I've been building. I've been eaten by mosquitos. I've been despairing and cursing myself. I've been quite impressed. Since Saturday's opening I am finally relaxed again. Relaxed and really quite, quite happy...
Mustarinda goes well with international folk:
ØXN - Cruel Mother
I'm on a little obsession with Radie Peat's voice, whether in Lankum or in this astounding side project. The way she sings sounds so understated, almost defeated, but simultaneously intensely emotional. It creates a devastating tension, and the way the musical backdrop in this epic interpretation slowly builds to a noise breakdown can only add to this ghostly grisly drama.
Tarta Relena - Tou Votanikoú
It's coming up to Clandestino festival time, and what better way to prepare than harking back to previous festivals. Crappy iPhone videos of Tarta Relena's concert two summers ago still give me the shivers. One of the very most beautiful gigs of recent years!
Sutari - Lila gaski
Another great act from that same year, this trio from Poland.
Lisa O'Neill - Old Note
A newer discovery. This album was on The Quietus' list of best albums 2023, and it is indeed a brilliant album. A feeling of being connected to the immense beforetime.Feathered friend, dig up and resurrect me
I long to live among the song of birdies
A lawless league of lonesome, lonesome beauty
Skies and skies and skies above duty
Eric Chenaux - There They Were
The repetitive voices of humans and non-humans that draw you into the wonder of it all.Meanwhile I'm gonna love whatever I can...
