leifur james presents a mixture of jazz, psychedelia, klassik, blues, electronica and folk

as dancefloor-friendly as it is mystical, bienaventuranza is as chancha as it gets- with elements from cumbia to dancehall to andean folk to global house, crystal clear production, and collaborations that are evidently natural and genuine, the record holds true to the sound that canale has played such a huge part in creating. from a new generation of producers to more listeners in unassuming parts of the globe, pedro has been humbled to see the sound develop- and proves with this album that he s grown swiftly alongside it.

driven by a vicious and visceral soul, the buttshakers are known for their fierce and fiery music. yet after nearly a decade of touring and recording, it was with a different musical vision that they approached sweet rewards, their first collaboration with underdog records. accustomed to the raw, primitive sounds of 60s garage rock and the crude sexuality of premotown soul music, a sound they could have continued to dig into again and again. instead, they decided to take another route: a creative shift, a return to a style of soul music that no longer has to rely on pure energy alone. exceeding the limitations imposed by their tight yet powerful six person lineup, they opened up this studio session to fully accommodate their ideas and concretize their musical ambitions: a larger horn section creates a richer, scintillating sonority, a touch of slide-guitar opens their creative universe to the open spaces of the far west, the organ vacillates between psychedelic drapery and heartfelt gospel tones, all of this supported by the wicked groove of a percussionist driving the beat on. their sultry and soulful frontwoman, ciara thompson, is here for the first time supported by backing vocalist. an occasion for her to indulge in a few call and- response chorales, a reverence to a gospel background instilled in her from her native st louis (missouri), a still vibrant heritage from the city that cradled jazz, blues, country and folk music. ideal for a sound that never lets down yet remains intuitive to the gradual rise of emotion each song demands. with each new listening, sweet rewards reveals something new to the listener: another dimension, a hidden layer.

britischer folk-troubadour richard dawson legt neues album peasant vor! der gitarrist und sänger richard dawson genießt bei sich zuhause in newcastle legendenstatus im bereich des progressiven folk. ende 2014 legte er mit seinem ersten domino-album nothing important ein inbrünstiges mammut-werk vor (4 songs, 45min laufzeit). hörer dieses albums verstanden schnell, dass der scheinbar schüchterne titel nur mit einem großen augenzwinkern zu verstehen sei. das spex-magazin ernannte nothing important kurzerhand zum album der ausgabe (nov 2014). man dachte, dawson könne dieses musikalische statement schwerlich toppen. auf seinem neuen album peasant beweist er das gegenteil. aus bipolaren song dekonstruktionen wurden folk-bronzen ganz neuer qualität (ogre). seine minimalistische wucht wurde mit fast biblischen chören aufgestockt (weaver). und die atonalität ist mit hilfe von so imposanten wie feinfühligen arrangements in richtung geschmeidigkeit verschoben (beggar). die epischen songs mit Überlänge aber sind aus dawsons song-universum natürlich auch auf peasant nicht wegzudenken (masseuse). es wäre falsch zu behaupten, dawson hätte an schrulligkeit und scharfen kanten verloren. die wird man ihm nie austreiben können. peasant jedoch wird eine neue welle von dawson-anhängern mit sich bringen. er ist und bleibt ein britischer troubadour, wie es ihn nur einmal gibt.

bristol-based illustrator and musician adam higton welcomes you back into the mossy realm of the cosmic neighbourhood. with each song acting as a response to a series of paper-and-scissors compositions, collages ii documents the daily goings-on of an imagined world. sonically, this record straddles new and old, taking modular electronics, flutes, bells and softly pattering drum machines, before colouring them all with the amber glow of some forgotten, psychedelic kids tv programme. higton s benign toots and echoing jingles bring to mind daphne oram s early delay experiments or the meandering playfulness of tom cameron. radiophonic and time-worn, it still somehow sounds like the future.

zwei jahre sind mittlerweile seit ihrem debutalbum >reverence for fallen trees< vergangen. nun veröffentlichen die niederländischen folk rocker von the black atlantic ihre neue ep >darkling, i listen<

songs of leonard cohen is his 1968 debut, and it is filled with songs about the dynamics between men & women, but not necessarily about love. they deal more with the constant struggle between the sexes. on it are some of his most-loved songs such as *suzanne*, *sisters of mercy* and *so long marianne*. pressing on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

