March releases that are worth listening fully

Billy Aylish - When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?

2019 already want to be a year of Billy Aylish if getting any output in 2018 infopovodom the young singer's singles, the promising debut album has led to debate about it and overrated prospects. It is difficult to give a definite answer: this release, want to admire the first few seconds, but by the end of the 14th track, he may be great tire.

One of the recipes for creating the perfect pop product - give the listener everything that gives other popular performers, and a little more. And that's not the way Billy Aylish: it is difficult to someone to compare, and it is "a little more" and defines all her work.

It manifests itself in a variety of: ballads like When The Party's Over and closing Goodbye here get along with dance bengerami Bad Guy and You Should See Me In a Crown. The voice, devoid of any strength: even in these bengerah Aylish sounds like just about will go somewhere in a field

ASMR-Audio. In an unusual sound: for example, attracting the attention of vocal processing in Xanny or creep-sample in Bury a Friend. And in the endless mischief: for example, in My Strange Addiction dialogue sounds from the TV series "Office". Just because it is possible, too.

Release Aylish not a revelation and not a new word in the world of pop music. And it seems that there really are too many songs. But overrated call it is also not desirable. Still appear out of nowhere to take the thought music critics, to settle in the teen players and, most importantly, become actor with its image, character and sound - the task of the artist, and it can not cope alone promotion influential label.

Foals - Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1

The first part of the diptych Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost from one of the most popular indie bands given not just in the world. After a few listens it is not clear what tracks I want to turn over, but the memory remains only On The Luna and Exits, which came out in the form of singles at the beginning of the year. But this is not a reason to blame indiscriminately release which have all been waiting for four years: an unprecedented break between albums for Foals.

If you see next to the description tag plate "math rock", do not believe: the real experiments with the size of Foals have ended before the release of the first album's license. In this release, the British continue to play a straightforward guitar poprock - it seems to be a little more serious, complex and multi-layered.

They raise the social, political and environmental issues in the texts, but Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost is not boring manifesto, which we do not expect from Foals, and an album of contrasts and unpredictability. Many songs include plot twists and the ending is not so, as a beginner, and a half-tracks it's hard not to dance.

One may recall rollicking dances by Cassius and romantic moments of youth under the Spanish Sahara, seek and not find it in the same sample Foals of 2019. But the British are still the best show in the indie world, and nothing can be done about it.

The second part of the diptych will be released in September. Most likely, we will write about it.

Brutus - Nest

Disclaimer: Last.fm reports five groups with the same name, but we are talking about the Belgian trio.

Brutus combines strong female vocals and a host of rock genres, popular and zero tenths: post-hardcore, post-rock and postmetal. At times of peak expression of desperation and voice of vocalist and drummer Stefanie Mannaert may recall the Dolores O'RiordanIn the lyrical moments - about Amy Lee. Despite a lot of references to the music of the past, Brutus - current team, which was interesting to watch. His new album, Nest may appeal to those who love poekspressivnee, a darker and potragichnee.

Acquaintance with the group we recommend to start with a single War, and even better - with the video on it. Here it is concentrated all the best that can be heard on Nest.

"With me that's what" - "Summer Wind"

"With me that's what" - Moscow group, reinterprets the musical heritage of the 1960s and 1970s. This is manifested in the love of good music and songwriting Soviet receptions of the time.

The team creates a very good composition, full of feigned naivete, and achieves sound "as it was then." But the mood this nostalgic pop rock resembles something between a friendly work group "Red Banner division named after my grandmother," "Constellation segment" and the first album "Lenzvuka". Musical same roots "With me that's what" should seek first and foremost in the Soviet VIA.

The album lacks a little self-sufficient and priedlivyh pop melodies and the most enjoyable track - a cover version of a song by Valery Obodzinskii "Belated Love". Composition "With me here is that the" reluctant to get along in any playlist, they do not want to listen to, individually and on repeat. Listening to the album "Summer Wind" in suitable conditions - rather, it is simply interesting experience. It seems that this is not an independent music, and accompaniment, for example, the first day of the warm spring.

"Willow" - "The dust is flying for a long time"

Group "willow" - a duo of musicians Ukolov Alexander and Svetlana Tsepkala. They could certainly would compose hits duo times if specially hides pop tunes of their potential, and in his texts constantly meet unusual and haunting lines. In addition, it was Alexander stood for "curd lake"- a unique Russian-speaking chillwave-project of the early 2010's, with whose small discography, we recommend meet even six years after its closure.

Describing the work of the pop avant-garde project, we did not even venture to look for analogies in contemporary music: so everything is original, illogical, inconvenient. barrier to entry, "The dust is flying a long time" create strange samples, dissonant melodies and unusual male voice. But it is the case that make the effort worthwhile. During the experimental landscape "willow" hiding the most trivial and familiar like the heart of a pop song. Some of them sound like some ballad Alsou you forget 20 years ago, and to hear something like that - it's very strange and interesting experience. An amateur, of course.

Acquaintance with the work of "willow" is possible with the song "Color of Hope" and "White Smile" and releases the Samsung, "Muzykayf" and fresh "Dust is flying for a long time." Then you can move on to more experimental works that the duo rarely spreads in the community "VKontakte". For example, "Brown Blues", a record which participated rapper Archanga, or "paradise vases"In which the artist seems to have really sounded different vases.
