my year in music.
really, i could summarise this year in music by the letters k a r i n d r e i j e r. however, i shall not be that simplistic. to be fair, there is a whole lot of other acts i have been listening to this year. i will mention them here below.
this is the year when i discovered pnau. (thanks lukas)
this is the year when i realised that lady gaga is more than a commercial product (which she isn’t at all, really. thank you for re-inventing pop btw, it was very needed.)
this is the year when i became thankful for that victoria bergsman went to pakistan. (taken by trees)
this is the year when i realised that nothing ever probably will be as good as the 80s in music.
this is the year when i got spotify.
this is the year when i re-discovered kent.
this is the year when air france caught my heart.
i could go on and on.

PNAUPNAUPNAU
PNAU
I really can’t understand why PNAU isn’t bigger than they are. To me, they are one of the most interesting electronic music projects I have ever heard of. Now, I never would have thought I’d say that about a band from Australia, hah. Anyhow, Lukas was the one introducing them to me through the song “Embrace” with vocal contributions from Ladyhawke, a New Zealander singer.
What bothers me though is that it seems like I can get the record from nowhere. Literally, it seems impossible to get hold of. So, I suppose I’ll have to turn to MySpace/YouTube. Again. As usual. I also happened to stumble upon an old piece of Pnau, from 1999 more precisely. The song “Journey Agent” is in fact one of the more loungy songs I have heard in a long time. A bit like Air, just that it was more retro and even more lovely. “Follow me” from the same album, “Sambanova”, also seems very promising. Ah, I love new music discoveries.
