Nuggets 261– Morning Voices 14

Nuggets 261 - Morning Voices 14

Yeow – Sleep Over, Grouper, Young Marble Giants, Angel Olsen, TV Girl, Which Magic, Julianna Barwick, Mountain Man, Castanets, The Corsairs, Cate Le Bon, Valerie June, Sam Prekop, Autopilot is for Lovers, Bosque Brown, Family Band, First Aid Kit, Willie Williams, Eisley, Veronica Falls and Lazer Zeppelin.

Two songs about the end of the world, one about bad teeth, another about digging, someone with a death wish and a miscellany of songs that appear to focus on unrequited love. Hmm.

Valerie June is a delightful find. I have NPR’s All Songs Considered podcast to thank. She featured in their year end ‘best of’. Valerie looks like she should be rapping but sounds like Dolly Parton. Excellent.

An early morning mix; mellow, haunting and occasionally twee.

For those curious about the Carpenters track that rounds off this mix, read more here.

Here’s some videos.

Jenny O. Automechanic.

JENNY O. - "Automechanic" - (Live from Silverlake, CA) #JAMINTHEVAN

Cate le Bon – Hollow Trees House Hounds. Give her a big hand, she’s Welsh!

CocoRosie – End of Time. Totally bonkers. Many reviewer give the Casady sisters a D- but they have their supporters.  I like them fine.

The Luyas – Fifty / Fifty

The Luyas - Fifty/Fifty (Here Today Sessions)

Waxahatchee – Swan Dive. Katie Crutchfield is all grown up now, so I suppose there won’t be so much screaming, which is a shame.

Angel Olsen. She can sing and yoddle at the same time. No mean feat. I am impressed by how quiet the crowd is in this clip of her singing.

Acid House Kings – Under Water. The Supremes meet Kraftwerk
