Words about music (853): Bill Evans

Music should enrich the soul; it should teach spirituality by showing a person a portion of himself that he would not discover otherwise. It's easy to rediscover part of yourself, but through art you can be shown part of yourself you never knew existed. That's the real mission of art. The artist has to find something within himself that's universal and which he can put into terms that are communicable to other people. The magic of it is that art can communicate to a person without his realizing it... enrichment, that's the function of music.

Morgendust: working on a new EP; tour dates

Dutch '80s inspired rock quintet Morgendust put themselves through five days of intense rehearsals, working on new songs and figuring out how to incorporate recent songs like King of Lonely Souls, High Horse and Predators into their setlist. They have a couple shows coming up, besides further work on Planet Fiction, the third EP they will release later this year.

Flower Show: A Cake In A Daydream

Liverpudlian queer six-piece indie band Flower Show play what they themselves "charity shop pop" on their new album A Cake In A Daydream, which is kind of accurate when you incorporate art rock, glam, New Wave, and a bit of vaudeville. They poke fun at the dating game (Jimmy From LinkedIn), job interviews (I Want To Hold Your Man) and lack of fashion sense (The Morning Horn). The darker bits are covered as well with a slow zingers like The Only Way Is Down and the strings driven rockers Size Queen and Lorraine.

The band's songwriter and vocalist Craig Sinclair clearly has a vision where he wants the band to go: start with the heyday of early 70s Sparks and Roxy Music and let emotions roam freely. Add the wordplay of fellow crooner Ward White and presto: a stylish album that fits like bespoke wardrobe.
