NHT145: NOT FROM THERE: Sich Offnen

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

We are going to go a little bit heavier today.

Austrian/Australian band NOT FROM THERE were not afraid to throw some electronics and other trickery into the standard drum, bass and guitar formula.

Through light and shade, this song travels a great distance in a short period of time!

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Cheers, Andrew Muecke

NHT144: KEVIN MORBY – Harlem River

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

A musical connection can come to us from many different directions, sometimes when we least expect it.

One source which has often caught me off guard, is the TV commercial. Every now and then I get stopped in my tracks.

Such is the case with todays, feature artist, American musician, KEVIN MORBY.

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

NHT143: STINA NORDENSTAM – Viewed From The Spire

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

I first heard Swedish artist STINA NORDENSTAM after she supplied vocals for a band that I really liked.

I enjoyed what she contributed to the extent that I knew that I should explore further – in doing so, I came to realise that she was a unique talent in her own right.

I just love the dynamic layering of this amazing song as it unfolds in front of you.

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Cheers, Andrew Muecke

NHT142: XTC – Making Plans For Nigel

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

Highly inventive British band XTC paved out a uniquely original approach to their music.

Cleverly constructed commercial tracks were driven by super cool riffs, and they were not shy of throwing in a dose of humour on top.

Super stardom did allude them but they instilled a passionately faithful loyalty in their fan base.

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.
