Playlist 312 - May 27 2014
Having watched the Big Star documentary Nothing can hurt me (if ever there was a misnomer) recently, I felt the need for a bit of Alex Chilton at his bleakest and best. Holocaust is like the downbeat flipside to The VU's I'll be your mirror, a truly heartbreaking piece of music.
Angel Olsen is another singer with a voice to stop you in your tracks, she plays Cork next week. More from another American singer Joan Shelley who plays Cork tonight (May 28).
New single from Tune-Yards, more brilliant songcraft from Merrill Garbus, this time bringing some dub and dayglo pop to the mix. Peter Broderick teams up with his friend Greg Haines and there's also dub involved, of a kind of outer space reverbed variety.
Kramies, desolate but beautiful psych folk; The Vincent(s) strident and swampy; Laura Cantrell loves the fact that all the girls are complicated, but is still wary of the fact.
And Trans Am, with the album version of a simple, stunning three chord trick, a doomy, post punk, new wave, vocoded treatment, like Phil Spector reimagined in a tin can.
