SESSION 64: at home with rose

Jazz interlopers

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Busy week. Playlisted with only 2 hours to go! Madness.

Some of these reek of jazz. Some have been lighted infused or have dipped their toes in a pool of jazz. One just sat next to a jazz pianist on the bus. (Okay, it's a very thin thread, but too bad.)

Best finds: Glass Vaults free EP download (Sonorous Circle) and Public Guilt free sampler (thanks Daniel). Nice review of Glass Vaults EP here on Cyclic Defrost and here on Einstein Music Journal. I haven't seen them live, but I hear they are great. They'll be supporting Xiu Xiu on their tour here in NZ.

Wonderful purchase: the 3cd set of Gold Leaf Branches (Digitalis) bought off Diogenes - the ever-tempting array of digital output coming from some of the best labels around.

SESSION 39: At Home With Rose

The decade slides to an end: new music

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Mostly from 2009, but some from 2008...

I've veered away from my original intent to play experimental, and this playlist brings me back on track. Two labels predominate on tonight's playlist: Music Your Mind Will Love You (MYMWLY) (from Australia under Michael Donnelly) and Digitalis (from the US under Brad Rose). There's a nice article here on Cyclic Defrost that talks about both labels.

Highlight for me is Liz Maw with 'sedated panic stations'. It was produced in my lounge. Liz will be playing in Wellington with Evil Ocean on December 19 at Mighty Mighty for their CD release. I'll be playing some tracks from their CD in the very near future.

I'm also enamoured with the two Blue Sabbath Black Fiji tracks at the end. Their sludgy electro-squawks are both rhythmic and droney at once with skronky medicated layerings that make me feel all funny in the brain department, especially with headphones on. BSBF are Parisians Charles Lavenac and Janin Benecke. You like 'em? You can download a 2007 recording off SQRT netlabel here.
