Sharon Van Etten - Taking Chances

Framed is best listened to as you think about the last scene in Casablanca. 

Though Frank dons a calm face, there is no doubt of the underlying emotion behind his appearance. Framed is about his thoughts as he watches his love walk off into the gray, to get on an airplane and never come back again. It’s about the sweet, now ash tasting memories of times they shared before innocent love was torn apart by the war. It’s about the enveloping emotions of heartache, and hopelessness that threaten to crumple him. And… at the end of it all, it’s about waking up the next day and facing the world, drained of color, but with a belief that one day the color will return. 

Framed

Taken from the album “LEAVES - The Colour of Falling (performed by Efterklang & The Happy Hopeless Orchestra)” by Efterklang and Karsten Fundal (out on Tambourhinoceros on Nov 4th 2016).

Lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen:

THE COLOUR NOT OF LOVE

the colour of
not of love
the colour, not of
the colour of falling in
not of love 
of falling in
in

the colour of fall
the colour of 
green
green
falling in
jasmine

green seen in the dark
in the night 
fall with me in
the colour of green in the night
the colour of fall, of falling in love
is a leaf 

not of love
not of love
not of love
not of love
love
love

the colour of falling
the colour of falling
is love


EFTERKLANG / FUNDAL - The COLOUR NOT OF LOVE

Sissi Rada presents her debut album “Pragma”, due for release in November 2016.

It took two years to compose and produce “Pragma”, which is the answer to her self released split EP “Personae”, released in 2013. The recordings took place in Berlin and Athens with her permanent collaborator and producer, Max Trieder. The album features guest appearances from artists who have contributed in many ways to the identity of Sissi Rada: Camerata Athens Quartet, Sergiu Nastaza (solo violin), Niklas Lutterbach (soundscape) and Florian Bitzer, Sebastian Meyer and Constanze Trieder (wind instruments).

This thematic album is an attempt to highlight the sensitivity of the things that surround us. It deals with the universal word "pragma" and its various uses and delves into the psychic bond of modern man with symbols, symbolism and referentiality. Bilingual lyrics underline the multi-culture of the times and the common words our unisexual root. Music-wise, it is hard to describe the sound of Sissi Rada for the reason that pop, electronic and classical elements blend in a unique way.

Out on LP, CD and digital album via Inner Ear.

Η Sissi Rada κυκλοφορεί το πρώτο της album, με τίτλο “Pragma”, το Νοέμβριο του 2016.

Η δημιουργία του album διήρκησε 2 χρόνια και αποτελεί την απάντηση στο self released split EP “Personae”, που κυκλοφόρησε το 2013. Οι ηχογραφήσεις έγιναν στο Βερολίνο και στην Αθήνα με το μόνιμο συνεργάτη της και παραγωγό, Max Trieder. Ως guest μουσικοί συμμετέχουν καλλιτέχνες, που συνέβαλαν με πολλούς τρόπους στην ταυτότητα της Sissi Rada, όπως οι Camerata Athens Quartet, ο Sergiu Nastaza (σόλο βιολί), ο Niklas Lutterbach (soundscape) και οι Florian Bitzer, Sebastian Meyer και Constanze Trieder (πνευστά).

Ο θεματικός αυτός δίσκος είναι μία προσπάθεια να τονιστεί η ευαισθησία των πραγμάτων που μας περιβάλλουν. Πραγματεύεται την οικουμενική λέξη “πράγμα” και τις διάφορες χρήσεις της και περιεργάζεται τον ψυχικό δεσμό του μοντέρνου ανθρώπου με τα σύμβολα, τους συμβολισμούς και την αναφορικότητα. Η διγλωσσία των στίχων υπογραμμίζει την πολυπολιτισμική κουλτούρα της εποχής και οι κοινές λέξεις τη μονογενή μας ρίζα. Μουσικά, δύσκολα περιγράφει κανείς τον ήχο της Sissi Rada καθώς ποπ, ηλεκτρονικά και κλασικά στοιχεία αναμειγνύονται με μοναδικό τρόπο για να δώσουν ένα εξίσου μοναδικό genre που η ίδια ονομάζει coquettish-classical-electro-doom pop.

