M83 & Susanne Sundfør Put Sound To Oblivion

April 9, 2013 by Roberto

Like Sigur Rós did before, French electronic duo m83 have just answered the call from Hollywood and composed the score for the next Tom Cruise vehicle Oblivion, giving a clear sign they’re entering the mainstream through the big door. What was originally announced as a solo work by lead man Anthony Gonzalez has been finally launched under the name of the band and its main theme has the vocals by newest Scandinavian female star Susanne Sundfør; their collaboration tops the new edition of our loop.

And it looks like Norway is replacing Sweden as a new batch of new female artist is being unveiled to the world such as Jenny Hval , our biggest entry this week alongside new songs by Vampire Weekend; Deerhunter; The Flaming Lips and a taster from the eagerly awaited new album by Daft Punk.

Check the new edition of the loop here.

THE SHORTWAVE SET-No Social

Collectively nicknamed as Blog Rock, during this decade a big number of new artists discovered by the increasing presence of music blogs online, have grown to be a parallel world coexisting with the big-buck marketing of the four majors oligopoly, being a true engine for the industry’s renewal. Their influence was felt and in some cases intercepted, with some high profile ones closing down and some others watching their contents and ethos being modified. The remaining ones still fulfilled their gatekeeping role with clockwork precision and the following names were among their luckiest findings.

Su influencia se hacia notar y en algunos casos era interceptada, con algunos ejemplos notables cerrando sus puertas y otros viendo como sus contenidos y ética eran alterados. Los que quedaban siguieron cumpliendo su papel de filtro con precisión casi mecánica y los siguientes nombres se encontraron entre sus hallazgos más felices.
