CIMS RECOMMENDS: BEACH HOUSE

BUY THE CD HERE
BUY THE VINYL HERE

Beach House has ranked high on the list of top-ten most anticipated indie albums of 2012. After teasing their fanbase with a dreamy single, “Myth,” Bloom arrives. Melodic and trancey, Bloom expounds upon the duo’s successful 2010 release of Teen Dream. Singer Victoria Lagrand’s distinctive voice is a reverb-soaked, alto version of the ethereal Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser. Yet rather than bombarding us with phonetic nonsense, Lagrand pens more direct poetry to anchor the drifty and wayward music. “If you build yourself a myth / Know just what to give,” the opening lines to the first track’s chorus, may not be intended to describe this band’s journey, but the duo is certainly a testament to the idea that creating mystique around your art draws people in. Beach House’s popularity has climbed steadily and quickly over the course of their four releases. Though their sound evolves less quickly than this, fans are loyal to the duo’s dream-weaving textures, comprised largely of guitars run through delay pedals and their vast collection of quirky keyboard instruments scored at thrift stores. Be sure to listen to “Lazuli,” “Troublemaker,” and “On the Sea.” Bloom arrives just in time for your windows-down drive to the beach.

RECOMMENDED: RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

Rufus Wainwright is a hardworking musician who has earned undying love from his fans in a short career of brilliant songwriting and performing. His latest effort finds him rising to a new kind of starry height with his characteristic panache for melody and clever lyrics, all once more adeptly delivered by able hands on a piano and his languid tenor. “I’ve got the outfit for the party, but you’ve taken away the invitation,” he carelessly croons in the track “Rashida,” which builds like a track off of Queen’s Sheer Heart Attack, while the follow up track, “Barbara” is a placid lounge track. As usual, the most compelling tracks on Wainwright’s new album are the more intimate snapshots of his personal life.  In “Barbara” he describes the loneliness of a moment drinking rose in the rain, while in the sultry country sway of “Respectable Dive” he calls to a lover for a moment of indiscretion. Out of the Game is perhaps a bit of a statement piece for the artist, enlisting the talents of guitarist Nels Cline, Sean Lennon, and The Dap Kings, among others, but none of these guests outshine the songwriter here, but rather add tasteful textures to an already elegant ensemble.

THE VINYL WORD: PAUL MCCARTNEY'S 'RAM' STEREO AND MONO REISSUES!

BUY THE STEREO VERSION HERE
BUY THE LIMITED EDITION MONO VERSION HERE
ALSO AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE CD FORMATS HERE

Paul and Linda McCartney‘s 1971 album RAM is re-released across a variety of formats with new and exclusive content, including two vinyl versions!

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is an album from a long, long time ago, when the world was different. This is an album that is part of my history — it goes back to the wee hills of Scotland where it was formed. It’s an album called RAM. It reminds me of my hippie days and the free attitude with which was created. I hope you’re going to like it, because I do!” Paul McCartney, 2012

RAM is the latest album from Paul’s iconic back catalog to get the deluxe Paul McCartney Archive Collection treatment. As with the previous releases in the series, Paul has personally overseen every aspect of the project and the result is spectacular.

RAM, originally released in May of 1971, is the only album to be credited to both Paul and Linda McCartney and was Paul’s second post-Beatles LP. It was overshadowed at the time by the drama of the dissolution of The Beatles, as played out in the world’s media. The album topped the charts, hitting #1 in the UK and #2 in the US. While RAM polarized critics upon its release, music fans and critics alike since have overwhelmingly embraced it, with Rolling Stone, for example, revising their original review up to 4 stars. Recently RAM has enjoyed even further re-appraisal and acknowledgement, including a number of tribute albums.

RAM was written by Paul and Linda, mostly at their Scottish farm on the Mull of Kintyre. In the autumn of 1970, they flew to New York to start the recording process. Without a band in place, they auditioned and drafted musicians, who included future Wings drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarists David Spinozza and Hugh McCracken.

RAM was also issued in mono with alternate mixes, which were only made available to radio stations at the time. This version has gone on to become one of the most sought after McCartney collectables. It will now be commercially available for the first time ever on CD as part of the Deluxe Edition as well as a limited run on vinyl.
