golden donna


golden donna me hace recurrir a adjetivos siempre repetitivos y aburridos, pero es que los primeros minutos de 'resnais' y 'healer cells', con ese sintetizador etéreo y planeador acercándose poco a poco en un crescendo sostenido, son tan....¡bonitos! consiguen transmitir esa melancolía indescriptible muy parecida a  'many moons' de former selves (siempre ellos, es inevitable) o 'blue orange' de j. hanson (siempre él, también es inevitable). empieza y acaba sin que te des cuenta, apenas dieciocho minutos de viaje, pero el resultado desprende una luz tan suave, cálida y mágica que incluso diría que, si hiciéramos por fin una lista con lo mejor del año, joel shanahan sería uno de los primeros en asomar el patuco

sister irene o´connor


sister irene o´connor - fire of god´s love / songs to ignite the spirit (alba house, 1976)

download

"among the sea of sound-a-like private-pressed catholic lps that came out in the 1960's and 1970's, sister irene o'connor's 1976 album stands out with its primitive drum machine and spooky, echo-laden vocals. released in 1976 on the 'alba house' label, the dual-titled fire of god's love/songs to ignite the spirit lp features several haunting and remarkable songs. in particular, the title track "fire of god's love" strikes me as so otherwordly and uniquely eerie that i wonder how far sister irene's o'connor's seeming solipsism extended beyond music." wfmu

christina carter / islaja

"Limited edition of 100 copies split 7”, only officially available direct from the label. Christina’s side is one of her weirdest tracks, a ‘protest’ song scored for multiple overdubbed voices that move from catatonic Jandek-isms through haunted choral styles. Islaja contributes a spare, intimate vocal piece with a twisted folk melody illuminated by smears of backing vocals." volcanic tongue
