This is good fun. Nothing out of the ordinary but a really solid great DIY rock song. Penelope Isles tune is called Leipzig – no clue why – bur I guess: Why not…
Song of the Week – JARV IS aka Jarvis – Evolve – Episode 59
Yes, it’s Jarvis Cocker from Pulp. He’s still the greatest, the best, the most amazing and the most important…
Evolve is signature Jarvis or JARV IS as he is known these days. By the way..Must I Evolve? The answer is: Yes.
Song of the Week – 5KHD – Ice Bird – Episode 58
5KHD is from Austria. No kidding. Every single musician in this band is a master of his trade. A bit of free jazz, a lot of pop, a bit of soul and a lot of skills. Give this one a chance. It’s interesting to say the least.
Song of the Week – Cloth – Tripp – Episode 57
These Scots know that slow and delicate songs are the most difficult to write and don’t shy away from doing so. Perfect balance and adorable sound. Cloth are just starting out and there is so much more to come – for sure. Tripp shows you why.
Song of the Week – Weyes Blood – Movies – Episode 56
Some people feel what some people don’t Some people-watch until they explode The meaning of life doesn’t seem to shine like that screen.
This line from Movies by the wonderful Weyes Blood says it all. Brilliant beyond belief. Deep, deeper, the deepest. Where music and life intersect.
Song of the Week – Whispering Sons – Alone – Episode 55
This band is from Belgium and the front woman is so intense it’s almost scary – in a good way of course. Alone gives you Sisters of Mercy meets The Cure meets New Order.
The Ninth Wave – Half Pure – Song of the Week Episode 54
The Ninth Wave are right out of a 1980’s picture book – with one difference – they aren’t. New Wave Dark Pop at its best. Their songs are ace. Scottish drama we love you.
Song of the Week – Mannequin Pussy – Drunk II – Episode 53
This is for sure the weirdest band name around. Mannequin Pussy is not to be taken too seriously. They are moving between hard core pop-punk and Rock’n’Roll. Listen to this:
Song of the Week – Rebounder – Japanese Posters – Episode 52
Dylan Chenfield aka Rebounder is mixing up the New York music scene. Not since The Strokes have we been this excited about a new talent. Still grass roots and merely 200 plays on youtube this is perfect indie pop with enough identity to make Rebounder a stand out hit.
Song of the Week – Disq – Communication – Episode 51
They are from Saddle Creek in Wisconsin of all places. They remind me of Teenage Fanclub and that’s a good thing. They just rocked SXSW and are lots of fun. Enough said. Listen to Communication by Disq
