Inside Music
Most blogged artists: Yeasayer, Massive Attack, Delphic
On February 12, the most blogged musical act of the moment is experimental rock band Yeasayer, followed by British bands Hot Chip and Massive Attack. All three acts recently released studio albums, and many bloggers are sharing songs from the albums as part of their weekly MP3 roundups.
Massive Attack - 'We've always been into telling a story'
Trip-hop act Massive Attack have their first stand-alone album for seven years. Here one half of the band, 3D, gives an exclusive inside view of the record that also features Damon Albarn and Martina Topley-Bird
Album: Fionn Regan, The Shadow of an Empire (Heavenly) (Rated 3/ 5 )
For this follow-up to his 2007 debut The End Of History, Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan has discarded his former folksy acoustic approach for folk-rock band arrangements, unashamedly apeing the transitional Dylan of Bringing It All Back Home.
- Album: Jack Rose, Luck in the Valley (Thrill Jockey) (Rated 3/ 5 )
- Album: Lightspeed Champion, Life Is Sweet! Nice to Meet You (Domino) (Rated 3/ 5 )
- Album: Marina & The Diamonds, The Family Jewels (679) (Rated 1/ 5 )
