Sam Endicott will probably never be taken seriously. Not after fronting a band called Skabba the Hut. Not after switching ridiculous dreadlocks for an even more ridiculous faux-hawk. And certainly not after taking a feud with the Killers' Brandon Flowers seriously. It's too bad because Endicott's band the Bravery has made a second album that is worth taking seriously. On The Sun and the Moon, the New York five-piece trades in the faux British accents and Duran Duran synthesizer flares of its self-titled 2005 debut for something a little more real. Bursting to life with sweeping, opulently textured songs like "This Is Not the End" and "Time Won't Let Me Go," it's a warmer and statelier set that seems somehow more dignified. Give or take a few stray lyrics, it could easily pass for the work of a band that has unexpectedly stumbled on credibility. --Aidin Vaziri

4 out of 5 stars This Is Not The End of The Bravery! Hark hark..........2007-08-06

Sam Endicott might not be the most ingenious lyricist of the bunch, but that group of guys certainly can come up with some catchy tunes. Less electronic and more radio friendly than their last album The Sun and The Moon is a great pop/rock record for that any non-snob music fan can enjoy.

The best tracks in my opinion are This Is Not The End, Bad Sun, and Angelina (the last of which is a sure-fire radio hit if it were to be release as a single). I guess what I enjoy the most about 'End' and 'Sun' is their polarizing sounds; the first is dark yet uplifting, and the latter is almost the opposite being happy and upbeat with dark undertones (provided by an unsettling whistling done by the band... it sort of reminds me of if you were to slow down a vinyl record with your finger).

Tragedy Bound is another notable track; opening with a simple acoustic riff it tells the (somewhat melodramatic) tale of a woman so numb from loss and abuse that when "her daddy was killed, feelings were mixed". Fistful of Sand seems to tell the same story from the perspective of her lover as she slips away from him like... well, you can probably figure it out.

Like I said before this album is for the "non-snob" music fan. It may not be the smartest or most revolutionary record, but it certainly is catchy. I very much recommend a purchase of this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Bravely Crafted.......2007-08-04

This is an excellent album, especially for a sophomore effort! It successfully vacillates between rock, pop and psychedelia like nothing I've heard for the past decade. I'm not on this band's jock, but I know good music when I hear it, and The Bravery have crafted a unique aural experience that only gets better with each rotation. The best album I've heard so far this year...

5 out of 5 stars Best Album EVER!.......2007-07-15

3 out of 5 stars A somewhat unsatisfying transformation.......2007-07-11

With The Bravery's debut album being a very admirable part of the regrettably brief new wave resurgence movement in music alongside such similar artists as The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, and Editors, I hoped that their second release would sound fairly similar to their self-titled release, which is one of my all-time favorite albums. I'm all for bands going in new directions, but unfortunately The Bravery seems to have moved in a direction that is more or less a bland alternative style, and comes short of the appeal of their prior upbeat 80's-ish style. Only two or three tracks maintain the style of the self-titled debut, and conveniently they are some of the album's better songs. I liked approximately six tracks including the intro; among them are "Believe", "This Is Not the End", "Tragedy Bound", and "The Ocean". I did not intensely enjoy too many of my favorites on this album however, unlike I have enjoyed past songs "Rites of Spring", "An Honest Mistake", and "Tyrant". Basically the band sounds like a blend of newer Arctic Monkeys with newer Kaiser Chiefs, except with an electronic touch on occasion. Although I am a fan of both those bands, I dislike The Bravery's take on the style used on The Sun and the Moon, and really was fairly unimpressed with the lyrics as well. Still, the album has a fair amount of good melodies on it, and while I didn't enjoy enough of them to justify a purchase, I'd still give this CD three stars since it was if nothing else a mildly decent effort.

Forget for a moment the rumors that suggest the lead singer of this New York five-piece used to play in a ska outfit called, yes, Skabba the Hut. It's a given that a band that so brazenly apes the Strokes' scratchy vocals, Interpol's deep bass grooves and the Killers' shimmering new wave melodies is hardly concerned about being written off as unfashionably fashionable. In two years time the Bravery could very well be making robotic Afro-Cuban funk albums, or whatever other hipster style happens to be troubling the charts at the time, and it would suit them just fine. Right now, the group has the neo-post-punk thing nailed, complete with warm-fuzzy tunes like "An Honest Mistake" and "Unconditional," that, if nothing else, should at least manage lure a few more bodies onto the dance-floor. -- Aidin Vaziri

5 out of 5 stars Awesome-Rebirth of the 80s-great music!.......2007-06-13

I was a 80s child. This CD is great. Every song is awesome. Since the mid 90s, a lot of music on the market has lacked the "wow" factor. This music does have that 80s/New Wave feel to it. Great bass and guitar riffs. Great keyboard. Great drum. I saw these guys playing for an hour special on Directv. Every song was awesome/a live album would be worth it from this band. This album is more techno/more New Orderish than the second. More dance music. I am 36 years old and I find this one of my favorite CDs.

