CMU Playlists
Playlist: Grumbling Fur
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 July 2013
Grumbling Fur, aka Daniel O’Sullivan (Ulver, Æthenor, Mothlite) and Alexander Tucker, release their second album, ‘Glynnaestra’, through Thrill Jockey this week. A layered, experimental record held within pop boundaries – as displayed on lead track ‘Dancing Light’ – it’s a compelling listen.
To mark the album release, we asked Grumbling Fur to put together a playlist for us. They were adamant that their list must feature seventeen tracks, rather than the usual ten. Like, really adamant. And so it does.
This statement provided on their behalf possible goes some way to explaining their decisions here: “Here’s a collection of delightful musics courtesy of messers Tucker and O’Sullivan. Consulting with experts within the high profile world of executive decision making. These decisions were made slightly before you were reading it now. Found inside a time capsule. Hear for eternal relishment. Their impeccable taste is only exceeded by their discreet musicality and flamboyant flair in the fashion accessory department. Employing a top team of farmers, travelling tinkers and milkmen they generated a new system for calculating the potency of their extremely good taste. Brought to you by enhanced humanoid zionist organic computing fellow homosapiens”.
