following my first hand witnessing of an admittedly minor road rage incident in my cozy little cotswold town on the way home last night, i have come to realise that us brits cant handle the sunshine !
damn people, this is such a rare thing this year – enjoy it and kick back.
and so to the soundtrack of such climate change induced temporatures :
treva whateva – music’s made of memories – new on ninjatune soon. more funky, sample heavy dance floor grooves, been done before, but still mighty fine nonetheless.
baikonour – for the lonely hearts of the cosmos – i mean really ? how on earth people dont all have this blasting out of the ikea sanctioned living rooms is beyond me – totally gorgeous instrumental melody driven noises. full review to appear online in the usual place soon. (out on melodic with the best album cover ever ?)
junkboy – lost parade – self released second album, continuing their personal journey into post rock, ambient and generally laid back but emotionally distraught vibes.
ego twisters party ruiners – seriously fucked up electronic noise from new and interesting french label – check the website for massive mp3’s availability. and look orange vinyl ! but be warned – this is not stuff for your sunday afternoon gettogether that’s for sure. very messy : egotwister
architecture in helsinki – new album out soon on moshi moshi. first play went straight past me. but then something clicked. could become a major playlister. prog-indie orchestral pop music thats anything but cinematic.
other honourable mentions : clor album (of course !), lazarus and the return of wrath super sevens
till next time,
crack’on
