JAGA JAZZIST\u00a0<\/strong>[NORWAY]

\n<\/strong>if you have yet to check into the\u00a0jaga jazzist<\/strong>\u00a0hotel, you’ve missed out on a great deal up until now. never fear, their new album ‘what we must’ is a great jumping-on point. released through the norwegian label\u00a0smalltown supersound<\/strong>\u00a0and via\u00a0ninja tune<\/strong>, it represents some of their most accessible material to date. a ten-piece featuring a core team of three horntveth family members, the band released their first material back in 1994, when some of them were only 14 years old. in the intervening years, their releases have met with incredible acclaim, particularly the 2003 album ‘the stix’. where that album carried a degree of electronic production, adding beats and samples to their trademark guitar \/ horns \/ drums sound, ‘what we must’ is their self-confessed “rock album”. for me, there’s an immediate connection with last year’s excellent tortoise album ‘it’s all around you’ – swathes of guitar-driven melody married with amazing horns and jazz drumming played at a pounding pace, it really does leave you breathless. ‘what we must’ along with\u00a0caribou<\/strong>‘s ‘milk of human kindness’ and\u00a0four tet<\/strong>‘s ‘everything ecstatic’ are shaping up to be the three key instrumental albums of 2005. a further six mp3s from earlier releases can be found on their site\u00a0here<\/a>.

\nmike patton\u00a0<\/strong>mp3<\/a>
\n<\/strong>in which cologne-based duo jenny and robert drive a stake through the pretty-boy heart of electro pop, spiking it up with deutsche grammar, abrupt guitar and old school analogue drums! i can’t quite tell you what the song is about other than it does have the words ‘faith no more’ in the chorus, so i have to assume it is actually all about mr patton himself. jenny’s brother has made them a video, and brings with him some polished cred having shot clips for\u00a0sven vath<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0miss kittin<\/strong>. honestly, i love this shit – goddam germans, they do it for me every time. a whole album’s worth of mp3s can be grabbed from\u00a0planetakis.de<\/a>.
