On May 19, 2022, I attended the Steve Hackett show at the Moore Theatre
in Seattle. He played some solo tracks, took a break, and then returned
to the stage to play the complete Seconds Out album. It was the last
show of the US leg of the tour and the band was on fire. It was one of the best concerts I have attended.
Tonight we'll
feature the Seconds Out set from the O2 Apollo Theatre show recorded in
Manchester, UK on September 24, 2021. This recording has the added dimension of Amanda Lehman singing on some of the solo tracks.
This is a superb album and we think you will agree after hearing it.
Blow Up Hollywoodis an underground American rock band. Their
eclectic sound, built over a decade of recording, incorporates many
different styles, diverse as progressive rock, post-rock, experimental,
pop, classical, jazz and ambient soundscapes. Founded by Steve Messina
and Nik Chinboukas in 2001, the group has evolved into more of a
collective than a band, as some of their members have changed over the
years.
We continue tonight's show with the ambient sounds of Tidsrymd from Gothenberg, Sweden and the release
I juliaskan, released September 23, 2018; All songs composed and produced by Johan Ohlsson; Mastered by Joakim Westlund. Their Facebook page here.
Johan Ohlsson: The
EP is called "I juliaskan", which translates "In the Ashes of July".
The title came about halfway into making the title track, during the
autumn of 2018. What I heard reminded me of the forest fires, which
plagued a few areas of Sweden during the summer and were very difficult
get under control.
That summer had somewhat of a
strange feeling to it, because of recurrent thunder with little or no
rain, dry grass everywhere, different reports of the fires and farmers
having to make emergency slaughters due to drought. I won't go into
politics, but I think during that summer the concept of climate change
became something close to home for the first time to a lot of people in
Sweden.
"Dagvild" is a Swedish expression, which
means that you don't know which day of the week it is. To me, at least,
it associatively follows the theme of summer.
The
track "Sinnesro" seems to be your typical relaxation music, but it has
some slightly unnerving detuning and dissonance in there, to create a
sort of contrast.
This is the First EP I've made on
my own, after playing in bands for a couple of years, and I made most of
it quite fast in a sort of rush of inspiration during my free weekends.
I hope you'll enjoy it – or that you'll enjoy something else.
