This next chapter of the music artwork "gallery of horrors" comes much earlier than I would desire. I'm getting really really worried by the huge amount of crappy, terrible sleeve covers you can find out there. Please stop...
ARTWORK ATROCITIES
Donnie & Joe Emerson: Dreamin' Wild We start with this 1979's reissue. You can laugh. Out loud. Is going to be much worse below
Dz Deathrays: Bloodstreams
Death rays, x-rays, skulls, sure you get it: not very remarkable, don't you think?
Sébastien Tellier: My God is Blue Emm... dear Sébastien, be careful with the hallucinogenic substances... Just my advice
Kelly Hogan:I Like to Keep Myself in Pain A bit disgusting, quite annoying, seriously lame
Bloc Party: Four Usual dose of zero effort in the artwork. Now in circles!
TALWST: Alien Tentacle Sex EP Graphism that fits well with the also "poor" (polite euphemism) title
After a long while, we are back with Sunday band proposals for you!
Still Corners. I recently discovered "Creatures of an Hour", debut album from this Londoners. But after their gig at Primavera Club, now I count myself among their fans. Cinematic, movie influenced chamber retro-cool pop, lush and atmospheric dream-pop recalling Beach House or Broadcast, delicate shoegaze with glimpses of synth-pop, are all perfect but incomplete definitions. This is music with a haunting, eerily beauty, condensed in Tessa Murray's breathy voice, that propels you to a melancholic and sensual imaginary place. Immerse yourself in the nicest of dreams. A must. Still Corners - Creatures of an Hour
Braids. The second band discovered at Primavera Club is a Canadian four-piece that has gathered comparisons with Animal Collective and Panda Bear with their debut, "Native Speaker". True, their experimental, psychedelic songs connect them with these names, but Braids offer a unique amalgam of atmospheres and feelings, from strange, dreamy passages, to celestial and placid moments, in which the voices, in particular Raphaelle Standell-Preston's hypnotic tone emerge as recurrent waves among the sea of sounds. Curious? Listen to the mesmerizing "Lemonade" and enjoy the ride. BRAIDS 'Lemonade' Plath Heart by Braids Braids - Glass Deers
The Andersen Tapes. Let's move to the infallible Sweden to meet Amanda Aldervall, previously at the Free Loan Investments and The Busy Band. Her last project, The Andersen Tapes, began with the single "Smartypants" on Cloudberry in 2008, and early this 2011 she released "As I Write 'Today' Ten Times", her first album. This collection of tunes shows where are in front of a woman with an unusual talent to offer perfect indiepop gems. Diverse, playful and unquestionably addictive, this album is a little precious treasure. The Andersen Tapes - Visual Explanations The Andersen Tapes - Cross Country
It was already announced during the days of the Primavera Sound Festival 2011. A misterious sort of announcement (you could read it on the back cover of the commemorative book of the Festival) I must say. Then names were rumored/made public. And, finally today, we get to know everything:
After the successful return to the Poble Espanyol during its last edition, Primavera Sound proposes a short cycle of l ive music under the name of “San Miguel presents Fly Me To The Moon". Two summer nights, during which it will be possible to enjoy a total of four performances.
The second night Thursday 28th July will have a more delicate aura with the precious folk of the elfish Joanna Newsom and the subtlety of the ever more popular Beach House.
Tickets for Thursday night already booked! Excited to have the chance of seeing Beach House live! It's going to be a wonderful summer night! Here you have a couple of special vids of the two headliners for Thursday.
