Instead of being straitjacketed by one movement, the best producers are hand-picking their favorite elements from all over the place and bringing them together to produce highly unique, highly creative music that cannot be replicated by anyone, even the original producers.
Electronic dance music these days is heading in all directions, running circles through genres, head-butting sounds and coming around and head-butting them again, so that the best music is becoming unclassifiable, somewhere in the middle of five or six genres. There are light, glitchy drums, heavy bass and vocals that both pump you up and evoke something deeper in the human condition. They!Live is a mood album, set on penetrating a specific part of your mind and staying put, like a strong emotion or memory. –Madelyn Boudreauxīenjamin Damage & Doc Daneeka = James Blake + Blawan + Jacques Greene While taking a step away from imagining a soundtrack to a James Bond film directed by David Lynch, Adamson turns out what may be his strongest album yet. Still other tracks rewrite adult contemporary for the indie crowd (“Turnaround” and “The Power of Suggestion”).
While his usual brand of Motown and jazz-albeit very dark Motown and jazz-is evident on tracks like “Black Holes in My Brain” and “Stand In,” the majority of the tracks here recall his punk-Americana work with Nick Cave (the standout tracks “The Sun and the Sea” and “Destination”) or the Bowie/Iggy-influenced styling of Magazine (“Get Your Mind Right”). It’s his indie-rockin’est release in years, and his first since 2008. Returning to his roots, in a manner of speaking, Bad Seed Barry Adamson (The Birthday Party, Depeche Mode, Visage) brings forth his tenth album. –Kia McGinnisīarry Adamson = (Nick Cave + Iggy Pop) x (Thomas Dolby + Brian Eno) Take a break from being jaded and try it out. The slow, sing-along style rhythm is definitely intended to put you in a good mood. Sunkissed is adequately named-tracks such as ‘’Let It Shine’’ and ‘’I Feel Like Dancing’’ would make any winter-ridden motherfucker long for a beer and some sunshine.
Bad Weather California is composed of former punk rockers and friends of the experimental-folk band Akron/Family who have taken a liking to beach rock, with a sound that is equal parts retro and modern.

I turned this on and let it play expectation free and found it to be a pleasant, easy listening experience- not easy listening as in elevator music, but the type of music you don’t have to over think at all. –Cody Hudsonīad Weather California= Meat Puppets + Beach Boys Though it is a bit upbeat for my tastes at times (Elephant Six bands tend to be a bit too bubblegum-pop for me), it is an album that any Elephant Six fan should pick up. Even with the simple song compositions filtered through feedback, Schneider does a great job drawing you in with engaging melodies. Thee American Revolution is a side project led by Robert Schneider (of Apples in Stereo), and he has taken his swirling Elephant Six pop sensibilities and distorted them until they are hardly recognizable.
With the recent resurgence in 90s-esque fuzz rock (led by bands like Japandroids and Jeff The Brotherhood), this reissue is coming at a perfect time. Thee American Revolution = Home Blitz + Apples In Stereo
