Robert Wyatt – Old Rottenhat
Highly recommended for fans of those recent experimental indie pop records from Astrid Sonne, ML Buch, Mk.gee, Rocky Top Ballads is the brilliant debut album from Copenhagen-based singer-songwriter Fine. “Remember the Heart,” in particular, really gets us with its slacker rock energy. Something wonderfully strange is going on with that off-kilter verse chord progression, which leads oh so satisfyingly into the woozy chorus. From the liner notes: “the album visits both country and folk moods but with an underlying electronic world counter weighing,” which is a fitting summation of this new sound bubbling up, but we’re not quite over it just yet and very much still here for these moments of outsider pop bliss.
