#122 We Could Go Forever

Ok, so I got a few good tracks from the past week, some dub/electro stuff, if I have to label them myself. Anyhow, they are a good solid basis for very chilled and relaxed weekend! The reason for the post is a track by Bonobo which shuffled on my winamp (yeah, I know - its pretty old school) - We Could Go Forever!

Next in the pocket, there's an French DJ introduced to me by a close friend of mine and by my surprised, he has used Bulgarian samples in his track, which personally grabbed me immediately - check it out, the tune is way above decent... Fumuj - Pollie.

Finally (that structure reminds me of one of those TOEFL essays, firstly, secondly ....) I just randomly got this from my youtube section, nevertheless me gusta! Quantic - We got soul

#121 Let's throw in some songs for the sake of throwing in things

And it's late night's out-of-nowhere-urge to share a few links. However, my tiredness prevails over my brain so I'll be quick and make your life easier - enjoy the three, kind of different songs, I've been playing the last few days. Hopefully, someone would like ..something.

Pinback - Barnes

Ben Howard - Call me maybe (ps. I find the original impossible to listen...)

Sysyphe - Sinking

#120 Lucidity

I've been waiting for the release of the album I'm about to quickly present you for a long, long time...meaning years. Frankly said, I will be quite biased in my comment because it is the second album of one of my closest friends. His name is Daniel - a great friend, multi-instrumentalist, producer and a musical inspiration (to me)... and  on top of that he is quite young given his musical maturity.  The guy plays ....God knows how many instruments and sings quite well (which you will hear in the album). Heptagram - a one-man project is his and it totally kicks ass.

Basically, the album Lucidity is recorder by him with the assistance of a few other musicians - you can hear very interesting combinations between the usual rock instruments and saxophone/kaval (a traditional Bulgarian instrument). You can find out more about it at his bandcamp site! Also, you can download the whole album for free or decide how much are you willing to pay for it - it is up to you. As far as I know from my personal conversations with him, he just wants to spread the music out there and... its for whoever you like it.

Regarding the album, I had the opportunity to listen to it 3-4 times and now I'm focusing on abusing the replay button of specific songs, but of course it is up to you whether you are going to like it. My only piece of advice and personal recommendation is to listen to it once from the beginning to the end - you won't miss out. Even if it is not your cup of tea, the album is pretty diverse in my opinion - there are various musical genre influences which you can find through the songs.

ps. my personal favourites so far are Boundless, Ten Foot Samurai, Heritage and Lucidity... just for the record ;)

#119 This Head I hold

As I said in the previous post I'll try to be a bit more active as I've neglected the blog slightly in the past few months. However, I didn't waste my time so there are some pretty interesting tracks on my mind which I would like to share with you guys! Also I am planning on expanding the Promising Artists section with evoking bands I came across with lately!

The daily urge to share was because of Electric Guest - This head I hold, absolutely brilliant band and track can brighten up any gray and dull day (my humble opinion..)! I guess they are classified as indie/electro pop but the song sounds quite funky... personally I'm quite eager to check out their other stuff, but first I need to abuse the replay button on youtube ;)

Besides them... I guess I would throw these stuff in the melting pot - Raphael Saadiq - Big Easy and Purity Ring - Loftcries

I hope you liked the music and if you do - pass it along, would be highly appreciated! :)

#118 One hour before the trip /post-rock/

 I wrote the post few days ago (the italic part below), but I had no access to Internet so...here it is now, a few days later. I guess it turned out quite the post-rock post! By the way the purpose of the trip wasn't accomplished but...it was an interesting experience and I guess it gave me some food for thought to write in the future...and motivation! So I hope I am more active in the upcoming weeks! Salut.

So, I guess it will be one of those posts where I kind of pour my thoughts into the screen. For some reason feels the only possible and appropriate place at this very moment. And I definitely have the urge of pouring out the things I've got on my mind. Anyhow, tomorrow I'm leaving on a short trip the outcome of which would determine so many things in my life ...at least in short-term period, although I guess it would influence my life in general. It's a huge thing. And I really want to succeed. It feels (which deeply I realize is not correct) like the only possible next step for me. So, I'm not gonna lie that I feel a weird feeling in my stomach, like I've been punched. Then again, at least its a feeling. Ok, I'll go and do what I need to do. You? You can enjoy the songs I've been listening tonight, listed below.

One hour before the trip - Vagabond

Hammock - The Silence

[The] Slowest runner [In all the world] - As the Sea Swells She Bleats and Moans Like a Goat in Heat
