Finally a decent track is posted on a thread that has seen standards dropping like a stone.

What?? My Sonny Clark pick was a gem, jimmy.

 One of those new fangled modern bands, that have been tickling my fancy a bit.

Cheers riggers

Surprised to hear that they are modern: they remind me of several female-fronted post-punk bands of the Eighties - which is a good thing. And the vocalist shares some tics and tropes with whoever it was on the Native Hipsters' There Goes Concorde Again. Nice spiky guitar sound, too. Excellent. Played it twice!

This one is for Darkness Fish, from an album I recently sold for £70

The silence is part of the track ?

Tremendous stuff.

You know the saying - what you don't play is just as important as what you do play.

dunno what that's about Jimmy. It's the way it came off youtube. It was the only track from the album that was there on its own.

["BING E BONG"]

YEAH, Jimmy, you daft bugger

Ooh, I made a mental note ages ago to track down that album, and I completely forgot about it. It's a lovely thing, with a kind of asian exoticism about it. He effectively created a kind of hammered dulcimer using part of a door, didn't he? Still makes me wish I knew more about actual hammered-dulcimer work from the sub-continent though. Good pick though, and like Depeche Mode, I enjoy the silence.

[DarknessFish]

And since we're all about the silence here, a track for Jimmy to stroke his chin to. Ezekiel Honig's "Drafting Foresight".

Punk's not dead in this one

I had to play this twice. On first listen, the greek sun being the dominant force in the sky ,its preferred and intended listening experience was a lost cause.

I moved inside to my shuttered apartment and found the light and quiet more to its and my liking.
There is little there, and yet.... it is all there.

This is an ambience, not a forced attempt to create a mood tho. It is a sound that can be can found as people sleep, this is a man made sound. Recognisable to us as birds singing in the day but less familiar. They pull off a seemingly simple but difficult idea, you are somewhere, you are hearing that place at night. The noise is of an unknown origin, but you hear it, unafraid. There is a beauty to it.

Thank you Fishter.

Can you nominate a track for someone? Cheers.

When your cat or dog takes to zooming around the house for seemingly no reason, when you find yourself gliding down a hill on a bike, when you feel the need to wave your arms and dance like a loon or an open empty road presents itself and you feel the car accelerate, and that rare feeling of joy and abandonment is present, you feel it in this track.

It is life affirming.

Who to give it too ?

Over to you Charlie.

[DarknessFish]

I love that Thomas Dinger album. A shame he's completely overshadowed by his brother.

[Charlie O.]

Cheers, Jimmy! It's not something I'm likely to seek out in future, but I do like it. And for a track that's nine minutes long and doesn't have a whole lot of variation, it goes by pretty quickly.

Bonus points for the dog.
