selected + collected: emusic compilation featuring rademacher

i told you that post last night would be my last one about rademacher...until the next. well, here's the next.



rademacher has made it on to a emusic collection of bands that will own 2009. hellz yeah they will. it's called selected + collected: an emusic selects compilation.

here's some of the emusic review:
Editor's Note: We have put together an amazing (if we may say so) set of liner notes that you can download from 17 Dots for free. It includes great artist art, Q&A's with everyone involved and a whole lot more. It's slick, and our thanks go to Jess Larrabee for making the beautiful cover and Dave Scott for designing the liner notes. We are indebted to you both. We also want to note that while it's not ideal that this album be bundled together like this, it's extremely important to us that everyone here get a fair shake, and that this be consumed as a whole. After you listen, we hope you'll agree.

On the one-year anniversary of eMusic Selects' creation, we are thrilled to unveil Selected + Collected, a 16-track tour of what excites us the most about music right now. The vast majority of these artists are completely unsigned, but they are not toiling away in obscurity. Far from it. These artists are making incredible music, and there are audiences out there waiting to hear it. Isn't that what it's all about?


and a little more review specifically about rademacher
That piano. It comes charging out of the gate, a bold and pounding statement of intent. Fresno, CA's Rademacher are not one for the small gesture, and "If U Got Some Magic" is proud and purposeful. It pushes without detonating, getting grander with each go-round. "Some questions are tough/ Some don't got answers at all," Malcolm Sosa sings halfway through the song. Maybe so, but that doesn't mean they're not going to look.

anway, i've blogged about how emusic was a great way to get new music, especially stuff that is outside the mainstream mess. this is further proof of it.

btw, the compilation also features another band that i'm really digging right now, called she keeps bees.
