SnC 346 – Audio treats
As quirky a selection of music as you’re likely to get in your ear all week with tasty audio treats from The Bloody Angle, Little People, Choir of Young Believers, Orfanij, Lola Dutronic and firstly, You Bred Raptors? I’m actually pleased to be locked away in the barn this week, it was raining when we…

SnC 345 – Bodmin Dubbing
It’s 345 again! No it really is 345 this week. I just got it completely wrong all through last week’s show (#344). Doh. Must try harder. It’s CMJ week in New York and I’m stuck here in the UK. Still, cancelling New York relatively late in the day means that the diary is relatively clear…

SnC 344 – Not 345 (Doh) – Interesting …
A selection of the most interesting music I’ve heard all week in this week’s Suffolk’n’Cool. The tracks come from LA, Colorado, New York, Orange County, London and the Faroe Islands and they as diverse as their origins. There’s also a particularly high level of instrumental playing in evidence this week – listen out for Teitur’s…

SnC 343 – The Argonauts – Session
The Argonauts called by on a very hot day a couple of weeks ago to play us a few tunes and have a chat. They may describe themselves as “Four pretty boys from the safe haven of Dedham step out into the real world with their raw and fresh take on the ironically mainstream indie…
-
SnC 342 – No added NYC
For the first time in a very long time, NO tracks from Brooklyn nor even anywhere else in New York. Eight cracking tracks though from Spain, London, Virginia, Australia, Canada, LA and Mexico. You’ll get the tracks at a bit of a canter since I’m getting close to the upload limit on the servers at…

SnC 341 – The paths less trod
Our blast of fresh musical air from the east coast of England this week takes us from the almost mainstream indie scene out into the less trod paths of jazz and some amazing harmony singing. We’ve tracks from Brooklyn’s Team Genius, From Hannah & Maggie, Teddy Presberg, Antonia Vai, Marc Farre, The Gaddabouts and Green…

SnC 340 – Grand Central
Canada, Italy, Australia, New York and The Netherlands are represented in our global roundup of all what’s new along with a spicy bit of what’s not quite so new but really earns its keep. Of course yesterday was the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York. So this week, another picture from a fabulously…

SnC 339a – New York
Having become very fond of New York and many New Yorkers over the past three years, as the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks came around again, I got to thinking about the resilience of the city and the warmth of so many of the people I’ve met there. To those friends who witnessed the attacks…

SnC 339 – Genre bender
We get into a couple of areas which I’m reluctant to describe as electronic-ish music because I know that may well put some folks off listening. As ever, I just ask you to come along with you usual open mind and enjoy the music for what it is, not which genre is might fit.…

SnC 338 – Something Fishy?
An inadvertent fishy theme this week with the show topped and tailed by tracks called Fishermen. The voice of Paige McClain Wood infuses the sound of the Peach Kings with a delicious smoky sound in our opening track from Texas / California and we close out with Icelandic band Útidúr’s song Fisherman’s Friend which itself…
-
SnC 337 – The call of nature
An extended interview with the highly distinctive talent that is Dudley Saunders takes up the latter part of the show. He is an articulate and thoughtful man with interesting things to say about music and the emotional responses it evokes. His new album, the first in five years, isn’t out until October but we have…
-
SnC 336 – Atmospherics
Again, some rather interesting music this week with mostly very new material and an old favourite to close the show. It’s harvest time here in Suffolk, so the air is regularly filled with dust and the sound of agricultural machinery – sometimes way into the night. It is unfortunate that they seem to harvest when…
