band einen ureigenen Sound und integrierte manchmal auch neue und elektronische Klänge in den Kontext. Mittlerweile scheint Jeff Tweedy teils zynisch bis zum geht-nicht-mehr und nach ›Star Wars‹ und ›Schmilco‹ mit Cover-Artwork wie ein Cartoon kam ein ›Together At Last‹. Vergangenheit ist das Woody Guthrie Project, das er mit Nora Guthrie und Billy Bragg vor Jahren veröffentlichte. Vergangenheit sind die frühen Independent-Jahre, wenn es überhaupt noch Leute gibt, die sich daran erinnern. Vergangenheit ist die Band-Dokumentation ›Man in the Sand‹. Vergangenheit sind Songs wie ›In A Future Age‹.

  • SOUL ASYLUM Biography by Arthur Levy
    SOUL ASYLUM biography by Arthur Levy “It’s a crazy mixed up world out there, Someone’s always got a gun and it’s all about money You live with loneliness, or you live with somebody who’s crazy It’s just a crazy mixed up world …” (“Crazy Mixed Up World”) Chapter 1. Every Cloud Has One Renewed and revitalized, Soul Asylum founders Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy return to rock’s front line with THE SILVER LINING, their first new studio release since 1998’s Candy From a Stranger. That album inadvertently kicked off a seven-year sabbatical for the group, which telescoped into the death of bassist Karl Mueller in June 2005, the other founding member of the triumvirate that has steered Soul Asylum through rock’s white water for the past two decades plus. The re-emergence of the group on THE SILVER LINING is as much a reaffirmation of Soul Asylum’s commitment to the music as it is a dedication to Karl, who worked and played on the album right up until the end. They were joined in the studio by not-so-new heavyweight Minneapolis drummer Michael Bland (who has played with everyone from Paul Westerberg to Prince). The band is now complemented by Tommy Stinson on bass, a member of fellow Twin Cities band the Replacements since age 13, and a pal of Dan’s since he was in high school and Tommy in junior high. Tommy was the only friend that Karl could endorse to replace himself in the band. This hard-driving lineup was introduced for the first time in October 2005, when they played sold-out showcase dates at First Avenue in Minneapolis and the Bowery Ballroom in New York – within three days.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
