We told you. We had plenty in our music vaults. So we begin October (an important, decissive October for this humble Blog writers) with a spectacular TOP TEN JUKEBOX (sorry, no time for being modest). Because we have gathered some very dear voices such as Courtney Barnett (eager for the new album), new favourites like The Umbrellas or Ducks Limited, with several discoveries that deserve a careful spin. A most complete, full of wonders playlist. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and remember to join us at our Soundcloud page!
As Nietzsche would say "life without music would be a mistake". And in case someone didn't fully agree, in this year of pandemic, big headaches and collective madness, this statement has completely made sense. Music and creativity have made akwardness and surrealism a little more bearable and understandable (as a matter of fact, it always has) and what a better way to prove it than letting yourself be embraced by the warm vibes of our latest TOP TEN JUKEBOX. Have a good Sunday, and remember to join us at our Soundcloud page!
November has arrived loaded, as tradition dictates, with chestnuts, sweet potatoes and 'panellets'... although this year is (quite obviously) different for everyone. Whatever the situation, we couldn't leave you without a playlist to accompany this weekend's autumnal celebrations. Our latest TOP TEN JUKEBOX is again moody, and full of new, exciting groups, awaiting for you to be discovered. And alongside the newbies, and too lift up your spirits a bit, a very special version of a The Cure gem by, no less, Mr. Berninger himself. Have a great Sunday (vote to kick out the bastard if you are in the States) and an even better beginning of the week. Oh, and remember to join us at our Soundcloud page!

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

Back to the blog after being abducted for the last 5 days, thanks to the Primavera Club 2011 (PC2011). I'll be posting quite a few about the Festival in the next days (you can already check the chronicles I already wrote in Spanish) of it , but for now, here's a playlist of songs from the bands I watched during the previous week. Majority of them are the best ones I heard (in my opinion, of course) during their gigs, but Tigercats' tune and Villarroel's and Capitán's additions were the only ones I was able to find on the web. Enjoy!
If Sunday is Elbow's day, next week is even more full of music. The press accreditation arrived on Wednesday, so I'm glad to announce Bloodbuzzed will be covering the Primavera Club 2011, from November 23rd to November 27th.
