Cut Copy George Ezra Richard Buckner Tirzah Tracks of the Week

Four tracks that were like musical viagra......

 

Sfw:-
George Ezra - Budapest (2013)



I saw George live at the Thekla back in March and was blown away by this baby faced assassin. His music is a nod in the direction of Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie but his raw, emotive voice gets the ladies swooning. He's only released a couple of tracks but is touring in the UK in September & October and I highly recommend you catching him near you in the next few weeks - trust me, I'm a Doctor!


Flycasual:-
Tirzah - 'Inside Out' (2013)

This was a bit like an intravenous hit, well sort of, it instantly got my attention when I first heard it on a Ninja Tunes staff picks playlist (try saying that after a few) on Spotify. A brilliant track that starts off with a sinister like industrial beat which is at once softened by Tirzah's soothing voice, the warped synths just add to the fun. Tirzah is the protege and school pal of Micachu (Michacu and the Shapes) who produced the impressive I'm Not Dancing EP from which 'Inside Out' is taken. We'll be hearing more from her fo sho'...


Old Pa's Corner:-
Richard Buckner - When You Tell Me How It Is (2013)

 

I have not listened to too much music this week (you know, things to do and all that)  so when it came to do TOTW, I felt it would be a bit of a struggle, then I remember liking a track by Richard Buckner which I had heard earlier in the week.  I checked it out again and was hooked. It is a hard one to pin down. There are elements of folk, elements of Mexicana, elements of rock. Oh! well Americana fits the bill then, Good enough for me.

I for one will be checking out his new album  'Surrounded' (2013). This is good stuff.

Shell Hunter:-
Cut Copy - 'Let Me Show You Love' (2013)

I read that the Aussie 4 piece will be returning with their forth album in November later this year and thought, yikes, I must have missed a single somewhere! Sure enough this was released back in June and it is really growing on me in a big way even though the video is a bit sickly. From its Public Enemy siren at the very start, to its Friendly Fires meets 808 State electro funk. Listen out for the "Go, Go, Go" in the background which kicks in around the 4.30 mark, it reminds me of an American talk show like Ricky Lake or Jerry Springer! Be sure to catch the guys on their tour this year, visiting London Bethnal Green's Oval Space on November 26th. See you at the Bar!

SATURDAY NIGHT JUKEBOX! - Cut Copy - Future/Need You Now

SATURDAY NIGHT JUKEBOX! - Cut Copy - Future/Need You Now

Cut Copy Saturday Night Jukebox

Happy Australia Day to our readers from down under from us at Tune Doctor and here's my slightly belated addition for the celebrations! I was unable to pick my favourite Cut Copy song so blam, you've got two delicious dancy numbers from the Aussie Electro experts!

Cut Copy - 'Future' (2005)

This was the first track of theirs to hit me. Flycasual lent me the album saying I'd like it (I did) but I had it lying around my kitchen for ages before I listened to it. Back in the days before we had a dishwasher, we did it the old fashioned way. However, my husband and I had only been living together for a couple years and hadn't quite mastered the 'wash up as you go along' idea. Every couple of days, we would run out of cutlery or saucepans and look to the ever growing pile in the kitchen sink which started to spread to the counter tops and flip a coin. "Wash or dry?" The only good thing about this was we would catch up on listening to new albums or compilations we'd made. Thanks to that Cut Copy got it's introduction albeit during a monotonous task!

Head and shoulders missed an opportunity

Cut Copy - 'Need You Now' (2011)

This made it to my Top 20 tracks of 2011 and with good reason. It's a fine offering and I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets OMD from it? The video is perfect for the preparations of the 2012 Olympics too!

Cut Copy approve of the new Ikea TROGSTA lights

It has become my ultimate 'driving song' and reminds me of earlier this year on a visit to my mother in law's house down in Bognor on the south coast. It's about an hour and a half drive from us so we put both our 'Best of 2011' on random on the iPod. As we both loved this track we heard it twice, but neither complained or forwarded the track(a true sign of a mutually favourite song). The first time was at the grey and rainy start of our journey and the second later that same evening after finishing a little expedition to Ikea in Southampton. We were driving towards a pretty spectacular sunset with my mother in law in the back seat. I think it was the first time she was quiet(only joking Jan)! If a song can do that, it must be magical!

You know you don't need any more candles, you need more Saturday Night Jukebox!
