Fyfe Dangerfield: Spotify Playlist

Comments

His debut solo album Fly Yellow Moon may still be steaming from the press, but Fyfe Dangerfield has been one of QTheMusic's favourites for some time now - When You Walk In The Room was our Track Of The Day back in November - so we are understandably pleased to present to you some of the songs that have shaped Fyfe's career, with a few lines from the man himself.

So here goes:

The Stooges - 1969
It's not 1969, and I'm not American, but this sounds very very cool to my ears.

Arthur Maskats / Latvian Radio Choir - Lacrimosa
Just close your eyes and imagine you're in a huge cathedral. I really love the Latvian Radio Choir, they seem to sing in a purer way that maybe some Western choirs do.

Archie Shepp - Blase
It's like every instrument in this is following a completely different path but the sound of them all together works so well, disorientating but really laid-back too. And Jeanne Lee's vocal is just ATTITUDE.

La Roux - Bulletproof
I hadn't been that into the other La Roux stuff I'd heard but this came on in a cab and I had no idea what it was and it sounded incredible. I've listened to it loads since and not got tired of it.

The Courtesy Group - (Some Of Them Ran Malice) Like A Late Night Filmshow
So I'm a bit biased, ever so slightly, on this one, but the Courtesy Group's debut album has just come out and I want people to hear it! I think this record could only have come out of Birmingham...

Pole - Silberfisch
I found out about Pole purely because I saw a bright yellow cd in a record shop and bought it. I'd never heard anything like it.. music just made up of all these tiny noises and loops.. listen to it on headphones, it sounds like the whole track's crawling around inside your head..

Elliott Smith - Ballad of Big Nothing
I guess this track has a lot of happy/sad memories for me. I first heard it in a tiny flat in Paris. The whole album that this is from, Either/Or is great. There's a melancholy running through it, but also a real effortlessness, a breeziness.

Fat Larry's Band - Zoom
Well I heard this in a cab on Magic FM recently, and I am a total sucker for it. Not in an ironic "guilty pleasure" way, in a totally sincere, shameless pleasure way. There's nothing guilty about Fat Larry.

Harold Budd & Brian Eno
I love the fact that this is so easy to listen to, you can just drift off with it. There's something very much of the night about it.

Nina Simone - Who Knows Where The Time Goes
The song's by Sandy Denny. It's a rough live recording, which just seems to make it even more moving - hearing coughs and things in the audience brings home that this was just a moment in time, never to be repeated. Just so so beautiful.

  • love it man ! saw you in brum and you were marvelous, the technical difficulties were not problem, they added to the fun of it all. Seen guillemots a couple of times to.. I LIKE ! 1969's one of my fave tracks of all times.. Looking forward to the brum band.. I'm from Leicester but drawn to so much music from birmingham just by coincidence, starting with Sabbath.. through to you thus far.. I doubt you'll ever read this but if you do man, then thank you.
