Delaney
Saturday, December 3, 2005, 09:08 PM
Delaney is 33 year old Parisienne Christelle Delaney. She sings with a beautifully detached voice, accompanied by her acoustic guitar or a backing rock band. She sings mainly in French but several of her songs are in English. We are releasing her first and only album here in the US, and she is currently recording a new album.
Her French label Lithium has this to say:
"Her first songs and first recordings are all on the album. So there is absolutely no reason not to approach these twelve songs just as she wrote them: somewhere out there in nowhere land... Whether Delaney doesn't want to or can't decide if it is better to smile all the time or cry all the time, or whether she has reached the point of having to get by with her indecisiveness and changes of direction, this disconcerting, abrupt and dishevelled first album certainly isn't going to give away the answers."

Well, I got a nice email today from Johnny of the band Soft thanking me for the post. It was a nice gesture and it got me thinking: Why not ask people for submissions? I have plenty of free stuff to go around, but I know there are some people out there in bands or affiliated in some way with a band that might want to send something my way and get a bit more coverage. The site isn't what I would call "The definitive free music resource" but we've come a long way. We're up to 40,000 hits and over 4,000 downloads since the blog was retooled in the fall. Not too shabby.
Ok, here are the rules:
1. The music has to be either authorized by the band for release or Creative Commons licensed.
2. Must be the entire piece. No clips please.
3. It can't suck.
4. No complaining if you don't get on.
That's it.
Feel free to send anything my way.

"Reminiscent enough to be familiar, yet fresh enough to be exciting, SOFT is the sound of five guys making one big sound: spacey, shimmering, beautiful rock music. Formed just over a year ago, the genesis of the band was an organic one with mutual friends from areas as divergent as Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut coming together to do what seemed most natural to them: make music. The lack of a stated musical blueprint produced not the expected chaos but a surprising cohesion, and the song writing began. Months of perfectionist tweaking and fine-tuning culminated with a trip to a haunted ranch in upstate New York, which in turn yielded the five songs that eventually landed on the band's debut EP. Sold out shows followed as did support slots for the likes of Mark Gardner and Hard Fi."
I keep seeing the name of this band and I think back to that old Elastica song S.O.F.T. Ess Oh Eff Tee! Good times those were.

I know. Another video post. I get a lot of these seemingly random videos from all sort of places and I try to not post them here, but sometimes I can't help it. At least they all have music?
No worries though, this is truly a masterpiece. Thanks to Carson Williams from Mason Ohio who used 88 Light-O-Rama channels to control his 16,000 christmas lights to create a psychedelic light show suitable for all ages. Unless you are prone to seizures.

Love and Distance is bright, free, and organic—a collection of refreshingly melodious songs that stand in stark contrast to the “univibe” that Summers asserts their past compositions often possessed. Summers and Weikel had been used to setting up a makeshift studio at the music store they started working at in tenth grade—one room was for tracking, one for mixing. When both parties quit their jobs to tour extensively in 2002, the recording, mixing and production operation moved to Weikel’s parents’ bonus room and basement, various rooms in Summers’ apartment, and Issac Brock’s garage. “So many of the takes weren’t meant to stick,” Brandon chuckles. In the familiar, comfortable setting of family and friends’ homes, however, something happened—Helio Sequence gained an elevated level of ease that allowed them to throw caution to the wind, expanding on the complex, deep sounds they’d so masterfully crafted years earlier.Their latest album’s strength lies not only in the soft tension created by its disparate elements—the traditional folksy twang of harmonica on “Harmonica Song”, the fresh, tropical infusions of electronica on “Looks Good (But You Looked Away)”, the passionate, precise collision of electric and organic percussion throughout—but in its natural flow. Each progression, each track, is part of a gorgeous, hooky whole. Armed with a surprising new instrumentation palette and buoyed by swift pop undercurrents, Helio Sequence finally felt able to construct their voluminous grooves using laissez-faire techniques that weren’t previously a part of their creative process. The result is a band more confident, inspired and inventive than ever before.
