To get into the mood for the weekend, here is our Song Pick of the Day, the bouncy Runimals by the Norwegian duo Philco Fiction: it sounds like they have hired an entire brass orchestra. Their second album is coming out later this month.
I don’t know much more about L. $hamPain than that she is from Texas and records all her music alone in her bedroom. That narrative matches her music: listen for example to Take Me Out Tonight on her EP Turtles all the Way Down where she coos “Take me Out[…]
I’m staying a bit longer in Australia, musically that is, and head over to Brisbane where Georgia Mae can be found, when she’s not in Sydney. Keeper of the Key is a sweet, slightly melancholic, simply beautiful song. It just has the right amount of tension and build-up for not being[…]
You might ask where is the sorrow here? French artist Vallés seems to have a good time here, following a beautiful woman through a beautiful mediterranean landscape (the Spanish island of Ibiza, maybe, Vallés home). Wait a little and you’ll see that it doesn’t work out so well.
Last Saturday, a great lineup gathered for a daytime show at Bushwhick DIY venue Palisades. We arrived in time for a song by Exiles and the whole set of Dream Parrot, two bands we will look out for. But we were here for Lantrns, a Brooklyn three piece comprised of[…]
Yesterday, while listening iTune’s alternative radio, a song came up that sounded familiar and that I instantly loved (again). Checking the song Laced and the band DMA’s, I remembered that I came across them last year already. Then a few hours later, the 3rd round of announcements for bands playing[…]
Last week, we saw an episode of the TV show “Nashville” and and there a band consisting of two of the ex-boyfriends of the third band member named themselves “The Triple-Exes”. Our Song Pick of the Day comes from the real world EXES who are from L.A. and their music[…]
There are actually a lot of words in this releaxed instrumental by the young North English artist JEZTLS: beneath the track you can hear voices in a room full of people. That gives the track a very comforting vibe – something you may want to put on while dozing off[…]
The Song Pick of the Day I’d originally chosen for today would have been Parlance, by the English three-piece In Isolation. Having read the band’s bio and listened to their tracks online, there’s no doubt that they’re children of the 80s (New Wave) and 90s (post-punk), and influenced by the[…]
Back in 1990, Oliver and I were lucky enough to see David Bowie during his “Sound and Vision” tour: we drove from Munich to Ulm to see him headlining an amazing line-up (Pixies among others). This is so long ago, yet I remember the concert vividly because it was… everything[…]
