2016-11-29 13:59 CET Frank Ocean will play NorthSide The exceptional singer will play his first ever Danish festival show at NorthSide The two most anticipated releases this year have come from Radiohead and Frank Ocean and having already put the English band on the poster, it's great to now be able to add another headliner in the form of the extremely talented and always surprising Frank Ocean. It's been incredibly exciting to follow Frank Ocean's career from the release of "Nostalgia, Ultra" - a mixtape, which included the singles "Swim Good" and "Novacane" - to collaborations with Odd Future and Jay-Z and Kanye West not to mention Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, and James Blake, who have drawn on Frank Ocean's unique ability to write beautiful and heartfelt songs. But his most important contribution to the history of music is obviously the albums "Channel Orange" and the long-awaited "Blonde". The debut album was universally hailed as a masterpiece and the mystique of Frank Ocean as a person and his decision to play a select few concerts only made people’s curiosity greater. Therefore, there was enormous pressure on the then 25-year-old singer to come up with a quick sequel that could build on the great success and the even greater interest in the unique talent. Instead, Frank Ocean disappeared from the Earth's surface and appeared only rarely until he in July 2016 began to drop hints that he would release an album this year. After numerous fake outs, "Blonde" was officially released in August, and the result was an album that is unpolished, challenging, beautiful, and unlike anything else you'll find on the music scene today. Frank Ocean has only visited Denmark once. It was in 2013, when he played in Copenhagen, and since then concerts anywhere have been few and far between. Therefore, it is quite exceptional that Frank Ocean has agreed to play his first Danish festival show at NorthSide - which is one of only a few festival shows worldwide. Frank Ocean will play Friday, June 9th at NorthSide - We are very excited that we have managed to get our guests’ two most requested acts for next year's NorthSide line-up. Radiohead and Frank Ocean are very rare guests in this country, so it's absolutely amazing that we’ve managed to book them both for the same year, says spokesman for NorthSide, John Fogde, who expects this will add even more momentum to the interest in tickets, which are already selling faster than at any time before in the festival's history. The line-up for NorthSide 2017 so far is as follows: Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Run The Jewels, Bastille, Thomas Helmig, MØ, Veronica Maggio, Phlake, Liss, and Bisse. NorthSide 2017 can be experienced in Aarhus, Denmark on the 9th – 11th of June 2017 and tickets are available through NorthSide.dk.

The Very Thought of Long Beach, CA Immediately Brings O.G. Culture to Mind
The very thought of Long Beach, CA immediately brings O.G. culture to mind. You can practically see those classic Snoop Dogg and Warren G videos on repeat at the mention of the city. For as inextricably connected to West Coast hip-hop as the LBC may be, it gives rise to a fresh and fiery voice for soul in Giveon. With nearly half-a-million independent streams to his credit and acclaim by everyone from Flaunt to HotNewHipHop, the Long Beach-born singer and songwriter infuses Rat Pack-style classiness into modern R&B. “It’s a different perspective,” he explains. “There’s soul to it. There’s pop to it. However, I want to speak on relatable things everybody thinks about but nobody says—in a classy way. The goal is just to be Giveon.” One of three brothers raised by a single mother, he gravitated towards music at a young age. He initially found inspiration in Frank Ocean and Miguel between performing at school functions. As he recalls, “Mom did a really good job of sheltering us, so we didn’t fall into what was going on outside like the gang culture and poverty.” Attending a GRAMMY® Academy program at eighteen proved transformative as the instructor implored him to perform Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon” for a project. “I had an epiphany after initially hearing Sinatra,” he says. “It was the very first time I heard a baritone singer. I got into Bobby Caldwell and Barry White from there. I realized my tone at this point.” Developing his own baritone delivery, he caught the attention of another Long Beach local and multiplatinum singer and songwriter AUGUST 08 [DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber] who served as an initial mentor.

Friends That Break Your Heart
:: View email as a web page :: For a year now, I have been hosting an indie rock podcast called Indiecast with my friend and fellow critic Ian Cohen. As you might assume, it was a weird time to start an indie-rock podcast! Imagine launching a podcast on how great the Titanic is ve minutes after the iceberg hit — that’s what it was like. (Yes, I know that podcasts did not exist in the 1910s but let’s not take this analogy literally.) But even if it was a struggle at times to keep the discourse chugging along during a music industry shutdown, it was still a pleasure to wave the Indiecast ag. The best part is denitely our Indiecast listeners, the community of music nerds who turn to our show because nobody else in their lives wants to talk about Deerhunter, emo, and jambands. We welcome you all into our hearts, and we are grateful that you have welcomed us into yours. Check out our anniversary episode and subscribe to the pod here. -- Steven Hyden, Uproxx Cultural Critic and author of This Isn't Happening: Radiohead's "Kid A" and the Beginning of the 21st Century In case you missed it... The new Indiecast visualizer discusses Sling, the disarming and low-key sophomore album from Clairo. Check that out above or right here, and revisit out the full collection of Indiecast visualizers here. The latest episode of Indiecast also inducted a few more under appreciated albums into the Hall Of Fame. Jack White wants you to check out his impressive visual art (and his new blue hair).

WRCU 2/10 ROTATIONS RIYL = Recommended If You Like
WRCU 2/10 ROTATIONS RIYL = Recommended If You Like Alone, Omen 3 by King Krule RIYL: Cosmo Pyke, Ariel Pink The chameleonic singer-songwriter is gearing up for the February 21st release of his next album, Man Alive!, with single "Alone, Omen 3", which displays elements of both the stark, rough-shod post-punk of his first record, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, and the more eclectic art pop leanings of his second, The OOZ. But "Alone, Omen 3" also hints at a new, psychedelically inclined direction for Marshall, featuring a more understated vocal performance and a woozy, meditative tone. By Colin Jones Run by Joji RIYL: James Blake, Rejjie Snow George Kusunoki Miller began his online career as Filthy Frank (a sketch comedy act), transitioned to Pink Guy (a comedy rapper), and finally realized his full musical form as Joji, the lo-fi hip hop artist inspired by Donald Glover and influenced by electronic and R&B music. On “Run,” a haunting, mysterious electric guitar snakes its way through the song supported by heartbreaking lyrics. Imagine you’re driving along a coastal highway, top-down, feeling the wind, letting the song’s words wash over you, and thinking of your last great love...all while wearing a bad-ass, black leather jacket. That’s what this song is like. By Chase Garvey-Daniels Shangri-La by EOB RIYL: Radiohead, The Postal Service Shangri-la is one of three singles released ahead of Radiohead frontman Edward O'Brien’s upcoming album, which will be called “Earth”. This is O’Brien’s debut album as a solo artist, marking the end of (or at least a break from) his 20+ years with Radiohead.
