Musical explorations
Friday, August 18, 2006
With the feeling mentioned below, the computer beckoned me to scour its depths for new music to listen to this fall (new for me, if not others).So here are some down-tempo electronic ecommendations:
Sia - She was a vocalist for Zero 7 as well as featured a couple of times on Sx Feet Under (the TV show). I didn't know she had solo work until today. Beautiful work. And she is touring with them - going to be here on Sept. 9th.
Boards of Canada - Out of Scotland actually. They are blood in the same vein as Air, Sia, Zero 7, etc, but they have heavier beats and lack the vocals.
Tosca - I have mentioned them before, but they are definitely worth mentioning again.
And some other stuff fitting the mod if you are interested:
The Album Leaf - Instrumental space rock.
Matt Pond PA - I have yet to digest their new-er album but what I have heard makes good on earlier musical promises.
Joze Gonzales - Just click up there on the left for a listen.
A little more uptempo but very, very, very good is:
The Two Gallants - which are... well... Dylan-esque, Black Keys-ish, White Stripe-aliscious but so much more than comparisons can capture. Check them out, damn it!
