May 23, 2012Cock and Swan “Stash”
May 20, 2012For me it’s an honor to review this because someone else did their last album, and I played it a lot. I find it funny that iTunes calls this Electronica, though. Their sound hasn’t changed a bit. The first track, “Sneak Close,” provides more Softies-like experiences, even if a little less playful.
Slightly noisier is “Raging Chisel.” The vocals are mixed a little low, but otherwise this one is pretty good. Stereolab fans will like “Happy Thoughts” even if there’s no dominating synths to speak of. Maybe next time.
“Unrecognized” is a good title. I’ve never heard this before. It’s slightly plodding but still enjoyable. Similarly, “Remember Sweet” has a steady beat that keeps you going longer than you might think.
The last track is “Walking Up Dandelions.” It has a really long intro but otherwise sends the listener off with a thorough understanding of the Cock and Swan sound. Nothing too innovative on this record as a whole, but then no one is really expecting that, either.

Various Artists “Lost Tribe Sound: One”
October 31, 2010It’s a compilation of Lost Tribe Sound acts. Many of the tracks are instrumental, but the ones with the vocals provide for entertaining entertainment. Pollution Salute has a real gem with “Bright Shine,” which might be about when you take Taco Bell hot sauce and rub it on a penny.
The Birdcage use ethereal synths and great female lyrics on “Daydream.” This is one of my favorite songs of the year, and I want to know what I can do to make this band millionaires. Cock & Swan already are well-known around these parts, and the acoustic version of “Unrecognized” is recognizably awesome.
Benoit Pioulard gives us an acoustic version of “Hirondelle.” Most of the other 20 tracks on the record are instrumentals, making for useful beds or freestyle karaoke sessions.
