TRACKS OF THE WEEK - 05/04/15 - Camel Power Club, Andy Shauf, Giant Sand, India Electric Co.
Four tracks to make your bunnies dance this Easter...
Last year I was privileged to meet the great Howe Gelb and for my recent birthday, Shellhunter bought me a ticket to see Giant Sand play in London this June. I'm really looking forward to it and was over the moon to hear this new track. It's a dreamy song that could easily transport me to the deserts of Arizona and is bang on form.
Old Pa's Corner:-
I like this one by India Electric Co. it is from their new album The Girl I Left Behind (2015). Quite difficult to define, but interesting enough for me to want to hear the album. This sound fresh and original. So much potential, I must say I am looking forward to the album.
Thanks to Sfw for the heads up with this track, it is indeed right up my alley. Instant impact from the French Indie duo, providing a laid back groove for Benin/US rapper Akin Yai to flow over. The perfect song to get you out of a hump!!...sorry!

Andy Shauf - I'm Not Falling Asleep (2015)
I'm Not Falling Asleep by Canadian singer/songwriter Andy Shauf is my current tag line. Rather than case of insomnia, I blame my daughters current sleeping habits (or lack of)! Its sombre tones feature a clarinet - I can't remember the last time I heard a clarinet!

Comments
Giant Sand - How many records has he made now? Must be tons. Nice and odd.
India Electric Co. - Yes, worth keeping an eye on. Nice plinky bits.
Camel Power Club - where do bands get their monikers from these days? India Electric? Camel Power? Still, no worse than Led Zeppelin or Toe Fat, I suppose. Bit too smooth for my tastes.
LS, this is very good and evocative as you say. I'll look out for the album and look forward to babysitting/attending the concert in June.
Old Pa, spot on with the comment, 'interesting enough to want to listen to more'. It's how I felt.
LS - Your best friend has delivered here...up to standard!
FC - interesting one I was enjoying the more it went on. Certainly a lot happening
OP - interesting enough...
LC - hmmm
