Last Tuesday, Adventure Club, a Canadian electronic dance music duo, stopped at The National in Richmond on its nationwide Superheroes Anonymous tour.
“Life in space is impossible.” These words appear on-screen at the start of “Gravity,” the latest effort from A-list director Alfonso Cuarón (“Children of Men”, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”) This simple sentence sets the tone for the rest of the film, which offers one of the best cinematic thrill rides you’re likely to see this or any year.
Believe it or not, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been around for a decade now. While most bands would have faded into obscurity since then, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs prove that they are more than capable of producing fresh, new music with the release of their new album, Mosquito, last Tuesday.
While most bands tend to produce music that declines in quality after the second or third album, last week’s release of OneRepublic’s new album, Native, proves that the band is still as strong and creative as ever.
While Justin Timberlake was busy pursuing a career in acting, I was busy wondering whether he’d ever come out with a new album. After a long, seven-year hiatus, he finally released The 20/20 Experience and I’m not disappointed.
In the four years between Local Natives’ debut album Gorilla Manor and 2013’s Hummingbird, the band noticeably underwent a lot of growth, both musically and emotionally.
I sometimes find it astounding that a few short minutes of deliberately placed melodic notes and well-chosen words can so easily capture emotions universal to mankind.
