09/19 - Sure Fatal Doses of Malcontent Through Osmosis

City and polity sounds



Bobby McFerrin - Improvisació 1

I finally got around to watching The Square. I thought it was rather brilliant, as most of Ruben Östlund's oevre is. And I loved how unnerving the recurring Bobby McFerrin vocals were. The last 3-4 minutes of this track are extraordinary.


Tunng - People Folk

Being back in London. Taking the first signs of summer – swifts arriving, warm sunny days in flowering gardens – with the congestion, the hayfever, the crowded commute... People had to run...




Andrew Bird - Imitosis

So many people around me again. Yet, most evenings, a profound sense of detachment and, dare I say it, loneliness. 


Vampire Weekend - Sympathy

The new Vampire Weekend album is finally here. And it's loose, catchy and summery! I listen to it all the time. This song was one of my first standouts. Pure fun.... until you take heed of the lyrics.


John Martyn - Call Me Crazy

John Martyn – master of outros. That thing that happens at 4:25 is basically the aural equivalent of me coming home after a day's gardening and slumping down in a chair in my own garden, blackbirds serenading from the chimneystocks in the evening sun.
