SummersRadio™ NewCover! Tracey Thorn - 'Under The Ivy'
Tracey Thorn has released a new single online - a cover of Kate Bush's 'Under The Ivy'! 'Under The Ivy' was first released as the b-side to Bush's hit 'Running Up That Hill' in 1985. This new version is released on the Strange Feeling label and it features Ben Watt on piano. It's available now on iTunes or directly from the label here: http://bit.ly/1x3LBEp
'Under The Ivy' was inspired by Kate Bush's grand return to the stage in London this year. The original song has a special place in my heart - rare is it that a cover can do such a beautiful song justice but Tracey Thorn's version is also quite lovely... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Ben Watt - 'Spring'/ Everything But The Girl - 'Five Fathoms' (Official Video)
Ben Watt has released a new solo song online called 'Spring'! Ben Watt is best known as being one half of Everything But The Girl - as well as being a dj and record label owner (Lazy Dog, Buzzin' Fly and Strange Feeling Records).
Watt previously released one solo album called 'North Marine Drive' way back in 1983 - 'Spring' is from his forthcoming second solo album called 'Hendra' which will be released on April 14th (U.K.)/ 29th (U.S.) on the Caroline International label.
Word around town is that just about everyone has had their fill of this year's brutally cold winter - and technically speaking spring officially begins in a mere three days. So let us bask in anticipation of spring's arrival with this lovely Beatlesque song... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! From Everything But The Girl's last album - 1999's 'Temperamental' - this is the official video for 'Five Fathoms'... Enjoy!
Saschienne are a duo from Berlin consisting of Sascha Funke and Julienne Dessagne. They released their debut album called 'Unknown' in March on the Kompakt label, and they've just released the title track as the first official single. The two track EP features the 'Original Mix' as well as the 'Dixon Mix'.
The title 'Unknown' doesn't mean that the song is without a name - but instead refers to the unknown itself - as the Julienne sings "This Unknown... keeps us together, brings us closer." The duo - who are also married - remind me a bit of Everything But The Girl - if they were perhaps based in Germany instead of England - as their album is an ecelectic mix of electronica and deep house. Julienne's vocals are also reminicent of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval on some of her electronic collaborations.
This is the new video for 'Unknown' just released earlier this week... Enjoy!
This is another fine track from their 'Unknown' album called 'Knopfauge'... Enjoy!
