Flutter Nowhere
Macoto Murayama, #6
We’ve been waiting and waiting for what, we have no idea, but we have some choice selections for you. Maybe it’s been a dull year for music. I’ve been focusing most of my attention on a business venture which if you’re into design and t-shirts, check it out, Red Choo Choo.
I’m really itching for Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Adam Beyer, Henrik B, Ricardo Villalobos or someone in that vain to come to San Francisco, so some FuzzyTeeth and SmellyFeet can be had from a night of sensory overload. Traditional rock shows can be moving, but there’s nothing like the give and take of a 4 hour “running man” battle with yourself. Ya feel me?
Oh well.
Burial – Fostercare - A brand new one from a person who changed the face of music, though most people haven’t realized it yet…..in the form of his own Dubstep. Trademark menacing voices, knife sharpening-like noises and everything you need to have a Halloween party in your head.
Fever Ray – If I Had A Heart – I finally figured it out. And now back to The Knife, but this Fever Ray album is dark and menacing which the videos do perfect justice, and I am slowly getting used to the vocals, but the music is a darker, more gothic version of Portishead, but for the Techno crowd. Frightening.
Andrew Bird – Lull – Sounds similar to Rufus Wainwright. I do love the line “Moderation itself can be a kind of extreme”.
Bon Iver – Re:Stacks (Live @ The Fox Theater, Oakland) – Recorded from my phone, the warmest song on an album full of songs that when heard on a cold day will make you go to the bathroon due to the sudden change in temperature.
