New Song On Sunday

 

Today's song is by DJ Koze, a German DJ, producer and label owner from Hamburg. He's known for his minimal techno sound and a lot of remixes during the last decade. Now he's back with a new album and techno purist will wipe their eyes because he turned into spherical pop sounds. 

It is a varied album that breaks with current listening habits with its playfulness and more or less poppy vocals. Perhaps one of the most beautiful experiments to be found in electronic music today. One example is Pure Love, on which Damon Albarn does himself the honor of raising his voice over a plucked guitar and an afrobeat.

Momentary Bliss

Last week I listened to Momentary Bliss, the latest release the last release by Gorlillaz. It is nothing spectacular and just what you can expect by them. More interesting is the story behind. Gorlillaz's mastermind David Albarn dreamed of an easier way to release music away from the complicated mechanisms of music business in which it lasts forever until a band has enough songs together to release an album. He decided to start a project called Song Machine where he will publish ne songs without stress, without concept, without calendar in the course of the year now and again. The first of these musical diary entry is Momentray Bliss, a collaboration of Albarn withUS-punks Slaves and British rapper Slowthai and as you can see in the video the result is an immediate, relaxed small piece of a pop song.
