Endless Arcade

Lieblingsbands aus der Jugendzeit sind früher oder später Geschichte. Sie verschwinden mit den Trends, nehmen die falschen Drogen oder werden zum traurigen Abziehbild ihrer selbst. Die schottische Gitarrenband Teenage Fanclub hingegen war immer zur Stelle, mit den richtigen Songs zur richtigen Zeit. Eine verlässliche Institution, die sich stetig weiterentwickelte und mit der man gemeinsam in die Jahre ging. Vom ungeschliffenen Noiserock ihres Debüts „A Catholic Education“ (1990) über den glorreichen Powerpop auf „Bandwagonesque“ (1991) bis zum neuen Album wurden ihre Lieder immer ausgereifter, gediegener – und persönlicher.

„Endless Arcade“ (noch vor der Pandemie in Hamburg produziert) ist unaufdringlich, aber meisterhaft. Dies nach wohlgemerkt 32 Jahren Bandgeschichte und mit einem Songwriter weniger als zuvor. Um das Album und die Geschichten dahinter geht es heute schwerpunktmäßig bei Golden Glades.

Endless Arcade war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 05.05.21 – 19:00-21:00 Uhr.
Wdh.: Samstag, 08.05. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr und Montag, 10.05. 08:00-10:00 Uhr

Frühjahrskollektion 2021

Vorhang auf für die Golden Glades-Frühjahrskollektion 2021! Der aktuelle Trend: Neues wird häufiger mit Altem kombiniert. Electric Looking Glass etwa reproduzieren das historische Original getreu bis ins Detail. Die kalifornische Band sieht so aus, als wäre sie direkt dem Jahr 1968 entsprungen: Frisuren, Hemden – alles passt. Ihr aktuelles Debüt „Somewhere Flowers Grow“ fügt sich nahtlos ein und präsentiert eine kunterbunte Kollektion melodischer Psyche-Pop Perlen.

Auch die norwegische Musikerin Hilma Nikolaisen geht einen Schritt zurück in die Vergangenheit. Noch vor einigen Jahren sorgte sie als Bassistin bei Serena Maneesh für Shoegaze-verhangene Rock-Sinfonien. Inzwischen hat sie die Akustikgitarre ihres Vaters für sich entdeckt und siehe da: Der seichte Sound der Nylonsaiten passt wie angegossen zu Nikolaisens schönem, leicht sprödem Songwriting; nachzuhören auf ihrer neuen Platte „Heritage“.

Ebenso rüstig röstend im historisch runzligen Rampenlicht: Dinosaur Jr., The Field Mice und Yellow Ostrich.

Die Frühjahrskollektion 2021 war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 21.04.21 – 19:00-21:00 Uhr.

Halbe Sachen

Golden Glades präsentiert ein volles Programm mit halben Sachen. Anlass ist der Jubiläumssampler «Magneto» aus dem Hause Half A Cow Records. Das Label aus Sydney wurde 1990 von Nic Dalton gegründet und sorgt seither für geschmackvollen Gitarrenpop jeglicher Couleur. Der 30. Label-Geburtstag wird mit Beiträgen von Machine Translations, The Wednesday Night und The Hummingbirds gefeiert.

Außerdem im Fokus steht Outsider Orchester-Pop aus Los Angeles von Midnight Sister sowie der so bissige wie schmissige Indierock von Kiwi Jr. aus Toronto. Und – nicht bloß dem Sendungsmotto zuliebe – Half Japanese.

Halbe Sachen war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 27.01.21 – 19:00-21:00 Uhr.
Wdh.: Samstag, 30.01. von 15:00-17:00 Uhr

LOVING, Guz & One Of A Million

Der Indie-Sound der Stunde kommt (mal wieder) aus Kanada: Football Money von Kiwi jr ist ein nonchalantes Kleinod. Auch LOVINGs Zweitling If I Am Only My Thoughts hat es in sich: Der streichelzarte Pop des Trios klingt leicht und fluffig, offenbart aber mit der Zeit raffinierte Arrangements und tiefgründige Lyrics.

Desweiteren soll von einem in vielerlei Hinsicht vorbildlichen Musikfestival die Rede sein: Die 10. Ausgabe des One Of A Million findet vom 31.1. bis 08.02.2020 in Baden (CH) statt. Das feine Clubfestival hat ein hervorragendes und gut durchmischtes Line-Up, u.a. mit Common Holly, Mikal Cronin und Shannon Lay.

Zudem gilt es, sich von Olifr M. Guz (Die Aeronauten) zu verabschieden, der vorige Woche einem Herzleiden erlag. Wir werden ihn vermissen und wollen daran erinnern, welch legendäre Songs er hinterlässt. Auf dem beistehenden Foto sieht man Guz mitsamt Frau Zettpunkt auf gemeinsamer Tournee ihrer Bands im März 1995.

Diese Sendung war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 29.01.20 – 20:00-22:00 Uhr.

