Doubt I’ll get through all these today but my weekend listening will be:
-Moody folky country from Ian Noe - Between The Country
-Poetic blues abstraction from Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith - The Peyote Dance
-Crunchy guitars and coolness from Lungbutter - Honey
-Deep nutty old man dubs from Lee Scratch Perry - Rainford
The new Fragile X ep is absolutely brilliant. Don’t think he’s pushed go on the bandcamp release yet but it’s out today. Bad with me genres but I guess it’s some sort of experiemental/IDM… it’s fast, skittery, percussion heavy, layered and sounds gorgeous
Really like the preview track he had up for this. Not normally quite my cup of tea but there’s some dense drum action going on - I could feel my brain trying to wrap itself around what was going on and being forced to wave the white flag. Which is an oddly pleasant sensation. Looking forward to checking the full release out.
A few things for me today after a quiet week last week.
Katie Dey - Solipsisters
Other-worldly lovely sounds and distorted singing
Kishi Bashi - Omoiyari
An upbeat kind of Owen Pallett. Had a listen to his new album via NPR last week and really enjoyed it.
A toy-piano kinda instrumental album by Oskar Schuster, some sort of ambient hippy yoga type music from Anders Rhedin (although I’d prefer a new Dinner album), and new eps from **Why?**and Hunter As A Horse
A 30 minute throwback on the golden era of spaghetti western, chamber pop and soul. Inspired by the soundtracks of the low-budget films in the sixties, The Beach Boys and finding comfort in being alone.
This psych-loving Swede put out an impressive debut EP late last year, and I’m enjoying this rather more laid-back album from him this morning.
Also looking forward to some new Richard Hawley - he’s yet to let me down.
