Playlist 323 - Sept 9 2014
Another extended show this week, great to have time to pull out a few old treasures, along with the huge backlog of excellent recent releases, plus music from acts on tour in the autumn.
The former category, 'Bonnie & Clyde' by Serge & Brigitte, that inspired and ageless slice of psych pop with the best ever "woo-hoo" in pop music (the giddy playfulness between them is a lovely subtext); Donnie & Joe Emerson, two Oregon farming brothers making bedroom pop sound fucking essential in 1979; and Cluster making pastoral, sky-gazing kosmische.
The latter category, Amen Dunes, bringing their beautiful 1000 yard drones to Ireland this month; likewise Sean Nicholas Savage (pic), gorgeous bedroom soul from Montreal; SlowPlaceLikeHome, fuzzy and warm electronica from Donegal; Tennis, heart-melting white soul.
And Pye Corner Audio, bringing the autobahn compellingly to English underground pop.
The second hour of this week's show had some of my favourite bands/artists - The Chills, bringing jangle pop to bear unforgettably on the male id; Big Star, making growing up in middle America sound painful but wondrous; The Kinks, kicking gloriously against the Swinging Sixties; Lee Hazlewood, legend, with partner in crime at the time Suzi Jane Hokom; and Bob Lind, laying down a template for psych pop in 1965 with some help from Jack Nietzsche producing.
Then new music from Buke & Gase, playing the Brassland weekender at NCH in Dublin in December; Martin Carr, ex Boo Radleys; Alien Ensemble, beautiful jazz tones; Schultz & Forever, intriguing plastic funk; Brother Earth, lovely low-key psych folk; and Dustin Wong & Takako Minekawa, making delirious wonky pop.
