19/20 - I Spread Like Strawberries

Posting a list from a hotel in Luleå, because it's snowing like crazy outside and I'm staying in with familiar tunes, old and new.

 

Norma Tanega - You're Dead

Just watched the final episode of What We Do In The Shadows the other day, and I need more! More Nadja! More Colin Robinson! Until season 3, I can at least have more Norma Tanega.
 

 

Laurent Garnier - The Man With the Red Face

I miss dancing. Dancing by yourself in a hotel room doesn't quite count. I want to be at a massive party with a bouncing dance floor and throw shapes to this stone cold, red hot classic.

 

 

Grizzly Bear - Three Rings

When it comes to unravelling, developing, enveloping song structures, Grizzly Bear are in a class of their own, and Three Rings is a masterclass. The intricate journey towards that insisting, hopeful finale:

Don't you be so easy

Don't you know that I can make it better

Don't you ever leave me

Don't you feel it all come together

 

 

Fiona Apple - Heavy Balloon

I know I'm late to this – deliberately so, because I hate being swept up in hype – but if this isn't one of the smartest songwriters of our time riding the pinnacle of her craft I don't know what it is. And her voice! So good.

 

 

 

dEUS - The Real Sugar

Starting to feel a bit isolated now. Gonna head out to look at a UNESCO World Heritage...

Everybody's ever felt lonely...
