Music, eight new sounds not to be missed - Lifestyle

What's new to listen to? Here are eight answers to the most spontaneous of questions. Just a few examples of the sound of the early decades of the 21st century. MAC DeMARCO - Live Full Concert 2019- An obligatory presence, since the Canadian musician of Italian origin is one of the absolute stars of the new indie scene. A pop lover with a perpetually ramshackle air, an elegant atmosphere maker who has such a personal sound that he has invented a definition for his style: "jizz-jazz". He had made think of a new Jonathan Ritchman (one of his declared idols) but then, even with some downs, he took his own road where sometimes the silhouette of John Lennon appears against the light. His latest album "Here Comes The Cowboy" is among the best things of his career. Live DeMarco renounces the sonic atmospheres of his works in the studio for the benefit of an involving pop simplicity. JUNGLE - LIVE IN LA CIGALE PARIS- A collective founded by two London soul maniacs, Tom Mc Farland and Josh Lloyd Watson, two childhood friends who seem to be the children of the Cool Generation British 90s and Acid Jazz and who focus on music that combines electronics and instruments traditional. The project is based on a constant collaboration with prominent names of the new international Soul scene and on the love for live performances. The songs of Jungle often appear in the TV series, are chosen for console games and for advertising. In short, a very Cool group. SPOON - @Brooklyn Steel - They are the project of Britt Daniel and Jim Eno and they have a history that starts from the 90s and which today has given them the status of indie cult band. A phenomenon whose proportions are not understood in Italy but which has a constant impact in the States, just think of the success of the album "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga". "The Spoons started from the Pixies' lesson and then followed a long evolution that encompasses the most varied influences, from kraut rock to the Rolling Stones, from the Television to the Beatles to give some reference points. LIAM HAYES - American, he made himself known with the stage name Plush. A more complex and refined pop apostle who was born from the Beatles and spreads through people like Todd Rundgren, Andy Patridge (Xtc), Paddy McAloon (Prefab Sprout), Jimmy Webb to understand each other. 'out of time Hayes who has behind him a jewel like "Fed" when he was still Plush. His latest work, "Mirage Garage", was released in 2018 only on cassette then following the revolt of fans republished on vinyl (it is found on Youtube) This speaks volumes about the relationship between this dispenser of pop delicacies TREVOR SOMETHING - An American artist who hides his true identity behind this stage name and who has been at the head of the last decade el revival synthwave. An approach to electronics that focuses more on the atmosphere than on the groove, an enveloping but not monochordic climate, rich in rock echoes, the result of a work that is anything but banal on the sources that leads him not to remain a prisoner of easy stylistic features. TAME IMPALA - LIVE AT COACHELLA 2019 - Tame Impala are actually the project of Kevin Parker, an alternative star, pampered by people like Lady Gaga or Kanye West, now considered to be one of the absolute references of indie pop rock sound. An absolutely hipster name that knows how to involve the nostalgics of psychedelia and the 70s without displeasing those who dance with the Daft Punk. All wrapped up in the allure of the lone artist, capable of creating atmospheres that in the world before Covid 19 had led him to be headlining in some of the most important and prestigious festivals. CHICANO BATMAN - LIVE AT DAYTROTTER - Four guys from Los Angeles who already from the genial name denounce their origins. One of the best bands in recent years in combining Latin influences, rock and funk, but without forgetting great masters such as Caetano Veloso and Tropicalismo or Curtis Mayfield. It is no coincidence that they were noticed by Jack White who wanted them as the opening act of his 2015 Lazzaretto Tour. Great feeling, instrumental and vocal ability, a clear vocation for entertainement and the pleasure of merging different ingredients together, as in the more attractive menus. TANK AND THE BANGAS - A brand new band, one of the most pleasant novelties of Black Music. This year they had a Grammy nomination for the New Artist category. To put the band together was Tarriona "Tank" Ball, a New Orleans girl who stood out in the slam poetry competitions. In this environment he met the other members of this ensemble which aroused the enthusiasm of Trey Anastasio from Phish and who in 2017 won the Tiny Desk Contest. A splendid interaction within the group together with Tank's poetic talent and the originality with which they manage to re-read Black music are the strengths of Tank and the Bangas.
