Early morning Grey Skies no problem as the party continues
10. Joni Mitchell – Court and Spark.
I am obsessed with her arrangements and vocal stylings and lyrics on this album. Way ahead of her time here. Favorite track, Down to You.
09. Lewis – L’Amour.
I love the mystery surrounding this ” lost “album. The strange blend of synths and piano and guitar plus tender vocalization are in one word, sublime.
08. Cocteau Twins – Blue Bell Knoll.
I have been having a love affair with this album for years and probably for many more to come!
07. Billie Holiday and Lester Young – Intégrale 1937-1946.
I have been listening to this quite a lot lately with my sweetheart, slow dancing in the kitchen.
06. Rodrigo Amarante – Cavalo.
This album is saturated with so much warmth and sweetness. Often on repeat.
05. Pye Corner Black – Mill Tapes Volume 1- 4.
Mind blowing and perfect for zoning out.
04. Beyoncé – Beyoncé.
I was listening to this the other day and realized it came out last year, but still sounds so relevant! Watermelon? Swervin’ on that wood? Drunk in love? What is she saying? Who cares! It is genius!
03. Tomorrows Tulips – Experimental Jelly.
Just totally sick! You can’t go wrong with these golden California gods.
02. Mac Demarco – 2.
My favorite album to listen to with Charlotte over our morning coffe. My kind of woman. Still Together? Instant heart melt.
01. Bob Dylan – Nashville Skyline.
It just feels so good from start to finish. Call me old fashioned, or out of fashion. It will always be my favorite. I am actually going to listen to it right now...
S. R. Krebs – Grey Skies EP (Her Majestys Ship)
Sarah Rebecca Krebs is set to drop her ‘Grey Skies’ EP on the ever-impressive Her Majesty’s Ship this November.
Following her seminal single ‘She Like’ released back in 2013, the multitalented S. R. Krebs returns with four blistering originals on the French imprint Her Majesty’s Ship. Originally born in America the Mississippi native grew up on gospel, at eighteen she moved to the bohemian surroundings of San Francisco where she really cut her musical teeth – performing in bands such as Thao & The Get Down Stay Down and The Blank Tapes.
In 2008 Krebs relocated to Paris where the musical nomad immersed herself in the vibrant cities electronic music culture through writing and touring with the group Slove; her sensual and uninhibited performances on tour with the collective inspired the new solo project we see her today, S. R. Krebs.
The EP itself was produced in Red Bull Studios in Paris and is a collection of four eclectic originals, seamlessly blurring the lines between icy melancholy pop, indie and electronica. Each track showcases the diverse nature of Sarahs vocal abilities from the emotive and silky smooth ‘Grey Skies’, the stripped back beats, ghostly atmospherics and haunting vox of ‘For Losers’ to the infectious rumbling disco-beat of ‘Talking To Yourself’ that seamlessly juxtaposes the post-punk offering and flirty arrangements of ‘Big Shot.’
All four cuts bring something utterly new to the table; this shining factor brings a certain musicality to the whole release that renders it incredibly listenable, be it at home, at work or on the road.
