Close your eyes and listen.

           Antony and the Johnson's - Crazy in Love
Something I was lucky enough to witness in December 09 Antony singing with full symphony orchestra in the acoustic hall of the Sydney Opera House. Antony has the ability to marry emotion, melody and elegance to effect ones inner core. One of the most exceptional artists in music today, Antony reveals private worlds of tenderness and sorrow, as his multi-octave voice wavers and soars with raw vulnerability. This track Crazy in Love is something I love to savour and let my mind devour the words, what a touching twist on a pop song I would otherwise never listen to. An example of how music can shape and mould words into juxtaposing interpretations.

I like the way it looks.....

Caribou

                               Caribou - Album SWIM
Whether pounding the pavement to Leave House or lying in the winter sun surrounded by Byron Bay bush, with Sun cranking...... the latest album from Canadian, Daniel Victor Snaith as Caribou, keeps making me smile. I notice something new nearly every listen, random collection of sounds, using instruments that are not typically meshed together, I can't get enough of his sonic and yet earthy sounds. Have a listen here..... Enjoy.
