Bandcamp Hunting #3 - 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...

Chandeen - Blood Red Skies

Seems that you can still hear good Alternative New Wave music made in Germany. Chandeen are working together since 1990, saying that they are inspired by Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno and Cocteau Twins what made me listen and enjoy their music as well

Eva Kinnebrew - Kinetic Friction

Eva Kinnebrew is making bitter sweet Folk songs with acoustic guitar and her soft wonderful voice. I listen to it late at night and it might be one of my favourite "Before sleep" records. She describes the album as various thoughts about travel and "home"...


There's Talk - Tiny Strands

I didn't know that there's something called Electronic Folk until I heard this short EP of this San Francisco based Trio. The voice of Olivia Lee is haunting and fits the simple production of this EP. Don't miss it!


Cavalier In Clay - Bulb [Single]

This is the first single from upcoming second album of Brady Sklar, which will be called Appalechia. Brady is making Folk Rock songs and draws his inspirations from John Denver and Johnny Cash to Wilcow and Bon Iver. I liked it and I'm waiting for the full release

Urban Rescue - Listen Empty B-Sides

This is a collection of four acoustic B-sides from an album with the same name which was released on 2012. I like the voice of Jordan Frye as well as the beautiful minimalist production of this release. Hoping to hear about them in the future

Well Kept Secret: 25 Years To David Sylvian's "Secrets of the Beehive"

If there was a prize given to the most tormented singer, it seems that David Sylvian, formerly the leading singer of Japan, would be one of the strong candidates (EELS and Mark Kozelek). 25 years ago, on 7th of November, 1987, he released his highly acclaimed fourth album called Secrets of The Beehive. Mostly acoustic and down-tempo, Sylvian draws beautiful songs coloured by his wonderful voice, taking the listener into a magical world of Mythological characters and beautiful landscape. I've chosen five songs of that album, but my favourite, Orpheus, became one of his greatest hits so you must hear it at least....

1) September 

In 5 words: Feeling the cold wind blowing through
Favourite line: We say that we're in love while secretly wishing for rain

 

2) Orpheus

In 5 words: Great mythological metaphors of Orpheus
Favourite line: But we feel secure against such mighty dreams, as Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring

 

3) The Boy With The Gun


In 5 words: Staring at the barrel of a gun
Favourite line: A grudge held from his childhood days, as if life had loved him less

 

4) Promise (The Cult Of Eurydice)


In 5 words: Silent ballad to fall asleep with
Favourite line: And when the lightning starts the secrets in her heart merge within the rain patterns

5) When Poets dreamed of angels


In 5 words: An unsolved question about poets' dreams
Favourite line: When the poets dreamed of angels what did they see?
