Vanished presences and long-lost sounds
Jennifer Lucy Allan explores the sounds of vanished presences, actual and potential instrumentation, and some old favourites from New Zealand’s 1980s underground post-punk scene.
Jennifer Lucy Allan takes us on a spin around the globe of the most adventurous and left-field sounds. Expect to hear some actual and potential, real and imaginary instrumentation from a new London-based trio, the mysterious sounds of vanished presences found in crossing abandoned spaces in New Jersey, and a cunning take down track from the 1940s courtesy of Greek rebetiko singer. Plus a fizzy long-lost jazz session from 1975, from a jazz giant in self-imposed European exile, recorded in Paris, and accompanied by members of a notorious American funk unit whose deep grooves would later be mined by generations of hip-hop producers.
And, after a good leaf through her record collection, Jennifer Lucy Allan pulls out some old favourites from New Zealand’s underground scene to rock out to.
