Hello and welcome to Quirk’s recommended music mix this week. Here’s what the QuirkStars are listening to:
Jack White - Love Interruption
Shared by Dustin Ryan
The lead single off his upcoming solo album "Blunderbuss". More laid back than the usual upbeat nature of The White Stripes or The Dead Weather and includes some interesting use of the clarinet.
S.Maharba - For Someone (Abandonment)
Shared by Ben Brouckaert
This beautiful slow burner appears on the awesome compilation "Dropping Gems".
Reverb drenched strings, warm synths and a soothing vocal sample melt together in light, blissful ambience. Great stuff.
Die Antwoord - I Fink U Freeky
Shared by Daniel Neville
Exactly what you'd expect. More Roger Ballen. More "zef" rap. Grimy visuals and a catchy tune are sure to please the crowds. As for us, we miss Waddy.
Grimes – Genesis
Shared by Ben Brouckaert
Canadian synth pop producer/songwriter/singer with an angelic voice but a with a darker twist. Starts with a simple bass synth arpeggio, but the track really kicks into gear when the drums come in, rich and full of energy. Layered and reverbed vocals lighten up the mood and round off a well-crafted pop song.
