Blessed Feathers “American Sands, Earthly Treason”

Indie-rock&pop,

Musical fashions changes all the time, but there are some things which don’t evolve. One of them are simple songs usually labeled as “indie”, “folk” or “neo-folk”. Guitar, voice, text, simple melody and plain arrangement. In fact You don’t need more if the song is well written – no fancy studio tricks and other gimmicks.
Audience of artists like Will Oldham, Jose Gonzales or Bon Iver is specific, but this niche will always be, becouse this music doesn’t get old. And I know why, when I listen to songs as beutiful as this one. Simply brilliant.

Noon “Quest”

Downtempo, Hip-hop/Soul, ,

This is a very nice tune made by Mikołaj Bugajak – one of the best Polish hip-hop producers better known as Noon. He is an example of a person who realy knows, how to match samples and his own sounds to get great effect in new track. This tune shows that he knows which beat is proper and how to build a proper ambiance in musical productions. Theres nothing spectacular here going on yet everything is just in the right place to tell You a very interesting story.

Massive Attack “Risingson”

Electronica, ,

Yes, this track is very dark but it is an outstanding piece of music as well. For me one of the very best tunes recorded by Massive Attak and definitely the best on Mezzanine LP. These deep sounds, underlined by simple but so expressive bassline with drowsy voices of 3D and Daddy G are just stunning. It’s narcotic, addictive and yet given with such a great flow, meaty beat and top notch production. Well, a masterpiece from one of the best musical projects I have ever heard. Definitely it has it’s place in my all time hall of fame.
Waiting for more like this Wild Bunch!
