Playlist 479 - Feb 20 2018

A couple of surf references in this week’s show which is nice on the cusp of winter/spring.

La Luz are a 4-piece from Seattle (or I’ve also seen LA) and their tune ‘Cicada’ is a brilliantly propulsive piece of surf noir, that’s what they’re calling it.

Sven Libaek soundtracked a surf documentary in 1968. Here we had the wonderful theme from that OST which sounds a little like The Byrds gone lounge. (What a lost opportunity says you.)

Also Nightports with Matthew Bourne making beautiful piano (re)shapes.

Tune Yards going full soul diva on the excellent ‘Heart attack’.

Brickwork Lizards carving a space for Egyptian fusion in Oxford.

And a little Petula Clark to show everyone how to make perfect pop music.
