New every month: our new large music express playlist for streaming!
For each issue there is a newly curated playlist with the song recommendations of the ME editorial team. Here you can listen to the music that we tell you about in the magazine while you are reading.
For those readers who don’t want to do without our exclusive CD, it will continue to be available in the ME subscription (which, by the way, can be canceled at any time).
This time the July playlist features music by:
SINEAD O’BRIEN
With her urgent, half-haunted, half-sung tracks, the Irish singer always moves somewhere between spoken-word performance and indie experiment. Sometimes, like with “Like Culture”, it becomes a real hit. Poetic, clever and quite unique.
FANTASTIC NEGRITO
Negrito’s new album is a large-scale multimedia project with fuzzy blues and bluegrass and an entire film about the true story of his ancestors, a white maid and a black slave who fall in love in the 18th century.
HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR
Although the new, sixth Hercules record is also a kind of comeback for Anohni, mastermind Andy Butler sings himself in the tender, optimistic and opulent opener “Grace”. Avant house pop at its best.
JASMYN
Indie introspection to shimmering synths: Jasmyn Burke used to be the frontwoman of the Canadian alternative pop band Weaves. Solo their melodies sound a bit bigger and brighter and wonderfully springy.
WOMAN FRIDLE
The Hamburg artist didn’t call her new album BELLA UTOPIA for nothing: her art-pop with German Dada lyrics is dazzling and refreshingly versatile, and it’s even fun when, like here, you’re whining about being a poor pig.
THE PARADISE
The indie pop of the one-man project is lovingly orchestrated (this time with lots of great horns!) and provided with wispy lyrics in which beautiful resolutions for the summer appear: “Start not to go crazy.”
Enjoy listening!
