Zola Jesus - Vessel

Gosh - the album is brilliant, Nika's voice is full-on loaded with emotion as well as being mighty powerful. It is quite possible to imagine her wreaking the effects portrayed in the video. In fact, just a tiny bit of that is actually the case, the water vibration patterns are her voice. I cannot wait to see her in Liverpool on 25th November

 

Dum Dum Girls - Bedroom Eyes [official video]

Having recently reviewed their absolutely excellent new album HERE it seems a good idea to also post the new video. I really like the new album, it's on rotation in my life just now and just keeps getting better

Creatures Of Love - Barbatos [video]

Hmmmm - - here is an artistic and distinctly creepy video by Creatures Of Love. They're about to go on tour supporting The Joy Formidable in the UK, and are releasing this on a 7" CD, whatever that might be. I like what they do, need to find out more. I think I've almost been avoiding them simply because they share the same management with TJF and it seemed a trifle too 'fan-boy' but they are well worth checking out. That's almost an 80's sheen to their music, and I feel grubby after watching the video !!

 

Jessie J - Who You Are [video]

Sadly this is nothing like "Do It Like A Dude". It's pleasant enough standard R&B fare with a hint of 'self-empowerment' Oh well, wait for the next one I suppose.   I've posted this because I was so hugely enthusiastic when Jessie first appeared, and said so, so I'm entitled to say that this smacks of corporate blandness

 

Leo Leoson

I know very little about this guy - from Skåne Sweden and a recommendation from my friend Peter in Chicago. Eeh 'eck what a small world it is these days!   I have to say it's pretty understated and charming, something right for the weekend heatwave we are enjoying here in Britain just now




Update - Strange to relate, this has been one of the most clicked pages on my blog since I posted it. For me, it has remained as an interlude, not been one of those sleeping monsters that you realise were there all along six months later. It's still a nice space though, an interstice in the day's events, and I think I need to find out more about Leo Leoson.  Here is the video that 'anonymous' recommends in the comments on this post
