One Little Indian: One Little Indian 2
Declare Independence
Björk
A dirty bassy electro groove gives an inescapable sense of menace; and while the vocal urges liberation, the menace increases as the message gets insisted upon more. If being trapped is always going to be this exciting, it's probably okay.
Kaptain
The Mightly Roars
Passionate rocking love song with a powerful yet vulnerable female vocal.
Me & Mary
Asobi Seksu
Like a sweet poppy Motown number from way back, only stretched and textured and electrified - without losing any of its saccharine joy.
C'est La Via
HK119
Disconcertingly passion-free account of passionate love: 'you've got to be human' we're told, to the sound of robots having lazy sex.
Pick The Ghost
Underground Railroad
Scuzzy effects and lo-fi aesthetics can't help this one from soaring: there's a hidden energy in the middle somewhere, that you can't help thinking might be the very ghost of the title...
Burst Its Banks
Kill It Kid
The song had so many elements that make a great piece of music, building and building the sounds, vocals, rhythms, as the river burst its banks...
Going Out West (live)
Jesse Malin
Superb melancholy country ballad lent additional sting by Malin's memorably nasal intonation.
What To Do
Kelli Ali
An eerie song offering personal advice with a semi-mystical flavour of doubt.
Little Birds
Official Secrets Act
Achingly sad plea in the face of impending loss, that transforms itself with a burst of energy into a swinging, convincing appeal of a song.
45 Forever
The All New Adventures of Us
Expertly structured, grand-scale pop song from the extended collective.
My favourite of all the bundles. Thanks for letting me discover cool music... this is exactly what i was lookin for, hiding myself from the commercial sh*t everywhere!
keep the music coming.
Cheers!
