Playlist 350 - Apr 7 2015

We kicked off this week with some classic Luna who are reforming to play some shows this year. Especially beautiful about this song is the driving bassline by Britta Phillips. The new single from Swedish duo Death & Vanilla, another gorgeous wash of dreamy psych pop.

The new Aloa Input album has lovely shades of early Beck and the Beta Band a bit, the latter are in there too from 1997 sounding like Beck jamming with Can.

A couple of great Tropicalia cuts, Os Mutantes from 1968 and Gal Costa putting the cosmic soul back into acid rock.

Lower Dens not neglecting the motorik, Smile Down Upon Us with some wonderfully daft and breezy pop music.

Jean-Claude Vannier marshalling a female choir of chants and footstamps and fingerclicks. And August Wells feat. Ken Griffin ex Rollerskate Skinny channelling Scott Walker beautifully.

More on these pages.
