Bandcamp breaks yet another amazing record label, this time out of France. La Souterraine are based out of France, and they cover a lot of weird alternative and pop music that flies under the radar in their home country.
Music
[Music] Giorgio Sollazzi – Bavardage de Tyresia
Giorgio Sollazzi is a friend and a fine composer out of San Demetrio ne’ Vestini, Italy who works primarily with contemporary classical, avant-garde music.
[Music] Wardruna – Sowelu
The death of a good friend in Wales keft me feeling stunned at the brevity of life. A bit of somber music is in order, and today’s slice is provided by the Norwegian neofolk band Wardruna.
[Music] Svend Asmussen – Dark Eyes String Swing
“The fiddling Viking,” Svend Asmussen, passed away yesterday at age 100. He’s shown here playing the Russian standard, “Dark Eyes.”
[Music/Literature] William S. Burroughs – Ah Pook the Destroyer

Everyone’s favorite junkie uncle, William S. Burroughs, being his old cranky self. Splat, indeed.
[Music] Jurica Jelić – Patterns Within Chaos
Jurica Jelić has been featured before in this blog, and it’s a pleasure to announce that he has a new album filled with microtonal guitar compositions. Excellent headphone listening to drift off to.
[Music] Swans – God Loves America
Never doubt The Swans, even if we’re enduring a tough love.
[Music] 36 – Hollow
36 (pronounced three-six) are an ambient drone band based out of the United Kingdom. Heavy duty music for headphones, not quite Eno-esque, but it resides more along the post-rock side of the spectrum.
[Music] Girl Band – De Bom Bom
Here’s another track from what, to these ears, is the best band in Ireland today. Girl Band sound something like a violent crashing of The Birthday Party, early Nirvana, with touches of This Heat.
[Music] Ruşen Alkar – Qîzê Bê Dê
All thanks and respect to my friend Sarp Keskiner for turning me on to some absolutely lovely Kurdish music from Ruşen Alkar.
