  • Cornelia – The Meaning of that Day

    I imagined if Bjork had a younger punkier sister, her music would sound like Cornelia.   In particular this track, with Bjork-esque vocal touches and minimal percussion and electro whispered beats.

    My favorite line from this track:
    “The Bitch is back no way to hide you”   — Friggin brilliant!

    Cornelia – The Meaning of that Day

    thesixtyone.com bio:

    Cornelia: ‘Oxygen is my friend.
    Without her, you could say I just wouldn’t be.
    My song… our song, that you hear – it’s a relationship. Our conversation.

    The air and my chest meeting at some half way point in my throat.

    So, this is what I do. I write songs, and in turn they rewrite me.
    I sing them.
    I sometimes play them… or just play with them. The song needs to be played with; it has its own character and feel. Like plants, rabbits… they all need that arching fresh air to function.

    Sound sweet sound, whether I’m up or down.

    My brain brim-filled with widespread layers of songs, pushing out of my nose and each corner of my eyes. I can’t stop it. It’s an all time flow, in close connection to both heart and mind.

    Sometimes I have to travel far to look for that oxygen. Life is all about going somewhere, learning, meeting new friends. Change of decisions, making new arrangements on the side of plans you thought you had already figured out.’

  • Uh Huh Her – Explode

    Named after the PJ Harvey album of the same name, Camila and Leisha (ex Gush, Murmurs) have a reminiscent 80’s feel to their music.   From warm synth lines, New Order esque basslines, and glistening vocals, but all the while coalesque into something new.

  • Tricky – Far Away

    More of up straight up mellow rock track from Tricky’s latest effort titled, “Knowle West Boy”. I have had this track looping for about an hour now… 🙂

    Bio from last.fm:

    Adrian Thaws (born January 27, 1968), better known as Tricky, is an English rapper and musician important in the trip-hop and british music scene (despite loathing the “trip-hop” tag).

    He is noted for an asthmatic whispering lyrical style that is half-rapped, half-sung. As a producer and a musician he is known for having an aversion to perfection preferring to build up a dark, rich and layered sound. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black Britain particularly in his fusion of rock and hip-hop, high art and pop culture. He drew his influences from rap Public Enemy to post-punk (he covered a Siouxsie and the Banshees’s song Tattoo).
