Jack Peñate’s US Debut
Jack Peñate is already an NME darling, and we’ve got a strong feeling he’s going to be a big star in the States as well. Sentimentalist Magazine caught him playing a day party at Fontana’s in Nolita during CMJ and he put an instant smile on our faces. He’s got all the charisma of [...]
Goldfrapp Plants Her ‘Seventh Tree’ in February
Just when our poor, tired dancing feet had recovered from CMJ (and Dan Deacon, natch!), Alison Goldfrapp and her beat-making glittery self has announced the release of Seventh Tree, due February 26, 2008 on Mute. Written and produced by Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, Seventh Tree is the follow-up to 2005’s brilliant Supernature, and is said [...]
New Black Dice Album, Video and Tour Dates
Resident Brooklyn noise-makers and visual artists Black Dice (Eric Copeland, Aaron Warren and Bjorn Copeland) have returned with a new album, Load Blown, (released October 23 on Paw Tracks) and a crackling first single, “Kokomo,” (go here for its video). A string of North American tour dates is scheduled through the entirety of November, starting November 2 in [...]
Matt Costa’s Next Step: Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive
Skate or die dude! A piece of Matt Costa literally had to perish in order for the folk popster we all know today to take shape. He was a few steps away from going pro until he shattered his leg and retreated to his Huntington Beach bedroom with a 4-track and an acoustic guitar.
The Redwalls - “The Redwalls”: Sentimentalist Magazine Review
The Redwalls have always been a complete package in look and sound. They are a picture perfect retro rock band: with crisp melodies, catchy choruses, almost too good to be true voices and harmonies, and not to forget, they’re young and stylish in their mod thrift store clothes. And now, instead of sounding [...]
Dave Gahan, Apple Soho Store Performance, NYC 10.23.07 : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
“Even the honey is tied up,” Dave Gahan said halfway through his remarkable show at New York’s Apple store in Soho last night to celebrate the release of his fantastic second solo record, Hourglass. Though likely an off the cuff and innocuous remark, those of us who delight in double entendres, or rather, take too [...]
Babyshambles - “Shotter’s Nation” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
There are scores of fine, 19th-c. paintings by a certain Thomas Shotter Boys depicting London at its most picturesque, and wouldn’t that be a sweet tie-in if this album title was referencing those. Yes, Pete Doherty does have a soft spot for British history, but in this case, “shotter” is slang for a drug [...]
Castanets - “In The Vines” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Born from sadness and defeat, In the Vines channels the painful sincerity of old country with the scraggly vocals of a lifelong pipe-smoker, and the soulfully simple guitar picking of the old South. It’s a dusty antique that longs to be played on a Victrola or from a porch in the warm, sticky evening. [...]
Dave Gahan – “Hourglass” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
Following up his well-received 2003 solo debut Paper Monsters, Dave Gahan’s dirty, sexy, electronica-laden Hourglass couldn’t be a more perfect title for an album that has all the yearning, burning, menace and baritone that fans expect from the Depeche Mode frontman, but this time, the lanky, dancing, tattoo’d superstar is opening up wider than [...]
The Warlocks - “Heavy Deavy Skull Lover” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review
It doesn’t get much darker than this. Continuing on with their quest for a personal vision of druggy, droned-out psych rock, The Warlocks are back as a quartet. They may be half the band they once were (in number), but their sound has become more of a forceful, epic death dance than ever. They’ve [...]
