It’s Friday and as you, my dear readers, are used to, here is a Top 5 of the artists that I listened to most this week.
1. Ólafur Arnalds – Lag fyrir ömmu
‘Lag fyrir ömmu’ is Icelandic and means Song For Grandma. This song is from an album called ‘living room songs’ (2011). I like the idea behind these sessions…
I listened to a lot of ‘neo-classic’ music this week. (I hate those labels… why does everything need to be labeled? I will never understand that – Cathy the rebel!) It’s beautiful and soothing and while people may say, that it’s a sad genre, I can’t agree. I haven’t been this serene, but at the same time touched, in a long time.
2. Fabrizio Paterlini – week #8
This is from an album called ‘autumn stories’ (2012), it’s an amazing album. And this gives me the chills. There’s nothing more I need or want to say.
3. yndi halda – dash and blast
This is the opener on the EP ‘Enjoy the bliss’ (2007)
4. hammock – how can I make you remember me?
from the album ‘chasing after the shadows… living with the ghosts’ (2010)
5. blueneck – sawbones (live)
it’s Blueneck!!! admittedly, one of my favorite post-rock bands (label again!!) This amazing song is from the brilliant album ‘Repetitions’ (2011)
This was short, I know. No useless non-sense blabbering from my part and with this kind of music, I don’t think it’s needed.
and as I see the fog slowly lift over the colored forest, the wind blows red leaf over my balcony, I sip my tea and listen to a wonderful soundtrack…
