Rooney - Calling The World
Calling the World is the second studio album by Rooney. With three years of recording, about 50 songs in total and John Fields producing (!), the album was finally released in 2007.
Robert Schwartzman (lead vocals, guitar), Taylor Locke (lead guitar, backing vocals), Ned Brower (drums, backing vocals), Matthew Winter (bass guitar) and Louie Stephens (keyboards, piano) present nothing less than their best record to date (in my humble opinion).
You can easily discover many influences, like Queen or E.L.O. - and Powerpop all over the record.
To sum it up: It's so good, it's in heavy rotation since weeks at my turntable. You might experience the same...
P.S.: Though there was a new Rooney record out in 2016 ("Washed Away"), it's sadly not the same level as "Calling The World". With "Washed Away" the only remaining member of the band is Robert Schwartzman.
Jon Brion - Meaningless
Jon Brion released his first - and last - solo album "Meaningless" in 2001. Initially to be released on Lava Records, the album was finally sold independently by Brion on his own "Straight to Cut-Out" label through his website & CD Baby.
The lyrics (e.g. "Ruin My Day" and "I Believe She's Lying") and the brilliance of the songs themselves are stunning. "Trouble" and "Walking Through Walls" are pop music at its best. This is a joy to listen to and I highly recommend it.
Tracklist:
1. Gotta Start Somewhere
2. I Believe She's Lying
3. Meaningless
4. Ruin My Day
5. Walking Through Walls
6. Trouble
7. Hook, Line, And Sinker
8. Dead To The World
9. Her Ghost
10. The Same Mistakes
11. Voices
Because this album was ridiculously overlooked, there is no preview on amazon as usual, but just listen (and as I suggest buy!) it on amazon.com.
