Baldruin - Kleine Freuden
https://mappa.bandcamp.com/album/kleine-freuden

Johannes Schebler's musical output is all about establishing a dreamlike territory where sonic settlements can spread at ease. While Grykë Pyje (Johannes Schebler's duo with Jani Hirvonen) presents musical landscapes as open and clear spaces, Baldruin's miniature pieces tend to narrow them down, zooming into domestic sceneries that shift like malleable rooms inside a magic building. These are the quarters where the inhabitants of Schebler's musical world are configured. 

Rendered in a tender manner, the tunes in Kleine Freuden (in English: small joys) unfold like a collection of fairy tales and bedtime stories. Fables and lullabies performed in whispering tones seem to carry us through a child's dream where images blend into each other. Compact, yet gauzy and free flowing melodies gather up revealing an ensemble of households where fanciful entities play care freely, leading us along their musical maze. The music is placid, childlike and playful. It wanders around in unwavering estrangement, organizing an unprecedented and intimate space as seen from a bird's eye view. 

In the landscape of a bedroom where the night lamp is the sun, we take part in a lively journey, as wonder is warrant and keeper of a warm and pristine environment. Perspective shifts as we rise from bed sheet folds that turn into fragile mountain ranges. We crawl behind furniture and take shelter in secret hideouts while dust falls upon us like a blizzard. Transfiguring notions of scale and time, we are left wondering how long have we been here, wondering if music is the only true measurement of time.

First mix of the new year comes from one of the minds behind the excellent Somewhere Press label, Caapi. 

"Music for moving away... the tangled fear, romance and nostalgia of solitary drifting through a new city.." imagined through sounds from between 1993-2004.

Man Rei - Where the Opaqueness Begins

310724 leaf shadow

2019 marks a decade from the release of my forever-favourite song.

Scarlet Fields (the Horrors)

Lyrics

Get you riled up with
Words that don’t mean much
You say, you say
You think they’re lovely

Well you don’t really know
You can’t really see
Replace your eyes with hands
So that you may grasp all you can
So that you may grasp all, grasp all that you can

Are you the man that you wanted to be?
Are you the man that you wanted to see?
Are you the man that you wanted to be?
Are you the man that you wanted to see?

Look in the mirror darling
Tell me what you see
Are you where you'd always thought you'd be?
Look in the mirror darling and
Tell me what you see

Are you the man that you wanted to be?
Are you the man that you wanted to see?
Are you the man that you wanted to be?
Are you the man that you...

That you wanna be?
That you wanna see?
