02/15 - In Places Deep With Roots Entwined



Björk - Mutual Core (These New Puritans Remix)
Time: Evening after evening.
Place: In the studio.
Feelings: A detached nostalgia.
Of note: I've not listened to the new album yet. I'm saving it for a special moment, to try and relive the pregnant expectations I've experienced with other Björk albums, back when release dates were still special.


Leonard Cohen - Nevermind
Time: Tuesday evening.
Place: Whitechapel underground station.
Feelings: A tired but confident solitude.
Of note: Leonard, more contemporary than ever. Who would've thunk it? "This was your heart, this swarm of flies. This was once your mouth, this bowl of lies."


Arca - Thievery
Time: Long ago, it seems now. But in fact just a couple if weeks
Place: Bus, train, who cares.
Feelings: Wonder.
Of note: The first thing I could think of when I heard this was Björk's song In The Musicals, and then came the news that he's co-producing the new Björk album, and all came full circle.


Flying Lotus - Coronus, the Terminator
Time: Late night.
Place: In bed with my laptop on my chest.
Feelings: A slight tug at the heartstrings.
Of note: The video got me:




Duke Ellington & Count Basie - Wild Man
Time: Morning
Place: Bus
Feelings: Just digging, man. Just digging.
Of note: Oh the flute at 5:15. Delish!
