Eartheater - Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin
She’s reminding me of someone I can’t quite think of at the moment. Slightly like Joanna Berwick, but more instantly catchy songs. Great voice, electronics and classical string type sounds.
Sean Nicholas Savage - Life Is Crazy. His voice / style is maybe quite marmite and theatrical, but I’ve loved some of his previous albums. This album has strings performed and arranged by Owen Pallett
Spinvis - 7.6.9.6. Dutch chap. I loved a single from his a few weeks ago, so looking forward to listening to this. Melodic indie sort of stuff, with strings. And Ditch singing.
Luke Kuplowsky - Stardust. Nice soft warm voice, and just sounds like nice relaxed music.
Zooni - Familiar Ground EP. Just a four track so, from a Brighton band who I discovered and loved at The Great Escape last year. Looking forward to then releasing an album some day.
Lyrically I thought the last album - or rather the first album they released this year! - was strong but it lacked energy. We’ll see what this one is like.
And because its ‘Bandcamp Friday’ there is also the 2nd vol. of “Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy” arriving.
Some low key, pensive hip-hop from Pan Amsterdam. Think I got recommended him by some connection with Milo/RAP Ferreira, probably appeal to fans of his
• a solo EP I’ve just put out. FFO incredibly low stakes electronica, bloops and loops.
• The Band I am in decided when that landfill indie list came out we would each do a cover from it and do PWYW with half of whatever we make going to Girls Rock London. I John Lewised The Cribs it’s very silly
Possibly out limited release a few weeks back but Theo Parrish - Wuddaji is finally out on streaming platforms today. Progressive, jazz-flecked house, sounding really good so far.
A couple of interesting EPs out today as well from Surgeon (minimalist techno) and Loraine James (IDM/electronica on Hyperdub).
