The new album of Brand New is a daisy

DAISY by BRAND NEW



Sing alleluia! Quality hard rock is not dead. You need a proof man of poor faith? I’ve got one for you called Daisy. The album presents solid and heavy tracks that will not let you cold. And when Brand New calm down they do not play a mediocre ballad, like most hard rock bands do, but they go for really inspired pop/rock songs (hear it here). Daisy is a must for every rock ’n’ roll aficionado.

The songs you must and will not miss: Vices, Gasoline, In a jar. Daisy is album of the week on Jenkins’ Glory Radio.

Interested U.S. readers can click on the above amazon widget to buy the album or songs. You can listen to the album on musicme and buy it on itunes, amazon,…

Catch-up #1: The Mystical John Frusciante

Catch-up #1 : John Frusciante : The Empyrean

This is the first post of the « catch-up series ». This sequel presents albums that I missed earlier this year but that fortunately came back to my ears thanks to you. The first episode is brought to you by Xavier (tierce humeur).

What best describes the last solo record of Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ (RHCP) guitarist is the title: The Empyrean which means, for those like me who don’t know what it is :

1. the sky or heavens: the sky or celestial sphere ( literary )
2. highest part of heaven: the highest part of heaven, believed in ancient Greek and Roman times to contain pure fire or light and believed by some Christians to be the dwelling place of God ( archaic )

(taken from Encarta).

The ambiance of the album, released in January 2009, is mystical very far away from RHCP music. It is closer to palace brothers but with longer instrumental parts and more rock oriented. Frusciante is not the best singer of the rock scene but it sufficiently good to haunt the album. His guitar play is as always very good and never demonstrative.

Label: Record Collection
Producer: John Frusciante

Brute Chorus: The Brute Sensation



Brute Chorus is a London based 4-piece rock Band. We can hear that BC grew up in pubs by the brute energy they deliver on their new record. Brute Chorus' album is a collection of short and dense songs with a clean but brute sound. The compositions are well written with nice touches of inventiveness and folk inspirations.

The songs you must and will not miss: Grow fins, The ransom (maybe my preferred song) and the cuckoo and the stolen heart.

Brute chorus is album of the week on Jenkins’ Glory Radio.

Interested U.S. readers can click on the above amazon widget to buy the album or songs. It is also available on musicme, lastfm, itunes,….

By the way how many times did I wrote the word “Brute” in this post?

Sincerely,

Mister JGB for Jenkins’Glory Blog.

Flaming lips: An embryonic & psychedelic journey



Did you know that the Flaming Lips released their first LP in 1986? Yes it was 23 years ago. Flaming lips must be the oldest embryo ever.

Anyway Embryonic sounds great and new. It has psychedelic influences from the start till the end and a dirty sound like we could hear on some Primus records. To conclude let me quote a flaming lips fan: "I have it!!!! It's great, it sounds like their old stuff but since they have money now it sounds really great".

Interested U.S. readers can click on the amazon widget to buy the album or songs. It is also available on musicme.

Daan lives in Manhay

Daan (former leader of Dead Man Ray) released on 27th march 2009 a beautiful album called Manhay. What does Manhay mean?
Some people will tell you that it is the name of a little village lost in the woods.
Some people will tell you that it is a mysterious place where the songwriter takes his inspiration.
Some people will tell you that they don't care.
Jenkins will tell you that it is the name of an album you must have in your collection.

Do not miss the following songs: exes (damn! it's so good), brand new truth (oh so beautiful), icon (country flavor), radio silence (a killer song), bad boy, bad girl (tremendous bridge), ....

You can buy the album on Daan - Manhay (Bonus Track Version) (available in some countries only) or listen to it on deezer.

For more information on Daan click here.

Sincerely,

Mister Jenkins' Glory Blog

Note: Some of you may know the bass player on this album: the incredible Michel Hatzigeorgiou
