29/16 - Now, Quick The Night Draws Near

These are totems against an upsetting political world.

Susanne Sundfør - White Foxes

This week's real obsession is those last seconds, when she jumps up an octave to repeat the final line:

My eye
is my
sanctuary

The eye of the storm. Crystal clear. Blissful.

Dirty Projectors - Gun Has No Trigger

The tension. The tension is almost unbearable. But so perfectly orchestrated and harmonised, building to that final dreadful moment when even suicide is impossible.

Solange - Cranes In The Sky

So beautiful. So sensual. So sorrowful. Who else does music like this today?

Moondog - Marimba Mondo 2

Love how this starts out sounding like an almost quaint bit of exotica, but then it just persists and persists, and then those weird beats and fills start interjecting and bringing it to something more akin to a folktronica/minimalism fusion.

Jess Sah Bi & Peter One - Our Garden Needs Its Flowers

Never a bad idea to round up with some laconic, Ivorian country music melodies.
