Dee Dee Dangerous
The Parrot
The Parrots have breathed a new leash of life into the Madrid garage rock scene. Their songs breathe fire and though they haven’t released a new LP, any excuse is a good one to feature them here. Their 7-inch single “Dee Dee Dangerous” 7” is another slice of their power. These three nutters showcase their party animal spirit on “Gigantic trees”.
Turn blue
Black Keys
Black Keys have found what they needed to produce their new album with Danger Mouse. They have moved on from the danceable rhythms of the famous “Lonely boy” and have embraced the psychedelia of Pink Floyd on this record of heartbreak, tears, sweat and the occasional smile. The two-piece from Akron have made a well-rounded record that, however, does lose strength from the track “Fever” on.
No mythologies to follow
MO
Karen Marie Ørsted mixes electronica, soul and indie melodies on her latest album. This Danish singer appeared on the commercially successful “True” by Avicii but she has moved away from this style here and has come up with some very special songs. An intimate and mysterious record.
Nick Waterhouse Holly
Nick Waterhouse Holly
Waterhouse has stated that the film Chinatown was a huge influence on this album. He once again turns to the sounds of the 50s and 60s for his new songs and has become the spokesperson for contemporary R&B. There is a definite sense of an artistic maturity on the ten lively energetic songs on “Holly”.
