Rolling Art-Rock Thread 2009

if you approach frusciante with modesty there might be some good stuff to it, but what's so offputting is his fans have all of his 234255890 records and believe it's all divine work

we've posted about frusciante plenty of times

this thread sucks

it's super easy to understand what louis means and what kind of music he likes so why not just suggest shit he might like and other ppl might like instead of haggling over what's "art rock" and what's "prog" and blah blah blah

Strawberry Fields, Polish art-rock band with a female vocalist who sounds like Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering/ Agua De Annique) and Paatos and White Willow

press release

Strawberry Fields "is a rock band from Poland. Created in 2008 by Wojtek Szadkowski (Collage, Satellite, Peter Pan) fascinated by the voice of Robin (Marta Kniewska). Strawberry Fields’ music is a strange blend of the old and the new, of rock guitars and soft keyboards, loops and psychedelic soundscapes. But what is most important here is the magical voice of Robin, a beautiful female lead singer."... "It’s a perfect album for the lovers of such bands as Goldfrapp, Portishead or Massive Attack. Marta’s voice will also satisfy fans of Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering/ Agua De Annique).But you can find strong pop melodies and a bit of Enya, Pink Floyd too. "

Strawberry Fields - Rivers Gone Dry - is set to be released by Metal Mind Productions on 26th January in Europe / 10th March in USA.
