carmina suavia #1 (covering episodes 1-36)



Being on a blogging hiatus doesn't necessarily mean it's time to be idle and let all things music take a back seat from now on only. On the contrary; even though carpe carmina won't be graced with any new music reviews until early august (except for monthly carmina charm articles), music lovers can still count on being introduced to plenty of amazing songs and artists for the months to come. How is this possible, you might ask yourself in astonishment ;) Well, aside from speaking my mind aloud when it comes to (indie) music, sharing my musical musings with you all in written form since 2013, I also come up with playlists for french radio RKC (my journey as a song selector started in 2014) - and it's about time to present these versatile collections of tracks to those especially of you who can't listen (mark the 'late hour' it airs) or haven't listened to any of them yet (next week sees the replay of playlist no. 37 already). So, plug your earphones in, turn the volumne up and listen to bi-weekly musical magnitude and magnificence right here, right now and/or live each tuesday evening on Radio Kaos Caribou (carmina suavia (translates as 'sweet/dulcet songs') is played from 10pm (UK time) onwards). 






Sweet, sweet melodies floating in the air - are you really listening to the music we share?

III: the reviews given (via twitter)



A powerfully staggering, anthemic and feisty indie rock sound 




 Brightly harmonious and vivifying melodic glory, smooth vocal vitality



 
A vibrantly pulsing and electrifying stream of sound, euphonious vocal harmonies



A vivid and suspensefully rhythmic soundscape, dreamy vocal allure 



 
An excitingly playful and vivacious song rich in atmosphere




An energetically dashing and gripping sound, sonorous and ardent vocals




  Brisk vocal drive meets excitingly erratic and jaunty melodic vivacity



A bluesy, groovy and thrilling sound, passionately rousing vocals 



 
A glowingly radiant, melodiously opulent yet moody sound, haunting vocal soul 



Wonderfully sunny and catchy melodic briskness, bright vocal euphony




 A soothing and blissfully buoyant sound, stirring vocal ease

 

 
Warmly inviting acoustic guitar melodies, strong and expressive vocalism 

 


Edgy and ardent vocal sonority, a playfully vigorous guitar rhythm




Heartachingly tender vocal vulnerability, a dreamfully floating sound 

 
 
A delicate, grand and dynamically soaring soundscape, haunting vocal charisma




An atmospherically rhythmic, elusively swirling and spellbinding sound
