The Miserable Rich - New Video for "Oliver"

One of my favourite tunes from The Miserable Rich, "Oliver" becomes even better through an extremely moving and thought provoking video directed by Marc Biedel, who edited Youtube footage from last year's riots to the song Ringing the Changes

This brilliant track is taken from 2nd album by The Miserable Rich "Of Flight and Fury"

Gaz Coombes - Solo Material

Now here's an interesting solo project from the ex Supergrass frontman.  Definite change in direction utilising beats and electronica, without losing his more usual melodic approach and brand new track "Sub-Divider" is available as a free download through his Facebook page. Just sign up and away you go.

Freedumb - The Freedumb Curse

An album released back at the beginning of 2010, which I've just come across.

Oslo trio, Freedumb, were together seven long years before releasing their debut album, “The Freedumb Curse,” although the only curse which appears to have hindered their musical output relates to a penchant for beer rather than knuckling down and producing a record. Once the slacker attitude rescinded, Torstein Eriksen and cohorts music proves far more urgent and energetic than their early outlook may suggest.  

The majority of the fourteen tracks, full on, in your face thrash with added punk attitude and arrogance.  Lyrically songs move between English and their native Norwegian without creating any loss of significance. 

Similar to fellow countrymen Kvelertak, for English speakers the quality of the music speaks far louder than unintelligible words.  “Mareritt” affords the only slight respite with an overall slower tempo, leaning more towards Doom references, handled again with some aplomb.

“The Freedom Curse” is a rock solid, infectious debut and I can only implore Freedumb not to take seven years over the next record.  With appetite whetted, I’m already looking for more.    

  

TOP HEAVY ROBOTS HEADING FOR THE BALEARICS?

Those galactic messengers Top Heavy Robots return after obviously frequenting warmer climes.  February finds the Cosmic rapscallions emerging from the black hole of Winter, producing an interstellar dance track packed full of pulsing beats. 

Where will they appear next? Based on this banging tune, The White Isle of Ibiza beckons.
