Who is Sigrid? Exploring the Underrated Music of a Young Norwegian Artist

[DennisN]

This is simply a marvellous piece of music, which I heard for the first time today.
It is a cellist who plays to a loop machine, which records different pieces, and then plays them back while she plays new things.

I find myself playing this one a lot...
probably nostalgia, i hung out there in high school.
South Beach was a run down neighborhood then of course it's since gentrified.
That big pink hotel was a dog racing track . A fresh bagel was a nickel at "Beach Bagel Bakery"

Anyhow it lifts my spirits - i hope it does yours..

I am going to see this cool and talented band live soon, which I look forward too.
I personally think Khruangbin is a bit hard to categorize, since they play a mix of genres.

I saw them live last week and it was good and fun, and the audience was great.
Those who have followed this thread know I am a big fan of the Norwegian singer/songwriter Sigrid , and I will try to see her live again since she was so good live. Here are two songs from her performed with awesome energy and talent live, and the two songs have not been released yet on any EP or as downloadable songs, they can only be found on youtube (and I hope they will both be on her debut album which comes soon in March 2019):

Primal Scream - Movin on Up

Feeling sick? Down? Cold? Uninspired? Depressed?
6 hours of Mozart can cure many things...

 

[DennisN]

...and I believe Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy also has some healing powers...

Really, regarding posts #399 and #400, some people really dislike classical music. Not much for healing power or inspiration for such people. It is for some people but not for others.

 

[jim hardy]

Well i for one love classical music and have since the first time i heard it.

Symphonnic treatment of pop music is the trademark of Arthur Fiedler and Mannheim Steamroller, to name two.

After burying our aunt Hazel ca 1992, my sister and i went out and bought Mozart's Requiem on vinyl.
We played it on her old Motorola tube stereo in her still 1950-ish decorated living room.
Sis said :"It's a massage for your aching soul, isn't it ?"

So Amen to the healing...

Don't knock it 'til youve tried it.

Waltz of the Flowers is another spirit lifter.

Rock has its place
Marriage of Figaro overture should follow every somber Wedding March,
then break to

Leonard Cohen got better with age.



Legend has it that Cohen's retirement was stymied by a trusted associate who drained the coffers, forcing the old jazz man back on the road. His loss was our gain if it led to publishing Ten New Songs.

Isn't that always the case? ...

Please tell me, to what genre (?) do you think this song, and this artist, might belong ?*

Ken Nordine died yesterday.
My parents introduced me to his very cool "music" which he called spoken jazz.
It is kind of like weird surreal poetry, with jazz music background, very interesting and unlike anything else I have heard.
Here is an example:

With a voice like that I imagine he could sell you stuff. Google says yes (as does the Times article),

I'm attracted to thoughtful lyrics that one can understand.
He is reminiscent of Leonard Cohen

Ken Nordine died yesterday.

I'm pretty sure that Ken Nordine died on February 16, 2019, not February 22 (yesterday), Bill... .

Wikipedia is usually fairly good at getting this kind of stuff right...Ken Nordine - Wikipedia

Ken Nordine, who died Saturday...

I'm not trying to be an A-Hole Bill, well at least, not to you ... sorry if I seem to come off that way. .

[BillTre]

Yes, you are right.
My mistake.

 

[DennisN]

Cool song, good voice.
