anneka // jaws of day

one sure way to pique my musical interest is to lay down some sensuous femme vocals over a wickedly dangerous track. anneka is an accomplished vocalist/multi-instrumentalist and visual artist based in brighton, u.k. who isn’t afraid to try different approaches to further her craft. and, if you’ve followed this blog for some time then her name is a familiar one. and for good reason, she makes another appearance here with her song, “jaws of day” . the track was originally included as part of the electronic explorations compilation released mid-summer. however, it is available now as a single for immediate download too, how cool is that? after listening to this gem i am eagerly awaiting more music from anneka sooner rather than later. peace.

Nikki & The Dove // Tomorrow

Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf collectively pit themselves against our eardrums as the band Nikki & The Dove. And thus far they’re winning us over to the bright side with kaleidoscopic musical fare one song at a time. And their  latest track “Tomorrow” is another example of why I am eagerly awaiting their forthcoming Instinct LP, which is expected to drop May 14th. To get your copy make sure to pre-order it on iTunes. And if that wasn’t enough you can watch the official video for the “Tomorrow” on YouTube. And after the jump I got the videos for the song “The Fox” which is my favorite song by N&TD right after their highly addictive “The Drummer” by the way. And I also have the video “DJ, Ease My Mind”. This ought to keep your busy for a hot minute. Peace. Continue reading “Nikki & The Dove // Tomorrow”

anneka // promise // indigo run

It is said joy comes in the morning, perhaps even on gossamer wings whilst blowing a golden trumpet. But there are also other, perhaps more mundane and pertinent ways to experience joy in the morning, afternoon or late into the night. And just as with the fictive heavenly trumpets heralding the coming of something phenomenal, the pure-honey voice of Anneka proclaims the coming of wondrous musical magic. Anneka claims my speakers as the medium which to deliver her sound slivers of heavenly delight. I’ve been filling up my ears with the sumptuously fulfilling sounds of Anneka and her various (intentional?) takes of torturing me leave me wanting to listen to her all the more. It’s a strange thing to fall hard for a voice, but not just any voice. This voice is effortless, and how it floats lightly (mayhap the air beneath an angel’s wing), but plummets straight into your heart like Cupid’s proverbial arrows, and alas you’re helpless.  I’ve got a couple of gems from her Brighton Electric Studios rehearsal sessions, with Anneka singing the songs “Promise” and “Indigo Run”. As you watch this young Englishwoman perform, it is easy to see and hear how gorgeously talented she is. Hope you enjoy. Peace.
