New music from Dum Dum Girls:

End of Daze

@jowesterlund

It arrived one day after its release, that's service.

I have listened to Dum Dum Girls' EP 'End of Daze' many times now. On the lovely clear vinyl that I got in the post today, and at Spotify. At the moment, 'Season in Hell' is my favourite song off the EP.



Here is the video for 'Lord Knows':

Coming down

Today I got my book set of Suede at the Royal Albert Hall on March 24, 2010. What a lovely experience it is to watch the dvd from the concert and re-live that night again. A warm feeling spreads through my body and I have a silly smile on my face after watching it. Thank you so much Suede and Teenage Cancer Trust for giving us that wonderful night and this lovely memory.

Here's something very different: 'Coming Down' by Dum Dum Girls.

Music from a year

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, there're many lists of best albums for the year 2011 currently being published. I'm not much for making lists of albums, I'm more into collecting songs I like and love and following the bands and artists that are close to my heart. However, I think I should mention some albums that have made my 2011 so much better and of which I am glad that I'm not without.

A part from the reissues of Suede's five studio albums and the fourth solo album from Brett Anderson, which is better than I had hoped for, there are some albums, and bands, that I am honoured to have been listening to, and seen live on two occasions. With no one better that the other, I really love these three albums:

Invasionen - 'Saker som jag sagt till natten'
Foster the People - 'Torches'
Austra - 'Feel It Break'

Other good music from this year, according to me (and I have surely forgotten some), in no particular order:

Lamb - '5'
Other Lives - 'Tamer Animals'
Dum Dum Girls - 'Only In Dreams'
Masquer - 'Cover My Face As The Animals Cry'
Zola Jesus - 'Conatus'
Anna Calvi - 'Anna Calvi'
PJ Harvey - 'Let England Shake'
Visions of Trees - 'Sometimes It Kills'/'No Flag'
Visions of Trees - 'Siren (Novocaine)'/'Sience of Hate'
Lana del Rey - 'Video Games'/'Blue Jeans'

Additionally, I'm sure there're lots of tracks and albums that I haven't discovered yet...

Have you discovered the deluxe edition of Austra's 'Feel It Break'? It includes some of the great "b-sides" from the singles, like 'Identity'.

Bedroom Eyes

When it's time for sleep... maybe.



Another of their songs that I have on repeat now is 'Coming Down', it's beautiful.
