I was a bit unlucky this morning. I managed to hear the musical abomination of Kylie and James Corden murdering the song 'Only You'. It made me realise how lucky we are to have some cracking music in the world, even if it is hidden away from the mainstream.
Today's selection for my #indieadvent24 is a hidden gem from this autumn. Myths 001 is an EP from Connan Mockasin and Devonté Hynes, written and recorded in Marfa, TX as part of the 2015 Marfa Myths festival. The three songs are truly collaborative – each fingerprinted with their distinctive, idiosyncratic take on pop. Stylistically, things move from breathy post-punk (La Fat Fur), to underwater funk (Feelin’ Lovely), to sparse, heartbreak balladry (Big Distant Crush).
So in my second post in this advent of indie music, my gift to you all is Devonté Hynes and Connan Mockasin - La Fat Fur Happy listening!
