BNRY

Bass driven. Slightly melodic. Repeated vocal chops.

This is how BNRY describes his music. Succinct I think you’ll agree. And certainly not something I’d disagree with.

What we have here is some very intelligent dance music, progressive even, but more on that later.

I got to asking what BNRY’s favourite nightclub was and it turns out to be Plastic People, and why?

It’s Dark.

Fair enough, and succinct again. BNRY is playing Binnacle, a festival featuring progressive (that word again) musicians. It starts on 15 October and is at the Old Blue Last, Shoreditch.

Here are a couple of my favourite tracks from BNRY.

 Crayola by BNRY 

 Gold Leaf by BNRY 

zambri

If all this economic doom and gloom is starting to get you down then why not try listening to Zambri. Zambri are a New York based group whose style is similar to contemporaries such as Creep, but perhaps, with a slightly more eccentric nature to keep you guessing.

They’re signed to Kanine Records and should have a quite a healthy output of new material in the near future; so if the your nations growth figures have just been downgraded by the IMF this could be just the tonic you need. 

 Tonight We Fly by Zambri 

VINDUR BOK

Vindur Bok, roughly translated to mean ‘wind book’, is a Lithuanian artist mixing familiar folk melodies to a darker backdrop. Atmospheric and soothing as well, the music has the effect of putting one at ease. Here’s what he had to say on the matter:

It’s indie folk or dark ambient mostly influenced by Lithuanian nature and visual art. Musical influences could be William Basinski, Panda Bear, Cocteau Twins, Sigur Ros, Balam Acab, Fennesz, Grizzly Bear, Alina Orlova. 

I’ll be sure to check some of those names out as they are new to me (Sigur?). There’s new material in the pipeline which will have post rock and chillwave elements, so look out for that.

Here’s Tyliai Rauda Girios. Enjoy.

back

Quick message to the fan, I have my laptop back. Don’t worry though I won’t bore you with the grisly details.  But I will bore you with a flurry of content. Podcast soon, some more of those featurettes are in the pipeline as well. Sorry.

I will leave you with another new track and again it comes from an Oxford  band I have written about ceaselessly. Here's Trophy Wife, those great purveyors of “ambitionless commuter music", with the lead single of their new EP, Bruxism. The has been been produced by a whole host of people including Yannis from Foals.

Should be a good ‘un. Here’s Canopy Shade

Until I get back from End of the Road,
