Dean Owens - Whisky Hearts
|
In many ways, Dean Owens’s third solo album is very old fashioned. That isn’t meant as a criticism - musically it references huge slabs of Springsteen (especially the opener, Years Ago, one of those slyly political songs with its ripe rip of sax, and the gloriously uplifting Hallelujah) and in its more relaxed moments the [...]

Tom Baxter - Skybound
|
It’s been three years since we heard anything from Tom Baxter. His 2004 release Feather and Stone, especially its opening track My Declaration, was a Radio Two favourite, but since then, not a sausage. Now comes Skybound, an autobiographical album, which shows off his angelic, dreamy voice with an eclectic mix of sounds and styles.A [...]

The Magnetic Fields - Distortion (Nonesuch)
|
It’s four years since the last The Magnetic Fields album, i, but Stephin Merritt has hardly been idle. Yet where 69 Love Songs showed a remarkable profligacy of songwriting, and Showtunes elicited his love of Chinese music, Distortion is a conscious step back - not just looking over its shoulder, but swiveling round for a [...]

soulful to sweet and gentle, earning her instant comparisons to Fiona Apple and Norah Jones. At age 18, she left the Redwood forests of her hometown, Eureka, CA, [...]

Fogerty’s Creative Revival
|
John Fogerty’s newest, Revival, is easily his best record since Centerfield, and has some of his best material since the CCR days. Songs like Gunslinger, Creedence Song, and Long Dark Night hold their own against Creedence’s best stuff.
The album starts off with Don’t You Wish It Was True, with a beat that is similar to [...]

Zwan
Zwan and his solo album) Corgan reunited with drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and released the Pumpkins' sixth studio album on 07-07-2007, and it got the Mellon Collie sound back. Though the album is somewhat watered down and trivialized for Linkin Park ... The Smashing Pumpkins “Zeitgeist”- Billy Corgan has been washed up since “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.” This album might be worse than Zwan, if that’s even possible. -Dan Shafer The year's worst national release ... Zwan. As of Nov. 1, Digital Lightwave (OTC BB: DIGL) still owed Optel $27.9 million in principal as well as $6.3 million in accrued interest.

Billy Corgan officially broke up the Smashing Pumpkins in December 2000 but brought along drummer Jimmy Chamberlin for his short-lived follow-up project, Zwan. And Corgan chose to promote his 2005 solo album, "The Future Embrace," with the ... After an easily forseeable breakup and stillbirths for a new Corgan band (Zwan) and solo career, Smashing Pumpkins have again done the obvious thing -- they're reunited, albeit with half of the original lineup missing and a clunker of a new album ... When Billy Corgan took out a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune to announce the reformation of the Smashing Pumpkins, few would have guessed that we would get Zwan instead. But perhaps it was just wishful thinking on our part. After all, this 2007 ... ... Kwanzaa song which sees the band collaborating with James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Cole (Black Lips), Davey Havok (AFI), Kevin Peterson (What's Your Rupture?), Faris Rotter (The Horrors), Mike Fellows (Rites Of Spring), Matt Sweeney (Chavez/ Zwan ...
