With all these stories about a murder on the dancefloor going on, I also wanted to give the playlist of the week some bops. Stay with us until the after-party!
The before is an alt-rock and punk gig – that’s what I like, after all. And my favourite of the week will open it. It’s Wait and See, the irresistible romantic punk by Fräulein. What a joy to then discover the roundness of Griffin Benton’s riffs on Major Rotation, clearly brit-rock inspired. Along with some fantastic guitars, Vonnie Kyle proposes a sexy and confident blues stoner on Something More. A dash of vintage adds some brightness to it all. Comes in The Big Picture by My Lady Jane, a raw, gritty, pure rock with a strong presence.
The link with the playlist’s bops, it’s Lupe Dragon with Cruise Control. It’s followed naturally and seamlessly by Kangaroo Fight Club’s funk Sutro. And what a treat to get into the groove of Common Guys by Jane’s Party. Then, electro-swings masters Caravan Palace are back with Mirrors, and it’s already a pop classic. As for JEEN, she turns to rock inspirations for the unforgettable So What.
Now, the after party is starting with the collaboration between Saacha and Gatling, the fascinating Beside, mixing rock, pop, and electro. It just makes me want to forget about genre labels. Kate Von Heart makes a comeback to the blog with Driving You Home. It’s a moment on the road filled up with strong emotions, love, endings, and frustration, all on a soft yet gripping track. Last, but not least, Limandi closes the playlist of the week with her tender Hopin’ You’ll Be Fine, extract from her new album FUCK.IT. – a splendid break before hitting the play button again, right?
