'''Grian Chatten – The Score''' | |||
…they find refuge in a jazz club where the pain is hidden by a concoction of alcohol and other Martian substances. | |||
''I really enjoyed this album. I can see the Nick Drake influence in this song especially with shifts between minor/major and a more stripped down arrangement (this link will be strengthened in a later song). Reign in the headbanging for a bit but be sure, it will be back!'' | |||
'''Count Basie – Splanky''' | |||
The band play an ancient song which may have originated from a place called the “United States of Erica”. Our protagonist contemplates who this Erica may have been to have a set of states named after them. The decent continues deeper… | |||
''As jazz goes Count Basie is the man. My Grandad was one of the main reasons I love music and this was played at his funeral earlier in the year (93 years old!). Had the whole room toe tapping in unison, just as he would have wanted!'' | |||
'''Goya Gumbani – Cloth and Polish''' | |||
Confusion hits, a slurred voice offers substances only known to the new Martian colony and our protagonist disappears, ever deeper into the abyss. | |||
''No idea where this came from. I went out in London and the next morning it was on my playlist… Not a complaint, just an observation.'' | |||
'''泰葉 – Fly-day Chinatown''' | |||
The jazz band start a new, more up beat performance. This time fronted (in the protagonists head) by a Chinese geisha. Unable to move from their seat, they pass out as the band plays it’s final note. Was the jazz bar even real? | |||
''See description above. No idea what I was up too but if it’s pulling out these kinds of tunes then I’m just gonna keep doing it!'' | |||
'''Honningbarna – Avanti''' | |||
“AVANTI, AVANTI” Our protagonist s awoken on the bare surface of Mars in a tattered space suit by an unknown species roaring at them (they are perhaps just Swedish actually). Our protagonist begins to run as fast as possible for the cover of a cave on the Martian surface. | |||
''My mate is in a noise-rock band and suggested this album to me for a 30 min train ride home. By the time I was off the train I had bought the record from the Sweden only website for 400 Kroner. A significant amount of shipping time later it arrived and is probably one of my most played records this year.'' | |||
'''Gorillaz – New Gold (feat. Tame Impala)''' | |||
Still feeling the effects of their binge and unsure where exactly they are, our protagonist sees a glint deep in the cave. A new element which humans can use to power their planets for eternity or just some fools gold? The suit is tattered and oxygen is low… | |||
''Love Gorillaz and thought the new album was a real return to form. In my opinion this was the best of the bunch with (as always) a great feature from Tame Impala.'' | |||
'''Fontaines D.C. – ‘ Cello Song''' | |||
Our protagonist is hidden in the cave with no escape. Our protagonist thinks back to their time on Earth and Mars with distain and says “Forget this cruel world where I belong, I'll just sit and wait and sing my song.” | |||
''Went to a Rough Trade East event hosted by the one and only [[Matt Everitt]] for this Nick Drake tribute album and it was very good. The album is great in general and just reaffirms what an amazingly talented songwriter Nick Drake was.'' | |||
'''Sleep Token – Euclid''' | |||
Our protagonist slips into the night, not death but a life after. They leave the bad parts of themselves behind in the cave and descend into the endless night. "The night belongs to them". | |||
''Admittedly the story got away from me a bit! Apologies it ends on a bit of a downer but it is just a story and the positive, as always on CGR, is the music along the way! Sleep Token are a pretty hardcore metal band who all wear mad masks but my god they make beautiful (if somewhat distorted) music.'' | |||
''A perfect one to end on with a slightly sad lyrical theme but an uplifting feel overall. Hope everyone enjoyed! KYOBC'' | |||