1 out of 5 stars the sh***ery.......2007-06-03

absolute trash. i was tempted to throw it out the window after hearing the lyric "stop, drop, and roll...you're on fire." even if you can get past the HORRENDOUS lyrics, the rest rest of the songs are mediocre at their best. to compare them to the likes of depeche mode, interpol, or the cure would be an insult to those bands. save yourself the disappointment and get yourself the real deal.

This CD is a great addition to anyone's CD library, especially if you're into this particular brand of rock. If you like the Killers, chances are, you'll like the Bravery even more.

4 out of 5 stars Above average Post Punk.......2007-02-20

Ok, we all hate labels, I know, but for the sake of giving you the quick down-and-dirty, I have to say these folks play straight up post-punk, in the same vein as say The Veils, Echo and the Bunnymen, or The Chameleons UK. Unlike another reviewer profiled here, I may be thick as a brick, but I do not hear the Depeche Mode or New Order influence, sorry. Instead, I would describe this band as warmly poppy without the sugar-syrup trappings, musically great guitar hooks and complete with the requisite angst-ridden lyrics. Sure, they're introspectively gloomy, but they manage to side-step the bleakness of the aforementioned synth pop greats (New Order). Finally, of all The Bravery releases, this is their best LP, and you should get it, if only to snag the masterpiece "An Honest Mistake," which should by all means go down as a classic. Overall, this is a great record.

5 out of 5 stars "Sit back...and we'll pour you a drink!".......2007-05-07

Welcome, tired and weary shopper, to the innermost sanctoms of rock and roll. Put your feet up, and let Anton and his wandering retinue of minstrels delight your senses with the greatest rock and roll album made in the lat 20 years. The Morning After Girls, The High Dials, and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are the titans of today's rock movement. But even these elite few worship at the feet of this venerable sage. There can be no comparison, ye, for this is art of the highest caliber!

5 out of 5 stars this is the best BJM record.......2006-09-19

All of BJM's records are excellent but this one is my favorite. The songs are memorable, dreamy, evocative. The mood is a bit somber, and the production appropriately moody. This one tends to favor acoustics a bit over electrics, and has a less hard-rocking sounds than Give it Back or some of the others, but each song is a gem. There is no filler, there are no mediocre tunes.

5 out of 5 stars Mutton Chops Forever.......2006-07-01

This album could possibly be one of the best pieces of contempory art in the United States. Listening to the music conjures images of Jack Kerouac, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and the Velvet Undergound, yet the music is strikingly original. Mutton chops forever.

5 out of 5 stars Cool as God.......2006-06-04

This band doesn't ride the waves of the many pathetic and short-lived musical fads that have dominated the last 15 years of mainstream music. And it is this rejection of the increasingly parasitic mainstream musical culture that will leave this band's music strong and unwavering against the relentless wind of time and change. Forget your fast food, quick fix band's like `Jet'; this is the Brian Jonestown Massacre! Bravery, Repetition and Noise contains some of the bands strongest work. Some of these songs you simply cannot explain in words. It is not derivative in any sense...it is an absolutely original take on modern music. Nevertheless is a near pefect song, as are many on this album. Telegram is another highlight...but the listener must listen and experience this album. It is more than a collection of songs. It is a body of beautiful sound and must be experienced in the same way that an informed listener may experience something like 'Abbey Road' or 'Magical Mystery Tour', except this is better.

5 out of 5 stars very good.......2006-05-16

This album is amazing. I hadn't heard of this group until recently, so I bought this along with DIG! Most of the songs are really catchy; for example, just for today, telegram, open heart, nevertheless, sailor, you have been disconnected, & leave nothing for sancho. They're all fantastic.

4 out of 5 stars Uncomplicated but entertaining from start to end.......2007-06-05

New York-based The Bravery sort of stormed onto the music scene in 2005 with their self-titled debut album, which contained one of the great singles of that year, "An Honest Mistake". After tireless touring, now finally comes the band's follow-up album.

On "The Sun and the Moon" (12 tracks; 40 min.), the Bravery does not falter far from the sound that made their debut album a success. The opener "Intro/Believe" brings a strong reggae undertone. First single "Time Won't Let Me Go" is a compelling ballad, Bravery-style. The songs generally flow well from one into another, and there are very few weak moments on te album. Other favorite tracks for me include "This Is Not the End", "Split Me Wide Open" (inviting an obvious comparison to the Cure), and "Above and Below", another one of those uptempo reggae-flavored songs. The only strike-out on the album is the pensive "Tragedy Bound", which misfires and simply is misplaced on this set.

