18-10-2014: Track Emily Danger - Peace Arch
Emily Danger calls this Dark Cabaret Rock: a perfect fit for her music. "Peace Arch" is a great melodramatic track with 80s synths and long slow screams over laidback drums. I love it.

17-10-2014: Album The Slow Clock - The Slow Clock
This fine record is the solo-project of Chinup-frontman Harmen Kuiper. The band is slowly working towards releasing their new record, meanwhile Harmen has released this album. It's a really fun and relaxing record, perfect for lazy Sundays or slow Fridays. While we're desperately waiting for the weekend to begin, this is a fine album to get in the mood.
Songs like these remind me of the older work by The Strokes and much similair up-tempo popbands from that time and era. There was a whole wave of fine bands playing happy, care-free tunes back in those days and The Slow Clock would fit in perfectly. There's not a song on this record clocking over 3 minutes, making this a high speed record that is over before you'll know it.
I don't know what this new record of his full band is going to sound like, but if it's anything like The Slow Clock I'm already extremely interested. Considering this is just an "in-between-release" I can't wait what they'll be releasing next. For now, let's enjoy Perfect Friday Music.

13-10-2014: Monday Morning Kick-Off Dom Flemons - But They Got It Fixed Right On
Original up-tempo country by Dom Flemons. They look like they're having a lot of fun and the song has the same happy sound. Perfect for another Monday Morning Kick-Off, may your week be as fine as this song!

05-10-2014: Must-Have of the Month Coyote Armada - Crime Wave
Let me sum up this record in 3 words: 37-minute addiction
There's a first time for everything, so here's the first time two albums by the same artist are given the honour of being my personal Must-Have of the Month. This months recommend record is Crime Wave by Coyote Armada. This debut album is the follow-up to their Kye Oats EP from last year and it's a great record.
Addictive. As. Fuck.

03-10-2014: Track Brooke Bentham - We'll Be Ghosts
There's a lot of reasons I might be playing this song later tonight. With candles burning and the music gently playing while my girlfriend and me are watching the fireplace-dvd she brought with her last time she was here and 'accidently' left behind. Or maybe we won't be really watching the 20-minute love story about a piece of wood slowly dying and spend the entire evening kissing instead. In both scenarios I expect this beautiful song to fit in great! Because the main reason this song by Brooke Bentham will be playing tonight is the intense beauty of it. And it helps romance. A little. I hope.
