<br />
A brilliant, gentle and sombre video for Rhye's track called 'Open'.<br />
<br />
Rhye, contrary to common assumption, are made up by two producers: Copenhagen's Robert Hannibal, and Toronto's Mike Miloh. Despite the elusive nature of the duo, their relaxed sounds and mysterious videos are beginning to draw attention from all over.<br />
<br />
The track itself has a beautiful, light and laid-back sound, that implies emotions and exhibits a real sense of honesty.<br />
<br />
As for the video...what does it all mean?!<br />

Just by looking at the YouTube comments, there is a collection of conceptions, ideas, and possible links to an underlying story in other Rhye videos. So, what next?<br />

And stole your directions, you lost your way home</div>

And you felt like a passenger left by the road</div>

But I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home</div>

Cause there's nowhere you've been </div>

The Californian musician released his debut album <i>The Year of Hibernation</i> in September 2011, and for me, it has taken a long cold year for Powers to come out of hibernation and find me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Described as 'dream pop', 'experimental', 'atmospheric' and 'electronic', Powers' music is certainly eclectic; but there is something engaging about it, which makes Youth Lagoon stand out among others still sleeping in this genre. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While complex euphoric music is no new feat, with different genres of euphoria emerging, <i>The Year of Hibernation</i> is a leafy mix of day dreaming, scenic songs, clever touches and beautiful lyrics that still make sense when you aren't listening to the words. It is easy listening music making you feel 'deep' inside. The digital chords, synthesized vocals, hollow beginnings, and progressive arrangements make the whole record a magical journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In fact, the more you listen, the more you get the impression that Powers himself has been on a journey through this record. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">His words are sometimes all over the places, and even a little whiney and repetitive, but at the heart of them is a world of stories. They are meaningful, even if you're not sure about their exact meaning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Perhaps it is the sense that Powers himself has delved and explored deep into personal wounds, battles and emotions, that makes <i>The Year of Hibernation </i>come to life. It doesn't just feel like you are waking up the youthful hipster in yourself, but it feels like you are part of a very personal, very large following. Despite others being awoken to Youth Lagoon before me, I still feel a magical privacy with the music.</span><br />

Bastille have covered the infamous City High rap song, 'What Would You Do', and it's beautiful. The South London quartet, headed up by Dan Smith, seem to infuse their own style and sound into everything they touch. Magic.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>To Drink:</b><br />
1 Gin & Tonic<br />
1 Vodka + Tomato Juice (#Hangover)<br />
<br />
<b>For Starters:</b><br />
Dillon's support act was made up of a beautiful female vocalist, a guitarist, and another guy doing, well, everything else apparently.<br />
<br />
They made long, psychedelic interludes which would probably have been much more enjoyable if it was 5am on a Saturday night in a grimy east London basement club and I was wasted. However, it was not, and I was not. The music was very electronic, almost tribal in places, and not something to sing along to, with no defined melody or catchy tracks. Nonetheless, the girls voice was rich.Whether she was singing words or just tuneful 'aaaaaaaaahs', I respected the interesting combinations of electronic instruments with clearly 3 talented musicians. But...none of this even matters, because they did not even introduce themselves or say hello. The mystery band of electric music-teers will remain ever <strike>mysterious </strike>nameless from my pallet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>For Mains:</b><br />
What a cute dish. Her voice, although she was feeling under the weather and perhaps a little croaky, was beautiful. The tone and German accent gave off emotions, while the interesting melodies of her songs simmered with the right balance of meaning and tune.<br />
<br />
For anyone unaccustomed to Dillon's music, I think it's a beautiful original concotion, like Lykke Li or Ellie Goulding, with an extra bite of atmosphere. It's quirky, imaginative, and always surprising.<br />
<br />
Again, like the inconspicuous electric music-teers just before her, Dillon lacked a certain value of entertainment, or crowd interaction, perhaps because, <i>it's just all about the music, dude</i>. There was very little conversation, but as things started to relax, she started to get things going, and in a magical instant she had fans, ladies, fellas and the bar staff singing the chorus of 'tip tapping', rather impressively I thought, right from the start of the song to the finish, while she set up the verses.<br />
<br />
Despite her beautiful voice, there was no telling whether Dillon was beautiful in the flesh. The entire set was in almost pitch darkness, with a couple of strobes brightening up occasionally like a flicker of hope, before descending once more into black. I understand the atmosphere, the interesting brooding with which darkness brings, and the rich, organic concentrate of music; however I wanted to see her. It was infuriating not to be looking at this beautiful Germanic creature, to the extent that the personableness of the gig itself was somewhat lost.<br />
<br />
But, she managed to win us back losing her voice in the final encore, revealing that somewhere in the darkness, her cute personality was quietly and demurely singing '[past lover] fuck you. And die. Fuck you. And die' before she went off to nurse a lemsip and a strepsil.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>For Pudding:</b><br />
A walk to the tube in the rain, followed by a good night's sleep.<br />
<br />
<br />

