A spiky opening this week, courtesy of Pink Kink, gives way to the lilting reggae of Lila Ike. Les Filles des Illighadad's trance-like desert blues then provides the bridge into an electronic/dance frame for the rest of the list. Floating Points set things going, and Invisible Minds add an interesting West African twist, with Cut Copy eventually providing the bridge back into the rock/pop territory of The Orielles. The Pink Kink track is a breath of fresh air, and I also like the Floating Points and Invisible Minds tracks, but Lila Ike's "Gotti Gotti" is my favourite track this week.

Standing In The Middle Of The Field

Standing In The Middle Of The Field (Ara Koufax Remix)

The trees blew gracefully in the autumn breeze as the sky turned a beautiful shade of crimson red. It echoed the glowing colour which poured from the trees and lay scattered across the forest floor. Upon the wind there was the faint sound of music, a song about a dream and the pensive wish for a season lost to the depths of darkness. It felt like this every year, autumn had shown the colours of the season once more and banished the summer far, far away. 

Al Zanders is the next to appear on the Phonica Records label. The imprint run by the London based record store has moved from strength to strength as of late having released music by the likes of Roman Flugel, Peggy Gou and many more.

There Is Rhythm

PREMIERE: Al Zanders - Song About A Dream [Phonica Records]

Anonymous new artists Invisible Minds reveal their first ever song drop ‘Yo Mae Leh’ a kaleidoscopic, shimmering dream of a track, and the start of their communication to the outside world. Taking you on a Tropicalia Safari exploration, ‘Yo Mae Leh' hunts inner bliss through the foliage of melodic micro instruments. Cascading and flowing into a harmony waterfall, set to quench the soul suffering from a sonic drought. ‘Yo Meh Leh’ could be a chant or a mantra... and we’ll find out in good time.

Invisible Minds - Yo Mae Leh

'Let Your Dogtooth Grow' was once again recorded and produced by the legend that is Marta 'bueno' Salogni. It features our first (but certainly not last) outing with the Mini Moog, which oscillates freely throughout the closing minute of the track. Furthermore, the outro to the song becomes a melting-pot of our influences, combining guitar riffs reminiscent of Turkish psychedelic musician, Mustafa Ozkent with the Moog Synth riff which is redolent of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'. 
 
Taking influence from Lanthimos’ abstruse, fictitious world where kids are brainwashed into thinking that they are confined within the boundaries of their household until their ‘Dogtooth’ falls out, the lyrics discuss how in reality, people our age face similar (albeit less bizarre) forms of oppression. 
Whilst we’re much more than a stones throw away from knocking our teeth out in order to break from the omnipresent restrictions us teenagers and young adults face, it’s still something that really bugs us as a ‘young band’! When are you gonna let us out of the house?

Let Your Dogtooth Grow is the first single from The Orielles' debut album 'Silver Dollar Moment' set for release in February 2018 on Heavenly Recordings.

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
