IN MEMOIRS - "This Is The Sound" [LISTEN TO IT!]

In Memoirs - "This Is The Sound"

 

źródło: templet.dk

Total detachement from the reality. For 4:47 minutes you can forget about... almost everything. If you need a moment of oblivion - "This Is The Sound" for it. Melodious, super-light sounds. The atmosphere of a good dream. Fragile guitar chords and disarming way of pulling the strings. Morten Fillipsen - the Dane behind the soloproject In Memoirs soothes nervs with his songs.

"Sit down and relax with a cup of coffee"-pop (source: FB In Memoirs)

"This Is The Sound" invite you to dream with it, to feel a bit nostalgic... The song does it in a very well-balanced way. And with the sentiment to the classic acoustic music roots.

You can download the song for free from In Memoirs Facebook profile (remember to like the page!). You can download it, listen to it, repeat and repeat... And drawn into those calm, kind of romantic sounds...

LISTEN TO IT: LEAP OVER LIGHT - "Cumulus"

Leap Over Light - "Cumulus"

Recently, the lovely duo Leap Over Light shared two new tracks with us. One of them is a real "heartbreaker" - "Cumulus".

At the beginning the song takes us to some half-empyt bar, to the scene took from the movie "Casablanca". It makes you wanna say "play it again Sam". Than we can really fly to the clouds, tittled cumulus. But it's not a light, carefree flight.

Melancholic piano and soul-rending vocals introduce the listener to the weird state of unspoken sorrow and sadness. The song contains minimal synth sound, characteristic to the earlier Leap Over Light compositions, from the EP "Wild Oak" ojawiają się też minimalnie syntezatorowe brzmienia, charakterystyczne dla utworów Leap Over Light z EP-ki "Wild Oak" (more about Leap Over Light on "It's good because it's Danish" - click HERE).

Lyrical gem which settles in the corner of the heart and come back to your ears from time to time. "Cumulus" is a bit like a single tear running down the cheek without any reason...

ID: ROSEMARY - a bit of the dark force

Rosemary

After I gave the first listen to "Everything" on the  Ja Ja Ja Music webside, I was a bit shocked. What is this? Is it singing or screaming? And if it's screaming and squeal than why it's so melodious and why does it sound like singing? What's going on? It's the Iranian-Danish duo ROSEMARY - this is what it's all about. A bit mysterious, a bit dark, but with a special force. 

LISTEN TO IT: NELSON CAN - "Apple Pie"

Nelson Can - "Apple Pie"

 

Female Danish trio, inde-rock sounds, contagious whistling. NELSON CAN. The apple pie in the video clip will make your mouth water, as well as the tasty music.

Unconventional approach to the music - plus. The fact that they are girls and they can whistle - plus. The fact that the song stucks it your head for long (but very pleasant) hours - plus. The rhythm section which "builds" the song in 100% - also a plus. In general - everything's in the right place, smoothly connected with each other.

The song "Apple Pie" is really a piece of music which makes your mouth water for more. Nelson Can's debut EP was released in January 2012. What's next? We'll wait, we'll hear... For now - "Apple Pie" (good song to listen to during baking some tasty stuff - maybe made from apples?)

LISTEN TO IT: Asbjørn - "The Criminal"

Asbjørn - "The Criminal"

Aarhus - Danish city where Northside Festival takes place. A hometown of a musician who combine the originality of modern electronic with the delicacy of the 80's - Asbjørn. His single "The Criminal" will put you on your feet right away. The mix of hidden aggressiveness (like in the British Psychologist) with lightness of James Blake sounds.

There's something in this song which force you to dance, as well as think through your actions. Electro-pop melancholy.

Thumbs up for the way the classic piano sound is integrated with the electronic. It gaves the song the class. 

"The Criminal" can be downloaded for free  from Asbjørn's Facebook page - under this LINK.

LISTEN TO IT: Belle Ville - "Opium"

Belle Ville - "Opium"

Electro-pop is alive and is going great! For example because of a duo Belle Ville. Their EP "Opium" has 4 songs. Tittled one "Opium" is a vibrating and... sexy composition that invite the listener to the world of electronic sounds with power and grace. Thumbs up for vocals! And a big "like"  for building the tention and using the silence in music.

Sensuality of the song is also a big plus. "Opium" is a bit like a girl on a first date - intriguing, showing some of her charms, but just a little bit! So the boy cannot say no to her and aks her for another date...

P.S. On their SoundCloud profile Belle Ville uploaded interesting remixes of "Opium" (for example the on by VETO vocalist).

You can stream the whole EP "Opium" on the Belle Ville SoundCloud profile:

LISTEN TO IT: SAYBIA - "The Second You Sleep"

Saybia - "The Second You Sleep"

... and suddenly whole reality aroud kind of frozes. Saybia - "The Second You Sleep" in headphones. The song moving both lyrically and vocally. Obvious evidence sound so... simple, yet winsome in this song. Maybe a bit naive as well, but it only gain more charm to the composition. Last verse, almost wispherd words "I wish my God you'd stay" are pith and marrow of the atmosphere of the song. It's a track that you don't want to "let go" from your headphones once it got there. It sad, but also impresses.

"The Second You Sleep" invite the listener to listen to Saybia closer (for example via YouTube)

LISTEN TO IT: GREEN LIVES - "Everybody Knows Who You Are, Anna"

Green Lives - "Everybody Knows Who You Are, Anna"*

Light, soft, warm sounds. Lovely soundtack for the beginning of the day. 
Ingenious, uncommon video clip. Disarming children voices. Green Lives create carefree atmosphere in the song "Everybody Knows Who You Are, Anna". Useing your imagination, you can see how the dew trembles on the grass blades. How its drops are flowing on the leaves. Skillful mix of guitars and discreet sound of piano - the key to success and the key to the beauty of this song.

LISTEN TO IT: Kúra - Gógó (Lulu Rouge Remix)

LISTEN TO IT - the music defend itself

"Dobre, bo duńskie" - Polish (and main) version of the blog and its author (which is me, writing these words for you Dear Reader) both will have a rough month in January. Wihout meaningless details - because of the many maaaany stuff to do there will be a new section on the blogs (both Polish and English version). The new thing is called "LISTEN TO IT".

What it is all about?
Sometimes one song can "stuck in your head" for a very long time. Sometimes, after you listen to just one song, you fell in love with an artist. The section "LISTEN TO IT" is devoted to such songs. Those songs which make other melodies dissapear for a while.

One song, (relative) short description/review/whatever you'd like to call it and a lot (a looot) of space for YOUR opinion.

I encourage you to: A. Listen to it! B. Comment C. Share your favorite songs with friends (the "Share" button should work fine). I hope that we will listen to the songs here with great pleasure.

The first one is a true masterpiece. 

THE FOREIGN RESORT – Great Britian, Denmark and danishness mixed up together

The Foreign Resort
(translation by Arletta Przynoga)

They created the band in 2006, released debut album “Offshore” in 2009. And now they recorded an EP like a dream. THE FOREIGN RESORT. There’s only one question: how much the British is in those Danes? I think that enough to embarrass the British citizens. And enough to make them (any any other people) fell in love with The Foreign Resort’s music.
