The Mega, Mega Playlist for 2018

Me hearties. It's a bloody miracle. 
 
How many great tracks can you get on one album? 
 
My new album Glue Moon is finally being loosed upon the world on the 2nd of November, and I thank you for your patience! I also want to thank all the genies, daemons and muses hiding in the walls, waiting to inspire us.
 
I'm so proud of Glue Moon. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as we enjoyed making it.
 
The songs on the album are written with a specific place in mind, 'Glue Moon'. It takes place in the wee hours, in the woods, by a lake, under a big pale duck egg blue/green moon.
 
Glue Moon is a positive farewell to things you can’t control. It's about letting things happen organically.

"Like a bird of prey, I will not feed it, it will not stay."

With the release of 'Seelie', CLANN welcomes us back to the world of KIN Fables - a grand scale multimedia project captained by director/producer Seb McKinnon, encompassing original music and stunning short films. This is a visual/musical project, one as as melancholic as it is epic, as haunting as it is beautiful, with plans to culminate into a feature film (currently in late stages of development). The word 'clann' comes from Old Irish, meaning family - indeed, the family of collaborators responsible for this odyssey returns with the signature ethereal vocals of Charlotte Oleena, as though singing words from an unknown or long forgotten language, and heart-wringing string performances by violinist Chloe Picard. With Seelie, they have refined their sound, while not losing touch with their cinematic arrangements, airy vocals, and trip hop/downtempo beats.

Globetrotting Texan trio Khruangbin present 'Maria También', the first single from their upcoming second album ‘Con Todo El Mundo'. Formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums; Khruangbin’s sounds are rooted in the deepest waters of world music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. Their 2015 debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s Thai cassettes the band listened to on their long car journeys to rehearsal in the Texan countryside. ‘Con Todo El Mundo’ takes inspiration not just from South East Asia but similarly underdiscovered funk and soul of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, particularly Iran.

Lyrics:

my mother told me 
one day you'll be there 
just gotta work hard 
but know it's unfair 

the rest is practice 
it's not the real thing 
the rest it practice 
it's not the real thing 

in the winter 
we burned down the porch 
i fell in love 
screaming and head first 

the rest is practice 
it's not the real thing 
the rest it practice 
it's not the real thing 

the world outside is so unforgiving 
but it opens doors i've seen before 
you cut my hair on a burned down porch 
i choose to stay here 
with you

Why Bonnie - Practice
