Free download from Anni Rossi!
Though Anni Rossi is best known for plucking away on her viola, “Crushing Limbs” sees the 24-year-old experimenting with the 80s lo-fi sounds of the synthesizer. However, Rossi attempts to pull a fast one on the listener as she layers happy, fuzzy synth beats over dark, hopeless lyrics. You essentially find yourself happily swaying along and humming the tune, until you realize she’s singing words like “squeeze the guts out and let it rip.”
YEAH IT’S PRETTY MUCH AWESOME —-> DOWNLOAD ANNI ROSSI “CRUSHING LIMBS”
Rossi’s new album will be out this summer. For those hoping to catch her live this weekend at All Tomorrow’s Parties, she’s canceled due to unforseen circumstances. But fear not, tour plans are in the works for the U.S. and U.K.!
Whale support!
With only four shows left, Noah and the Whale’s Club Silencio tour is wrapping up! Catch them before it’s over because by the look of things the tour is quite the surreal spectacle. Just look at how they kicked off the night at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire:
They promised a good time. It looks to me like they delivered.
For fans on the other side of the pond, the Whale boys may not be bringing Club Silencio Part Deux to the States in April, but they are bringing some pretty cool folks along for support on the entire tour:
Based in Chicago, 23-year-old Anni Rossi is a self-proclaimed “multi-instrumentalist” (viola , drums, and cello to name a few) solo artist who just released her debut album Rockwell on March 9th. She’s been playing for while and has already opened for the likes of Camera Obscura and The Ting Tings.
Check out Anni Rossi’s official myspace for some music (“Machine” is particularly addicting, if I do say so myself). If you like what you hear, buy her new album! Personally, I find there’s something slightly Spektor-esque about her sound and it’s caught my ear. How is it that some music can seem simple, yet intricate all at the same time?
Ferraby Lionheart is a singer-songwriter (I use the term in a non-insulting way) who seems to hail from many places –Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago? Catch the Brass Ring, his debut album, was released in September 2007. Ferraby offers up some music for free listening on his myspace. Even more free music can be found on his official website (“A Bell and a Tumble” and “The Ballad of Gus and Sam” are catchy little numbers).
Rossi and Lionheart are definitely artists worth checking out further. Both have showcases at SXSW in Austin, TX next week.
Most importantly, don’t forget to catch them opening for Noah and the Whale in April! Check out the dates here.
