I've been enjoying Grimes late...Thanks Charles! I've been enjoying Grimes lately too, but the rest I'm delightfully unfamiliar with. Gives me lots of new stuff to seek out.Phronkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13130514499521837002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045127.post-59710994052468229432011-12-31T01:26:42.264-05:002011-12-31T01:26:42.264-05:00Dig the music of the year on the Phronk!
This yea...Dig the music of the year on the Phronk!<br /><br />This year I loved music by:<br /><br />Grimes and D'Eon, split EP Darkbloom - Grimes, the hybrid love-child of Audrey Hepburn and The Aphex Twin, teams up with D'Eon, the downtown guru of freak-mellow, for a journey into a dazzling maze of strange pop textures. <br /><br />Kathryn Calder, Bright and Vivid - Unusual pop structures that are emotionally and sonically dynamic. She also just did a great show in London ON.<br /><br />Myths - I have always sought out things that are over the top and in your face. These two women make it to winner's circle of the totally overwhelming. Check out the track Prism Portraits on YouTube.<br /><br />Woodkid - Iron EP. Epic music and video. I mean really epic, like Beowulf or The Odyssey, not epic like a lunch-break or your friend tripping over a chair. And yet, Baltimore's Fireflies just stood well next to Nick Drake in a shuffle. Remarkable.<br /><br />First 3 are Canadian. Check it out - have fun!Charles Vincenthttp://www.charlesvincent.ca/noreply@blogger.com
