The title of this album can be understood in different ways and lends itself to wordplay. Entertainment comes first, according to the literal translation of the Spanish diversión. And indeed, the works are at least partly intended to be light-hearted and relaxed. Nevertheless, the lightness of the French composer Olivier Penard’s music is almost illusory or merely a detour, because behind a diverse language there is music of serious, sometimes tragic expressivity, carried by an intense dramaturgy. As in the “Concert Argentin” with tango, jazz and milonga, but with the tragic life of Eva Perón at its center.

Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra (* December 12, 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey; † May 14, 1998 in Los Angeles, California) was an American singer, actor and entertainer. His surnames were Ol’ Blue Eyes and, because of his characteristic voice, The Voice. Sinatra has long been considered the most influential artist in Las Vegas and was therefore called Chairman of the Board (Chairman of the board) among his colleagues half jokingly, but just as respectfully. He began his musical career in the swing era as a singer in the orchestras of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey. With fellow artists such as Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. he was a member of the so-called Rat Pack. His internationally successful hits, including Strangers in the Night, My Way and New York, New York, brought Sinatra worldwide fame; his albums have sold more than 150 million copies.

Legacy Recordings will release the latest of the CAKE reissues, Pressure Chief, on vinyl. Celebrating it’s 20th anniversary this year, the album had key tracks like “Wheels” and the ever popular “No Phone.” Outside of being included in a limited-edition Record Store Day box set this album has never been available on vinyl as a standalone item. Pressure Chief is the fifth studio album by alternative rock band CAKE. Released in 2004, this album showcases the band’s unique fusion of different musical styles including country, pop, and rock. With track highlights like “Wheels” and “No Phone,” CAKE further solidifies their presence in the music industry through their creativity and storytelling.
At no point is there any sign of a dip in Cake’s music. With ‘Pressure Chief’, again provided with the artwork of their front-man John McCrea, Cake proves to be slightly departing from the slowly evolving sound that they had developed over the past decade. Most notably are the significantly increased amount of synthesizer and keyboard invading their melodies and along with McCrea’s unique vocal timbre it had become the foundations of the bands ‘sound’. There is not a single song on this album that isn’t entertaining and moving. There’s additional electric guitar playing by Green On Red desert rocker Chuck Prophet on ‘She’ll Hang The Baskets’.

Daniel Boeckner understands the grit and gravel that accumulates in the heart and that it takes an unwavering courage to crack through that clutter and burrow to the other side.

Throughout his work with Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits, Operators, Atlas Strategic, and more, the iconic Canadian indie rocker recognizes that few feelings are more gratifying than hope. But it takes getting the hell out of your own way. Boeckner’s solo debut, Boeckner!, is the culmination of his deep library of musical reference. Produced by Randall Dunn (SunnO))), The Cave Singers, Earth) with help from drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple), Boeckner! Is filled with lively, catchy rock that calls to mind The Cars, David Bowie.
