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
