Record of the Week: Sore Eros ‘Second Chants’



Another contender for the title of Record of Year. 2009 is promising to be a nice year for music after a rather dull 2008. After Telepathe and The Phantom Band, this week brings the debut album from Sore Eros from ‘a field’ somewhere in Connecticut. This record is a bit hazy but very lush and grows and grows on you after each listening session. Robert Robinson, the main player in this project has previously been working with Ariel Pink and Gary War in a musical spectrum that was ignored until the issue of the new Animal Collective album that everyone is raving about this year. The sound is somewhere up there in between the latter, Panda Bear (a childhood friend), Mount Eerie or Woods. It is out on the current label to watch shdwply and is dead limited to 500 vinyl copies as any of their releases. Grab a copy while you can at the ever wonderful Piccadilly Records and listen to some snippets and watch some videos at their MySpace page. And for once you can download the digital version here since I understand that shdwply believe sharing downloads can bring people to purchase the physical format. The future of music is now so spread the word and purchase the vinyl!
