Keith Kenniff in versione Goldmund, col nuovo “Famous Place” in uscita per Western Vinyl. Bozzetti cinematografici per un minimalismo classicheggiante. Nel suo sottile calore “Dane Street” ne è spiegazione esaustiva.

D-Sisive is a one man music machine cruising to the hum of his own engine. After last year’s triumphant return to the hip-hop limelight with both his Polaris Prize nominated gem “Let The Children Di”e, and his second classic full length of 2009, the acclaimed Jonestown, one would think the accomplished Toronto MC would be content to rest on his ever-expanding laurels. Not D-Sisive. The enigmatic one is back – and this time taking things to an entirely new level with the epic “Vaudeville”.
Produced in tandem with Andrew ‘Fresh Kils’ Kilgour and featuring a surprise cameo from legendary Canadian songsmith, Ron Sexsmith, “Vaudeville” is filled with incredible hip hop tracks, and slight of hand tricks. Smoke and mirror gags mixed with punch lines, and intense stories. An album that showcases the wide variety of influences and themes which only an enigmatic master of ceremonies like D-Sisive could pull off.

Dopo essersi fatti notare l’anno scorso con un ottimo EP di debutto omonimo, disponibile gratuitamente su Bandcamp, i Futurebirds (band proveniente da Athens, GA) debuttano sulla lunga distanza con l’album “Hampton’s Lullaby”, pubblicato da Autumn Tone Records, l’etichetta messa in piedi da Justin Gage – il fondatore del blog An Aquarium Drunkard – lo scorso 27 luglio.
Tutti gli appassionati di country-folk con accenni di psichedelia troveranno pane per i propri denti, grazie ad undici brani che rimandano ai migliori lavori di My Morning Jacket e Drive-By Truckers. Un autentico gioiello.
