Utility Fog

Sunday, 8th of June, 2014

We have indie-postrock from Perth in remixed form tonight, and then a big big retrospective on indie violin superstar Owen Pallett, back to even before his Final Fantasy days. And a nod to his nod to the great Ryuichi Sakamoto on the new album. We heard examples of Owen's live-looping covers and his extraordinary string arrangements, and a few other rarities along the way.
Then a few tunes from new French artist Elise Mélinand, bringing great electronic production to her folky songwriting, and then one tune partly in French from UFog faves Carla Kihlstedt & Matthias Bossi' Rabbit Rabbit Radio project (featuring the legendary Fred Frith on guitar, and also Carla & Matthias' daughter Tallulah singing wonderfully in a made-up language.
Then back to France, Yann Tiersen's new album and his previous, both with an inevitably French (and inevitably cinematic) take on indie rock, plus from an EP on the awesome Ici D'Ailleurs label, a remix from the one & only Chapelier Fou.
And finally, OMG Godflesh return! Heavy as fuck, even in the dub mix.
