Saol Álainn, “Nostroke”
Here’s a beautiful track from a new L.A.-based artist going by Saol Álainn, which is Gaelic for “beautiful life.” There are lots of disparate elements in play here — cathedral vocals, odd lyrics, a dirty house blur, a melodic piano, a sweep of white noise — but the end result feels coherent and new, and any artist that reminds me of the Notwist is always welcome in my house.
