Album of the Week #4 Hermanos Gutiérrez: El Bueno y el Malo (2022) This week I stumbled across the Gutiérrez Brothers on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert (1) and was entranced. That 2 people with a only guitar each could make such an engrossing sound is amazing.

I’ve since listened to "El Bueno y el Malo" (“The Good And The Bad”) 5 times. Each listen I am transported to a meandering cinematic world. I literally feel like I’m in a movie. I imagine make believe scenes from Paris, Texas (1984) or Dead Man (1995) or some other amalgamation from the cinematic zeitgeist of Mexico and the American west. When it comes to movies often a mood sticks with me more than a plot. Directors like David Lynch (Twin Peaks), Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen) as well as those I referred to above (Jim Jarmusch & Wim Wenders) manage to burn their universes into my mind. This album feels like a soundtrack that setting the tone to a movie I love. A movie that doesn't exist.

Album of the Week #3 St Vincent: St Vincent (2014) After I saw the music video for Actor Out Of Work (1) in 2010 I was an instant fan of St Vincent. But it was when I first heard her self-titled 2015 album that Annie Clark became not only one of my favourite songwriters, but my new favourite guitarist. This album rocks. It hits a lot of what I typically am drawn to with pop and rock albums: taking complex and unpredictable music ideas and delivering them in simple and accessible packaging. The guitar on this album is especially non-stop full of invention, experimentation, and a lot of (different types of) very satisfying effects –not to mention some catchy hooks. The album is dark and anxious; energising and powerful. I love a lot of St Vincent's eclectic catalogue, and I expect to share more albums of hers here in this beloved (but extremely inconsistent) musical diary, but i've been re-listening to this lately, and was inspired to share.

Album of the Week #2 Benny Sings: Music (2021) Benny's music makes me feel like its a sunny day, im lying on the grass starting up at the clouds going by with a gentle breeze blowing across my face. And im absolutely here for that vibe lately. Benny has been around a while and has a decent catalogue that im slowly making my way through, but this is the album that brought me into his music. Recommended by @tummlin to me in 2021, its been in high rotation for me ever since. It's gentle enough to listen to in the background while going for a walk or sitting doing work or hanging at a cafe or hosting friends in your livingroom and sets a tone that i find to be a blance of warm, playful, and gentle. It's laid back dutch-american indie pop with great production (the way to my heart if im being honest), the music is fairly humble, it doesnt get complex or work to hard, its really just a nice vibe. Get yourself some sunshine, shoes off, touch grass, and enjoy some Benny. Gm
