Record Leopard Hird A Prophet

Record Leopard goes hunting...

Hird: Swedish chill-out, nu-jazz, electro. What more could one ask for?



Please give it a listen. It features the wonderful Yukimi Nagago from Little Dragon (a Record Leopard top 10 of all time) whom you will be enlightened to at a later date.

And I went to see a "picturehouse classic"* A Prophet.



So incredible it leaves you rather shell-shocked. Impossible to fault. Very emotive and beautifully shot. Five stars. Good start to the cinema year, wasn't January meant to be the dry season? And with "Precious" coming out tomorrow one can only get extremely hopeful.




*"picturehouse classic" - thoroughly depressing yet absolutely beautiful film shown at the Picuturehouse cinema

Welcome

Record Leopard welcomes you... popping the posting cherry... and I can say it's all very emotional!


This is a space for me to share my latest musical finds and share them with you. Here's how it works:


1. I go music hunting about once a week with my big music catching nets (last fm, second hand record shops and iTunes)

2. I pick one or two artists I've found and summarise them and why you should listen to them

3. If you don't like my recommendations (which you will) ... I'm not bothered. If you do then whisper them to your friends and get the word out




Just a tiny bit about the record leopard...

Classically trained, Record Leopard went through a big teen-rock phase and now listens to a range of electro, dance, jazz, chill out, soul, acoustic and indie rock. Quite a mix. Oh, and when not music hunting or socialising the leopard plays professionally in shows and orchestras.
