First thing I’ve been listening to is the new album by canadian band Destroyer Poison season , they’ve been around a while and this is a brooding album maybe a sign of what happens when you are left to grow as a band not in the mainstream treadmill of producing what is expected .To me It like everything from the 70’s that was good chucked in a bag with a bit of Jazz and you’ve something very cool and unique .The other track I have been listening to is a taster from the long awaited new album by Robert Forester the former Go betweens sing hasn’t had an album out in seven years when he had the evangelist out an album which at the time I played to death seven years ago it was on a loop on my old ipod , so I’m pleased he is back with maybe a more country sound than then but still that voice .Let me imagine you is a taster of his new album due out this week .I’ve also been listen to Ali Farka Toure old albums via spotify .
What you been listening too ?
First Aid Kit and FFS – an odd and unlikely combination!
Frank Turner – older stuff rather than the new Positive songs alum. Sid Vicious’ cover of Eddie Cochrane’s She’s Something Else!
Would it surprise you if I said I had just gotten hung up on a CD by South African journalist and writer Rian Malan? It is bluesy and folksy, reminiscent of Tom Waits and all in Afrikaans which is helping improve my hear for the language. Plus it just sounds great!
