Thom York - The Eraser
Maybe his name will not be known for some of you, but if I tell you Radiohead ? Better huh ? Thom York is the main singer / songwriter of the band. So now, he's releasing a solo album ! He works on this since some years now & will release it next July :) The main thing about this album is that it's not really Radiohead...
Of course the voice of Thom reminds you A LOT the band's sound, but it's more electroloungyslowdown&relax songs... It more like a mix of : Radiohead/Sigur Ros/The Postal Service... Of course, I can hear you now... "SEEMS GREAT !" But, the thing is that it's not that awesome as it could be. I mean, only 9 tracks, and of cool the songs are great but, I don't know, there's missing something ! For example, I've got an idea for you Thom, this album remixed by Goldfrapp with their awesome & genuis sounds !! That will be a real jewel ! But no... I know, sometimes it can be great to go away in another world with music... & forget everything... This album is great for this ! Of course. Surely, the greatest song to do it is the last one : "Cymbal Rush".
Anyway, I choosed (only) 3 tracks (because of the small tracklist) that I really love. Have a nice journey !
