Zomes - "Loveful Heights". A roaring knowledge, charging sincerity. A jungle, lush with certainty. A green, gold rainforest, where the birds sing only true phrases. A car that drives down the silver street and stops at the crosswalk, glances trading between driver and pedestrian. We make our vows with handshakes, metal rings; why not with sound, why not with organ, or singing, or the sudden permanence of when a recording ends.
[Zomes is Swedish musician Hanna Olivegren and Lungfish guitarist Asa Osborne / buy]
Little Beaver - "Party Down". Last week was St-Jean-Baptiste, Quebec's fête nationale. Today is Canada Day. The difference between these two holidays is the difference between "Party Down" and a national anthem. Maybe that's not true. Maybe the difference is narrower than that. Maybe Canada Day and St-Jean are both a little "Party Down", both a little anthem. St-Jean is more belligerent. Canada Day is more sincere. Both mix virtue and languor - a little tipsy, a little righteous. Where does July 4 fall, I wonder? Is "Party Down" all-American? Or is it better suited for a cruise ship, moored in the middle of a warm sea...
