Dismaland - "It's not art unless it has the potential to be a disaster"

Bansky it's one of those artists; he throws at you it's best punch, and you are thankful for it. This is not Disneyland. It's Dismaland.

Dark, but soothing

From debut mixtape Lower, Glass Gang present us this hauntingly beautiful song (and video), Believe. You can listen and download for free here. A band to watch for, undoubtedly.

Evening bliss

Jaakko Eino Kalevi entered my life a year ago, or something. Not important. Glad he came in. He took his shoes off, and introduced himself. Glad he did. Puns apart, this advance for his new album, named after himself, is a really good introduction for whoever wants to know the music this man makes. He's finnish, and that's no reason at all to think that his songwriting would be cold. In fact, his music his heartwarming and absorbing. The heart can be a warm place too. The whole song is like a misty dream, joining the bass, the light drums and guitars, and the synths in blissful harmony. The synths on this song, create a loop that drives us away. Far. And i'm thankful for it.

NEW! Foals rock the house down!

New powerful track by Foals! They're rocking it all out! YEAH!

High on love - class act

Elizabeth Harper, aka Class Actress, is back with two new singles, both from new EP Movies. More poignant stuff from a class act that is most beloved by this guy who writes these lines to whoever reads them. Her voice sways throughout both tracks with grace, whispering in our ears gently like a summer breeze, eyes focused on the horizon. Accompanied by living legend Giorgio Moroder, producer of this record, who, i think, does not need any introductions, Class Actress continues to deliver sweet melodies, delicious and scrumptious beats. Something more for the summer, even though the rain persists outside, knocking in the windows. Well, anyway i love the sound of rain beating gently on the windows. So, all cool.

Things to embrace blindly

She's Ukrainian. She's Nata. Owner of a powerful, beautiful voice. As smooth as striking. She's part of ONUKA, meaning granddaughter in Ukrainian, a hommage to her grandfather. The other half of ONUKA is Eugene Filatov. Together they made a haunting, synthesizers-driven album, untitled after the band's name. This is stuff to listen over and over, drawing pleasure from each beat, from each sway of Nata's voice. This is stuff to love and welcome in you soul.

This is the single "Time".

And you can stream the album from here.

Shura's here to stay

Shura's music came to me recently, few months ago, wonderfully and majestically thrown at me, sent into my heart via my ears. Cheesy, but true. She's back with one more fine track. Well, pardon me and my french, but a fucking awesome new track. The hell with "fine". It's fresh, it throws you punches in the stomach, and it makes you get up and dance. With eyes closed. Shura is an undeniable talent with a brilliant future. No need clairvoyance for that. It's all there. Thank you.

Tamaryn - Back to Our Hearts

Tamaryn will be back soon. This is the amazing second single coming out of their LP due next August. This is dreamy, woozy stuff; shoegaze at its finest. Welcome back. We've missed you. A lot.

Good morning!!! You all have a great one!! :)

ONE MORE! ONE MORE!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! This one too!!!!! Neon Indian's back!! NOW it is goodnight ya'll!!!!!

Goodnight, ya'll!

Can't get tired of this album... Father John Misty(fied me). And a goodnight to ya'll!

Lovely brand new stuff from this bunch. It comes in a pack of two, Smile first, then Distortion. Rock n'roll first, then distort with some ethereal sounds, languid drifting guitars, and a befiting vocalization.Stuff dreams are made of. Smiles and distortions. And smiles. And tears. And all in between. From their "Plastic People" EP.

Pshychotic, beautiful, beat/sound/synth/beat. To listen in the sunset, eyes set on the horizon.

Jim is back.

1999. I remember it so well, so fondly, when i first snatched "Eureka" from a store, and listened to it. It was love at first...earing. Sounded strangely odd, sounded different, sounded good. Blissfuly good. "Yeah, this guy is alright", i thought. And he was. And now, he is again. He's back. Jim O'Rourke is back in all his singular, melancholic, glory. It's good to have you back, Jim. It's great. "All Your Love" is all we could ever need.

Lower, upper, bummer.