This limited edition comes with a second CD (2 tracks, 6 min.). "Rat in the Walls" is a highly charged anthem that would've fitted nicely on the proper album. "Faces" is nice, but non-essential. Overall, while this certainly is not art with a capital "A", I have nevertheless found myself playing this album over and over again. This is uncomplicated but very entertaining from beginning to end.

As a last comment, am I the only one to notice how eerily similar this album compares to and sounds like the latest Kaiser Chiefs' album "Yours Truly, Angry Mob"? Listen to these 2 albums back-to-back and you'll see what I mean. That aside, the Bravery is coming to Cincinnati next month, and I can't wait to see how they sound live.

    Album Description

    The idealistic appeal of "fighting the good fight" against the fascist troops of General Francisco Franco as he warred against Spain's democratically elected government drew more than 45,000 volunteer soldiers from over 50 countries during the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). This influx created a canon of war-related songs sung by the freedom fighters and revived during the American folk boom of the Fifties.

    SPAIN IN MY HEART presents new recordings of vintage and recent songs inspired by the conflict and performed by an international roster of musicians. The United States is represented by folk's activist icon, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, master instrumentalist/vocalist John McCutcheon, bluegrass singer/fiddler Laurie Lewis, East L.A.'s Quetzal, multicultural singer/songwriter/actress Michele Greene, and Joel and Jamaica Rafael of the Joel Rafael Band. From Mexico and Nicaragua come vocalist Lila Downs and Duo Guardabarranco, respectively. The Irish volunteers are solo artist Aoife Clancy, formerly of Cherish the Ladies, and Shay Black of The Black Family. Spain itself is represented by two of its leading contemporary singers, Eliseo Parra and Uxía.

    The songs here, acoustic-based and many in Spanish, form a surprisingly delicate mosaic. Rather than emulating the strident chaos of battle, the CD conveys more subtle aspects of the conflict - yearning for simpler times ("Asturias," "En La Plaza De Mi Pueblo"); longing for distant loved ones ("The Bantry Girls' Lament"); the equal significance of life, love and death ("Llegó Con Tres Heridas"). The war and the bravery of the anti-fascist forces are addressed in such songs as "Jarama Valley," "El Quinto Regimiento," "Taste of Ashes," and "The Abraham Lincoln Brigade."

    No matter in what language the songs are performed, the bravery, pain and loss felt by soldiers and civilians alike are rendered with a conviction and feeling that transcends words and forges an aching link with the listener.

    3 out of 5 stars La música bien, la letra no tanto.......2005-05-03

    Como hijo de exiliado español agradezco con el corazón que la música de la Guerra Civil Española siga viva dentro del canto del siglo XXI. Musicalmente me parece un trabajo muy completo, con conocimiento y aventura musicales, sin embargo, en lo que se refiere a las letras (lyrics) encuentro el punto débil del CD. Por lo que he podido investigar los textos utilizados son los llegados a los Estados Unidos, pero no los que se cantaban en España y, en ocasiones, la continuidad de las letras es inconexa.

    Pongo un ejemplo: Joel & Jamaica Rafael cantan: 'Los cuatro generales, mamita mía, que se han alzado' y en seguida: 'Madrid que bien resistes, mamita mía, los bombardeos'. Esto, en el idioma español no tiene sentido. La letra original dice: 'Los cuatro generales, mamita mía, que se han alzado, para las navidades serán colgados' y la segunda parte: 'Madrid que bien resistes, mamita, los bombardeos, de las bombas se ríen, mamita mía, los madrileños' y de esta forma adquieren sentido pues a los cuatro generales alzados les espera la horca, mientras los madrileños resisten los bombardeos de las tropas franquistas.

    Uxía, siendo española, llama 'Marineros' a la canción cuyo título original es 'Que será' y que viene de la canción infantil 'Arrión' y que ironiza sobre el hundimiento del crucero 'Baleares' por la Flota Republicana en la batalla del Cabo de Palos y Uxía no utiliza la letra que dice: 'Y han de ver, y lo van a ver como al 'Baleares', al 'Cervera' y 'Canarias' bajo los mares' lo que le daría el contexto del momento en que la canción surgió.

    En fin hay muchas otras observaciones del mismo tipo.

    En resumen, me parece que no se hizo una investigación profunda para encontrar las letras completas y correctas de todas estas canciones tan entrañables para todos los que descendemos de la República Española y eso demerita el trabajo del disco en su conjunto. Pareciera que es un disco para venta interna dentro de los Estados Unidos y a mi me hubiera gustado más que fuera para venta universal.

