The autumn has passed in a flurry of wagework. All fun, but I've not had time for much else, except some birdwatching. Here is a top five for just chugging along.
Nihiloxica - Asidi
I had an idea of making a Top 5 of all heavy percussion tracks like this, but I chickened out. Others might find it trying after 20+ min... Nevertheless, this Ugandan pummelling is exactly my jam atm.
Shellac - Scrappers
I need to listen to more Shellac. This is such a great tune.
Mabe Fratti - Kravitz
I love the use of a brass section to just play long, held out notes like this.
Gnod - Dream On
Get lost in the groove. Melt away.
Los Hijos del Sol - Cariñito
The Clandestino season started with a wonderful gig by Los Wembler's de Iquitos. They of course have plenty of amazing tunes of their own, which they played. But it was when they did a cover of this chicha classic that the whole audience started singing along, whether they spoke Spanish or not, and since then, I keep humming this melody wherever I go.