zach condons music often parallels the exotic mysteries of world travel. since beiruts last album, 2007s the flying club cup, sang a love-letter to france (with a 2009 stop-off in mexico for the march of the zapotec ep), many asked where his songs would voyage next, but few predicted the inward journey condon takes on the rip tide, an album with the most introspective and memorable songs of his young career. recorded in upstate new york, brooklyn and, of course, condons hometowns of albuquerque and santa fe, the rip tide marks a distinct leaping off point for beirut. beginning life as small melodies conceived on piano or ukulele, the songs were built upon by the entire band in the studio before condons paring down and retrofitting. the results sound like they were recorded in a single session, with exciting rhythms matching the upbeat horns and contrasting the mournful strings. no direct geographical affiliation was exhumed - rather, the style that emerges belongs uniquely and distinctly to beirut-one that has been hinted at all along. lyrically, condons deep honesty outstrips the simplified nomadic troubadour image of his past. the tracks speak of love, friendship, isolation and community, touching on universal human themes that are less fabricated stories than impressions of life at a quarter-century of age. this dramatic shift expands beiruts palate without weighing down the music. -santa fe-, a jumpy ode to the town of his youth, is the best pop song he has written yet. of particular note is -goshen-, a torch song that wraps itself in condons delicate piano phrases at a level of intimacy never heard before on a beirut song. the performances of the band-perrin cloutier on accordion, paul collins on bass, ben lanz on trombone, nick petree on drums and kelly pratt on horns-are spot on. with contributions by such esteemed colleagues as violinist heather trost (a hawk and a hacksaw) and sharon van etten, the rip tide reveals greater levels the more the listener explores. and one need not even travel very far.

turkey is often referred to as the meeting point between east and west, a statement verified by this selection of choice turkish grooves. the western rock, psych, funk and jazz influences that began to be incorporated into traditional turkish sounds during the late 60s and 70s can be heard here, as the anadolu pop sound of turkeyma balanced these new elements with the complex sounds and rhythms developed over many years. all tracks are referenced from their original 7 inch releases, painstakingly tracked down from various sources in and around istanbul. the marriage of these styles is original, captivating and bound to freak you out.

one wouldnt imagine that a died in red wool socialist agitator and spiritual offspring of woody guthrie would be able to make serious inroads in modern rock radio, but billy bragg did indeed slip onto some playlists with 1991s dont try this at home. working with a full band (the smiths johnny marr and r.e.m.s peter buck and michael stipe are among the guests) with bits of brass and strings shading the arrangements, bragg came up with a surplus of hooky songs highlighted by the minor hit sexuality. conflict both personal (you woke up my neighbourhood, accident waiting to happen) and political (everywhere, gods footballer) intertwine among these 16 songs in customary bragg fashion. ultimately, dont try this at home stands as one of braggs most accessible efforts.

one of rough trades island 50th anniversary selection - 50 crucial titles, specially selected by us to highlight the unique contribution this seminal label has made to british music since 1959. the results of nick drakes solo sessions were as harrowing and stark as anything by robert johnson or charley patton. enclosed in an inner world of psychological distress, drake recorded pink moons dispatches from a private hell that was simultaneously terrifying and beautiful. both the lyrics and the melodic motifs are pared to the bone here, their simplicity making them all the more immediately striking. the most nakedly emotional and disturbing moment is probably parasite, a visceral but mysterious account of a disconsolate soul roaming through the world in search of succor, with drake taking the starring role, ultimately offering, take a look, you may see me in the dirt. this was the end of the road for nick drake in more ways than one, but just the beginning for the scores of songwriters subsequently inspired by his bleak but beautiful visions.

charles spearin is a founding member of do make say think and indie rock collective, broken social scene. spearins latest venture - the happiness project - began when he invited neighbours over to his house for casual interviews vaguely centered around the subject of happiness. he wanted to see if he could blur the line between speaking and singing and write music based on these accidental melodies. guest performers include: kevin drew (bss), evan cranley (stars), justin small (do make say think). the result is a beautiful and unique collection of songs, blissfully blurring the lines between jazz, folk, indie rock, and inspirational improvisation.

there is an ocean that divides and with my longing i can charge it with a voltage thats so violent to cross it could mean death - if you have ex pat australian scott matthews second album in your hands, then the first impression is the guinness book of records like title. in contrast to his simply self titled first album, the records title is characteristic of the new material. in the hope of not sounding pretentious, the title serves as a symbol of a more detailed approach, as well as conveying age old themes of longing, love and loss. starting as a poem, scott tried in vain to set these words to a melody. he invited his piano player and collaborator on the song there is an ocean that divides marisol limon martinez to whisper the words along with native japanese speaker chie tanaka. the result was one of the most impressive moments on the album. consequently, there is an ocean that divides deserved to be in a place of such prominence. it seems as though there is an organic development to each song, a natural growth which gives them ease. stylistically, the album seems more diverse with a broader spectrum of influences without losing the strengths of the acclaimed first album. brass and bold string arrangements, a choir and a few mid tempo songs are featured along with the expected intimate folk inspired moments.

if any of the moment producer earns the right to tinker with a sacred cow like dylan, its mark ronson. he has taken the folk rock icons blonde on blonde classic most likely you go your way (and i ll go mine), recorded in nashville in 1966, and made it sound like it was recorded in motown around the same time - except with a heavier beat. it shouldnt work but it does. limited and numbered 7inch.
