EXODUS NOW

Ursprung is the latest project of Stephan Abry (Workshop) and Hendrik Weber (aka Pantha du Prince). Their release is a mix of their own ‘Ursprung’: Krautrock, ambient, and minimalist guitar-sound á la Durutti Column- the guitar as the primary sound source. Those very influences melt into ten tracks produced by Tobias Levin.

That’s Twin Peaks

JAAR ESSENTIALS

In the meantime, on an entirely different musical planet, 22-year-old wunderkind Nicolas Jaar compiled his first ever contribution to BBC One’s essential Essential Mix, which is like a roller coaster ride through musical history, easily living up to last year’s benchmark essential mix by James Blake. Shigeru Umebayashi followed by *NSYNC, Jay-Z by Johny Greenwood? [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: MODESELEKTOR WITH THOM YORKE

I’m not sure how puppets relate to the content of This, the new single of Berlin’s thumping Modeselektor with vocals by none other than Thom Yorke, but then again, who cares? It’s a surprisingly great track, with pretty visuals courtesy of Brighton-based futuredeluxe.

DARK PARTS

Mike Hadreas a.k.a. Perfume Genius dedicates this song – Dark Parts – to his mum who is also in the video.

Death of a country

Of course you can become very angry, as the political class seems to get dumber and dumber, with big cuts in education and culture, and [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: KING CREOSOTE VERSUS KING KRULE

Two kings for a Monday is not a bad start into the week at all, we thinks. Enjoy a slightly bizarre Goosezilla rampage with King Creosote’s Third Swan, above, versus King Krule’s slightly self-indulging lament The Noose of Jah City, below, and we’re really not sure what genre of music this would be. King Krule, [...]

Time For Livin’

“I ride on the bus, head to the city every day
I sit on the seat and dream myself away
I dream I’m on an island with that foxy lady too
But when I awaken, I must be mistaken, I’m on the avenue
Won’t you take me away, and take away me
