E17 - Fia Fiell: Quiet Sounds of Australia

"Quiet genius" might seem like a trite platitude to bestow a pop musician, but there are fewer more deserving of the title in the 20th Century than Prefab Sprout's now retired songwriter Paddy McAloon. 

The true centre of the band, McAloon's musical arrangements, which playfully interpret country, rock'n'roll, synth pop and more, are at once heartwrenching and inventive. His famously wry lyrics, which import the deep interiority and experimentalism of midcentury novelists to three-minute pop songs, defy easy comparison. 

Experience unalloyed pop joy, with two hours of Prefab Sprout.

The NTS Breakfast Show w/ Flo 020124

In a [2011 New York Times article](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/magazine/the-fierce-imagination-of-haruki-murakami.html?pagewanted=5&ref=baseball), Murakami estimated that he owns 10,000 records, but was too afraid to count. Music is elemental to the atmosphere of the stories he creates, his works filled with quotations, references and inspiration from the music world; even entire novels are structured around musical pieces, as with 1Q84. 

In this Guide, NTS collects just a few of Murakami's classical references found in his novels.

Khotin - your name on a grain of rice

For the third instalment of “Cowboys And The Sounds Of,” an Editorial mix series from longtime contributor @napmusick , we’re treated to the sounds of sad country music and trains passing by. The combination is unexpectedly heart-wrenching, as if the sound of trains bring us back to an era of long goodbyes and far distances. Three years in the making, Rincon’s two hour collection of cosmic country and folk is a testament to the enduring heartbreak and beauty of the genre. 

Daniel Rincon makes music under the moniker @napmusick ,  is one half of Ambein Baby and La Fe, and runs an experimental electronic label @sonidoisla out of Montreal.
