Bandcamp Hunting #1 - 5 Things You Should Hear

Only lately I started to discover the magic of Bandcamp. Since it's so wonderful and contains endless creators and music styles, I decided to "dig" for some new tunes, hoping it may give you an opportunity to listen to stuff which could have escaped from your ear... so let's go...

The No Sorrows - The No Sorrows

A six piece band from London, who released a new album on 5th of August, 2013 (that means yesterday...). You can find here Shoegaze, Folk and Indie mixed togther in a wonderful harmony...


Black City Lights - Another Life
This Electronic Duo from Wellington, New Zealand released their debut album on 6th Of August (Today!) and it seems that Calum Robb and Julia Catherine Parr are here to stay. Don't miss dark Give It Up!


It Was Romance - Boys With Girlfriends
That's might be only one song, but multi-instrumentalist Lane Moore from Brooklyn made it all alone! I find her voice similiar in some way to Beth Gibbons and Julia Holter, a great starting point


Alpaca Sports - He Doesn't Even Like You
This big band (more than ten people!) from Goteborg, Sweden are doing music for fun and it seems that they really enjoy it. It reminded me Camera Obscura and She & Him with their breezy two songs


Ozarks - Ozarks 
This album was released about a year ago but I couldn't ignore its great production and lyrics. I can locate them somewhere between Progressive Rock and Barouqe Rock, sounds timeless.

15 Years For Portishead's "Portishead"

After a great debut album called Dummy, We needed to wait about three years to hear its follower, Portishead, which was darker than the first one (Didn't think it was possible then...). Beth Gibbons (Vocals and Guitar), Adrian Utley (Bass, Guitar and Keyboards) and Jeoff Barrow (Multi-instumentalist, DJ and producer) made a great effort to bring us one more mysterious album and it worked. So here are five songs which I chose from that record, almost 15 years after its release on 30th September, 1997.

1) Only You

In 5 Words: Gibbons left the ciggarettes behind here
Favourite Line: "We Suffer everyday, what is it for; These crimes of illusion are fooling us all"

2) Cowboys

In 5 Words: Feels like looking at Marlboro's cowboy
Favourite Line: "Did you feed us tales of deceit, conceal the tongues who need to speak?"

3) Undenied

In 5 Words: Plan and simple quiet love song
Favourite Line: "Now that I've found you and seen behind those eyes, how can I carry on"

4) Half Day Closing

In 5 Words: Gibbons' filtered voice sounds great
Favourite Line: "In the days, the golden days, when everybody knew what they wanted; It ain't here today"

5) Western Eyes

In 5 Words: Fictional loops of fictional band
Favourite Line: "With Western eyes and serpent's breath, we lay our own conscience to rest"
