Kasey Chambers - Wayward Angel (Mcup)

Kasey Chambers — 2013-05-12T16:12:10-05:00

On her third album, Chambers has weathered a storm of publicity and expectation by clinging to her deeply southern--as in Australian--roots. She stands by her Dead Ringer Band kin (brother Nash Chambers produces and father Bill Chambers plays lead guitar), and her delicate songs continue to celebrate the innocence and wonder of loving and being loved. The slight adult-contemporary sheen never outshines the blues and bluegrass flourishes--indeed, "Follow You Home" rips like a Del McCoury breakdown--as she explores all the poetic potential of the conditional voice. "If I were lost would you shout my name out loud?" and "If you were a river run dry, well I'd sing you sweet by and by" are more than coy conceits. They're unforced glimpses of grace, earned by remaining faithful to who she is. Even in a holding pattern, the sweet strength of Chambers's voice and songs find room to soar. --Roy Kasten

Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth

Dead Can Dance — 2013-05-05T14:44:19-05:00

This 1993 release saw Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard embark on individual paths. While this record of all new material was considered a commercial breakthrough (it was 4AD's best-seller at a million copies worldwide and counting), it was also their most divided. They both wrote songs independent of one another, on separate continents.

Augie March - Strange Bird

Augie March — 2013-05-01T22:07:26-05:00

Augie March is a band whose very name was poached from perhaps THE great American novel, to give the people of America an inkling of the underside of Australia. In 2002, the band had set up camp in a disused telephone company building in outer Melbourne to write the album that would become Strange Bird. It covers a lot of sonic terrain, veering from the sweet, building harmony of The Vineyard, through the Wild West gallop of This Train, the heavy Song in the Key of Chance and muted melancholy of O Mi Sol Mi Lon to the plaintive balladry of The Night is A Blackbird, and that?s all in the first twenty minutes. It was released in Australia in October 2002 and did great things. A few insightful American music journalists from Rolling Stone to The Big Takeover to the All Music Guide have caught wind of the release and have already signed on as their champions.The rest of the world is about to catch up. The US release of Strange Bird contains the award winning videos for "The Vineyard" and "Little Wonder."

The Veronicas - Hook Me Up

The Veronicas — 2013-04-08T09:17:16-05:00

Special updated UK edition of the Australian duo's hit 2008 album includes two bonus tracks: 'Change The World' and '4ever'. A dramatic new sound marks The Veronicas musical coming of age on Hook Me Up. Their Pop Punk leanings have given way to a more sophisticated Electro-beat feel, though still marked by the sisters' signature harmonies and vocals, and innate pop sensibility. Upbeat and beat-driven, this new improved version of Hook Me Up is set to hook up America with The Veronicas all over again.
