Ian Brown Stellifies

Ian Brown continues to release stunning music that moves as far from his former band The Stone Roses as possible. "Stellify" lives up to his more recent release, Solarize, with it's feel feel and chipper mood. The track is dominated by nothing but a clunky piano loop, drums and some horns thrown in for good measure. As minimal as the music is, it fits Brown and his studio magic aided voice. It's as pleasing to my ears as it is to my heart to hear the King Monkey continuing to make music that is great.

The Stellify EP is only available on European iTunes and I'm sure his album (once available) will only be available as an import. But, with his track record of making great album, I may as well get ready to plop down $30 for one album.

Someone Call A Doctor...

Finally, the new Ian Brown video has hit the streets and it's... really good. While we still have a while to wait for the new album to come out, the Stellify EP is out now... somewhere. If this is a peek into what the album is like, I think it will rank up there with Golden Greats and Solarized. Gotta love Ian and his studio magic voice.

New Ian Brown?

Looks like the King Monkey, Ian Brown, has a new EP out exclusively on iTunes. But, if you actually looked for his new Stellify EP on iTunes it's not actually there. What gives? It's not on Imeen either, so, not sure what's up with that. However, you can hear a snippet of "Stellify" on his Myspace page... and it sounds pretty promising. No mariachi horns like Solarized, but, plenty of piano.
