Live from the streets of Toronto. Shot by Southern Souls during CMW a week and a half ago.
‘Whale Bones’ - the first song from Past Fragments - has been featured on Deploy Your Senses, a compilation of Post-Rock/Shoegaze/Ambient/Experimental music curated by the excellent Crimson Mourn. It’s a truly international effort, featuring some thirty artists from all over the world, and chalk full of stunning songs for both achy souls and soaring hearts alike.
It’s available as a free digital download; get it here.
Feist - The Bad in Each Other
Great video; one of the favourite songs from one of the favourite albums of 2011.
Bon Iver - Holocene
would love to visit someday…
Fucked Up - Queen of Hearts
“It’s about hope…”
Tinariwen & TV on the Radio - Tenere Taqqim Tossam
Holly Miranda - Waves
I love things like this. And to hear a song as dense as the album version of ‘Waves’ is stripped back to mostly-bare essentials always lends it a secondary character. The violin part and second vocal add punctuation just enough to cause it’s seeming fragility to soar far past what could end up as somewhat brittle simplicity. Amplified by the room sound, one of the most wonderful things is hearing the difference in their leaving the reverb-laden interior for the streets, complete with incidental noises, and where the sound has nothing contained to bounce off, but the song keeps it’s gorgeously minimal grandness intact.
Currently I’m working out how to do this better with some of the more involved songs from the EP, it’s always a bit of a challenge to see if it will fly, but a fun one. Tossing all of the ornamentation and seeing what lies underneath. Even revaluating how a song can feel when it’s a little more naked, and whether that can also add new angles and layers to what it means.
An exploration into a multitude of processes, creative and otherwise.
