Vecka 9-10. Poplistans framtid

Vecka 13-14   Claes Karlsson   presenterar  Poplistan dessa veckor.  TACK, Claes!

Någon annan som kan vara presentatör??

OBS!!  Som jag skrivit tidigare, så hänger Poplistans liv i en skör tråd. Denna blogg bygger på frivillighet, så det finns egentligen ingen anledning att klaga. Jag har fått några reaktioner, som tycker att Poplistan kan fortsätta. Det behövs gärna några jurymedlemmar till som deltar varje omgång. Eftersom några har slutat helt de senaste månaderna, så blir det svårare. Ingemar och Fredrik önskar mer interaktivitet. Fine. Det har jag prövat tidigare och det har funkat ganska bra. Är det någon som kan vara den som presenterar 10 låtar och skriver lite kort om dem, så är det välkommet. Ni kan boka er i på följande veckor: 11-12, 13-14, 17-18, 19-20 osv.   Hör av er om ni är sugna.

Här är de tio bidragen. 

1 Camera (GER)

Thanks to DIY gigs in underground train tunnels and above ground on road junctions, they became known as the "Krautrock guerrillas". Franz Bargmann, founding member and guitarist of the band in those days, is now one half of the ambient duo Brockmann // Bargmann with Timm Brockmann and a member of the Michael Rother (NEU!, Harmonia) live band. Five albums later, it is clear that any attempt to label CAMERA as epigones falls well short of the mark. Michael Drummer's collective moves through the "gigantic, dynamic space" in thoroughly engrossing fashion, even though the portal in question has widened to admit wave after wave of transnational Krautrock-inspired projects. Once you have found the way in, there would seem to be space for everyone and everything. Bureau-B

2 Hold Steady (US) Brooklyn’s anthemic bar rockers The Hold Steady tell stories featuring a litany of beaten characters on Open Door Policy, but there's light in the darkness Loudersound

3 Normandie (SWE)  was founded in September of 2013 by the singers Philip Strand and Johan Lindström, the two guitarists Joel Felix and Håkan Almbladh, as well as bassist Stefan Timmerholm and drummer Jesper Malmberg in the Swedish city of Örebro.

4 Billie Eilish, Rosalia (US, SP)

As promised, Billie Eilish has finally dropped her long-awaited collaboration with Spanish singer Rosalia, “Lo Vas a Olvidar (You Will Forget Her).”

5 Ball (SWE)  When 70’s hippies goes Satan! From out of the blue, Ball came rockin’ into the scene for me, a Swedish trio lead by the mysterious Syrék Ball and his 2 older brothers. Going just short of 33 minutes it’s perfect when you don’t have an hour to spend. It’s an original sound mixing some Black Sabbath riffs, some dirty 70’s sounds and a bit of spacey sounds to make you think of those good ol’ Hawkwind years. Morefuzz.com

6 Katy Kirby (US)  is a songwriter and indie rock practitioner with a writerly focus on unspoken rules, misunderstandings of all kinds, and boredom. An evangelical upbringing devoid of pop music has given this Texas singer-songwriter a sound all her own. She describes it as “the weirdest and one of the darkest experiences that I’ve had – trying to rewire my brain to not have a loving God that’s ever-present in it”.The Guardian

7 Painted Shrines (US) s a new project from Jeremy Earl of Woods and Glenn Donaldson of Skygreen Leopards. Their debut album is called Heaven and Holy  Pitchfork

8 Cloud Nothings ((US)  As the Cleveland band returns to Electrical Audio at full force, they retain their penchant for rueful concision and world-weary chronicles of pandemic existence. Pitchfork

9 Melvins (US)  Working with God is the 24th album (not including split albums) by the Melvins.The second LP from the band's retooled 1983 lineup touts heavy riffage and juvenile jokes. COS

10 Nick Cave  & Warren Ellis (Aus) Nick Cave’s cinematic work with his bandmate Warren Ellis is a slight departure from last decade’s trilogy of albums. It’s defined by its stark contrasts, at turns brutal, surreal, and romantic.
