Playlist 238 - Oct 9 2012



We opened the show with some great bossa nova from Dubliner Owensie, a brilliantly catchy tune from his new album Citizens. We also had more brass-ornamented skewed pop from David Byrne & St Vincent; two Galway bands playing live together this week, Yawning Chasm and Christian Bookshop; Japanese legends Shonen Knife (pictured, as usual, great costumes), also on tour at the moment, the wonderful croon of Jon DeRosa, a track from a re-issued album by the incomparable North Sea Radio Orchestra, Limerick's windings, the orchestral flourishes of Jherek Bischoff, the choral beauty of Ombre. And a superb dub rework of Roll the Dice by Berliner Pole. Calling dub workers? Now there's a marching slogan...

Best of 2014 - Part 4: Jazz/Chamber/Orchestral/Wonky/Ambient/Minimalist

Image
And so the final part of this journey back through 2014. I've titled this bunch in favour of the Orchestral/Jazz end of the pop spectrum but there are certainly a few refugees from Dream Pop, Folk, maybe even Soul (and one showtune). Who's counting though. There are also a good number of Electronic pieces in here as promised, but more of minimalist, downtempo and/or industrial leanings. Mood wise, I think this set hangs together pretty well. Whatever, there's a lot of great music in here for sure. Just as a reminder, here are the other three parts of my 2014 Review. http://www.theundergroundofhappiness.blogspot.ie/2014/12/best-of-2014-part-1-folkrootscountry.html http://www.theundergroundofhappiness.blogspot.ie/2014/12/best-of-2014-part-2-soulpopjangleelectr.html http://www.theundergroundofhappiness.blogspot.ie/2015/01/best-of-2014-part-3-psychkrautrockpunkb.html 1.
