| Return of the Long Album Sam Machkovech Apr 8 2010, 11:15 AM ET Tweet More Email Print Among the recent records coming and going through my stereo, three from the past month have captured my heart and taken root. That's an intentional choice of word " root" because these three albums are like trees—weird, winding, towering trees, as peculiar as they are permanent.The records in question: Have One On Me, the triple-LP release from Nevada City singer and harp aficionado Joanna Newsom; Tomorrow, In A Year,http://fitflopsoutlet.jimdo.com/, the electro-opera by experimental Swedish duo The Knife; and The Golem, a two-disc silent film score by the Pixies' Black Francis. Combined, they clock in at five hours, and they sometimes feel longer. Yet I keep making time for them.They aren't the first lengthy, demanding albums in recorded history. As a complete trio, though, their dissimilarities melt away to make a statement about the concept of the modern album.The music industry can't stop talking about revolutions here and downloads there; viral |