Gute Aussichten

Für die Abschluss-Sendung 2019 verzichtet Golden Glades auf den obligatorischen Rückblick und schaut stattdessen auf das, was im neuen Jahr zu erwarten ist. Und siehe da: Es sind erfreuliche Aussichten! Zahlreiche Vorabsingles kündigen hoffnungsvolle Alben an, etwa von Field Music. Die Art-Pop-Experten aus Sunderland sind nach wie vor dem lässigen Funk auf der Spur und versprechen mit Making A New World ein Konzeptalbum der besonderen Art.

Ebenso auf Anhieb gut aufgehoben fühlt man sich in der zauberhaften Musik von Aoife Nessa Frances. Es sind die abseitigen Wege des Folk- und Psyche-Pop, die die irische Newcomerin auf ihrem für Januar angekündigten Debüt Land of no Junction erkundet. Verheißungsvolles präsentieren auch Andy Shauf, Nada Surf und Isobel Campbell.

Diese Sendung war zu hören am Mittwoch, den 18.12.19 – 20:00-22:00 Uhr.

Best of 2018

I listen to an awful lot of music every day, it’s my job and responsibility as a radio presenter. But most of all, it’s a labour of love digging out interesting stuff, making new discoveries in all directions. The end of the year makes me think of my ultimate favourite tunes, which is never an easy thing to do. However, here’s some kind of a Best Of list with some records and artists I especially enjoyed in 2018.

Adrianne Lenker – “Abysskiss” (Saddle Creek)

Some of you are probably familiar with Lenker as a guitarist and vocalist in Brooklyn-based indie rock band Big Thief. Her full-length solo record is a stripped-down singer-/songwriter approach and with this, she’s covering intimate emotions on her stroll along the abyss. In a way it’s hauntingly intense, but nevertheless comfort for your soul. Adrianne Lenker shows a subtle, otherworldly brilliance with her light fingerpicking on acoustic guitar while her songs are thoughtful, deep and poignant. And with this combination, there’s a true affinity to other outstanding artists like Judee Sill or Connie Converse.

 

Ari Roar – “Calm Down” (Bella Union)

Sometimes it’s true: great art comes from great pain. Adrianne Lenker has quite a history with being born into a religious cult and she almost died, when a railroad spike crashed her skull as a kid. And she managed to create something special in the wake of the tragedy, just like Caleb Campbell alias Ari Roar. The Texan singer-songwriter struggled with panic attacks from early on. As a late teenager, he had an operation on the spine, which left him bed-bound for months. Of course, these experiences have an impact. And in this case, he’s doing the best by channelling it into beautiful melodic lo-fi pop. The sweet miniatures on Calm Down might sound effortlessly in the first place, but there’s something else underneath the surface, with traces of doubts and fear. It’s a glorious debut for repeat listens.

 

Clearance – “At Your Leisure” (Topshelf)

This band provides a compelling sound by picking up familiar indie rock in a modern way. They create something fresh and interesting and already got a lot of praise here in my blog. If you like passionate, bright guitar music from the 80ties and 90ties, you should listen to this one.

 

Field Music – “Open Here” (Memphis Industries)

Whenever there’s a new Field Music record, it always ends up in my top ten of the year. Again, the spacious production on Open Here is exquisite, the compositions are intricate and classy. Field Music are ambitious, but they have all the knowledge and the talent to follow their visions. It’s a beautiful and well-crafted record that needs to be heard, because it has something to say. Maybe it’s all a bit too smart to reach the big crowd – but I’m sure the time will eventually come and Field Music get all the praise they deserve.

 

Lake Ruth – “Birds of America” (Feral Child Records)

They like to go under the banner “baroque pop”, but there’s so much more to discover in the music of Lake Ruth: from folk to jazz to avant-pop. I’m a fan of Matt Schulz since his days with Enon – he’s an excellent, versatile drummer. And singer Allison Brice, she has a way of phrasing her poetic lyrics in meandering harmonies like no other. All backed-up by a multi-layered smooth texture with a slight vintage touch. Lake Ruth are quite unique doing their own thing, and Birds of America is nothing less but an awe-inspiring masterpiece.

 

Shy Boys – “Bell House” (Polyvinyl)

Undeniably, these guys know how to sing! And the harmonies all perfectly meld together. It’s a special quality that only happens, when siblings start a band. The family sound is so intriguing because the harmonies are amazingly organic. Music history is filled with such examples and just like Field Music, the Shy Boys are band of brothers, supported by a couple of best friends. I summoned up a rave review earlier this year in my little blog here.

 

Stephen Steinbrink – “Utopia Teased” (Melodic / Western Vinyl)

This singer-/songwriter is a terrific talent. And again, we have an artist here, who knows a lot about the dark stuff in life. Stephen Steinbrink was left devastated after a fateful fire during a warehouse party in Oakland, California that killed 36 people in December 2016. After a couple of months stunned with grief, Steinbrink quit a minimum wage job, locked himself up in a shipping container with all sorts of music equipment, stimulated by a daily diet of LSD. And the songs started pouring out of him. Utopia Teased sounds a bit different, less perfect than his previous records. It’s a bit more daring with field recordings and synthesizers, but again it’s a collection of beautiful songs with substance and a hidden treasure for eternity.

