LIFT ME HIGHER
I've been floating in higher atmospheres for the last weeks. It's incredible what getting up early does with a human corpus, innit? Therefore: a little dedication to the mountains of our world.
First in row is a song by The Alps off their album "IIII", a record I impudently overlooked in 2008 that, since I discovered it, didn't leave me ipod on my countless trips with the metro to work and backwards. It works as good at 7am as it works at 22pm...
A piano, some bass, killer drum breaks, fuzzy guitars and lots of Californian sun make this blistering piece of psychedelic music sound like you're in the middle of some western-gone-wrong-on-mezcal.
The Alps - Trem Fanstasma
It ain't a long way to get from The Alps to Sic Alps, when you're not talking music-wise at least. Sic Alps sound like they recorded their music in your basement on this truly excellent cover, also from 2008, of the Throbbing Gristle anthem (yeah, right) .
It's a lie
It's the same
It's a sigh
It's a game
It's the why
It's the where and the when
We're United
United
It's the same
It's a sigh
It's a game
It's the why
It's the where and the when
We're United
United
Ain't that genius?
From psychedelica over lo-fi goodness to something a little more headbanging? Aye sure, no problem, meet Black Mountain. Great riffs, a whooshing hammond, as if stonerrock wasn't invented yet...
And - although it has nothing to do with mountains - a little mix from our beloved friend Malo in Germany, aptly titled "International stocktaking of long forgotten dance moves". You can download it here, and make sure to check out the artwork for the mix that's included in the file,it's awesome. No tracklisting, just namedropping: Enzo Ponzio, Weird Tapes, Todd Terje, BB & Q Band, Faux Pas, Peter Sarstedt, Tensnake, Glossy, etc.
