A live music shoot that I was asked to do the other week for my friend Angela Little for her new show, Celtic Fire. The full set can be viewed here on flickr.

Declaration of Dependence

The new album from Kings of Convenience is very much like previous albums, but this is by no means a bad thing. Declaration of Dependence is in my mind a slightly more dour album for the Norway duo, although there are lighter moments such as the track “Boat Behind”. For an example of the more mellow tracks on the album, have a listen to the sample below from the track “Riot on and Empty Street”.

It’s not often you get albums that you can just put on and sit down and listen to, not worrying about doing anything else, but simply just appreciating the music.

The Sight Below; Glider

The Sight Below is a Seattle-based electronica artist whose debut album, Glider, sits very comfortably next to the GAS album I mentioned a few months back. Glider, however, is much more succinct album and keeps things evolving much more quickly, while still retaining that deep, pulsing, shoegazer aesthetic.

Glider is available through the Ghostly International store.
