Looking at Little People
Little People, in all seriousness, is neither little nor “peopled”, in the plural sense of the word. Rather, it’s one dude with a big sound. The one-man, trip-hop icon derives his inspiration from all things classic(al) — whether it be Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata (cue “Moon”) or old school funk (cue “Above the Clouds”), Little People’s music simultaneously preserves and elaborates on musical canons of several genres. It’s like ancestor worship in avant garde form: pay respect to your forefathers by making trippy muses of them. Download half of Little People’s album, Mickey Mouse Operation, gratis here and his EP, Bits & Pieces, here.

Bjӧrk: Biophilia
Over four years after the release of Volta in 2007, Bjӧrk’s latest album Biophilia built up quite the hype as Bjӧrk fanatics followed her every move, from the gradual release of each track as part of the world’s first app-album in collaboration with Apple to the impressive live performances as part of the Manchester International Festival, in which she introduced her new tracks with instruments such as a tesla coil, a bespoke organ and a pendulum that produces musical rhythms from the earth’s gravitational pull. Now as the entire album has been released, it is no surprised that Bjӧrk has once again completely transformed her stylistic accomplishments with an impressive display of instrumental compositions, conceptual design and sheer bravado.
