 | Fantastic prices with ease & comfort of Amazon.com! (In-Stock) A they, not a he, consisting of young friends D.A. Wallach and Max Drummey, CHESTER FRENCH seeks to prove that pop music can be at once challenging and accessible. And with the bracing, involving and always-surprising set of pop-art songs on their debut album Love the Future, the duo has made a bold statement that's as delightful as it is ambitious, an album informed by a great wealth of music that is poised to break barriers and set new standards. Chester French's world is a musical universe in which everything's in play. The glorious "She Loves Everybody" mixes sensibilities equally drawing on Motown and power-pop. "Beneath the Veil" throws country twists into hip-hop aesthetics. "Neal" has echoes of swing, hip-hop and rock - with a guitar break paying tribute to the genius and magic fingers of Les Paul. And "Fingers" is just your basic orchestral-pop with, you know, a lap steel solo. There's a curtain-raising "Introduction, " and a couple transition pieces ("The String Interlude" and "Country Interlude") to help tie it all together and stress that this is, overall, far more than just a collection of songs, but a whole statement. "We were trying to make the album an album, " Drummey says. "What we tried to do is make something musically diverse but also unified. And we did the best job of that ever in the history of music." Don't just take it from him. The band has already been lauded by the press with features such as Spin's Who's Next `08 and Rolling Stone's Artists To Watch. And take it from no less than Pharrell Williams, who signed the unclassifiable duo to his Star Trak/Interscope label after an early copy of the album, recorded by the two largely in a dorm basement studio while they were students at Harvard, was passed from them to his engineer, Drew Coleman. "It's been a long time since I've heard a project teeming with this sort of musicality and originality, " says Williams, the phenomenal artist/producer/trailblazer of Neptunes, N.E.R.D. and so-much-else fame. "You're going to watch history unfold with these guys. I feel it in my gut." That works for Wallach and Drummey, who trace an aesthetic lineage from Beethoven to Brian Wilson, from Les Paul to Prince to, well, Pharrell Williams. They see walls coming down with a new generation inspired by innovative artists like Gnarls Barkley and OutKast. | | SEE IT |

 | Fantastic prices with ease & comfort of Amazon.com! (In-Stock) Available for the first time on 180-gram LP!!!Emilie Simon has given new life to French pop and electro. One of the most successful artists of past years, she ranks with the likes of Daft Punk and Air, and is one of the most eloquent windows to contemporary French music. She is often called the French Björk. Her manipulation of English and French, her gift for finding the perfect musical articulation and resonance, the millions of precise musical details that become clearer and more remarkable each time your hear them, and her blend of electronic beats with subtle live orchestrations make Simon a unique artist, gifted with a beautiful and distinct voice. Added to all of this is high-quality mixing by genius Markus Dravs, who has worked with Brian Eno and Björk, among others.In addition to her amazing studio albums, Emilie Simon also composed the French soundtrack to the worldwide smash hit March of the Penguins, which gave her huge commercial success and crowned her as the master of electro-pop. She is a multi-award winning artist in France: Best Electronic Album of the Year for her debut album and Best Original Film/Television Soundtrack of the Year for March of the Penguins.As her American fan base is rapidly growing, Milan Records is proud to release Simon s first US album, The Flower Book, on 180-gram LP. The core of the album consists of the best songs from her two French studio albums, which are still unavailable to this day in the US, and also includes one of her tracks from March of the Penguins. The Flower Book includes mystifying songs based on otherworldly themes. Each song is a story of its own with its own atmosphere, distinct from the previous one...from the ethereal My Old Friend, to the lively up-tempo Fleur De Saison and Dame De Lotus, to the more intimate Le Vieil Amant. | | SEE IT |
