The combination of slow atmospheric swells & a steel drum is rather intoxicating. I'm not sure if I want to run around in a snowy forest or chill out on a beach during sunset.
Sounds like the Neptune is finally starting to figure out their sound issues. Can't say the same about the lighting. Be wary if you have epilepsy or any form of light sensitivity when attending a show at this place...it's over the top. Overall, the show was pretty damn rockin'. I was not expecting such a delicate looking woman to kick so much ass. Girl knows how to use a guitar, that's for sure. I enjoyed her brief stories between a few of the songs explaining where she was when writing a song, and the mix of both new and old tracks (especially since I'm still more attached to Actor than the new album right now). Highlight of my evening was hearing this song live.
Courtesy of Fact Magazine today Massive Attack and Burial have teamed up for a collaborative two-track single, crafted and released by The Vinyl Factory and Inhale Gold.
I saw this girl open for Esben & The Witch at the Tractor quite a while ago. It feels weird to call her the opener when it didn't even feel like a show to begin with. It was more like hanging out in your friends living room where some chick with a looping machine happened to be singing. The tiny crowd was silenced once she started layering upon layering her own voice. You could easily put her in categories with Austra & Zola Jesus but there's something more angelic about her that them.
