The Listening Club - 27th September 2020

Greetings folks,

Hope you're all doing OK and keeping safe. Autumn has hit Amsterdam as expected, and the outlook is grotty, however last night trudging through the rain was a pleasure,  as we were off to see a friend DJ at a local (socially distant and covid compliant, natch) cafe, which was a ton of fun, and a much needed excursion, it's been a while...

Last week chez #LC, @eastvanhalen was in the chair, rocking out with Run The Jewels "RTJ4", which got the assembled bouncing in the way that only RTJ can. Thanks to Steph for the pick, and for sailing the frisbaton across the ocean to west Wales, where @holette has this to say by way of introduction to tonight's selection...

"This probably won’t be a mystery album to many of you. But in another anxiety inducing week in the business of holiday accommodation, I felt like turning to something familiar I’ve been enjoying for quite a while. The album brings back happy memories to me of listening to it in January on a sweaty, crowded train crawling across dusty Cambodia, watching exotic birds fly up from the paddy fields. What a different world that feels now.

I like the songwriting, pensive vocals and fuzzy guitars but it’s the musical fairy dust the production casts that make the songs really sparkle for me. 

Drinking club recommendation is a full bodied red, in the absence of any killer strength Cambodian Klang beer."
