Album of the week: Native Harrow - Old Kind Of Magic

Native Harrow - Old Kind Of Magic

Old Kind of Magic, the fifth longplayer from Native Harrow, arrives two years into their new life in Sussex, England. It is in this new place that they have self-produced a work that is simultaneously their most sweepingly expansive and delicately intimate album to date.

The songs contained herein move dramatically from the opening field recording of the Brighton seaside, to Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock, piano and rhodes tinged soul-jazz balladry, oud and harpsichord driven 60s technicolour psychedelia, dense modernistic string quartet writing, and wide-as-the-western skies panoramic pedal steel with sepia-toned 12-string.

Old Kind of Magic will be released on 28th October 2022 via Loose, available on LP, CD, and digital.

ListenNOW! "Misery" from the new album CASUALTY by Straight Razor

#DanceNOW! Double Triangle, Carlos Ucedda - "I adore you (Double Triangle Remix)"

If the song sounds familiar to you now, we have already presented Carlos Ucedda and ‘I adore you’ once before; back then, the song was still very 80s (greetings to Luke Tangerine at this point). Together with Double Triangle, they take a step further into the 90s. You could almost say: ‘I adore you’ has arrived in the golden era of techno. The remix shows Double Triangle in top form, with good progression that keeps up the tension and simultaneously proves that, together with Carlos Ucedda, they can also capture the 90s flair magnificently and present it in the style of the 2000s. Great Remix of a fantastic Song by the end of the year!

OUTNOW! Dichtboi - "Wer bin ich¿"

"Wer bin ich¿" zeigt eine tiefe Identitätskrise und Sinnsuche des Menschen. Dichtboi symbolisiert den verzweifelten Versuch, der Realität durch Illusionen zu entfliehen. Der Text erinnert daran, dass wahrer Mut darin besteht, sich den Herausforderungen des Lebens zu stellen und Erfüllung innerhalb der realen Grenzen zu suchen, oder es wird zur Flucht in eine andere Welt, die leider oft nur einen Ausweg kennt. Und so bleibt am Ende der Beginn einer neuen Ebene der Existenz. Nachdenkliches von Dichtboi zum Jahresende.

#ListenNOW! ‘Impulsein (ft. Micheline van Hautem)’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle

Who hasn't experienced the initial excitement of new love? Intense and pulsating. Everything is new, and there is so much to discover. Jean-Philippe Ruelle picks up on this theme and stages it in ‘Impulsein’. While the first part is still characterised by this positive hectic pace, the second part plunges us into a continuation dominated by passion. The vocals and instrumentation are given great impetus by the sophisticated arrangement and bring a great deal of musical depth. ‘Impulsein’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle and the beauty of an instrumental.
