Musical Picks
From Espuma
Richard Hawley
Coles Corner
It helped me get through a lonely time in my life. When you’re in that state you’re desperate not to be the only one feeling like that and songs like this remind you that you’re not the first one to go through that and you won’t be the last.
Los Destellos
En Orbita
They were a big influence on the feel that I was trying to create with Espuma at the beginning. It’s a mix of cumbia, surf, psychedelia and traditional South American indigenous sounds.
Rupa
Disco Jazz
This is one of my favorite albums because of its smooth fusion of disco, Indian music and jazz. The groove is steady and infectious, showing how effective a simple rhythm can be. I love how the percussion holds everything together while the synths add an atmospheric layer that gives the album a unique vibe.
Altin Gün
On
I love how the over-saturated guitars, funky basslines, and vintage synths create a modern/retro sound. Tracks like Goca Dünya and Caney stand out with their infectious vocals and rich composition showing how seamlessly the band fuses past and present.
Spiritualized
And Nothing Hurt
These songs have an orchestral quality about them in the way they build into crescendos. I saw them play live once in a church in Hackney with a huge band, choral backing singers, everything. The space was perfect for it and they had these psychedelic purple bubbles projected across the walls and ceiling, rising upwards with the music.
