An excellent side project from The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach. A fuller sound, a more 60's feel. Good stuff. It'll hold you over till Dan and Patrick get back to business.
Sean and Sara Watkins from the once and future Nickle Creek (picture Alison Krauss but more likely to cover The White Stripes or Pavement) are joined by Heartbreaker keyboardist Benmont Tench, Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg and Fiona Apple for a series of songs, mostly covers: Dylan, The Dead, Fleetwood Mac, Robert Earl Keen, Lee Ving, and Disney's Robin Hood. That was one sentence.
Harpsichords. A decidedly low-key effort from Ratatat. Still excellent. If you like them you'll like this one. If you're in more of a room/rump shaking album, get an earlier album, like Classics or their Self-Titled debut.
This movie is like a roller coaster. I mean that there's a bit of a slow build. That's the climb up to the first drop. Misfit kid gets recruited to join a super secret Spy-Fi agency. Training. Meet the villain. Raise the stakes. Once it crests that hill and goes into that drop, it picks up speed, then there's twists, loops. It's great. Another solid outing from Matthew Vaughn.
Damon Albarn puts his many (Gorillaz) many (Rocket Juice & The Moon) many ( The Good The Bad & The Queen) excellent solo projects (oh, yeah, Everyday Robots) on hold to go back to the band that we all fell in love with: Blur. A welcome return.
