Tune-Yards - "Hap-B (Congo)". A song that feels less song and more feeling. The judder and shake of a long train journey, clattering along tracks, blinking eyes awake at sudden sun, strange trees whizzing by, thin birds, arid fields, homes hardly glimpsed. [MySpace / this track from the Lifted Brow's extraordinary ATLAS issue (aka Browrovision 2010), featuring new music by all sorts (from Chip Kidd to Little Wings), and unpublished writing by the likes of, er, David Foster Wallace - buy!]
Arrington De Dionyso - "Tak Terbatas". Arrington De Dionyso is to klingons as Marvin Gaye is to human beings. Which is to say that this man's voice is like the stroke of a k'takh, his saxophones like the pursed lunging h'kra of a live harkh'me'faw. Like a sheep in wolf's clothing. [buy]
