Here’s a song from Little Big Adventure, “Happiest Times”, taken from “The Hateful Eye EP”. The video maker Varelsen has also made a special video for the song.
Listen more on Little Big Adventure’s site or on Myspace.
Happiest Times:
Today I’ll show you some music from Yamon Yamons debut album, “Wilderlessness”, which was released in January this year. They present their indie pop, where the airy massive guitars and the nice guitar melodies are in focus. Here below you can listen to two songs from the singel “The Darker Place”, which was released in conjunction with the album.
You can listen to the entire album on their Bandcamp page and Follow the band on Myspace.
The last time I wrote about the musical adventurer Peter Lindström, he had just been out on a 3 month long tour in the USA. And this time he has recently returned from an even longer journey with concerts in Japan, Nya Zeeland and Australia.
He also has a new album to show us, “Petrel Petering”, which I thought I could present here in this post. It’s an 11 track long album, where he continues to explore the classic american singer/songwriter music. Add to this some blues and country songs like “Jesus’ Blood Ain’t Failed Me Yet”, a great track which almost gives me an impression like it’s Bowie singing Jaques Brel with country sound.
Peter has that kind of voice that makes it’s way inside of me. There is a warmth, a nerve and a precense that feels very real. With his story in the back of my mind, it gets even more interesting. Listen for yourself in a couple of tracks from “Petrel Petering”:
My Sunrise’ light and to me somewhat summerish pop is maybe not the first that comes to mind during this long winter. But with yet another snowstorm approaching, maybe it’s just what is needed right now.
The band serves nice melodies in a sound that reminds of the eighties, with some New Order vibes. Listen here to a couple of tracks. You can find My Sunrise on Myspace.
Pictures:
In the eighties the two big musical antipoles were hard rock and synth music. Of course there were loads of other types of music, but it felt like it was important to choose side here, at least for us guys. I chose hard rock.
And it was of course impossible then to admit that you liked a song that contained a lot of synth sounds (seems like we made exceptions for the hard rock bands that used synths…); that would have been embarrasing.
Of course i liked a lot of synth songs anyway, in secrecy, and this music has come to play just as an important role for me as all other music from this era. But now I’ve grown up (eh, maybe not really…), and We & Lisa is a band that reminds me a lot of this period.
The first feeling is Pet Shop Boys, but it’s more basic and original than that. Simpler, not so pompous and with a focus on good melodies, a little like the synth music was in the beginning. And with a dreamy, nice feeling.
You can find We & Lisa on their site and on their Myspace page you can listen to more tracks. Here are a couple of songs.
