Why do we like this?

I came across this delightful little cover of Ray Davies' "I Go To Sleep" only yesterday while watching Christopher Honore’s Beloved. It’s from Anika, a Berlin-based indie songstress who presents her soft yet spirited vocals against grain rock.

Anika’s got an interesting story: she was originally a political journalist who switched careers after meeting Geoff Barrow of Portishead fame. Since then, she’s been making what Last.fm writes is a mix of "post-punk, avant garde, and dub." I think I'm in love.

This song's from 2011, and there's no news on future releases to be found. If you're hungry for more Anika, check Stones Throw's site.

By Christiana Bartolini on Aug 19, 2014 | L.A.'s Amoureux is weirdly wonderful and wild. Their unapologetic EP, Never Young As Tonight, is twisted and obscure in all the right ways. While each song takes unexpected turns, the flow still lies deep beneath the controlled chaos. Case in point... read more →

Sounds like: Portishead, Elysian Fields, L CON
By Matt Ho on Jul 20, 2016 | Del Bel is a band lauded for their chilling compositions. But their cover of Mazzy Star's "Look On Down From The Bridge" is anything but brooding.  On their rendition, Del Bel strips away the wistfulness and the languor. Gone are the lethargic drums... read more →
