I love this; another very small artist I found recently.
Music Video
Marรญa Josรฉ Llergo – Me Miras Pero No Me Ves
Wow, esto estรก chido, algo discordante y con un aire inquietante.
Shakespears Sister – I Donยดt Care (Top Of The Pops 1992)
Marcella Detroit’s (the tall one with short hair) vocals are so insane. She sings things live most singers would not even attempt. Half of her part of the song she does in whistle register. Just what the fuck.
I’m sad I did not get to see them live back in the day.
Fazerdaze – Cherry Pie (Live on KEXP)
I don’t usually like songs this, for lack of a better word, “smooth.” But this one has a nice feel and progression.
Also, really nice lighting here. It looks a bit cinematic.
Unknown Error – The Cruel Earth
This is the coolest little-known thing I’ve found lately in my scouring the earth for good music.
Grooved
That’s the stuff, right there.
Blu’s playing reminds me so much of Stevie Wonder’s long-time bassist, Nathan Watts. Compare and contrast what Blu is doing with what Nathan does in a song like “Contusion.”
She’s always playing around with counter rhythm in a way that is so brain-breaking that someone can do that so musically.
BIG|BRAVE – I felt a funeral
This is not like a single other thing I’ve listened to recently; I like it a lot.
Deep Sea Diver – Shovel
Great song, with strong Kate Bush vibes.
็พๆๅญฆ- ใใจใคใฌ
Such a pretty song. I’d rather the video was of them performing or similar, but hey, it’s hard to complain about a vid of attractive Japanese women goofing around. There are worse things.
Never Blue Always Blu
I am sorry Blu had to sell her soul to be able to play bass like that, but at least we all benefit from her sacrifice.
And bonus fun. Vertical and too short but still great:
goat Life – ๆฐดไป
Good song. Alas other than a few words, I can’t understand Japanese. But I like their sound a lot.
Madeline Goldstein – Dreams
This is the weirdest shit I’ve found lately that I’ve actually enjoyed. I like the atonal strangeness and repetition.
Karen C.
One of the best drummers of all time. How do you play drums like that and sing at the same time? And there were no click tracks in use back then. Some things I realize I could probably never do.
Spot Cover
That’s pretty impressive. Cool to see them re-build the song. I think it’d be better if it were a little more shoegaze. That outro is fire, though; wish it were a lot longer.
Kitten – I Did It!
Fun song. And if you’re wondering why the bass sounds so awesome in this one, just look for a tall blonde with a blue Fender jazz bass and you will be enlightened.
