Moto Boy - Self Titled (2008)

"Ini album debutnya Oskar Humlebo dari Pikko, lagunya si ada macem macem jenis dari yang mirip Jens lekmann ... sampe yg medok banget new wave/synth 80's-nya kayak Bowie atau Real Life (masi pada inget gak ya?), yang paling gua suka adalah karakter suaranya, kalo Bret Anderson sama Jarvis Cocker kawin trus punya anak, jadinya ya si Oskar Humlebo ini , lagu2nya cukup "indie-pop" dan catchy ... dijamin denger dua kali udah menggumam ikutan nyanyi...hehe" -pinkegobox

Wow, this boy can sing!
I’ve been listening to Moto Boy a.k.a. Oskar Humlebo’s debut album for a while now, and it is rare to hear male voices like that on a pop record these days… He has a very powerful voice and a magnificent range, from the deep to the really high falsetto-tones. The vocal lines are complex, but when Humlebo sings, he sounds relaxed and confident, - like this is the easiest thing in the world.

The exterior of Moto boy is something you’ll probably love or hate. Lipstick and makeup, high heels, bare chest, leatherjacket and leatherpants, flying V heavy metal guitar…
I think it’s cool.

What about the songs? You can find both of his catchy singles here, "Blue Motorbike" and "Young love", and there are plenty of more good ones here. I fell for the intensely beautiful "Ride My Wild Heart", with a simple but effective arrangement built around Humlebo’s vocals and a wonderful melody/lyric. This is in my opinion one of 2008’s best pop-songs so far.

When I first heard the album, I had some trouble with the sharp and clean guitarsound that dominates the album.
It reminded me of everything that was bad with the 80s… Cheesy…
It took a while to get used to, but now, I find myself enjoying it. The sound is right for the songs, and the guitar could not be different. The album has some intuitive hits that you’ll like right away, and several beautiful songs that will only show you their greatness when you’re ready for them.

All in all a very good debut-album from an artist with a strong personality.[eardrumsmusic]

Kelly Sweet - We Are One (2007)

"Ngga tau nih nyambung ke indie apa ngga, tapi vokalnya teduuuuhhhh banget. ada jazz-nya dikit. kepincut gara2 bawain Dream On-nya Aerosmith." -bemo_ceper

I'm not a classical music fan, so I was a little apprehensive, hearing the earlier comment of the slight operatic feel, but I have never regretted purchasing this album.

It is stunningly beautiful. There are a few standout moments that left me breathless - I won't go into too much detail here, but the standout songs for me are I Will Be Waiting and Dream On.

Long story short - if you like passionate and chilled music, you will love this album. [amazon]

Kyte - Kyte - 2008 (EP)

Orchestral. Sweeping. Melancholic. Epic.

What's it all about?

Spanning seven songs, this release at times feels more like an EP than a full-length recording. But Kyte cram as many expansive, ice age shoegazing adventures into those efforts as they can muster.

Via a plethora of emotional journeys, Kyte sees a potent concoction of heavenly moments in space, taking in big chords, wintry loops and frosty atmospherics. Mainly this is a welcome blueprint, but some sections see measured audio theatrics being undone by slightly (and I emphasise slightly) out of place vocals. This is just a small point and shouldn't detract from the scope of this album.

Some of the themes covered here include coming in from the cold, desperation and retreat - soulful subjects that perfectly fit the ambient mood.

Who's it by?

Kyte hail from Leicester and according to their MySpace profile consist of Ben, Jamie, Nick, Scott and Tom. This is the band's first release proper on the Kids label; they join a roster that includes indie darlings the Wombats, ex-Orbital synth-fiend Paul Hartnoll and Manc electro-dons the Whip.

Next month the outfit are set to depart on a tour of the UK and then continue it in April with further label mates' iLiKETRAiNS. The same trip is likely to see the band then head further afield to Japan.

As an example...

"Choking on a silent device." - Planet

"Withdrawn from life… wasted smiles." - Secular Ventures

Likelihood of a trip to the Grammys

At this point of a fledgling career, it's highly unlikely that Kyte will shift a vast amount of units, but with such spectacular, almost religious music, that's probably not the main aim. In the future, well, if they play it right, anything could happen.

What the others say

" Kyte - Leicestershirean, comprehending, remain strung to the earth (but only just) with that MIDI soul of theirs." - Meryl Trussler, This is Fake DIY

"The shoegazing and the post rock elements keep things grandiose and epic but the band manage to really give these songs life." - John Siwicki, Comfort Comes

So is it any good?

A well-tuned and well-delivered album, Kyte encompasses a wide variety of sounds that hint towards a band who are in control of their craft. From the opening moments of first slice of ethereal immensity Planet, it is easy to comprehend the nature of the impending ride.

That track's plaintive and hymn-like riffs tilt obviously towards the glaciated delicacy of Sigur Ros, while Boundaries fills up the speakers through gathering pianos and xylophonic majesty. What makes Kyte a pleasure is the on-off, intermittent bombast of the music - at one point you feel as if you're in the middle of a forest, but surrounded by amps, the next, watching a tranquil stream.

As the record progresses, the notion of this band as a force comes to life - Secular Ventures harks towards the Postal Service because of its wistful tones and violins, Sunlight melds shimmering rhythms to glistening sun showers. Kyte is not a record without fault - improved production takes time as does the clarity of vocal work - yet this is band with epic potential.
