zero Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Is that what I'm listening to - the new Julie Doiron. I don't even know the title it was sent to me and I listen to it a lot but really don't know a thing about it. I know it's with Eric's Trip.

AD Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Is that what I'm listening to - the new Julie Doiron. I don't even know the title it was sent to me and I listen to it a lot but really don't know a thing about it. I know it's with Eric's Trip. Title is Woke Myself Up.Guide Rating - rating: 4 starsThe Bottom LineCanadian singer-songwriter Julie Doiron's first album in two years is an interesting take on the oft-attempted guitar/vocalist solo work (and not only because she shares many tracks with her old band Eric's Trip). The songs on Woke Myself Up are often introspective and at many points very affecting in this way -- but Doiron also isn't afraid to add quirkier sounds and surprising elements to her personally tinged tunes (like jangly choruses and dark, ephemeral verses, for instance). And all of it is to great effect. For fans of indie singer-songwriters who want a little more than just a singer who writes songs.Pros * "No More" * "I Woke Myself Up" * "Dark Horse" * "Me And My Friend"Cons * "Don't Wannabe/Liked By You"Description * Julie Doiron has been a performing musician in Canada since she was 18. * According to her website, this is her 10th recorded release. * She also plays in the band Shotgun & Jaybird. * In 2000, Doiron received a Juno Award for her album Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars.Guide Review - Album Review: Julie Doiron "Woke Myself Up"In the title track, "I Woke Myself Up," Doiron sings what is essentially a duet with herself -- and it's quite charming. The interplay between the chorus lines "maybe this coffee is not such a good idea" and the chirpy back-and-forth between her low voice and her high gives the song a delightful energy often missing on solo albums.The other songs with the backing band are the also among the album's strongest. Doiron's voice, which has a soft, wavering quality to it, feels more assured and more powerful with a kick drum underneath it. In addition, the low, grumbling bass that Rick White adds to many of the tracks -- like the second, "You Look So Alive" -- helps guide the otherwise wandering tunes.The album's strongest track, "No More," manages to have the mood of a Portishead number with the energy of a less eccentric Björk track. Best of all, it manages to combine all Doiron's strongest musical qualities (her inventiveness and the spryness of her voice) with the albums most compelling melodies. "No More" takes this otherwise solid album and gives it a classic, classy push.This is a substantial release and definitely worth checking out.Also important to the recording of this album was a reunion of sorts with her musical family. Founding Eric's Trip bandmate Rick White produced and played on the entire album, and a handful of the songs contain the entire original Eric's Trip band nucleus that took the Canadian indie underground by storm 15 years ago. Working with an old friend and collaborator like White was key to this album's intensely vulnerable and emotionally raw tone. What's captured is timeless and universal, in the same way as Cat Power's Moon Pix, Leonard Cohen's Songs of Love And Hate, and Joni Mitchell's Blue.

dave-O Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm looking forward to Ryan Adams releasing an album or six in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'm loving seeing The Stooges getting a new album out this coming year: The Weirdness. The Ashton brothers and Iggy, plus Mike Watt filling in on bass. Even original sax player Steve MacKay is on board. Steve Albini was the producer.
