For More

This will need a little more time to sink in. This is Brit's Bloc Party's latest 2012 release. It's louder and more complicated. There starting to sound like a halo or like flies flying above your head.

Kanoy , jOePM
by R.C. Kola
Lately I've been hearing a lot of songs from FilAm artists, and Philippine based American and foreign bands, I even heard of this pure American Boy "Gabby" singing and talking Tagalog, and a little Australian girl singing "Bahay Kubo". And now this. If there's such sound as OPM Twee-Pop, this is it. Released 01 April 2012, the lyrics are just so straightforward, light and acoustically raw. Heavily influenced by the OPM popband Itchy Worms and Eraserheads, I think. This man is like showing Filipinos the beauty and the melodic sound of the Philippine language. Just when more Filipinos are trying hard to sound American, this American has succeeded to sound Filipino.

Nothing and Everything
by R.C. Kola
The wave is still there. More keys, more synth. More like living on the late 80's or 90's? Like Barcelona, like Dep Mode or Numan. More tagalog lyrics. More Filipino spunk. Rico Blanco's more passionate second release. Less happier, more fun. Melodic. Techno-saddened good. The sound is addictive. It is what it is.

The Rain, The Sky
by R. C. Kola
Landed on my lap forwarded by a good friend, that artist from the band Happy? fortunately. This myriad compilation overflows and bursting at its seams. Seventeen tracks from seventeen bands I never ever heard from before. That one band "Sex Art" apparently had one member from Korn "Jonathan Davis". This compilation is found on Sex Art's Korn Memorabilia. Another awesome treat you shouldn't slip away. Unlikely from 1992, versatile rock acts in different genre. This was how it really sounded from behind in the 90's. From the heartbreaking and "spooky" "1912" to Smiling Days' Fall, Large Wooden Matches' happy/sad mucus laden "Look To The Sky", reggae, ambient, synth, lo-fi or pop and rock driven, let it roll and fill your ears with wax.
