An Evening With: Conor Oberst (Napoleon’s Hat)

An Evening With: Conor Oberst (Napoleon’s Hat)

by outroversion
There's a playlist on my ipod of everything i've acquired that Conor Oberst has recorded. I spent half the day listening to new music but as my girlfriend wouldn't be back until quite late tonight I felt a bit, what I might coin as "Obersty". While listening to one of the slower songs I don't usually pay much attention to, I marvelled in its underappreciated majesty and remembered back in the day when I used to post about Bright Eyes loads and thought it might be nice to do so this evening. Anyway she called and said she was coming right back after the first song so I guess that's that :p
Napoleon's Hat
This is the song that stirred this passion within me. It was released in 2005 for benefit of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The song itself is a masterpiece, couplets of statements and thoughts at the start and end of each verse make this insanely powerful-
The barons of industry put inspiration on Hitler's tongue
The next century crashed hard with a loud sound like a starting gun
So I act like I am rich, try and make it my whole look
Cause poor people don't exist when times are good
Mozart's foster parents put cigarettes out in his ears
When he got old enough to stutter he said I don't listen but I-I-I can hear
It's like wading through a wasteland where a town you love once stood
You just cry each time you think of when times were good
Napoleon's tailor dressed him in a giant hat and funny platform shoes
Saying anyone can be a hero you just got to force people to look up to you
And strive for understanding over being understood
Just don't let yourself forget when the times get good
And inbetween those lines like "When you're talking on a hotline to a suicidal soul, don't let your voice sound like hot coffee; more like a scented pillow". This guy blows my mind every time.

Albums of the year: Lights- Siberia

Albums of the year: Lights- Siberia

by outroversion
I've always felt with Lights you can tell what season it was when the songs were written. Her debut album, The Listening was specked with frostiness in February Air and Ice as well as between albums teaser Boots, entwined with more hopeful sun blessed tracks such as Drive My Soul, The Listening and The Last Thing On Your Mind. With Ontario's mild yet biting winters it is hardly a stretch to consider that sophomore offering "Siberia" is a hat tip to her home province.
The hallmark's of the band's sound was always one of contrasts, light and driving synth interrupted on occasions by crashing bass notes and a sense of timing making even the less searching of songs sound like epics. The rhythm of Siberia is driven by electronic percussion above her musicianship which, while obviously in the foreground is part of the bigger picture here with more intricate arrangements and overlapping.
Everybody Breaks a Glass was the first glimpse of the album at the start of the summer, featuring music and vocals from Holy Fuck and Outroversion's favourite rapper- Shad. His verse flows nicely and fits in well rather than breaking through the crystaline musical scape laid down by Lights who shows wonderful fragility in the face of a huge track. He features once more later on the danciest of all the tracks- Flux and Flow.
Lights has always had an art for displaying the dark and light in every song. Here Heavy Rope is reminscent of the hopelessness and hope of Last Thing... but wonderfully contrasting in pace to Timing is Everything  but with the same amount of heart.
The only criticism I really thought carried any weight of The Listening was that it was a hugely different animal live and that was very true. At times there was a sweetness on the record that wouldn't win everybody over but live it was a shaking and craning leviathan that it was impossible not to be gripped by. This is the hugest difference here as her sound is very much Lights but somehow on Siberia what makes the group brilliant live seems to carry over to the recording and that's as welcome as anything else offered here.
While the Listening was a block of glistening ice which thawed with each listen to reveal a masterpiece, Siberia is already well sculpted and while over time it may prove to be more refined and dazzling it's already a pleasure to witness.
Before I saw Lights live I was in two minds and after I eventually saw them was pretty disappointed I missed the first opportunity, if you get the chance do I haven't seen anyone the past few years who controls a venue quite like she does.

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Police Station
This song is as good as Californication and lyrically- it's better. It only really depends on whether it's released as a single and then the music video whether it gets noticed, being as it is right at the back 0f an album that while a magnificent listen, hasn't really had the same presence that BTW and Cali did. A beautiful song from a beautiful album.
