Today’s selection of tracks is an energetic upward spiral, from gently contemplative and melodious spheres to infectious Italo disco fever, culminating in furious social criticism in a brawl of Hamburger Schule and noise punk.
Menke – Only When In Motion
It is a mystical, enchantingly gentle soundscape that Swedish multi-instrumentalist Menke conjures up in her new single Only When In Motion. A slowly flowing and mesmerising ode to movement as a necessity of life: „Only when in motion, I can feel my heart’s emotion.“ The atoms of piano, strings, percussion and deep basses artfully come together in a chillingly shimmering supernova.
Camille Camille – In a Song
There’s an elusive tension in Camille Camille’s In a Song. The Belgian singer-songwriter drives the piece forward with unwavering determination. There is the incessant percussion loop, over which the plucked guitar transforms itself into psychedelic acrobatics. And then her crystal-clear voice joins in, floating above everything, almost indifferently following the instrumental spectacle.
