Låt oss presentera Playground Playlists – idag: Sounds Of Domino – Wild Beasts’ favorites
Playground har nu skapat en Spotifyprofil för att kunna dela med sig av grymma spellistor. Här på hemsidan kommer vi dagligen att presentera nya spellistor som vi har lagt till på Spotify, och dessa kommer vi framöver hålla uppdaterade. Du kan välja spellista bland den genre som passar dig bäst. Vi kommer att tipsa om bra musik inom allt från pop till metal, samt fixa bästa festlistan inför helgen varje fredag.
Vi kickar igång det här med något alldeles unikt. Vi kallar det för Sounds of Domino, där du kan lyssna på dina favoriters favoriter!
I samarbete med Spotify och Domino Records Co kommer vi veckovis att presentera en ny playlist skapad av kända band och artister. Där har de gjort en topplista av de låtar de tycker bäst om just nu. På så vis kan du lyssna på samma musik som ditt favoritband gör, direkt via ditt Spotifykonto. De har även motiverat varje låtval med personliga kommentarer som du kan läsa här på Playground.
I och med första Sounds of Domino någonsin, presenterar vi:
Wild Beasts’ Favorites
1 Aphex Twin – On
“A scattering electronic synth and a trademark breakbeat make this one of his more accessible numbers” (Chris)
2 Bjork – Aurora
“My favourite track of hers. From the sound of walking in the snow at the beginning to the line “I wish to melt into you”” Beautiful. (Tom)
3 Boris – Farewell
“A gentle starter that suddenly descends into pure white noise abstraction” (Benny)
4 Talk Talk, The Rainbow
“An air of accidental perfection carries throughout. Just when it seems to be collapsing under it’s own weight the song swells into a blissed out crescendo. Stunning” (Chris)
5 Gang Gang Dance – Untitled (Piano)
“They have a way with melody, not that they’d ever admit it. I love the stasis” (Tom)
6 Austra – Beat And The Pulse
“Propelled by its hypnotic drums and melodic synth arpeggios, with a haunting hook that gets under the skin” (Benny)
7 Salem – King Night
“High octane instrumental. Much prefer this to their more wordy numbers” (Chris)
8 Tyler, the Creator – French
“Another winning introduction. An early indication that we might have a new generation upon us” (Tom)
9 Talking Heads – This Must Be The Place
“Rhythmically it’s a driving force, but at the same time somehow gets the balance just right by feeling raw and exposed” (Benny)
10 Kanye West – Dark Fantasy
“An audacious way to open any album” (Nathan)
11 Tyler the Creator – Bastard
“Brutal, offensive and quick witted, this isn’t for the faint hearted” (Chris)
12 Tom Waits – Underground
“One from my youth, still one of the best introductions to a musician I’ve ever had. A master arranger” (Tom)
13 Nick Cave & Warren Ellis – Martha’s Dream
“Great atmosphere with a stunning violin Performance” (Benny)
14 Portishead – We carry on
“Intense and unrelenting, gorgeous production that seems to unravel new threads on every fresh listen” (Hayden)
15 The National – Run Away
“One of my favourite bands of the last couple of years, it’s was a pleasure to catch them on the same festival bill several times last Summer. This was their set opener, a gentle way to greet the masses” (Chris)
16 Josh T. Pearson – Woman, when I’ve raised hell
“We’re crowded with bass frequencies, software, compression. This is in direct contrast, barely finished, barely there, very beautiful” (Tom)
17 Grouper – Heavy Water/I’d Rater Be Sleeping
“Stripped back, wonderfully simple and very sleepy. Not a song to listen to whilst operating heavy machinery, but when all is still it’s perfect” (Benny)
18 Fuck Buttons – The Lisbon Maru
“’Up’ music if there ever was such a thing. Strides with a beautiful swagger. Deafening but delicate, if that makes any sense” (Hayden)
