Damon little because of you mp3
As noted above, they’re at The Horseshoe on May 25. And back in the duo’s present, News & Observer talks to them about their new record False Beats & True Hearts is out now and available to stream. WBUR talks to Damon & Naomi about the Galaxie 500 days. Stream: Amor de Días / Street Of The Love Of Days Everyone who’s said how envious they are of my trip ought to go to this show if just to spite me.Īllmusic gets the pair to list off some of the influences on their sound, complete with video samples, while TBD talks to Núñez-Fernández. This is the sound of long days, open skies and grassy fields not necessarily what my actual trip will entail, but if it’s as peaceful and lovely as this record, I will happily take it.Īll that said, this silver lining is not without its cloud – while I am heading over to their home and native lands, Amor de Días will be coming to mine and I will be missing their show at The Horseshoe on May 25, where they’ll be opening up for fellow musical couple Damon & Naomi.
No reason except for the understated but meticulous craftsmanship thats gone into it, that is – though the instrumentation is primarily acoustic, lightly orchestrated and relatively sparse, the dreamlike atmosphere that it’s used to create is sumptuous. And though the album is about four years in the making, recorded in the downtime between other projects, it feels breezy enough that if told it was tracked over the course of a week in some countryside villa, you’d have no reason to doubt it. Which is why the existence of Amor de Días, which is the musical pairing of Clientele frontman Alasdair MacLean and Lupe Núñez-Fernández, the Spanish half of Pipas, seems like it should be the perfect soundtrack for this trip.Īs you might expect from the pairing of two artists known for delicately-rendered, beautiful pop, their debut Street Of The Love Of Days is an idyllic, gossamer-sounding collection of songs that somehow manages to sound equally English and Spanish without overtly trying (okay, the lyrics sung in Spanish was probably deliberate, but you know what I mean). And if you’ve been reading this site for a while longer, you may recall that no other band more vividly conjures memories of my last visit to the England than The Clientele. Shoko IshikawaIf you’ve been reading this site for a little while, you may have noted that as of this Saturday – rapture notwithstanding – I’ll be en route to (hopefully) sunny Barcelona for a week and then on to London for a few days as a chaser.

Man Man, Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers Lee’s Palace MP3: Caitlin Rose – “Shanghai Cigarettes” Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit, Caitlin Rose The Horseshoe I didn’t expect they’d be making another trip back before putting out a new record, but they are and if you missed that last show, want to taste some of that magic again or just have nothing else to do on a Tuesday night, then you could do far far worse than hitting up the ol’ ElMo.Īnd other shows while I’m away that are worth your attention:ĭamon & Naomi, Amor de Días The Horseshoe The quartet were here back in December for a fairly jaw-dropping set that cemented their debut Beachcomber’s Windowsill on my year-end list, not that it necessarily needed the nudge. So here’s a quick run-down of stuff that, were I not elsewhere, I’d either be at or consider being at, starting off – both chronologically and interest-wise – with Oxford, England’s Stornoway, who are at The El Mocambo tomorrow night, May 24, with See Of Bees. Instead, it’s to gently remind you that there’s still plenty of stuff of the live music variety to see right there in Hogtown this week more than is typical, I’d go so far as to say. Frank YangSo yes, I am currently abroad – huzzah – but this little dispatch isn’t meant to rub it in to those who are still back in Toronto (or wherever you might be that is not Barcelona).
