Mei Semones: Animaru

Bio says "jazz influenced indie" and given 3 words, sure, that accurately describes Semones. But that might also sell it short. If there's a sonic dimension that has an overlap of Andrew Bird + Deerhoof, you might find her there. Sweet string-laden whimsy & unexpected freak-outs both have a place, along with some lovely guitar & Japanese lyrics. This one's for smiling. Enjoy!

Toby Hay: New Music For The 6 String Guitar

If you believe that there can never be enough gorgeous meditative acoustic guitar music (and I'm personally of the opinion that there can never be enough gorgeous meditative acoustic guitar music), here's some gorgeous meditative acoustic guitar music for ya. The title says it all. Hay's guitar is a soothing melodic balm in these worrying times. Enjoy!

Our only Mastodon-native contributor to this week's Other People's Music is the ever delightful @baymud (in his Patient Whales guise) but that's no reason to ignore it! In addition to the excellent folk pop contribution of our own Mr. Mud, we also have some proggy kosmische, classic rock revival, moody dream pop & wild experimental drum and bass. Enjoy! And please repost/boost widely!

Self-Titled Summer | Bad Brains (1982, US)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 540 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh). Here’s a quick rundown:

• Point(s) of origin: This group first formed in 1976 in Washington D.C. as a jazz fusion band called Mind Power, with Dr. Know on lead guitar, Darryl Jenifer on bass, Paul Hudson aka H.R. on rhythm guitar, H.R.’s brother Earl on drums, and Sid McCray as the singer. When the band members got into punk rock, they switched both their sound and their name, referencing the Ramones’ song, “Bad Brain“. The band then incorporated reggae sounds into their new hardcore punk direction after seeing Bob Marley live, McCray left, and H.R. became the singer. By 1979/80, the band was banned from the major local clubs, and so, around 1980/81, they relocated to NYC. By the time this, their debut studio album, was released (on cassette only, hence also referred to as The Yellow Tape), the band was an important part of the NYC hardcore scene, and regularly played CBGB.
• Tasting notes: Hardcore punk, reggae fusion, Rastafari dub
• Standout track: “Banned in D.C.”, which is about them being banned in D.C., and the band’s debut single “Pay to Cum“, originally released in 1980.
• Where are they now?: Many of the tracks from this debut were re-recorded for their following LP, Rock for Light (1983). Bad Brains would then break up for the first time, and then would reform (and break up, and reform…) and go on to release seven more studio albums (the last one, Into the Future, in 2012), incorporating more styles into their sound including funk, soul, and heavy metal. The band has changed their line-up many times (particularly swapping out the Hudson brothers), but they are currently listed as still being active and with the same line-up as the debut s/t.
• Websites: Band website, Wikipedia

Happy listening!

Kate NV: Room for the Moon Live

I saw Kate NV live once, she was solo with a laptop & console, singing & dancing to samples & electronics. Twas pretty good! This - a live recording of a one-off show with a 8-person band - is something else altogether. It sparkles with spontaneity. They deconstruct + reconstruct her music, fleshing out the influences of groove, ambient, jazz. A revelation... Enjoy!

it's strange to find this hidden jewel here, a band with strong #Ska 2-tone influence that I have had in the collection and this song reminded me of when I was a kid and someone stole my first bike 😆😛

This week's Other People's Music kicks off with some instrumental kosmische that throws back to the masters of the genre, then embraces the human voice, with pop & news samples folded into experimental DnB, ephemeral dream pop, classic rock, & indie folk pop.

Self-Titled Summer | Aucan (2008, Italy)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 44 on The List, submitted by mbr. Here’s a quick rundown:

• Point(s) of origin: Aucan – a multi-disciplinary collective/trio of Dario Dassenno, Francesco D’Abbraccio, and Giovanni Ferligna – was founded in 2005, or perhaps in 2006, or perhaps in 2007…? This is their debut.
• Not to be confused with: Aucán, the Argentinian prog folk band who also have a (rather charming) self-titled album (1977).
• Tasting notes: Experimental instrumental math/post rock, with some electronic elements and…hand clapping?
• Standout track: “Ac Ha B, Pt. 3” (for said hand clapping) or, imho, “Imho”
• Where are they now?: The group’s releases after this sound quite different, bringing in a lot of IDM, dark techno/ambient, dub step, etc. Their Wikipedia says “in attività”, but the band seems to have gone silent after their third studio album Stelle Fisse was released in 2015, including taking down their website and socials.
• Websites: Bandcamp (only has last release), Wikipedia (in Italian)

Happy listening!
