Adore life
Savages
The first song on the record, The Answer, gives you an idea of what’s on the way: direct, powerful, crude post-punk. Savages are really in form, as you can hear on this disk about love. T.I.W.Y.G., When in love and Sad person are examples of the tension which runs through the whole work.
New view
Eleanor Friedberger
Following the sound of singer-songwriters from the ‘70’s, Eleanor Friedberger has chosen an acoustic sound for her new work. It’s full of songs to listen to with peace, nostalgia and lost love. But don’t imagine it’s a sad record: Sweetest girl, Open season and Because I asked you are all exciting songs
Have you in my widerness
Julia Holter
Feel you and Sea calls home give you a good idea of where this work’s come from: Julia Holter’s taken the leap to easy, light- lled pop. This record, with its dialectics between great vocal tricks and beautiful arrangements, is one of the best from 2015. It’s an easy disk to listen to thanks to the play between simple and complex structures.
Not to dissapear
Daughter
Three-piece Daughter moves between indie pop and dream pop atmospheres on its second record and also approaches the sound of groups such as Beach House. The naked songs on their previous disc, Smother, are replaced with different types of sounds such as New days and Doing the right thing. Songs to dream to.
The waiting room
Tindersticks
The group which Stuart Staples’ voice leads is as elegant as ever on its tenth record. Jazz arrangements and instru- mental tones are added to Tindersticks’ mysterious touch. On Were we once lovers? the bass is almost disco and that, along with Staples’ voice, is hypnotising. Excellent.
