Playlist 301 - Mar 4 2014
Beck's new album Morning phase has some great moments. My favourites would have to be where his father David Campbell's orchestrations add melancholy grandeur, just as JC Vannier's do on Histoire de Melody Nelson, Serge Gainsbourg's opus from 1970 (and an admitted massive influence on Beck).
Laurie Shaw has some killer garage pop tunes (Cork live shows upcoming), so have Vertical Scratchers, with a distinct Kinks flavour in their case, which is always good.
Eat Lights Become Lights' new record is another winner, reportedly taking influence from Moondog among others. We had the latter's wonderful 'Bird's Lament' this week, part children's tv theme, part tricksy avant garde genius. Also great to hear from Kev Hopper, ex-Stump, in his new band Prescott.
Damien Jurado plays Dublin tonight (Mar 5), his new album, Brothers and sisters of the eternal son, is one of the best of the year so far, brilliant from start to finish.
Some beautiful Italian soundtrack music from Nino Oliveiro and the late Riz Ortolani, thanks to Trunk Records (y'all really should become subscribers, it'd be worth your whiles). And Stanley Brinks with The Wave Pictures bringing some beautiful, breezy Jonathan Richman vibes - see below for Cork date, there's also a Dublin date the following night).
