If There Is Hell Below Podcast... The Unskippables

RSS

Down tools and sack-off your work load, it’s the If There Is Hell Below podcast… Rob and Callum have unintentionally pulled together 3 songs with loosest connections to the ‘Big Star’ sound and Alex Chilton’s little circle of influence. The other songs jump from a new cut from Gonjasufi’s latest desert hip hop trip, Conduits; a shoegaze band who refuse to be called a ‘shoegaze band’ – so some shoegaze from them. An incredible track jazz/hip hop/Marvin Gaye-a-like track from BJ and the Chicago Kid, a lovely little tender moment from Elijah Forrest’s project Terrors, some Brazilian psych fuzz and Young Governor leading our Big Star family tree.

Think of a bad British man from the 70s and you know they either have an incredible Glam Rock record collection or were a successful Glam Rock recording artist. There’s no Glam Rock in this, Rob and Callum are the good guys, and 2012 loves a good guy. The good stuff on this pod includes: Afro-disco of Sinkane, clean Russian sophistico-pop by Galway, Frankie Rose with the beat that defined the 80s, Of Montreal’s new one, melancholy pop beauty from Elliot Smith and Alex Chilton, Peaking Lights provide a hangover from 2011 and other delights.

Rob & Callum, they got some hot new artists and we're aware this may make us sound like Jo Whiley, Zane Lowe, Steve Lamacq and other fellow zero quality control disc jokecys. There's some garage punk rock n roll from France, Musique concrète Can cover from Mr. Chop, a track from one of our top 75 favourite electronic Swiss artists Dimlite, some sun-tinted pop from Bear Driver and New Lines... Hot enough for you? Well there's more besides, but you'll have to listen and find out.
