For the fourth episode of their "Empty Space" series, La Blogothèque and Converse invited Icelandic post-rock outfit Sigur Rós to perform a song in a cave "somewhere under Paris." The trio was accompanied by a string, brass, and percussion ensemble and performed the soaring Kveikur cut "Hrafntinna." The cave's acoustics make the piece sound even more enormous and breathtaking. Enjoy!
Kveikur is out now via XL Recordings. Watch our quick review of it here:
Last month, ambient musician Julianna Barwick dropped her sophomore LP Nepenthe, among the most delicate and ethereal releases of the year. Be sure to check out this breathtaking rendition of album highlight "'The Harbinger," which she performed live on a lakeshore in Iceland for La Blogothèque's Take Away Shows.
Nepenthe is out now via Dead Ocean Records.
Courtesy of La Blogotheque, here is a live and intimate performance of my favorite song from My Brightest Diamond's latest album, All Things Will Unwind. Here's a review of the album, too. The LP is out now via Asthmatic Kitty. Enjoy!
Thanks to the good people at La Blogotheque on this one. They always pull together some great and intimate live sessions with great musicians. This time around, they've got none other than Thurston Moore talking music and playing some tracks from his new solo album, Demolished Thoughts, which is out now via Matador Records.
The good people at La Blogotheque have seen fit to drop another piece of their live session with Battles. Click here to watch the previous one.
