William Basinski, the man behind the iconic  Disintegration Loops, release Nocturnes on June 25 via his own 2062 label. Nocturnes includes two tracks. The 41-minute title track culls material dating back to the 1970s, featuring “dark, suspended and formal early prepared piano and tape composition.” The second track, “Trail of Tears”, is a 28-minute “tape loop and delay recording from 2009.” Pieces of “Trail of Tears” were featured in Robert Wilson’s opera The Life and Death of Marina Abramovi?. He described the two-track effort: “The title piece is the first piece. It’s really old, and very different, coming from some of my earliest influences. A very triply, weird piece, made with eight or 10 loops, and I scored it with a graphic score. 320 kbps | 157 MB | UL | CL | MC The second piece is newer, and it’s also pretty dark. It’s called “The Trail of Tears.” Part of it was included in the Robert Wilson opera ‘The Life and Death of Marina Abramonivic’. That was a great experience too. It’s a great show. So I should have that finished soon. It’s two pieces; one of them’s 40 minutes, and one of them’s about 20 minutes.”

Beautiful and yet clashing, this is punk at its core with some extremely catchy moments sandwiched between some noise chords. The album starts with a semi-generic punk rock song in Haunted. In fact, when I first started spinning the record, I almost didn’t review the guys. It’s not that the song isn’t good, it just wasn’t particularly unique. However, the band follows it up with No News is Good News, which hooked me immediately. From the unique guitar rhythm and drumming to the awesome vocals, (which remind me of Lower than Atlantis) this song opens up an amazing album. Very moody and consistently moving forward, this album encompasses all that is good about punk music. While there isn’t really any screaming, the singing is angry, and the vocals push right to the edge, like they’re about to break. They never do, and the whole sound comes together. The chunky punk bass and frantic guitar work add a sense of chaos to the whole workings. This is a raw sounding band, with beautiful parts strung together in a chaotic and raw way. My favorite cut on the entire album is the song Tense. It’s driving and the energy stays up for the entire duration of the piece. This is the type of music that translates really well live. On the album, it tends to fall into a category of tedium that usually keeps me from reviewing a band. There is very little in terms of variety here, and the band lacks dynamics. It’s pretty much a one-trick pony. It’s a great trick, and they perform this genre of punk/pop very well. That’s not a damning statement by any means. They are very consistent with their work. With excellent and passionate vocals leading the way, What Resonates is worth a listen if you’re into solid punk in the vein of Lower than Atlantis, Dropkick Murphys, or Bad Religion, with a little twist of Thrice or Thursday. The professor grades this out to a solid B+. --The Professor What Resonates by Louder Than Bombs

The Hurry and the Harm is the fourth release for Dallas Green under the City and Colour moniker, and the first since his split from Alexisonfire. Green first came to prominence as the singer in the singing/screaming post-hardcore act, and his decision to quit and focus on his increasingly popular acoustic solo work precipitated the group’s break-up in 2011. It was an awkward situation made all the more so by the fact that his departure was kept quiet for a year, first from his own bandmates, then from the public. Finally free of splitting himself between two different musical projects, Green set about making a record with a new band in a new town. He re-enlisted “Little Hell” producer Alex Newport (At the Drive-In, Death Cab for Cutie) and went to… 320 kbps | 116 MB | UL | CL | MC ** FLAC …Blackbird Studios in Nashville, where they put together a supporting cast of players including drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam), keyboardist Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket) and bassist Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs), who has stayed on with the touring band. With long-time guitarist Daniel Romano off making his own solo records, Green stepped up to play all the guitar parts for the first time. (“I feel good about that. That helped me build some confidence.”)
