BBC Radio 3 Late Junction: „Songs of Apocalyptic Hope“ … anhören …
Verity Sharp shares some of the first releases of the year from the realm of the adventurous. Starting with music from Acocope, the name of a new C.A.N.V.A.S compilation that invites artists to deconstruct pop in the spirit of apocalyptic hope.
Elvin Bradhi, Lugh and Olan Monk have invited CURL’s Alpha Maid and Nadah El Shazly, among others, to come together to make a ‘greatest hits of a half-remembered era of reduced attention spans and blown out pop nihilism’. We feature Alpha Maid’s take on the theme.
Also on the programme: a new release from Ghanaian band Alostmen, whose music is based on the Frafra tradition of the kologo, a stringed lute; an unsettling take on the wassail tradition from Kemper Norton to see in the new year; and a brand new release from ‘experimental metal’ duo Senyawa. Senyawa’s new album combines animist mythology, guttural throat singing and traditional Indonesian instrumentation.
