So in the last couple of weeks, I have been in a funk. If it wasn't for some beautiful tunes, I would not have been able to get through it so easy. I still am in a bit of a weird mood, but whatever. The brilliance of Annie Clarke is beyond me. I don't understand how anyone can think of such intricate and beautiful songs in their head. Even her cover of Nico's These Days is one of the most beautiful songs that I think I have heard in a long time.
St. Vincent-Paris Is Burning
Another band that is astounding my senses is the Portland duo, Tu Fawning. Corrina Repp's voice combined with her partner Joe Haege's results in one of the most beautifully haunting combinations that I have ever heard. What ties the whole package together is the funk-derived drum beats and vintage samples. I could not ask more from this magnificent city of roses that I call home.
