The Black Keys’ fifth full-length LP, Attack & Release, follows their 2006 critically acclaimed Nonesuch debut Magic Potion, which the Chicago Tribune proclaimed, “a gritty, wild, minimalist masterpiece.” Produced by Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, The Gorillaz, The Grey Album), Attack & Release was recorded at engineer Paul Hamann’s illustrious Suma Studio outside Cleveland, Ohio. Initial collaboration began when Danger Mouse (a. k.a. Brian Burton) approached the band to write songs for an album he was developing with the late R&B legend Ike Turner. As the band began composing tracks for Turner early last year, though, they quickly realized they were actually laying the groundwork for a new album of their own.

It’s hard to imagine today but Atlanta used to very much be a musical backwater. Before the early ’90s—when the city became the epicenter of American R&B and hip-hop thanks to the work done by L.A. Reid, Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, and many others—Atlanta was pretty much just a huge Southern city more known as a requisite tour stop (it’s where the Sex Pistols kicked off their U.S. tour!) than for its homegrown talent. There had always been a vibrant music scene, but despite its creative breadth, it was mostly appreciated at the local level. Occasionally, artists would break through, but the idea of an “Atlanta scene” was laughable, a situation made even more embarrassing by the fact that tiny Athens—just an hour north —boasted a far more critically appreciated stable of bands. So when, in 1990, a band called the Black Crowes began dominating rock radio with their debut album, even some Atlanta music fans were surprised to discover that this was, in fact, a local act.

Spooky sounds and ghostly wailings are usually what come to mind when people imagine the sound of the theremin. With “Air Électrique”, Thorwald Jorgensen and Kamilla Bystrova go beyond the novelty of the theremin and let the music speak for itself.

With the premier recording of Lera Auerbach’s 10 Preludes for theremin and piano, the standard of the album is set. This compositional tour-de-force presents colourful melodic music which exploits the unique characteristics of both the theremin and the piano. The angular modernism of Lydia Kavina’s Suite for theremin and piano and Olesya Rostovskaya’s haunting Juliet show more of the theremin’s unrivalled sonic possibilities, clearly illustrating what is possible with this combination of instruments.

The album also presents two chamber music pieces. The first is the world premiere of Joseph Schillinger’s Bury, Bury me Wind, in which Thorwald and Kamilla are joined by mezzo soprano, Itzel Medecigo. The other is the spectacular Fantasy for theremin, xylophone and piano by Valery Beluntsov, in which Thorwald plays not only the theremin but also the virtuosic xylophone part.

Thorsteinn Einarsson is an Icelandic singer based in Vienna, Austria. His second studio album, INGI. “1;” (one continued) is followed by “IngI” – actually “Ingi”, but the big i at the end forms the Roman numeral 2 in combination with the initial i. Understood? No? No matter, because much more important are anyway the very personal texts in which Thorsteinn Ingi (aha!) Einarsson leads us through his melancholy to euphoric Pop-feeling worlds with his unmistakable voice.
