Music I've been listening to

Other than tori, I've discovered a few bands that I'm really getting into these days.


First of all, Explosions in the Sky are simply awesome. Think of them as a blend of Sigur Ros and GodSpeed you black emperor. Their latest album moves me very much and I would definetly recommend it.

Other artists on my ipod this week are montreal's Besnard Lakes. they're the montreal indie rock version of the beach boys. haha Seriously...

That's it for now.
Back for more soon.

Our First Review

We were featured in Montreal's HOUR magazine, with a positive review.

Here is a transcript :

2805
Dave Jaffer

Like many young bands, Intensive Care occasionally err by imitating their influences (Muse most specifically). Ignore this minor crime - and you should - and you'll find an interesting local band that blends the barbed, dirty, unfriendly elbows of rock with calmer tenets of jazz. Sometimes it flat-out doesn't work, but oftentimes it does. Clearly, there's a lot of talent here, revealed most specifically in the rockier moments of Distorted Love Song and Stray. If I'm right in assuming an EP's job is to build up interest in the LP, then consider 2805 a success.

Tori

I can't resist. I have to write about this.
I just got the new Tori Amos Album, and surprise-surprise : I love it !
Being a huge fan, I felt a bit let down with the last album where she went all sugar-coaty-i'm-a-mother-now-so i'm going to sing about the mother earth and the bees and mary magdalene- and sing mellow songs- bullshit.
Now she's back with a collection of songs that shatter bounderies of genre. Songs go from heavy glam-rock to easter european jingles, passing by midnight nightclub anthems or acoustic ballads. And the genius is that it all flows like crazy.

My favorites : Teenage Hustling, Code Red, Smokey Joe, Girl Dissapearing, Big Wheel
