Portishead, the undisputed kings and queen of Trip-Hop, perform in the hamlet which bears their band name.
Alternative/Indie
[Video] Cibelle – Green Grass
Maybe it’s a sign of getting old that I’m enjoying sparse, folk-ish acoustic music, but there’s something sublime in the soothing voice of Cibelle.
[Video] Agnes Obel – Dorian (Live Session, Berlin 2013)
Danish pop singer and pianist Agnes Obel is a new name to me. Perhaps it’s time to start listening to KCRW or indie radio again.
[Video] Lola V. Stain – Makova Polja
Lola V. Stain were one of the founding members of Macedonian ethnocore. The project, featuring Zlatko Origjanski, gave a platform to musicians like Goran Trajkoski, who would found Anastasia, as well as the legendary gaija player Pece Atanasovski.
[Podcast] ‘Haunted’ by Christina Liveri
Haunted by Christina Liveri on Mixcloud
One of my favorite podcasters out of Greece, Christina touches on tracks by U.N.K.L.E., Dead Can Dance, and many others. A worthy follow (would you expect any less?).
[Video] UNKLE (with Ian Astbury) – Burn My Shadow
How on Earth did I miss out on this one? Ian Astbury must have been on haitus from The Cult while making this track for the electronic music group U.N.K.L.E. His voice is in very good form here, and U.N.K.L.E. provide a perfect backdrop for it.
[Video] Dream Syndicate – Loving the Sinner, Hating the Sin
It seems that The Dream Syndicate, who are local boys in my current neck of the woods, are getting back together again for a series of performances. It’s hard to believe this is about two-and-a-half decades old now. Good for Steve Wynn and company reuniting!
[Video] Cremadelic – Cherry
Julio Gutiérrez (Cremadelic in this guise) has few side projects which will eventually be featured on these pages. This one is something akin to shoegaze music touching base with IDM.
[Video] Hüsker Dü – New Day Rising
THIS is how you start a new year! Hüsker Dü at their finest. May we all enjoy a wonderful 2015!
