***Our New Quarters is Vancouver-based electro-pop musician Julian Fane's second album for Planet Mu and a follow-up to his widely-acclaimed 2004 release Special Forces. Fane's new pieces are grounded in live percussion, great swaths of strings, indecipherable high-pitched vocals and lush, sweeping synth effects. These elements, along with a strengthened vocal presence, give the music a powerful emotional core. The album wallows deliciously in vast, guitar-laden melancholy, and certain tracks, "The Moon Is Gone," for instance, achieve a pristine beauty almost classical in tone. 30-second MP3 excerpts: Our New Quarters New Faces Youth Cadet The Moon Is Gone Downfall Jonah The Freak Break And Enter Rattle Among The Missing Plastics For A Heart If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: go to iTunes to browse downloads for Julian Fane "Our New Quarters" If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.
