misc music

* Cults - "the curse" - slow, twangy

Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright
* Dragon Fly - sad, the grey south of autumn. have I heard this before? It's amazing.
* While You Sleep - pretty hard, a bit DAAU ish
* Dried Sea - reminds me Beth Gibbons & Rustinman
* Ode To A Friend - her haunting voice is amazing here... I'm reminded of a sharp voice, but can't think of it.... A song that sounded like pure fear.
* Sound The Bells - fast, dynamic

And also: Wild Flag - "Wild Flag"
girl band, turned it off after the 2nd song. Not bad. Not good.

furthermore: Maybeshewill - "I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone"
instrumental postrock, continuous guitarriffs, fairly uptempo.

update 2011-11-04: Ode To A Friend: the song I was thinking of, is Kirstin Hersh' "The Letter"

Cults - "Cults"

sounds a bit girl-band 60's, but fun enough. Should listen better to lyrics.

Thé Lau & Yasmine - "De Partisan"

An amazing rendering of "The Partisan", made famous by Leonard Cohen (but not written by him).

People say it reminds them of Ennio Morricone and it is easy to understand. The desolate soundscape, the tweaking, eternal tugging melodies in the background.

Beautiful.
