When it comes to absorbing music I have a slow digestive system. It usually takes at least half a dozen listens before I am fully up to speed on the merits of a song. Every now and then though I hear something and though the pieces may not have fully dropped into place I know I am in love. Who needs specifics when discovering the hidden glories between the cracks is half the joy in growing older with a song? So when Woven spun into my inbox I had no idea that several minutes later I would be laid out on a nearby couch fighting that urge to cry with happiness at the beauty of ‘She Blows My Amplifier’. And I thought it was only Sigur Ros that could do this. The 5-piece from LA have been on the go since 2001 and August will see them self-release (they were previously signed to Interscope) their second album ‘Designer Codes’. ‘She Blows My Amplifier’ is a lavish primer and displays more emotion than a cinema jammed with DiCaprio fans watching the closing scenes of ‘Titantic’. At this moment in time I feel like a man swallowed by the sea myself. KD
