BAD ASS... PILLAR POINT COME ON PPL LISTEN

A top tune added to "Rock.current Tracks of the week"

While we wish we could say this is a "spooky" playlist (and there are a couple of spooky tracks), it was made more with the idea of sharing great music with fellow enthusiasts. That said, it's still a playlist worth spinning at any weekend party no matter the theme or holiday. 29 singles, 8 countries, take a listen.

Weekend Showcase - Halloween Edition

On the heels of their acclaimed 'Disco To Die To', OOFJ re-emerge with the mysterious "Snakehips". An unforeseen critical success, reviews of their debut LP spoke of "dark Badalamenti" and "Polanski terror with opaque floating vocals" - OOFJ's latest still exists in this darker, Lynchian sphere but their new single also seems to suggest the light of day-glo escaping through the cracks. The swivel-hipped "Snakehips" conjures the groovy anxiety of rubbing up against a stranger and pretending to be a stranger to someone you know. 

The duo met in New York while Jenno Bjørnkjær was working on music for Lars Von Trier's 'Melancholia'. OOFJ's distinctive, exotic sound is the perfect fusion of South African vocalist Katherine Mills-Rymer dark romanticism and Jenno's cool Danish precision - creating something simultaneously glamourous, nightmarish, and narcotic. 

The song "Snakehips" was conceived on a hot, late afternoon where the couple resides in Highland Park in East LA overlooking the mountains. Katherine sporadically started singing about ‘snakehips', Jenno was perplexed to what it meant. She explained it as, "smooth, slim and how you feel drunk. She continues, "Also my grandpa always used to call me that, "hey snakehips," when I got dressed up for something, and looked a bit provocative…a bit perverse.’ Jens made the track, making a sound of complexity to bliss out to and make out to.

OOFJ's second album will be out in the fall, which promises to sound like romance, existential fright, fantasy and intellectual abandon over a boozy brunch.

This Changes Everything//

Up here
I've been lonely
Swinging high and low
Calling from my cage

Baby
How you paint me
Free of all my flaws
I like me through your gaze

There's something about you
The way you feel tonight
There's something about you
Oh

This changes everything
All of my nights in bloom
I give in
So in love with you
Lost in your lullaby
I can't say a word
I'll never let you go cos I
Never knew a love like this

Vivid
As an arrow
I can see you found
A home inside my heart
I got shivers
Down my spine
I'm born again
To be hunted in the dark

There's something about  you
The way you feel tonight
There's something about you
Oh

This changes everything
All of my nights in bloom
I give in
So in love with you
Lost in your lullaby
I can't say a word
I'll never let you go cos I
Never knew a love like this


This Changes Everything

Eleanor Friedberger - In Between Stars

Set for release via FatCat Records tomorrow, C Duncan’s highly anticipated third album sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers and musicians for the first time. Warm and harmonically rich, Duncan delightfully juxtaposes the vibrant and wholesome aesthetic of the album with an often-darker lyrical undertone, pushing himself to refine and explore new ways of writing. As the sole protagonist of his self-carved niche, ‘Health’ sees Duncan evolve and expand its parameters in mesmerising fashion.

The album’s first single ‘Impossible’ was released in January, with Duncan combining strings and oddball psychedelic sounds. Next up, the title tracks syncopated piano rhythm and brooding vocal harmonies were reminiscent of the ‘The Midnight Sun’s’ soothing aural beauty. Last but by no means least, Duncan documents the trials of rebuilding fractured relationships on the rhythmic art-funk of new single ‘Talk Talk Talk.’ He had this to say on it:

“‘Talk Talk Talk’ about miscommunication. It’s about not realising that you’re actually on the same page as someone and how a misperception can drive you apart. However, it’s also about realising this and rebuilding bridges.”

Following the Mercury nominated debut ‘Architect’ (2015,) an it’s impressive follow up ‘The Midnight Sun’ (2016,) ‘Health’s’ soaring tapestries achieve what Duncan set out to. “With album 3 I wanted to take a more direct approach, adding even more layers but thematically and lyrically laid bare. Having someone else to bounce production ideas off was really eye-opening for me. In the past I had been very controlling about how everything would sound but ‘Health’ really showed me the benefit of working with others and made the whole process much less isolating,” he explains. Packed with fresh ideas and buzzing with invention, ‘Health’ combines syncopated art-pop piano rhythms with breezy, undulating heartbreak ballads executed with acute precision. As always Duncan has contributed all the artwork surrounding the release, and the colourful and natural aesthetic is reflected in the instrumentation and lyrics.
