I was on a brief family holiday in Denmark the week before last and had a day to myself record shopping in Copenhagen. Hence this week has been heavy on the Danskrock:
Steppeulvene- Dig
Povl Dissing- 25 Minutter Endnu (compilation CD)
The Young Flowers- Blomsterpistolen
Savage Rose- S/T first album
Savage Rose- Dodens Triumf
Alrune Rod- Alrunes Rod, Hej Du, Alrune Rock
Also-
Throbbing Gristle- A Taste of Gristle
The Butthole Surfers- Rembrandt Pussyhorse
The Butthole Surfers- Locust Abortion Technician
The Fugs- First Album
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac- Greatest Hits
Julian Cope- Rite
Jane Aire and the Belvederes- S/T
And some new / current stuff-
Doug Tuttle- S/T. Pretty groovy semi-psych jams with long spiralling guitar and organ passages. A bit samey but a very pleasing listen.
Delooze- Glass Army. Vaguely Kate Bush-esque singer with bombastic electro-goth epic production. Again, a bit samey on first play but could grow on me.
Amon Dunes- Love. Dramatic singer-songwriter fare on Sacred Bones; a bit like early Bright Eyes. Not too shabby.
Oliver Cherer- Sir Ollife Leigh and Other Ghosts. Guy from Dollboy recording under his own name with help from friends and it grabbed me quicker than most of his Dollboy stuff; a bit Robert Wyatt, a bit Pink Floyd, definitely worth further listens.