Sometimes hearing things first is good. It ensures assumptions about appearance are not made. It ensures you don't just hear the music, but listen to it.<br />
<br />
This aside, Matt Corby seems to back up his tantalising vocals, with his tantalising looks. Beautiful Song, beautiful voice, beautiful.<br />

Tom Thum, the Australian beat boxer on this track, invited his friend Jamie MacDowell on stage to sing and strum at his Edinburgh Fringe show in August. The song is beautiful, but it is only when you properly discover the complexity and imaginative lyrics that you appreciate the song and genius behind it.<br />

I've got no need for anyone but you. <br />I could get used to losing nutrients and them kilograms, abandon all the food groups.<br />Man, the truth is I would stand upright all night long if you asked me too.<br />
Because that would mean more room for you.<br /><br />There ain't a coat that could protect me from the coldness like you do. <br />Can't find comfort within cardigan, that i can't find in you.<br />I've got no use for, what some would call the usual pursuits, because i got used to the unusual in you.<br /><br />I don't need light, I barely need my eyes, because you turn up on the other side behind them. Just like light, you follow through.<br />And I can make excuses for the places that I said I'd be tonight, if you don't mind, I'd rather follow you.<br /><br />As far as food goes, I'll survive without it, so far I've been fine.<br />Since meeting you, I've lost my appetite, and ain't got plans to find it.<br />Just like fighters meet the bruises, and chemicals will find their users, just like lightning meets the gloom, well I met you.<br /><br />And since then I've been experiencing a longing that comes close to being lonely, and goes in hand with hopeful.<br />It's oh so quotable. It seems, the more i let myself believe, the less the rest of this will mean.<br /><br />Now there's just two good ways to stun a man, the gun, and then there's you.<br />But there's a hundred ways to love you and one hundred ways I'll use.<br />I'll even keep the best of all of them for last, so i can prove that after all, there's even more to look forward to.<br /><br />I don't need light, I barely need my eyes, because you turn up on the other side behind them. Just like light, you follow through.<br />And I can make excuses for the places that I said I'd be tonight, if you don't mind, I'd rather follow you.

In the month of July, nestled among the hazy, green Oxfordshire
fields, wedged between the hustle and bustle of farm life, is Truck Festival.
Not to be confused with Truck Fest, (The Original Road Haulage and Trucking
Events Company...!?!) Truck Festival is a small UK music festival with big line
up.</div>

Truck boasted headliners like The Temper Trap, Mystery Jets and Tim Minchin on
the Main Stage. Alongside these, there are plenty other smaller acts to keep
things cruising. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Funky rock posh boys Theme Park kept the crowd merry, while
folk newcomers Lucy Rose and King Charles packed out the (sweaty) Second Stage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKQ_fhCUKpRMFHJG1scMxesz9lY6QEDiPParB3jUSKkOnA5CbeRaA7N9LEDF-9jsPYx_ztNJmZILR2QeDiE-IIOJX6kYJdCqbQ6-1EiOcDMbySFl_dKuUQcWSjCp_oKeAi10J-ogU/s1600/blog+-+festival+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKQ_fhCUKpRMFHJG1scMxesz9lY6QEDiPParB3jUSKkOnA5CbeRaA7N9LEDF-9jsPYx_ztNJmZILR2QeDiE-IIOJX6kYJdCqbQ6-1EiOcDMbySFl_dKuUQcWSjCp_oKeAi10J-ogU/s320/blog+-+festival+2.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />A personal favourite for me were Man Like Me. Their previous
single Squeeze was featured a few months ago, and sums up the band: completely
bonkers. At one point, the red Second Stage tent was filled with people jumping
around to one topless skinny bloke, someone who looked like the topless skinny
bloke, and a black man wearing what can only be described as a shiny African
woman's dress. Their energy transcended into the crowd. We were now in a parallel universe
where everything was red, we were all dancing in shiny African dresses. And loving it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aside from the music, Truck Festival had a go at the
standard ‘vintage dress’ shop, ‘massage and relaxation centre’, and an embarrassingly
dead marquee disco. The food stalls, despite running out on the last night,
were stocked with local YUMMY produce, and the chips – Oh the chips – kept my
wheels turning. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for the people themselves, there are a few families with
wee ones, and a few too many cocky teenagers, but everyone seemed to mind their
own business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Potential improvements for next year lie with the dodgy loos
getting a good cleaning, the lack of pubs/bars atmosphere, and a serious need
for some after dark escapades. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, Truck is a chilled out festival. It’s easy to get
to, it’s not too busy and the staff were helpful and friendly. If you’re after
hard core clubbing and drugging, Truck is not the right ride for you; but if
you want a little laid back adventure with interesting music, food and
atmosphere, then hitch a lift for Truck.<br />
