the argument - everything depends
a few words by osenboz:
long long time ago since the last entry...
i'm sorry for that, but i changed my flat, and university
started, and so i got alot of other things to do the last days
..and because i don't want to add music without listening to it
carefully, it took me a while till i found enough free time
in wich i can listen to the music in the way i like to.
(on the couch with a cup of tea or something like that...)
ok, but now enough of those boring general information...
let's talk about music!
a few month ago (15. june) the swedish band "the argument"
released their 2nd album "everything depends".
the cd comes up with 7 quite great piano & guitar based
indie/pop/rock songs.
when you look at the song-titles you might expect a depressive
and unhappy release. but that's wrong!
"nothing remains", "fallen leaves", "goodbye", "yet there is hope"
and all the other songs got an intense ability to wipe away the
sadness that came up along the day.
actually i always find myself, turning the volume louder and
louder, the longer i listen to "the argument"
and if i'm not careful, i'll don't get the songs out of my mind
the whole day.
unfortunately the pleasure takes just 25 minutes, but the album
shows a huge potential for more!
so let's see what comes next...

sync filmico - el mar
a few words by osenboz:
it's always a bit harder for a indie-rock band to
enthuse it's listeners if they don't understand their lyrics.
"sync filmico" is one of those bands for me...
but, they managed this challenge amazingly perfect!
if you don't understand them, the enjoyable voice of
"santiago candegabe", the vocalist of "sync filmico" acts like
an instrument. combined with the music from "Matias Villamil",
"Nicolas Said", "Luciano Gomez" and "Juan Serruya" you get a great
background-soundscape for your own emotions.
for example if you take the track "confusion".
the title is understandable. it's like a thought-provoking impulse,
but because of not-understanding the rest of the lyrics, you need to
"write" your own story according to the title.
you can easily interpret your own feelings, your own thoughts into
the song. "santiago cadegabes" voice doesn't capture your mind.
while listening to the track you don't get interrupted in thinking.
your mind stays free, but the song don't act like inconspicuous
background musik, it interacts with your thinking and accompany
with it, helping you to lead your thoughts into positivity.
this release showed me once again that music got no borders.
in this case you'll probably get some different impressions if
you understand spanish, but not understanding the language doesn't
keep you away from being impressed.
enjoy !

pinkle - invertible
a few words by osenboz:
in the daytime he is busy working on his post-doc at the
institute of technology in switzerland...
and at night he huddles under the pseudonym "pinkle", takes out some
guitars, keyboards, banjos, pianos, harmonicas, bells, flutes,
et cetera, et cetera… and of course his voice and starts to make
beautiful music.
we're talking about bryn martin, ex member of the alternative-rock
band "ophur". as solo-project he's something like a music-factory.
since 2004 "pinkle" produced nearly 200 songs, all available for
free download on his homepage.
the latest release "invertible" is just a selection of his personal
favourite tracks from last year!
on the album you'll find 12 varied cheerful indie-pop tracks,
perfectly suited for lazy evenings.
if you listened through the album and you still got a bit of
free-time left... don't forget to have a look at the
11-hour-pinkle-music-libary!
...and for all those who haven't got the time to listen to
all the tracks:
bryn announced 2 further best-of's from his "early-years"
within the next few months...
