Silk (Live at Hong Kong Rock Club Sessions)
Giselle Rosselli
I challenge you not to melt.
Also hey I’m back from Melbourne! While I was down there at the housewarming, this guy was lamenting about how he knew Giselle personally and that she was the only girl he’d ever fallen in love with and went on to detail how he’d been a one-man audience for her when she first started out… so yeah, she has a special place in my heart now :3

A Song for Christine // Anathallo
I resisted coming here,
To open the harbors that guard my heart (Jeremiah 23:24).Abide with me, fast falls the even tide.
This darkness deepens, lord with me abide.
And what does not flow freely from you?
Am I convicted of what I say?
Forgive me of this pride that knows your redemption,
Yet shamelessly walks away.And now my life ebbs away,
And now my life ebbs away.
Night pierces my bones, and these gnawing pains never rest.
And how I long for that day… (Job 30:17-19).If my steps turn from the path,
Or if my heart has been led by my eyes,
Or if my hands have been defiled,
Then may others reap what I have sown (Job 31:7-8).Better that I dwell in the house of the Lord,
who upholds all those who fall,
than reap this harvest of a life waged in the flesh.And what do I gain, but the exchange of the truth for a lie?
And a heart conditioned not to feel,
Calloused by the nature of my pride?And now my life ebbs away,
And now my life ebbs away…
One of the most intruiging songs I’ve ever had the good fortune to stumble on, actually through searching on LimeWire for god knows what way back when. I understand the conflict exemplified in the Biblical quotations quite strongly and personally, although they no longer hold any power. There is some fucking incredible instrumentation in this piece, it’s definitely worth your time.

Das Distance // PVT [soundcloud]
This is the other chillwave song I heard, leading me to discover PVT’s (formerly Pivot) excellence from NZ… seriously, tune into 95.3 FM late at night any night of the week and you’ll always hear something amazing that you would’ve never otherwise heard.

Water // Yosemite [bandcamp]
One of two great chillwave tunes I heard driving back from the city after the Sam Sparro gig last Friday; FBi’s Liquid Electric never disappoints.
Plastic Bag in a Hurricane (Live Acoustic) // Pluto Jonze
Not only is he gifted with an incredible vocal range and control, but he’s so fucking cute too! Definitely an up’n’comer :3

All In Now - Dane Tucquet
This guy had one of the most extraordinarily delicate yet rough vocal ranges I’ve ever heard; I wish more people had such characterisation when they sing.

tUnE-yArDs | ‘Powa’
Was totally listening to this yesterday and ruminating on its excellence.
Lordy lordy, what an I M M A C U L A T E voice she has.

Filistata // Stolen Babies
there’s a web inside me
behind my eyes, it pounds and pounds
there sits filistata
it’s growing there but makes no sound
One of the best $5 bin purchases of my entire life.
