Soaring Above

Doves roots can be traced back to brothers Andy and Jez Willams meeting Jimi Goodwin when they were teenagers. After several attempts in other musical projects they became Sub Sub. A dance act that had moderate success with single "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)". It wasn't until the band's studio burnt down that they made the decision to switch to a more rock oriented sound and thus became Doves. They issued debut album Lost Souls in 2000 to much critical acclaim and then Last Broadcast in 2002 with both albums being nominated for the Mercury Prize. In 2003 the band compiled b-sides and rarities for Lost Sides. For their 3rd full length they retreated to the countryside to record and then released Some Cities in 2005. 4th album Kingdom Of Rust took a bit longer to see the light of day but finally did in 2009. After that it was announced that the band were going on hiatus and that sparked rumours of a break up. The band cleared that up by issuing a statement saying they had no immediate plans to return to the studio but said that it could still happen if they felt ready. They had also spoke of venturing into different projects such as film soundtracks. "Jetstream" from Kingdoms of Rust was the band's attempt at film music saying it was conceived as "an imaginary song for the closing credits on Ridley Scott's classic Blade Runner.". Who knows where the band is headed but hopefully they will continue the amazing lineage of albums they have released as Doves. Upon first hearing Lost Souls I was immediately hooked from opening song "Firesuite" and the US release featured additional tracks which added to the album being one of their finest releases so far in my opinion. Close your eyes dear:

Mind The Gap

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives or T.S.O.O.L as they are often referred to are from Sweden. Even though they got their start in 1995 it wasn't until 2002 that they received much attention. Their first album Welcome To The Infant Freebase was released in 1996 followed by Extended Revelation for the Psychic Weaklings of Western Civilization in 1998. When they put out Behind The Music in 2002 is when people finally took notice even earning them a Grammy nomination. 2004 saw the band issue Origins Vol. 1 which is to be followed by Vol. 2 in the near future. In 2008 the band made a bold move and put forth Communion, which was a double disc to the masses. In an already failing CD market a double CD is a hard sell but with the CD being stocked full of solid tracks it would be impossible to ignore the amount of work put into it. T.S.O.O.L. have definite ties to classic rock of yester year but still manage to sound fresh and relevant. Ebbot Lundberg is also a great front man who engages the audience in live settings by going out into the crowd to make them feel a part of the performance. Don't pass up on an opportunity to make friends with Soundtrack. Unleash the good times:

Yer Like The Ocean

A band that has been making waves for 3 albums now goes by the name of The Besnard Lakes. Originating from Montreal they were formed in 2003 by husband and wife duo Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas. Their first album Volume 1 came out in 2003 in limited release but was later given a larger release. Both their 2nd and 3rd albums were recorded at Jace Lasek's Breakglass studios. Besides singing the duo also self produced the albums and Jace has produced for Land Of Talk, Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown and Young Galaxy. Second album ...Are The Dark Horse ganered them a Polaris Prize nomination while third album ...Are The Roaring Night earned them yet another nod. Very atmospheric and built upon layers of sound, the band has carved out their own niche in an already talented pool of musicians in Montreal. Etheral vocals sung in Jace Lasek's trademark falsetto lull the senses and allow the music to flow through. Take a dip:

"For Agent 13" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

"Devastation" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

Bittersweet

The Shore are from California and got their start in 2002 when Ben Ashley (lead singer) began writing songs and then recorded a demo which caught the ear of a record executive who offered the band a contract after only a short time together. They recorded and released The Shore EP in 2003 which was then followed by their debut self titled album in 2004. They left their record label and went on to self release their 2008 album Light Years which was initially only a digital release but then a CD version came out the following year. The Verve comparisons will be immediate as both the songs and Ben Ashley's voice draw comparisons quite easily. All around a great underrated band that will hopefully gain some attention for their efforts. Please hold on:

"Firefly" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

"Hard Road" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

Get Your Kicks

The Hiss were a band from Atlanta, Georgia who were only around for a brief time. Their first album Panic Movement came out in 2003 and was produced by Owen Morris who had previously produced Oasis and The Verve. They had some minor hits off the album that were used in video games and movies. Their second album Chocolate Hearts was released in 2007 and while recording the album in Florida, the band had to be evacuated due to hurricanes. Sadly in 2008 the band decided to split up. Definitely rock n roll in every sense and unfortunate that they didn't get to develop their sound further. Dig in:

Design and Disassemble

Engineers are a british band who formed in 2003. They released a mini album entitled Folly in 2004 preceding their debut self titled album in 2005. After the release of Engineers their record company folded so while recording their second album it was unsure what would happen with the band. After signing to a new label they released Three Fact Fader in 2009. In February 2010 it was announced that 2 of the founding members were leaving the group on amicable terms. After adding new members the band set forth with In Praise Of More which came out in September of 2010. This is very atmospheric music and will definitely lull the senses with soft vocals and shimmering guitars. Take a trip along the aural sound scape:

"Home" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

"Come In Out Of The Rain" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

Deux Es Machina

Today's featured band is Electric Soft Parade originating from Brighton, England. Consisting of brothers Alex & Thomas White, their first album Holes In The Wall was released in 2002 and went on to garner them a lot of attention. Following in 2003 with The American Adventure which was their response to the treatment they had received from BMG. Although a bit different in soundscape it was as solid as Holes In The Wall. In 2005 they released The Human Body EP and then No Need To Be Downhearted in 2007. Since 2008 the band has been on an indefinite hiatus but Thomas White has released solo albums and both brothers continue to play in Brakes. Definitely a band that has instantly likable songs and hopefully will have some more material for Electric Soft Parade soon. Slide away:

"There's A Silence" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

"Silent To The Dark" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nC-uyhg1c

Revisiting The Past

In anticipation of the upcoming 2010 list I thought I would break from tradition and post the last couple of years best of lists. I encourage you to do the same this year and compile your own list. For any music geek this is their time to shine with showing off their knowledge and also sharing music with others. I have done this for the last couple of years and let me tell you it does not get any easier. The hardest one was the best albums of the last 10 years to mark the leap into 2010. So take a look and you may find some stuff that is new or just remind you of some of the music you may have forgotten. Enjoy and don't be afraid to check out the music for yourself:
