The Cult: Choice of Weapon

Here Comes The Flood — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:38:00 GMT

Law suits, break-up, reunion, a hiatus and another reunion. The Cult have survived it all. Founding members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have persevered over the years. Few bands can get way with sounding pretty much the same over the decade, but The Cult can. Their new album Choice of Weapon has their signature guitar sound and the current rhythm section is a rumbling freight train. Astbury's voice may have lost a bit of hits reach, but has retained the dark overtones and anger that made them a household name since the mid-Eighties.

Produced by Bob Rock, Choice of Weapon is a nostalgia trip of sorts. The Cult are here to stay, never mind their doom laden lyrics about the world going down in flames, predatory animals and evasive damsels in distress. That has also been part of the package since they started out in 1983. Expect to see a sea of high held cellphones during the power ballad Life > Death.

The Cult:
Ian Astbury: lead vocals, percussion
Billy Duffy: lead guitar
Chris Wyse: bass
John Tempesta: drums

Choice of Weapon is released on Cooking Vinyl. The Deluxe edition has comes with a bonus CD with four tracks that were recorded when putting the album together.

Tracks:

Honey from a Knife
Elemental Light
The Wolf
Life > Death
For The Animals
Amnesia
Wilderness Now
Lucifer
A Pale Horse
This Night In The City Forever

Tracks bonus CD:

Every Man And Woman Is A Star
Embers

Neil Young & Crazy Horse: "Clementine" video

Here Comes The Flood — Sat, 19 May 2012 08:13:00 GMT

Watch the new Neil Young & Crazy Horse video for Clementine, a track from the forthcoming album Americana (June 5th).

From the Liner Notes:

This American folk ballad is believed to be based on “Down By The River Liv’d a Maiden” by H.S. Thompson 1863. However, it is usually credited to Percy Montrose, 1884 or Barker Bradford from about the same period. The Americana arrangement extends the folk process, using many of the original words and a new melody. The song tells the story of either a bereaved lover recalling his lost sweetheart, or a father missing his lost daughter. In both cases the daughter has drowned in an accident. The song is now famous as an American children’s song. The verse about Clementine’s sister has been omitted from most children’s versions. This verse has different meanings depending on whether the point of view of the singer is taken as the lover or the father.

Marnorlady, a psychedelic shoegaze band form Charlottesville, VA, are releasing their new album Ego Oppressor and a limited one-sided 7" Boyhood Freedom in June. Dark and foreboding their songs will be embraced by fans of The Cure and Dead Leaf Echo at their gloomiest.

Manorlady:
Aaron Bailey: guitar, vocals, programming
Melissa Bailey: bass, vocals
Donald Wooley: keyboards

Ego Oppressor is released their own label Part Keeler. Comes with a DVD with a beat-synched album-length video track meant to one-up the Arkaos-driven projections of many Manorlady live shows. The Boyhood Freedom 7"(25 copies) is made by Cellar Hits. Release date: June 18th.

Tracks:

Dog on High
Lines in the Corner of Your Face
Monster
Sea Beast
Children with Two Hearts
