From the latest Rough Trade releases... Three reviews of albums I'm sure that I'll be buying soon... Like, er, this weekend.
Juana Molina: Segundo This, the debut UK release from Juana Molina of Argentina, is the collision of voice and acoustic guitar with synth and electronics moves that takes the album into sublime territory. The production is intimate and adds a fresh shine to the Latino analogue bubblebath. It's a world music album embracing the new as well as respecting the traditions of the old, and pushes Argentinean music into the premier league.
Interpol: Antics The number of modern rock bands pillaging from the early '80s continues to increase exponentially, but 'Antics', the second album from New York's Interpol, confirms they're still a cut above all in the elegance of their steals. Think the Psychedelic Furs, Television, Peter Hook basslines etc. Interpol have produced a soaring, inventive album that, while incorporating the deliciously dark atmosphere of 'Turn On The Bright Lights', merely uses it as a base to create more ambitious, warmer soundscapes. Some of the dark atmosphere has been lifted and replaced with more optimistic and melodic themes. a magnificent next step on the road to stardom.
Marianne Faithfull: Before The Poison An album of extraordinary power from a true icon, fuelled by collaborations with and contributions from such artists as PJ Harvey, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Damon Albarn. The core of 'Before The Poison' - Marianne's first album for two years - are the contributions by PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. Polly Harvey has penned three of the songs and co-written another two with Faithfull while Cave and Marianne jointly wrote a further three tunes. Both PJ Harvey and Nick Cave - together with members of their respective bands - also perform on the album. Damon Albarn has also contributed a song while the remaining track on the album was written by the acclaimed American composer Jon Brion in partnership with Marianne Faithfull. "Before the Poison's" liner notes are by the renowned novelist and critic Will Self.
