In the music of Selah Sue felt a casualty, a smooth, pouring sense of urban flaccid, songs lining up smoothly and carried away by his positivism. This brings me that pleasure, and due to her undisputed talent, that comes to me while I was inserted in it's "trip". Her new self-titled album is a mix of pop, indie rock, reggae attitude and unquestionable talent of Selah to introduced in the positive.

Sleep ∞ Over - "Romantic Streams"


Here is the debut album of dream-pop beauty Sleep ∞ Over, it issued by Hippos In Tanks. People from there then say "Sleep ∞ Over are finally at home", but whether it will be so forever, time will tell. Is commendable, and is happy, that despite hinders Stefanie Franciotti, engine of Sleep ∞ Over is not surrender, she have energy, promised, that there will be album, and here it is. And it's wonderful. Stand alongside to the most sensual things of Cocteau Twins, well, little emotional statement, but really there are many catching things in it. First a little piece of detail - the group name is written with the sign of infinity between two words.
So, to the album that is a whole event for me, fascinated by the ghostly-enchanting Sleep ∞ Over melodies.

Sleep ∞ Over - "Romantic Streams"


Ето го и дебютният албум на dream-pop красотата Sleep ∞ Over, издават го Hippos In Tanks. Хората оттам твърдят, че "Sleep ∞ Over най-после са у дома си", а дали ще е така завинаги, времето ще покаже. Похвално е, и е радостно, че въпреки перипетиите Stefanie Franciotti, двигателя на Sleep ∞ Over не се предава, има сили, обеща, че ще има албум, ето го и него. И е прекрасен. Стои редом до най-чувствените неща на Cocteau Twins, добре де, малко емоционално изказване, но наистина има много хващащи неща в него. Първо една лека подробност - името на групата се изписва със знак за безкрайност между двете думи.
И така, към албума който е цяло събитие за мен, пленения от призрачно-омайните Sleep ∞ Over мелодии.

Sleep ∞ Over - "Casual Diamond"


In Sleep ∞ Over participate, or at least participate until recording of "Forever" Christa Palazzolo, which is one half of the Boy Friend, for which you already know from my review on "Lovedropper". And as I was thrilled by the two-songs single of Boy Friend (and hopefully to make a whole album) also expect to be struck by unexceptionable by the magic of Sleep ∞ Over. Another part of this wonderful magical dream-pop project created in early 2010 is Stefanie Francoitti from Austin, Texas, USA. It is also a member of the lo-fi, pop, dream-pop group Silver Pines.

Sleep ∞ Over - "Casual Diamond"


В Sleep ∞ Over участва, или поне участваше до записите на "Forever" Christa Palazzolo, която е едната половинка от Boy Friend, за които вече знаеш от ревюто ми относно "Lovedropper". И тъй като бях грабнат от двупесенния сингъл на Boy Friend (дано да направят и цял албум) очаквам също така да бъда поразен безпрекусловно от магията на Sleep ∞ Over. Другата част в този чудесен dream-pop магичен проект, създаден в началото на 2010 година е Stefanie Francoitti от Austin, Texas, USA. Също така тя е и член на lo-fi, pop, dream-pop групата Silver Pines.

Starting with the fact that Death Cab For Cutie have made the most melodic and powerful album in his discography. And Ben Gibbard is an extraordinary songwriter and composer, no doubt. Forget linear indie rock, there are electronics, and are passed to the post-rock sound, even, are you doubt in the effect. Any song you can catch you feel it. There are many good piano and keyboard work, which separates the material to another level. There are guitar - rock, indie rock, fresh. They have always been an interesting group to me, yet I had the feeling, that love to experiment and be innovative in their own way in what they do. And here, in this album, they prove that my thoughts. Wonderful lines, dreamy piano, echoes in the vocals in "Home Is A Fire" give whimsicality, that charm, "the bricks make me nervous, they only so strong, love" - ​​reveal claustrophobic, the desire to break the stereotype and get out in the open space, under the big blue sky.

Започвам с това, че Death Cab For Cutie са направили най-мелодичния и силен албум в дискографията си. А Ben Gibbard е един изключителен текстописец и композитор, не се съмнявай. Забрави за праволинейния indie rock, тук има електроника, минали са и към post-rock звучене, дори, съмняваш ли се в резултата. Която и песен да хванеш ще го усетиш. Има много пиано и добра клавирна работа, което отделя материала на друга плоскост. Има китари - rock, indie rock, свежи. Те винаги са ми били интересна група, и все съм имал чувството, че обичат да експериментират и да са иновативни по свой си начин в това което правят. И тук, в този си албум, те доказват тези мои мисли. Чудесният текст, мечтателното пиано, ехото във вокалите в "Home Is A Fire" придават причудливост, която очарова, "the bricks make me nervous, they only so strong, love" - издава клаустрофобичност, желанието да разкъса стереотипа и да излезе на открито, под голямото синьо небе.
