Theo Bleckmann, grammy-winning uber-cool jazz tenor, last
month put out an album consisting entirely of Kate Bush covers. I’ll be
featuring a track from this album, plus a couple of Kate Bush tracks for good
measure, one from recent(ish) years, one from an early album.
Other than this, there’s no theme. There will be a bunch of
(mainly British) rock roots plus a smattering of newer things, including a
track from a new album by the French metal band, Alcest. I can only describe
Alcest as what would happen if at the gates of heaven you were handed a banged up
guitar and a wicked set of pedals, and sent off to play in the celestial metal
band. The music is serenely beautiful and at the same time has a thick enough
layer of screaming notes to cry out every moment of earthly existence. I like ‘em.
Come listen. It’s more fun with you.
