Tulipa Ruiz no Music Alliance Pact de Janeiro

Começando o ano com a parceria entre a Tulipa Ruiz e o SP Underground como a escolha brasileira para a coletânea MAP deste mês (download).

BRASIL: Meio Desligado
Tulipa Ruiz - Cada Voz
Uma das principais cantoras brasileiras da nova geração, Tulipa Ruiz tem recebido ótima resposta de público e crítica. "Cada voz" é a faixa que encerra seu segundo CD, Tudo Tanto, disponível para download gratuito no site de Tulipa (além de presença constante nas listas de melhores lançamentos de 2012), e conta com a base instrumental executada pelo SP Underground.
English version for international MAP readers and bloggers: Tulipa Ruiz is one of the major new Brazilian singers and is acclaimed by critics and the public alike. "Cada Voz" is the track that closes her second album Tudo Tanto, available for free download on her website, and has its instrumental performed by the experimental band São Paulo Underground.

ARGENTINA: Zonaindie

El Festival De Los Viajes - Los Altos

El Festival De Los Viajes is a psychedelic rock band with a sound that has an epic atmosphere and lyrics that play with your imagination. Los Altos is our favorite track from La Reserva De Los Lieros, their third album.

AUSTRALIA: Who The Bloody Hell Are They?
D.D Dumbo - Tropical Oceans
Oliver Hugh Perry is D.D Dumbo. Perry makes music from his house in Castlemaine, a small rural town 120km from Melbourne. Tropical Oceans is a perfect cue to his unique brand of technicolour lo-fi that spans genres, blues hooks, African folk - and a sound that no one else from anywhere is really making at the moment. Sometimes the best releases never receive as much credit as they deserve, and this is one of them. If music is supposed to make you feel goddamn otherworldly, 2013 is going to be a good year for D.D Dumbo.

  AUSTRIA: Walzerkönig  
Nowhere Train - Ashes
Nowhere Train is a project of seven folk musicians from different bands. After a train tour through the country and a documentary about it, the supergroup's first album, aptly named Station, recently saw the light of day. It was featured on national television and Austria's most popular website. Ashes, a song about a perfect moment, was written on tour by globetrotter Ian Fisher (Missouri/Berlin). 

CANADA: Quick Before It Melts  
Daniel Romano - Middle Child
Get out yer hankies, 'cuz this one's gonna make you ball like a baby. Daniel Romano's transformation into the reincarnated George Jones is now complete, right down to the leisure suit he wears on the cover of Come Cry With Me, his third solo album in as many years. The former Attack In Black frontman has become an impeccable storyteller, and this tale of an estranged son trying to make sense of the senseless will break your heart by the time he gets to the first chorus.

CHILE: Super 45
Motivado - Ferrer
For lack of a better label, the music of Motivado (Mario Martínez) could be classified as 'space Latin house'. After the praise he got for Bobby Fischer, his debut EP, Motivado delivered his second EP, Stasi, just as the past year ended and it exceeds what he accomplished on his first work. Yes, this is experimental music, but extremely danceable. Ferrer is one of three tracks on Stasi EP, a free download from the Discos Pegaos netlabel.

CHINA: Wooozy
Summer Fades Away - Thank You
Summer Fades Away is an instrumental/post-rock band from Changsha. They released their second album We Meet The Last Time, Then Departure through 1724 Records last November, which features more classical elements. Though the band announced they were going on hiatus, fans still hope they could be back soon to make more beautiful music.

DENMARK: All Scandinavian  
North Fall - Curve
Originally a one-man project by singer-songwriter and guitarist Anders Belling, North Fall turned into a full indie-rock 'n' alt-folk band in 2011 and released their first EP late last year, from which Curve is taken. The whole, excellent thing is yours to download on SoundCloud along with seven tracks from Belling's time as a lone rider.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: La Casetera  
Dkano - El Bolo Bolo
Rapper Dkano mocks the rise and fall of a fictitious dembow artist nicknamed Bolo Bolo, in reference to so many one-hit-wonders that this local genre produces, as opposed to true hip-hop. El Bolo Bolo is taken from Dkano's upcoming album Señales.

  ECUADOR: Plan Arteria  
Fabrikante - Chanteoma
Making songs only with the voice is a risk that can produce impressive results. Francisco Valdivieso, better known as Fabrikante, is an artist who uses the flexibility of his voice to create unique compositions based on a powerful beatbox and original vocal loops. Chanteoma is the first single from his debut album, which will be out early this year.

ENGLAND: The Guardian Music Blog  
Public Service Broadcasting - If War Should Come
Public Service Broadcasting is the operations name of one J Willgoose Esq and his cohort Wrigglesworth. Imagine the Pet Shop Boys if they were obsessed with the war. They're an electronic duo from London who use samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material from WW2 and ally them to a variety of beats and backing from krautrock to drum 'n' bass. If War Should Come, from The War Room EP, is typical of their approach, with its found voices and sense of looming menace as the broadcaster warns of impending battle.

FINLAND: Glue  
The Fundamics - Role Of The Soul
Guitars, Rhodes piano, Hammond organ, dub vibes and rap merge to create some of the grooviest music. The Fundamics combine 70s funk and soul with straightforward 90s hip-hop plus the addition of some up-and-coming rappers. Role Of The Soul is an instrumental track from the band's forthcoming album We All Have Our Roots.

FRANCE: Yet You're Fired
Spiders Everywhere - Swing Loops
Spiders Everywhere are a young band whose members hail from France and Switzerland. They released their appropriately titled The First EP last May. With a sense of rhythm as precocious as it is unique, some catchy melodies and soft vocals, this is just what we'd like to hear more often on the French indie-pop scene.

GERMANY: Coltran  
Fraktus - Pogomania
Maybe Fraktus found the best way to jump on the bandwagon of krautrock and neo New German Wave: Say you were one of the most influential bands of that time and a founder of techno but were forgotten about; create a brilliant mockumentary in the style of This Is Spinal Tap and record a "comeback" album. Fraktus' Millenium Edition is in both senses contemporary. The influence of producer Erobique is clearly audible: deconstruction of common patterns, reconstruction to catchy and danceable songs which oscillate between all mentioned electronic music styles.

Novos vídeos: Tulipa Ruiz, Mallu, Silva e Banda Uó

Tulipa Ruiz
Dez dias antes do lançamento oficial de seu (aguardado) segundo CD, Tulipa Ruiz lança o clipe de "É", faixa que abre Tudo tanto (o novo álbum). Pop romântico filmado em Londres.


Mallu
Ela deixa para trás o sobrenome (Magalhães) e a imagem de menininha para reformular sua carreira. O processo de transformação (ou evolução?) de Mallu tem resultado em bons videoclipes, como neste de "Sambinha bom", que chegou a ser selecionado como o "vídeo do dia" no site de vídeos Vimeo.


Silva
Recentemente contratado pelo selo Slap, da Som Livre, o capixaba Silva é uma das novidades da cena indie brasileira que mais tem chamado atenção. O clipe de "A visita" é uma boa porta de entrada ao seu trabalho, sintetizando estética e sonoridade do artista.


Banda Uó
Prestes a lançar o primeiro CD (pelo selo Deck Disc), a goiana Banda Uó é um fenômeno do meio fashionista/gay nacional. É a inserção do tecnobrega paraense no mundo hipster, carregado de influências da música pop oitentista.
