If I Had A Boat

 

Kieran Hebden is back with a new record. He is perhaps better known as the head of Four Tet, his electronic playground, and for his many remixes in recent years. Now he has teamed up with William Tyler to break new ground. At the beginning of this century, Tyler was a member of Lambchop and the Silver Jews, who reinterpreted country music at the time.

In recent years, several bands such as the Nashville Ambient Ensemble have demonstrated that country and electronic music are entirely compatible. Here, Hebden and Tyler take an old song by Lyle Lovett, break it down into its individual parts and then reassemble it as if it were a single piece.

I don't want to deprive you of the wonderful original.

Over at The Swede's place you find a link to a record that is on his heavy Rotation right now. All of them are intresting and inspiring and often you can find real nuggets there. One of those is the latest record by Nashville based musician and compser William Tyler Modern Country a record that I listen often in the early nighttime when I just wanted to listen to handmade and relaxed music. He's on the Nashville Scene for many years and toured and played with Lambchop or The Silver Jews before he turned into developing his very own kind of music. I like him for the way he Plays his acoustic guitar in his very unique way. Songs you can listen to and forget almost everything what was in your mind before.



Another well record I enjoyed much this year comes by a Denish project called Western Skies Motel. Acoustic Music on a very high level. Tbey self call their Music like dry wind in the praire. And they are not far away from this. This Music could work on an old Italien Western when someone sitting on the porch, watching the dessert and waiting for someone to arrive.
