Sam Amidon – I See The Sign
The marriage of ageless simplicity and avant-garde modernity that Amidon and the Bedroom Community manage on I See The Sign is simply stunning. It’s creators are aware of where invention and understatement are best placed – the result is 42 transcendent minutes.
SOTD #46 // Sam Amidon & Beth Orton: ‘Thirteen’ (Big Star Cover)
I’ve lost count of how many mix-tapes I’ve made in the past decade or so. Before mp3′s came along and ruined the art of making an *actual* mix tape, there was nothing quite like sitting next to the hi-fi with a pair of headphones, quietly crafting away the perfect 45 minutes of a C90.
Owen Pallett – Union Chapel, London 25/01/10
Easily the best gig of the year so far, Owen Pallett is a must-see act, especially at the perfect venue, Union Chapel.
Shhh! An All Day Celebration Of Quiet Music – Cecil Sharp House, London 23/01/10
Whilst “quiet music” to some may be synonymous with “boring folk gubbins,” the organisers of Shhh! set out to dispel this notion with, to my mind, a reasonable degree of success.
Grizzly Bear collaborator Nico Muhly announces special London show
If you enjoy the music of Peter Broderick, Max Richter, Steve Reich or Johann Johannsson you will almost certainly want to check out Nico Muhly when he performs in the grandiouse setting of London’s Union Chapel on 8th May.
