Actually it wasn’t all that lazy, there has been so much to do. But here are some music picks for the week – don’t miss the Sister Hazel double album if you’re in the US, and the Turin Brakes track is the pick for the UK.
Loc | Title | Artist | Comments |
USA | Mamaya | The Souljazz Orchestra | Take a brisk walk with this loping world-jazz track |
UK | Leave Me In Love | The High Wire | From the stylophone opening to the subdued vocals you know it’s chill time. It gradually perks up. Not bad. |
USA | Perfect World | U-Melt | Reminds me of Pink Floyd in some ways, a pretty good chill prog rock |
USA | Album: 20-in-10 | Sister Hazel | Really good Sister Hazel sampler. 20 excellent rock tracks, the best free download in ages |
UK | Apocolips | Turin Brakes | Very good track from a reliably good band. Rich & innovative sound with a travelling pace. |
UK | Rocket (Richard X One Zero Remix) | Goldfrapp | Strong dance track that Goldfrapp fans would grab anyway but the rest of us are likely to enjoy too. |
One more thing – seems that there are downloads of the SXSW music showcase after all, assuming you have the patience for about 6Gb of torrent.
