Mejores Canciones Internacionales 2014
Seasons (Waiting On You) me enganchó a la primera escucha, mejor dicho a la primera visualización, sí, el poder de la música unida a las imagenes obró el milagro. La actuación de Future Islands en el show de David Letterman, mejor dicho la interpretaciónón de Sam Herring su líder, es de las que no olvidas, u odias la canción o la amas. Para mí, la mejor canción de 2014. Y eso que hay muchas muy, pero que muy buenas.

Mejores Discos Internacionales 2014
Año de discazos este 2014, solo con los 3 discos del podio ya habríamos salvado el año. Tengo que reconocer que los dos primeros, el enorme “Lost In The Dream” de The War on Drugs y tremendamente degustable “Single” de Future Islands, son los dos discos que más he escuchado, pero el de Sun Kil Moon es una auténtica maestra, mucho menos accesible que los que le anteceden en la lista, pero muy adictivo una vez que consigues entrar en su particular universo, un disco especialmente indicado para los que estamos en esa, mal llamada, mediana edad.
Ese el podio, pero es que también hemos tenido discos increíbles de artistas consagrados como los de Leonard Cohen, Beck, Roddy Frame,Damon Albarn y Neneh Cherry; o buenos debuts como los de The Catchers o FKA Twigs. Y dos discos perdidos y encontrados por gente que ama la música que nos son de este año, pero que merecen estar en la lista, el de Lewis y el de The Rainyard.
Estos son mis 15, por supuesto hay más que se han quedado fuera y que podían haber estado aquí, como los de Timber Timbre, Todd Terje, Ramona Lisa…. pero ya sabéis para gustos, colores.
Para escucharlos solo hay que pinchar en la imagen, ya sabéis.
Un gran año este 2014.
