BLEEDING HEART NARRATIVE
MP3: Braids And A Necklace

Lightly pawing its way past a busker playing a cheap violin. Everything is probably blurry when you are only one foot tall, especially in this heat. In all of Braids and A Necklace’s initial subtlety and diminutive stature, there is a great big heart that pumps and grows, driving string-led atmospherics that drone, and build; brick by brick, until a pile of rubble becomes a smart wall, and a doorway. You are welcome to walk through, you have 7 minutes to decide.

Bleeding Heart Narrative’s album is superb. It’s available to anyone in the world through Tarturaga Records.

A weekly round-up of people talking British music isn’t good enough. So instead I’ll do it every time I write a new post.

20 Jazz Funk Greats spoke about Queen of Swords in a rather incredible post: “an excerpt from their 15 minute long pandemonium of horror, gargantuan doom music that intoxicates the puny souls of your 20jazzfunkgreats kids and sends them spinning into the limbo of the damned.”

Big Stereo shares Sportsday Megaphone’s “Young Lust”: “the perfect song heading into summer for anyone looking to score their first love. Total flashback for anyone else. Something perfect and timeless about this one”

Four Tet is releasing a new track, showcased here as part of a mix. He has done “techno with an afrobeat/krautrock sensibility” … “These are tracks that make you think of Berlin – Dakar – Detroit - but they could only have been made in London.”
