Nochmal ein paar musikalische Empfehlungen die Sprachfetzen vom End of the Road Festival mitgebracht hat.

Allo Darlin‘ are many things. They can turn a room in a famous punk venue into a joyous, jumping, sweaty, pop-mosh pit. Or bring a room of 500 to hushed silence with the few strums of a ukulele and a love song about cooking. They’ve had glowing reviews in places such as the Metro, The Fly and The Guardian, the latter calling their “Henry Rollins” single “the best indiepop song for years”.

Sprachfetzen sagt: die sonnigen Go Betweens treffen auf Jonathan Richman (wenn er ein Mädchen wäre).

Allo Darlin’ - Dreaming

London Snorkelling Team ist eine Band that “play music they imagine may have happened some time in the 1950s, perhaps at a cocktail party for experimental scientists with a fascination for cartoons”.

Sprachfetzen meint: sollte man sehen. Besonders toll der Einsatz des Overhead Projektors wo zur Musik kleine Comicfiguren über die Folie geschoben werden. Faszinierend.

The London Snorkelling Team - Samuel Langoustine

Von Jessica Lea Mayfield wird gesagt  “I think she’s dark and moody in a mysterious way.”  Pitchfork gave the album a rating of 8.2, calling it “fascinating and endlessly listenable.” (Quelle: End of the Road Festival Website)

Sprachfetzen sagt, wer ein Cheerleader outfit trägt mit einer “Shit happens” Kappe und todtraurige Lieder macht, kann nicht schlecht sein

Jessica Lea Mayfield – Kiss Me Again

Ein bewegender Moment war der Auftritt des großen Edwyn Collins. On Sunday, February 20, 2005, Edwyn was admitted to hospital after collapsing at home. He was later diagnosed with having suffered two cerebral haemorrhages and underwent a precarious neurological operation. Incredibly, through a combination of surgical brilliance, the heroic support of his family and his own seemingly invincible will- power, Edwyn pulled through. Six months after his stroke, he was back at home. But more phenomenal still was his determination to overcome the physical after-effects hindering his movement and speech.

Und nun ist er zurück mit einen tollen POP Album.