 

Still Parade – “Soon Enough” (Feel Flows)

This is a very fine piece of work from Berlin, but made with love in LA. It feels like Niklas Kramer had a very clear vision for his new Still Parade album and he obviously put a lot of effort and thought into it. It sounds warm like a cozy blanket and puts the listener at ease. Of course, the Beach Boys influence is evident, but in a clever way. Smart harmonies combined with a startling sense of intimacy, and the formidable production brings out a nice vintage flair. It’s the kind of music that makes the world a better place. Sometimes, that’s just what you need.

 

The Fernweh – “The Fernweh” (Skeleton Key)

Yes, I am repeating myself here – I already picked this album for my Best Of list two years ago! Back then, I received a promotional copy from the band directly. Thankfully, it just got a proper release via Skeleton Key because this sublime debut is really exceptional. It’s a beautiful collection of hazy late 60s, early 70s inspired folk and pop, combined with a gentle nod to British psychedelia. Treat yourself & give it a listen, if you’re not already familiar with this. The Fernweh demonstrate an exceptional level of song craft and the record deepens with every listen.

 

Tony Molina – “Kill The Lights” (Slumberland)

Tony Molina is deeply rooted in 60s songwriting and DIY aesthetics. With Kill The Lights, he created a truly glorious pop record by offering 10 tracks in under 15 minutes. His sensitive songs are infectious and short to the point. Just like Ari Roar, Tony Molina is able to put it all into a 60-second song and I never get tired of listening – again and again. This really is a lovely, but as well soul-baring record.

 

Teenage Fanclub – Vinyl-Reissues (Sony)

Why should I be interested into these reissues when I already have all the vinyl of Teenage Fanclub in my collection? Well, guitarist and singer Raymond McGinley of the band explained to me: back in the 90s, the vinyl was just a copy of the CD. But if you want the best vinyl sound, you need a special mastering. That’s basically, what Teenage Fanclub did: they took the original master tapes, worked through all of them at Abbey Road Studios and improved the mastering for this new vinyl edition. And it really does make a difference, especially the new pressing of 1993s Thirteen is now more immediate and has a much better dynamic. Also, each essential album includes a bonus seven-inch single, mostly of tracks which originally appeared only on CD singles and EPs. To promote all these reissues from the Creation era, Teenage Fanclub played a very special concert series in Great Britain. Here’s my review of the nights in Birmingham and London, which also marks my concert highlight of 2018.

 

SUPER 8 – T-T-T-Technicolour Melodies/Turn Around Or…/HI LO (Futureman Rec)

Frequent listeners of my radio show already know about SUPER 8 – Paul Ryan a.k.a. Trip got a lot of airplay in 2018. Not only, because he put out a lovely mix of guitar pop as a one-man-band with all sorts of instruments like cello and trumpet. He also managed to surprise again and again with new top material. Three homemade full lengths were released this year on Futureman Records and it’s hard to pick a favourite album really. Each release is kind of special and filled with a laid-back and sunny charm. Backed up now and again with some thoughtful songs and well-curated cover versions. It looks like SUPER 8 will be back in 2019 with a more acoustic-based album – a thing looking forward to!

23th December 2018

Geschwistersache

Wenn Geschwister musikalisch gemeinsame Sache machen, wird es schnell kompliziert – immerhin ist der kleine Bruder oder auch die große Schwester der erste Feind des Lebens. Die Konkurrenz ist der Geschwister-Musik oft anzuhören – aber natürlich auch die geteilte musikalische DNA und oft sogar eine ähnliche Stimmfärbung. Von den Beach Boys bis hin zu Field Music wird uns all dies heute noch einmal in Klang und Kommentar verdeutlicht.

Let there be POP!

Let there be POP! – POP! in Großbuchstaben und mit Ausrufezeichen: Das steht für bestechendes Songwerk mit Melodien für die Ewigkeit. Dafür gibt es kein Patentrezept, denn der Begriff ist äußerst dehnbar – von der orchestralen Maximalgeste bis hin zum privaten Lo-fi-Entwurf kann POP! ganz unterschiedliche Erscheinungsformen annehmen. Ein paar davon wollen wir uns heute anhören.

Handbremse

Das Leben auf der Überholspur ist doch inzwischen ein Dauerzustand. Unruhige Nächte folgen auf verdichtete Tage. Zur Erholung präsentiert Golden Glades heute Musik mit angezogener Handbremse: Mit milder Melancholie und kraft konsequenter Kontemplation werden Khruangbin, The High Llamas, Fay Hallam und andere Experten für Ruhepuls sorgen.