New album from Lower Dens. If I already love them, this song is really putting me out there. Ondine is a master crafted thing. Listen, feel, love. And Escape From Evil.

some songs for later tonight - maybe

Ballet School - Heartbeat Overdrive

Hot Chip - Huarache Lights

The National - Lit Up (Alternate Version)

Cemichal Brothers - Modern Midnight Conversation

TV on the Radio - Lazerray

Song for today II

I've heard this song, for the first time, through a friend, by the time the album got out. Some years ago. And it's been too long, far too long since i've last played it (out loud) here, at home. Far to long. The song it's wonderfuly crafted, with a gentle guitar inviting in, a bass drum setting the insolent rythm. The synths fill up the sound, and you're done. You're hooked. The voice of Catherine McCandless (what voice...) lifts us up and spins us round. But what makes it absolutely perfect are the tremendous lyrics. Absolutely feet-sweeping stuff. Maybe we have everything. Maybe we don't. Maybe we did. Maybe we will.

Song for today

This girl and boy are absolutely amazing. The feeling i get is that they are mirrorballing they're way through. They beat us up inside, tear our insides apart, and leave us with an ethereal sensation that stays in. Well, on what's left of us. Kudos to these brave two. Keep on. Please.

Got to love this tune. Got to. Just go to.

It's been a while since i've heard this one. It's the right mood for today.

Riot Horse Girls

Remember Chan Marshall? Yep, Cat Power. If you don't (i curse you to hell, then), then this song will, most surely, make you go there again. This song is not new new, as in "yes it came out today on the 7th March 2015", it's a couple weeks old (but then again, i started this blog to play new and old music - so, it fits, eitherway). But i came across it today, so i guess it's new. For me. Vocally driven, with a humdrumming drum on the background, a bass that helps set the temperature, and a guitar that throughout the song, tries to sing aswell, this is a perfect song to just stare at the ocean.

Amarachi

A neat neat delicious track from Amarachi. I've been introduced to this kind of sound only a few months/years ago. It has grown in me. And i thank who showed me this path. Whatever sort of art, you should never be jammed against two tall walls. You can neither turn around, nor you can look up. This is a vocal masterpiece. And a heart-warming, soulful melody. Pure pleasure.

Did you know you're the echo in my mind?

Not one of my favorite bands. Don't really quite know why, but their sound never convinced me. Maybe that's about to change. These two songs feel just like summer. Feels just like everything will be ok. Or not. But hey, life sucks and then you die, right? The first is their latest video, out today. The other is earlier, but another mind-blower. Both from their latest album, The Scene Between. Yep, i'm about to change my view on this bunch. Maybe even fall in love.

Things to ear and love

Groovy and lovable stuff here, from Garden City Movement. These songs are from their latest EP, the third, Modern West, Enjoy. I did. More here.

it's such a waste of all that we had

Acordar e ouvir esta música, quase às 9h da manhã, no rádio. E abanares o carro num semáforo vermelho. Dia cumprido antes de o ser.

Há muitas razões para se gostar de Hot Chip. Seja a música, que chama o pé, mas também chama a alma, com letras acutilantes. Eu gosto de Hot Chip porque gosto de tudo neles. E muito. Why (the hell) Make Sense?

Sobre quando se é bom. Bom comó caralho. E quando tu sabes que (quase) tudo o que vem dali é tão delicioso como uma travessa de caracóis quando a Primavera põe a cabeça de fora. Acrescento só uma coisa: a linha de baixo deste "single" dos Blur é assombrosa. Alex James sabe o que fazer com a ponta dos dedos. Aliás, sempre o soube. Fodido quanto estivesse, nos concertos. Sempre soube.

Sobre Amar. Amar num clamor, em labaredas vivas, de vermelho ruborescente.

Começar

Inicio aqui um novo blog ("oh não, outro não...") de música. Uma outra das minhas paixões. Perdoem-me, mas não vou entrar em descrições muito detalhadas porque também as não posso fazer porque também não sei o que isto vai dar. Vou andar entre o novo e o velho, como quem baloiça dependurado num ramo de árvore ao sabor do vento (que hoje, 24 de Março de 2015, bate forte).

Quero começar com uma música singela, mas que, ainda hoje, me faz subir ao cosmos, sem ar, sem respirar, e voltar numa folha de éter.

Será mais um bocadinho de mim que fica por aí, ou só por aqui, neste blog.