Κυκλοφορεί σε βινύλιο, cd και digital album από την Inner Ear.

Reward on Moozar : http://reward-my-music.com/26600 Jag vet inte vad du förväntar dig av en ny skiva med Anna von Hausswolff. Ännu mer av den gotiska, mörka och spröda balladkänslan som präglade hennes debutalbum Singing from the Grave? En serie lättnynnade melodier anpassade till samtidens radioformat? Eller något äventyrligare, farligare, mer oberäkneligt?

Det sistnämnda har funnits där hela tiden, ända sedan Anna von Hausswolff började göra sina soloframträdanden runtom i Göteborg kring 2007-08: det kraftfulla, motsägelsefulla, dubbelbottnade som fick sångerna att om och om igen ta oväntade vägar.

Men på Ceremony har själva friheten hamnat i förgrunden, i musikens absoluta centrum. Det är verkligen en radikal förändring som gör både sångerna och ljudbilderna större, vidare, djupare, flyktigare, skarpare. Musiken stiger liksom till väders, som i det makalösa slutet av ”Goodbye”, där klangerna vandrar stegvis uppåt, allt högre, i sångens egen himmelsfärd.

Konstigt att ingen kommit på tanken förut: att använda kyrkorgel som huvudinstrument i popmusik. För omedelbart när man hör det, exempelvis i de betvingande Beach Boysharmonierna som bildar grunden i sången ”Mountains Crave”, framstår orgeltonerna som lyckobringande klangrum. Ja, det är en fantastisk frihetskänsla som etableras och erövras, som om kyrkorgeln vore den perfekta synten, en fantasimaskin med obegränsade uttrycksmöjligheter.

Att genrekategorisera den här musiken känns bara dumt. Poängen är ju att sångerna tillåter sig att vara allt på en gång, och att kyrkorgeln blir själva bekräftelsen av denna komplexa och samtidigt omedelbara närvarokänsla. ”It’s all there, it’s all there”, sjunger Anna von Hausswolff, och så är det: alla tider är närvarande, den barockvärld som födde Bachs koraler och det dova mörker där de utdragna, råa droneklangerna hittar sin kraft, och här möts världarna på de mest förbluffande vis.

Musiken säger att vi är mångtydiga varelser, och det är precis så det har känts när jag gått omkring i flera månader med de här sångerna i lurarna. Sångerna förflyttar sig obehindrat från det ena till det andra, och har en märklig förmåga att glida ihop med landskapet eller rummet. Det finns en förtröstan och ett lyssnande till ljusets och tidens skiftningar, och det är detta som gör musiken så stor och stark. Den ändrar sig oupphörligt, den är helt fri.

Anna von Hausswolff - Mountains Crave

Wunderbares Debütalbum der dänischen Künstlerin Agnes Obél das sich stilistisch zwischen Katie Melua und Feist bewegt. Agnes Obel ist dem deutschen Publikum bereits über ihren fantstischen Song „Just so“ bekannt der von der Telekom in einer ihren letzten groß angelegten Kampagnen verwendet wurde und viele Zuhörer begeistert hat – einmal gehört hat man den Song nie wieder vergessen!

Das Album zeichnet sich aus durch die markante Stimme von Agnes Obel sowie einer reduzierten Instrumentierung (Cello & Piano) die das Album zu einem essentiellen Listening Album für zuhause machen.

Agnes Obel - Close Watch

"Steps" is the result of common studies in music amongst musicians Sam Florian, Elsa Carmona and Wilma Nea. All three frequently collaborates and writes music together but this is the first track where all three is featuring.

Elsa Carmona:
"Steps" is about when two persons like each other but they never seem to synchronise. 
 I pictured when you’re running late to a party to meet the one  you  like, but the subway stopped and a million things went wrong, so when you finally get there, the person you like already left.

Sam Florian - Steps (feat. Elsa Carmona & Wilma Nea)

"Anahita" is the debut single from New York-based Wilsen. 

"Anahita" is taken from the band's self-released mini-album "Sirens" that was made available in 2013.
