steve reich - 2x5 movement iii: fast (vakula remix)

(18/25, i think)

glad people are feeling phaedra, i first saw her perform in oslo at the start of the year and it was one of those albums that didn't necessarily blow me away immediately but sort of snaked under my skin and stayed there (and re-emerged when the weather got cold). gorgeous melodies, gorgeous details. very still.

Both that album and the Jenny Hval record were good singer-songwriter things on Rune Grammofon this year.

Her voice reminds me a bit or Julie Delpy, albeit with a Norwegian twist

or of

oh yeah the jenny hval album was good too! i should go back to it - i got both at the same time and ended up favouring phaedra so much that i forgot about hval somewhat...
