New Music 2021

Make no apologies for starting New Music 2021 with what is probably an old track. Its an unreleased song that comes from Beachwood Deluxe the companion piece to the 20 year reissue of Beachwood Sparks debut album. Have not played the original album in a long while. Must rectify thst.

Beachwood Sparks - Morning Light

 
Not new music as such but just a heads up that 30 yrs after deleting their back catalogue and burning all that money on the Isle of Jura, The KLF have dropped a greatest hits album on Spotify today. Videos are also on YouTube apparently.

bloody loved the KLF back in the day I did
 
Three-quarters of the incredible 90s power-pop band Jellyfish, doing what they've always done best - making brilliant, melodic, joyful music. This is from their second EP, coming out this month.

Lovely lovely music
 
Interesting Video and good song.

Joaquin Baldwin who did the video

Timelapse animation music video, with my beard growing through Covid lockdown. Using my face as a stop-motion puppet (a technique called pixilation), I took 2,117 individual photos, every night, over 101 days, and synchronized the actions to the song "Better Days" by @Radical Face (used with permission).

Last time I shaved was over 15 years ago. The social isolation of this Covid lockdown has made all of us experiment a bit with how to pass the days, as we fall into a numbing repetition where time moves but goes nowhere. If you can find a little spark of passion, some random obsession, a daily goal to push towards, it can help time become more meaningful, as we wait for the better days that lie just ahead.


Not sure how he got his mouth synchronised like that taking over 2000 photos.

Radical Face - Better Days

 
Daniel Knox - single out today.
He says:
“Look At Me” was inspired by a carpet-lined tunnel I discovered in the house where I was born, leading to a place further than the attic and possibly beyond.
