Rip It Up And Start Again

Zum Einstieg in die neue Dekade hat sich Golden Glades von dem Orange Juice-Klassiker «Rip It Up And Start Again» inspirieren lassen. Neue und alte Lieblinge gehen in der heutigen Sendung Hand in Hand, wobei Musik aus Schottland sozusagen die Oberhand behält.

Mit dabei sind frische Singles von Dropkick, Fair Mothers und Snowgoose, die allesamt sehr bald neue Platten vorlegen werden.

Diese Sendung war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 01.01.20 – 20:00-22:00 Uhr.
Wdh.: Samstag, 04.01. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

Stream online here: ByteFM
Berlin: 91.0 MHz // Hamburg: 91.7 MHz

Snails: Safe in Silence (Fearl Child Records)
Minta & The Brook Trout: Slow (NorteSul)
CaStLeS: Foresteering (Hafod Mastering)
Ben Reed: Station Masters (Gare Du Nord)

If you haven’t heard of any of those artists, please check them out!

And here they are, the winners of the 2017 Golden Glades award:

 

Corridor: Supermercado (Requiem Pour Un Twister)
Mauno: Tuning (Tin Angel)
This Is the Kit: Moonshine Freeze (Rough Trade)
Brent Cash: The New High (Marina Records)

Balduin

I honestly couldn’t believe my ears when I discovered that this great artist called Balduin is hailing from Bern (Switzerland) – what a pleasant surprise! Fact is, I live in this city for almost 10 years now and I always had to struggle with the local scene, which seemed to be different and difficult for me on all terms. Eventually I made my peace, thinking there’s nothing to expect from this city music wise… But then I heard the songs from Balduin and his second album All In A Dream (2014) which left me relieved and excited at once.

The one-man-orchestra of Balduin shows a great sensibility for shimmering 60ties pop and psychedelia. And I can tell you: he gets better with every release! His third long player Bohemian Garden was just released and the first minutes are like a clear statement: Balduin wasn’t made for these times and his music wasn’t made for the small world of Switzerland.

Between sophisticated baroque pop arrangements, where vibraphone meets analog synth tunes, there’s a colourful cosmos to discover. Some of the tracks achieve a cinematic quality from the likes of Morricone or Theodorakis, taking you on a trip with compelling sounds and melodies. Listening to A Song For The Moon makes you think that Syd Barrett joined The Beatles for an unreleased hit single. All this sounds unique, although the aesthetic is very specific and some influence easy to pinpoint. Because Balduin makes sure, that his music takes a playful approach, that it’s resolving in some unexpected turns and vibes. The effect is simply highly enjoyable and worthwhile.

Große Erwartungen

Bei Golden Glades werfen heute große Ereignisse ihre Schatten voraus: Mit diversen ersten Singleauskopplungen kündigt sich ein viel versprechender Musiksommer an, zudem gibt es einen Ausblick auf das diesjährige Primavera Sound-Festival in Barcelona sowie sprießende Knospen einer musikalischen Protestkultur gegen die Trump-Agenda.

Unsolved Mysteries

Wieso wurde die Popmusik nicht schon längst begraben? Weshalb enden manche Songs als Ohrwurm, auch wenn man sie gar nicht leiden kann? Warum gibt es keine wasserdichte Pop-Formel mit Hitgarantie? Diese und andere cold cases stehen heute bei Golden Glades zur Wiedervorlage an. Lösungen können wir keine versprechen, wohl aber einen schönen Mix, der den Pop-Mysterien auf der Spur bleibt.

Trip Down Memory Lane

Kaum ein vernünftiger Mensch wird bestreiten, dass die Popmusik der 1960er Jahre äußerst offen und experimentierfreudig war – und dass sich diese Haltung in einigen der besten Platten aller Zeiten niedergeschlagen hat, üppig instrumentiert und reich an Melodien. Heute wird sowohl in Sachen Soundästhetik als auch in der Harmonieführung wieder gern auf die Sixties Bezug genommen. Neue Platten u.a. von Brent Cash, The Proper Ornaments und CaStLeS zeigen auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise, wie sich das goldene Zeitalter in der zeitgenössischen Popmusik manifestiert.
