It feels good to see how things seem to be sizzling despite the biting cold out there.
First I'd like to start with what might be the most beautiful, intriguing, downright compelling piece of music I've recently come across. You must have heard of them before. I'm talking about The Knife, the renowned Swedish duo, who just released their album "Tomorrow, In A Year". I haven't granted enough time to the whole record (yet), but surely the teaser song "Colouring Of Pigeons" is now engraved deep upon the walls of my spindly flesh.
It's baffling how poignant this is to me. The melody rumbles on with precision in an expanding swirl of strings, howling, creaking, shrewdly whining in your ears. It's raw, violent and tender all at once. I should admit I adore this kind of paradoxical concoction of emotions.
If you haven't heard the track already, then you're lucky. It'll certainly be a rocky journey.
I've got kind of an obsessive personality. When my brain stumbles on something it fancies, it proves hard to steer clear of the thought. It's like glued to my synapses.
I'm crazy about Deer Hunter. These guys are unbearable. In a good way. A very good way. SO talented I'm literally dying of jealousy. Ha ha !
After all this delirious ranting, let's get to the point. I hope you'll enjoy this little selection from the albums "Weird Era Continued" and "Microcastle".
Not quite sure whether or not it's an official video. Probably not. It might be about time. Regrets. How your memorabilia lingers through time and space. An absolute masterpiece !
Strolling back to the Microcastle record. It sounds poppier but Nothing Ever Happened is nonetheless surprising... Listen ! When a charming frenzy of crunchy guitar riffs kick in, then coolly builds up.
By the way, these loony blokes have a lovely blog that you should look up:
If you're into minimal/house at all, Rodriguez JR will be taking over Kiosk on friday night. Tempted ?
