New stuff from The Smile : Thom Yorke + Jonny Grenwood + Tom Skinner

Beside the music that I love, this is a very discriminant song for testing audio gear, when at about 6 minutes the big distorted guitar comes in.

As I just received the Truthear Crinacle Zero RED, I can compare with the originals TCZ BLUE that are very shouty.

I hadn't heard that one before. Beautiful dreamy ambient feeling I must say.

For me, this one is very much associated with summer, he was 90 years old! at that recording, wow:

Even if you don't know Swedish, you still understand what it's about. Summer, boats and so on, even though the lyrics in the song say:
"My summer waltz, what is it about?
Nothing at all – it's just here"

A friend of mine is a photographer, video maker, and art director. They are known for moody retro themed images with a lot of color saturation. They made this music video with musicians M Ward and Swedish sisters @fisrtaidkit vocalists.

Magic electric guitars.

Very good vibes in this.
The sixties was like the golden era of pop music.
