A peculiar mythic retelling of evolution in a simultaneously beautiful and impeccably creepy narrative.

 Sigur Rós - Svefn-G-Englar
Sigur Rós is one of the handful of extremely talented bands to emerge from Iceland in the last few years. Their haunting & powerful compositions exist in their own twilight world, devoid of clocks and the common cycles of time we are familiar with. They've received a great deal of deserved attention since they began and have been constantly developing and deepening their music. Strangely, even through sung in a mixture of Icelandic and 'Hopelandic,' the lyrics are wrought with emotional importance and intensity, eager for you to imbue them with your meanings.
This video is from a live performance way back in 2001 on tour for their first album Ágætis Byrjun.

 Branka Parlic performs Mad Rush by Philip Glass
This is the second entry I've posted featuring Branka Parlic playing a Philip Glass composition. (the first can be found here: Branka Parlic performs Glassworks). Parlic's virtuosity is incredible, as you will easily hear (and see). Her fingers move hypnotically to Glass' intricate, repetitive motifs. The dynamics of Mad Rush make it so joyous to me, the fervour punctuated by respite and meditation only to rush headlong back into the fray.
The performance of this composition is split into two parts, and you can find the second half here:Branka Parlic performs Mad Rush (part 2).
There are quite a few videos of her to be found on youtube, all of them performances of Philip Glass' works and all worth listening to. Search youtube for 'Branka Parlic'.

 Loscil - Motoc
I haphazardly discovered this video online the other night. Loscil is a friend of mine & I've had the privilege of playing several shows with him. His music is subtle and evocatively absorbing, relying on slowly shifting melodies and sparse, muted percussion.
Motoc is the first track on his newest album Plume, which expands on his well developed style with the addition of acoustic instruments (a perfectly suited xylophone, for example).
If you want music to drift away with, I cannot recommend Plume enough. Find yourself a copy... and buy it, please.
His website can be found here: Loscil.com

 M.I.A. - Sunshowers
M.I.A. (aka Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam) is a talented rapper, singer & artist whose music cuts through many genres and confronts political and social issues. She delights & excels in destroying stereotypes.
She spent a large part of her childhood growing up in Sri Lanka, caught up in the Sri Lankan civil war between the Tamil Tigers and the government army.
Sunshowers is taken from her first album, titled Arular (a reference to her father's political 'code name'). Her video Galang can also be found on Youtube.

 Stina Nordernstam - Get On With Your Life
Stina Nordenstam is a reclusive Swedish singer, photographer and artist. Musically, she unfortunately gets compared to Björk too often. I think this comparison is tragically misleading, since they have very little in common musically, and seems to be simply due to the fact they're both from Scandinavian countires.
Get On With Your Life was the first track from her last album The World Is Saved. Her unmistakable hushed voice and poetic, wintery lyrics combine with sparse jazz-influenced instrumentation in a hauntingly stoic urge to get on with your life...
You can find a few more of her music videos on Youtube, including one of her early songs that gained quite a bit of popularity: Little Star.

 Sage Francis - Escape Artist
For my first post of 2007, I was contemplating what songs would be capture my ambitions and goals for the new year. There were quite a number vying in my musical imagination, but I finally settled on this one.
Sage Francis isn't your typical hip-hop MC. He doesn't tow the line of consumerist, commodified hip-hop culture, and he definitely doesn't give you a break if you can't keep up with his bewilderingly intricate and fierce lyrics. His ability to connect clouds of words into meaning will leave you surprised and astounded, even if you profess a dislike for hip-hop.
An Escape Artist is what I'm becoming in 2007; I'll be breaking out of handcuffs and straight-jackets, leaving no foot-prints behind.

 Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
The Stars are a well-kept Canadian secret: their complex and lush music is matched by the nostalgic, eloquent and moving lyrics of Torquil Campbell. Not a disposable indie band by any means, the Stars use a wide range of instruments and their albums are acoustically rich and full of depth.
Your Ex-Lover is Dead is the first track off their last album Set Yourself On Fire and is tribute to the subtle nuances of love and loss. It takes the Canadian experience of pond-skating & the cliché of 'thin-ice' and mixes them into a captivating video.
Their homepage can be found here: Stars at Arts & Crafts.

 Xiu Xiu - Clowne Towne
Xiu Xiu's music is an acquired taste which is easily rejected by anyone not willing to honestly sample it. Jamie Stewart has an incredible skill with lyrics; surreal, dark and at times vague, yet almost too personal. This is not music for sunny days.
