Bernard Butler - Good Grief - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Bells Larsen (they/he/il) started writing their debut album, Good Grief, at the age of nineteen, the start of a hugely transitional time in their life. In the five years since, Larsen has moved across the country, studied philosophy at a small liberal arts college, dropped out, and then moved across the country again. Their life was also put on pause after the sudden death of their first love. InchThis loss left so many people with so many unanswered questions, myself included. I haven't always arrived at answers to these questions, but songwriting has provided me with a way to at least ask.InchThe first voice we hear on Good Grief does not belong to Larsen, but to their first love. InchReady?Inch she asks. As if to answer her, the album begins with an audio recording from 2013 of Larsen and their high school friends singing Sufjan Stevens' song InchThe Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!Inch around a campfire. InchWhen the record starts and my ex says Inchready?Inch there's a part of me that feels like - in some way - she's asking grown-up-me if I'm InchreadyInch to share my songs about grief now.Inch Good Grief captures a coming-of-age story - of an artist and of a human being - as they try to navigate the terrain of their existence and that of those around them. It's an experience of their loss but also honours the person that was lost to them. The record closes with a reprise of the InchWaspsInch audio recording, marrying the past and present as the old voice memo slowly fades into a newer one. Present-day Larsen sings, InchI can tell you I love her each dayInch a testament to the fact that their grief is- finally-good.1 Wasps2 Tongue Tied3 Double Aquarius4 Teenage Love5 Sweater Weather6 Say Something7 Atlantic Love/A Long & Distant Wave (feat.

Wilhelm Furtwängler - Symphonies 7-8 [COMPACT DISCS] date 09/08/2010

2022 . Party Dozen are a duo from Sydney made up of Kirsty Tickle (saxophone) and Jonathan Boulet (percussion and sampler). Since forming in 2017, they have become renowned in Australia for their incendiary live shows, touring and playing with acts such as LIARS, Tropical F**k Storm, and Viagra Boys. Exactly what Party Dozen are is completely up to the listener. Doom. Jazz. Hardcore. Psychedelic. No-wave. Industrial. Although largely instrumental, their sets are punctuated by Kirsty's unique InchsingingInch style, screaming into the bell of her saxophone which itself goes through a bevy of effects pedals. Intensely independent in everything they do, the duo write, perform and record everything themselves. 2022 will see the return of Party Dozen, first in April with the 7Inch , Fat Hans Gone Mad, for the Sub Pop Singles Club, and then in July with their third album, The Real Work, with a new tag partner in New York's Temporary Residence Ltd. The Real Work succeeds in exploring new directions but also features some familiar Party Dozen touches. Perhaps most notable is the first-ever appearance of a guest other than Kirsty or Jonathan on a Party Dozen track, with Nick Cave ad-libbing a very memorable contribution to the album's second track, InchMacca The Mutt.Inch
