L'indepen-dance N°1623

"Blues No. 4" is one of the seven mesmerizing pieces from Loren Connors' 1990 masterpiece, "Blues: The 'Dark Paintings' of Mark Rothko" -- an LP originally released on Connors' St. Joan imprint in a handmade edition of 300 copies. Family Vineyard is reissuing this album on May 12, 2015. For this reissue, engineer Taylor Deupree restored the audio to Connors’ specifications of how these instrumentals were intended to sound. Cover art is an untitled 1969 Rothko work -- a painting that influenced the album.  More info: http://family-vineyard.com/products/blues-the-dark-paintings-of-mark-rothko

Astrobal - Australasie

"Astrobal, nee Emmanuel Mario, burst onto the scene in his native France through collaborations with some of the country's most cutting edge artists, including Iko Cherie, Holden, and Arnaud Fleurent-Didier. Most notably, his work with Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier left an indelible mark, rendering some of the most singular work from the iconic French chanteuse."

"Our blood runs hydrous with the seas/The essence of oceans spills through our veins." Laetitia Sadier matter-of-factly unfurls these words on the title track of Astrobal's first full-length, and they prove prescient. The album is aqueous, each track a slow wave building before a momentous crash of sound, with clean lines and fluid form. Symphonic strings and ethereal ambient washes are married to buzzing synths and Astrobal's crisp, crackling drums.

Take opening track "Everybody Loves the Sunrise": building slowly from Eno-esque synth gauze and swelling strings, it gradually layers in flutes, ricocheting drum snaps, and rubbery bass, crescendoing in a lush wall of sound before returning to its calm, Sunday morning peacefulness. The funky flipside to this opening chill is the strutting cool of "Isao & IO." Floating in on a laidback, Shuggie-Otis-on-quaaludes groove, Astrobal's wispy, French-accented vocals glide through crackling keys and chopped acoustic guitar, creating a melodic haze to get lost in.

Though eclectic, Australasie never feels less than a cohesive vision, with the guiding principles of texture and fluidity uniting the disparate threads. From the lounge-y slink of "Rubycon" to the hymnal warmth of "Trois Beaux Oiseaux du Paradis," Astrobal creates a universe one can swim around in; from start to finish, it is of a particular mood, all beholden to the vibe. It is an assured first full-length from an artist who has put in the time to find himself and build his own world.

Varðeldur

The lead single from the expanded reissue and first-time vinyl release of Japanese musician Hisato Higuchi's startling debut. When "She" was self-released in 2003, Higuchi had been writing and performing his style of “Tokyo laborer's blues” for a decade. The delicate song textures of "She" capture the utter feeling of loneliness and a sleep-deprived mind staring off into a blurry urban sky.

She LP/CD/DL to be released Sept. 22, 2017 worldwide.

Hisato Higuchi - Girl Sister

A trois voix, dont les rencontres et les jeux ont des justesses et des explorations jubilatoires, voici trois musiciens polyvalents et polymorphes - Julie Gasnier, enfant terrible, voix remarquable d’insondable beauté, pleine de devenir, grain de folie sensible - Armelle Pioline, inrockuptible, authentique, complète, du Velvet à Lithium, de Françoise Hardy à aujourd’hui, brillante, d’une poésie textile, subtile, comme sa voix - Michel Peteau, cheval fou, apaisé, mais bouillonnant, aux traverses d’horizons et aux parcours de cosmos démultipliés, autour de fils à plomb géniaux - qui nous rappellent, à chaque écoute, à chaque rencontre, à chaque occasion, que la musique est un art vivant, qui vibre, joue, palpite, bien au-delà de sa seule fixation numérique, à travers treize bijoux pop pleins d’éclat et de maîtrise, qui sont autant de lanternes, célestes, magiques, étranges, et de polygones extatiques, que l’aventure de cet émouvant trio porte, aussi brillamment, sur scène - avec une liberté, aux profondeurs célestes et abyssales, et des accents, rock, folk, synthétique, expérimental, psyché, jazz, toujours étonnants - qu’en studio.
Cette pop a une longue et riche histoire, bien vivante - encore toute constellée de talents, confirmés, au long cours, naissants, émergents - il serait bon de lui et de nous offrir, outre sa singulière trajectoire, sa surprenante actualité - promise à nos avenirs.
Avec cet angle, en tout cas, elle ouvre sur un des albums et des groupes de l’année.

DUO PARISIEN DE POP MINIMALISTE ET JUBILATOIRE
LABEL : MARELLE MUSIC

Been blogging, music sharing, etc. for a while now (see blog under this name) & DJing since 1982. I like all kinds of music.

Most of my playlists are not organized & just hold songs I'm interested in, many of which I haven't listened to yet. The "freeform current listening" playlist is as it says & will be updated regularly. Many of my reposts were unintentional, they were just random tracks I was trying to add to a playlist using my phone & I've got clumsy fingers.
