THIS WEEKS HITS :: WEEK MIDDLING 21ST AUGUST


Current mood: ROOPY DO
Category: ROOPY DO Music



Woah waoh wowzer!!

It's been a great week for the hits. Yes boss, I've found or been fluffed so many interesting acts this last week I'm gonna have to farm them into several separate batches...

So let's start with a broad mixture of 5...

The first on the list is Baku Llama. Shit, I don't even remember this lot - hold on a minute...

Right, well what we're hearing here is a strange brew of fairly laid back liquid tinkling and some chuncky guitars. The there's some pretty clear, rather folky vocals and some almost Doors like meandering. There's an edge of the New Age going on here, but don't hold that against it. I reckon it's interesting and the tracks are fully downloadable..

Next we have Hamish Black. This is a quite different blast. It's one young guy in Scotland playing his guitar. And Hamish plays it proper with plenty of drive and noise and screeches and bangs. There's a good talent going on here...

Mr Cube is, on the surface, another bloke paying homage to electonic machines with some plinky plonk. But take a closer ear and there's some proper clever feel in this guys work together with some very nice rhythms...

With Christine Hoberg we're talking a very stripped down, but versatile and challenging voice with - in some tracks - very little else besides. It's drenched, versatile and clever...

And lastly for this edition, how about GNG? Nice and clever electronics always gets my boat and this is no exception. Nicely produced, neat, playful and jumpy. This could well be my favourite of the lot...

Yes, I think the most interesting playing and teasing with the voice I've heard since Bjork...
