I wanted to write a long blog post about Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest movie. Then I found this post. I’ll repeat:

Just go watch it.

New album: video diary #2

Still working on the new album. It is still called Delta. And here is video diary number two. We are all falling from cloud nine

New album in the making. It’s called Delta. I’ll be dropping a number of video diaries to give you a glimpse of the sounds and moods of this little beast.

This Will Destroy You

This Will Destroy You performing Black Dunes from their latest album Tunnel Blanket. Great stuff if you like Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai and so on.

Zomes

Zomes makes repetitive music and I like it. Zomes makes repetitive music and I like it. Zomes makes repetitive music and I like it. Zomes makes repetitive music and I like it.

Emeralds are gems for sure

This just landed on my digital desktop. A live performance by drone/synth rockers Emeralds from the 2010 Unsound Festival. I’ve never heard of them before, but I’m blown away… 35 minutes of epic greatness.

Great music from Africa

I read an article in an old magazine the other day about a guy from Brooklyn who is blogging about great music from Africa. He converts the music from old tapes and share it as mp3s on his blog. I’ve been browsing and listening to a lot of the music in the last week, so I thought I’d share  my favourites.

Aster Aweke
Great Ethiopian pop music.

Mahmoud Guinea
Moroccan gnawa music.

Oudaden
More Moroccan music.

Processed church organs a la carte

Canadian drone-slash-synth musician Tim Hecker has released a new album called Ravedeath, 1972. It is made up of a number of church organ blurps that are cut up, reassembled, looped and processed digitally. It has some poignant decaying qualities, but it never really sounds like the music is going to fall apart. On the contrary I imagine this is what an old beast waking up from its slumber sounds like. Great album!