    Recomiendo el CD de Oscar Chávez 'España 1936-1939-1975' editado durante 1999 en México por Discos Pentagrama, donde el trabajo curatorial de las letras y la música es sobresaliente.

    Rodrigo de Oyarzabal, Ciudad de México.

    5 out of 5 stars Keeps Alive the Spirit of Justice and Freedom.......2004-08-06

    As the son of a British International Brigade veteran and a Spanish Republican refugee,I grew up with the pain of betrayal, defeat, and exile. Songs helped to sustain us during the long dark years of Franco's dictatorship. This record captures the emotion, joy, and beauty of many of those songs, as well as some new ones, and keeps alive the spirit which took thousands of volunteers from around the world to fight for justice and freedom in Spain.

    I heard this playing in a local independent record shop and immediately became transfixed by its mesmerizing sound. Everyone in the shop was grooving to these most excellent tunes. I bought it right away and was not disappointed. The production is marvelous, evoking that vacuum-packed wall-of-sound Phil Specter perfected in the 60's. Although it sounds retro, this music is far more interesting to me than what bands like the Apples in Stereo are currently doing. It sports some of the best use of organ that I've heard in a long while. This music is addictive. Enjoyed it so much I picked up "Strung Out in Heaven" which is also excellent - though a bit more stripped down in sound and without the multi-tracked, echoey vocals. If you enjoy The Dandy Warhols and itch for something a bit more raw and unpolished, I recommend this. I'm kicking myself, because I just moved from San Francisco and recall that this band often play there.

    5 out of 5 stars if you love The Killers and their new wave influences.......2005-08-02

    get the Bravery's full length CD AND pick this single up for the non-album track "No Brakes." The hit single is their ode to New Order, and No Brakes has an awesome new wave feel with a Cure/Robert Smith feel. Not to be missed if your into this retro/modern sound.

      5 out of 5 stars The Best Non-Christmas Christmas Album.......2005-12-17

      None of this is actual Christmas music, but, besides its other virtues and interest for what it *is*, it all *sounds* like Christmas music. In that way Midnight Sun fills Eno's definition of ambient music: it is rewarding both close up and in the background. And of course the background is where everyone plays Christmas music.

      Play the first clip to the end, up to the point where it breaks into a sort of Delta blues. (I had to save the RealAudio file to disk, rename it to something.ram and start it manually.)

      5 out of 5 stars Northernness!.......2002-04-03

      Listening to this wonderful music from Ensemble Polaris, I cannot help but think that C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien would have loved it. This is "Northernness" personified in music. This is musical greatness. I hope that Ensemble Polaris makes more music, and soon. If nothing else, this disc deserves to be heard by as many people as possible.

      5 out of 5 stars I dare you not to love this music.......2000-12-22

      The Grand Poobah of Ragamuffins, Brennan Manning, reminds us to "think big about God." So why not think big about music? After all, God has created music.

      Still, as I engaged in that perpetual ritualistic struggle familiar to all music fans (trying to peel off the plastic wrapping), I thought to myself: "Traditional Nordic Melodies??? I know Dorian's a great label...but TRADITIONAL NORDIC MELODIES???"

      Then I placed it in my CD player and pushed play...

      Take my advice friends--this is a GREAT recording! Dorian has done it again. I dare you not to love this music. From the very first song, "Mandom, mod och morska man," I knew this would be one of my all time favorite recordings. It is.

      This music is inventive. This music is full of passion. This music made me like the clarinet...an instrument that I've despised since my days in middle school.

      Each song is a mini-masterpiece. My three favorite songs are probably the first and last tracks as well as "Halb Sirp"--a song about a woman who is frustrated with trying to harvest with a poorly made sickle. Sarah Granskou's vocals make the song outstanding. The instrumental playing is top rate throughout the whole disc.

      I urge you to get a copy of "Midnight Sun: Traditional Nordic Melodies" today. It is outstanding.

      5 out of 5 stars Perfect blend of folk and early music.......2000-07-12

      Midnight Sun by Ens. Polaris is one of the best discs that I have heard in a long time. The tunes are from the Scandinavian countries and Estonia, Scotland, and Canada. But the sound is very unique--a blend of many early and world music traditions. The wonder of the disc is that each song receives a unique treatment and arrangement that an ensemble of various instruments (from jews harp, hurdy-gurdy, and clarinet to you name it!) can create--each arrangement seems so perfectly matched to nuances of each song. The result is incredible variety in all respects and a collection of sounds that is strongly rhythmic or gorgeously melodic-- predominantly an early instrumental music sound, but with various influences of celtic, klezmer, middle eastern and blues! Plus there are six haunting vocals by two guest female vocalists. I'm hoping for more great stuff from this group.
