Primavera Sound 2018 divulga programação (e tem Brasil nela!)

O Primavera Sound, um dos melhores festivais do mundo, soltou neste domingo (já segunda-feira lá na Espanha) sua programação para este ano. A lista é imensa e tem nomes como Arctic Monkeys (que lança disco novo em breve), Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Björk, The National, Fever Ray, trilha sonora de Stranger Things ao vivo, Spiritualized... e Metá Metá! O festival de Barcelona será realizado entre 28 de maio e 3 de junho. A edição portuguesa do festival, Nos Primavera Sound, será entre 7 e 9 de junho no Porto e ainda não tem programação divulgada, mas é sempre uma versão reduzida do line-up do evento espanhol. Edições prévias do festival tiveram outros artistas brasileiros na programação principal, como Caetano Veloso, Elza Soares e Seu Jorge (tocando David Bowie), além de artistas da cena indie nos palcos menores, como Câmera, Quarto Negro, O Terno e Water Rats.

La Blogoteque em São Paulo

Ainda faltam os vídeos da A Barca e Apanhador Só, mas todos os outros já lançados você pode assistir abaixo, começando pelo curta-metragem que fizeram com esses mesmos artistas, intitulado "Arua Amusica", no qual falam sobre suas relações com a capital paulista.

O que os outros acharam como os melhores lançamentos de 2012

Melhores músicas de 2012 na escolha do Meio Desligado

Lista feita a pedido do ótimo blog Hominis Canidae para uma parceria deles com o pessoal do Coquetel  Molotov (responsáveis pelo festival de mesmo nome, um dos eventos musicais mais interessantes do Brasil), para o programa de rádio destes. Assim como todas as listas, é uma seleção limitada da grande produção nacional de 2012, mas que segue um recorte estético de acordo com o Meio Desligado e que reúne alguns dos principais "hits pessoais" (as músicas que mais ouvi) desse ano.

• Leonardo Marques - "Linha do trem" (Dia e noite no mesmo céu)

ARGENTINA: Zonaindie

Olga - Dolor De Nuevo 

Before you ask, Olga is not a solo artist but a band led by Roger Delahaye with Florencia Zavadivker and Luciano Lasca. Together they deliver electronic pop songs that near perfection, so it was hard to pick just one for MAP. Olor De Nuevo is our favorite from their new album, Gracias Tonales, which you can stream and buy from Bandcamp. 

AUSTRALIA: Who The Bloody Hell Are They? 

Sunk Junk - Jr
If Sunk Junk represent the calibre of young bands coming out of Oz, no-one can justify not being able to find decent new music ever again. Sunk Junk have only released one home recorded EP, but it's definitely the most impressive thing we've heard all month. The elaborate percussion in Jr only feeds this assertion - weaving its labyrinthine way around intricate guitar lines and a hypnotic croon that could be easily mistaken for Jeff Buckley's ghost. A sprawling track which teeters on the stark side of melody and mania, Jr is definitely a marker of good things to come from this band.

AUSTRIA: Walzerkönig 

Clara Luzia - Morning Light 

Morning Light contains some of my favourite lyrics: "We held hands and cried until the morning light". Isn't the idea of sharing one's sadness with someone else just such a beautiful thought? After four successful records in Austria, singer-songwriter Clara Luzia recently released her international debut album The Range, a compilation of songs from her previous albums. 

BRAZIL: Meio Desligado 

Metá Metá - Man Feriman 

Ethno math-rock could be a way to try to explain the sound of Man Feriman, a song from the album MetaL MetaL from Paulistan project Metá Metá. Sung in Yoruba (a West African language), it has elements of African liturgical music, free jazz and alternative rock, with a three-verse lyric that is repeated over the song to create an experimental, dark mantra. 

CANADA: Quick Before It Melts 

Elephant Stone - Heavy Moon 

Montreal "Hindi rockers" Elephant Stone defy easy categorization. Echoes of The Stone Roses, The Kinks, Sloan and Big Star abound, but in the end the band crafts their own unique sound. Their sophomore self-titled LP is due early in 2013, but Elephant Stone have been teasing Canadian fans for the past few weeks with Heavy Moon. 

CHILE: Super 45 

Protistas - Granada 

In just a few years, Protistas has become one of the most active bands in the Chilean indie rock scene. They frequently perform in Santiago, with appearances on blogs' multimedia shows and local festivals (Primavera Fauna, Pulsar), along with tours across Chile and Argentina. They have released two albums and an EP since 2009. Their melodies combine the poignancy of Sebadoh with the urgent impact of Guided By Voices, in a style they've named "wild pop" - bittersweet songs with an explosive, intense guitar sound. 

CHINA: Wooozy 

Rainbow Danger Club - The Gathering Of Fools 

As one of Shanghai's most talented new bands, Rainbow Danger Club has been wowing music fans since 2010. Their theatrical live shows, fantastical lyrics and lush arrangements have drawn comparisons to Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Hector Berlioz. Last month they released their new 12-track Into The Cellar EP. 

COLOMBIA: El Parlante Amarillo 

Lucrecia Dalt - Conversa 

Lucrecia Dalt's musical journey has taken her from the city of Pereira to Barcelona, Spain, where she currently lives. With guitar and drum machine she makes introspective music with many layers that stirs the imagination of the listener. She has traveled the road of independence and now with Conversa, from her 2012 album Commotus, she grabs our attention again. 

DENMARK: All Scandinavian 

The Woken Trees - Orders 

I know December is supposed to be all about lights and happy times, but here's a MAP exclusive track and a band that is almost exactly the opposite. There are six of them, they call themselves The Woken Trees and they've recorded an awesomely bleak and hard-hitting post-punk debut album which is sure to make waves everywhere when released on January 28. 

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: La Casetera 

Juango Dávalos - 6PM 

Juango Dávalos borrows his musical inspiration from the 80s, but the songs he composes are surprisingly fresh and modern. 6PM is part of his most recent album, Réplica, which is also available as a free download.

ECUADOR: Plan Arteria 

Swing Original Monks - Tucán 

Swing Original Monks broke into the musical scene in early 2010. The band offers a proposal that is both visual and aural, feminine and masculine, provocative and subtle. The inventiveness of these musicians extracts the essence of popular music with the picturesque landscapes and absurdities of our society. Swing Original Monks is not a fusion band, it's an infusion band. 

ENGLAND: The Guardian Music Blog 

Swiss Lips - Carolyn 

Swiss Lips are a five-piece from Manchester who are more Delphic than Courteeners. Carolyn is part of the city's electronic history rather than its less illustrious trad-rock one. They use the fizzy electro-pop medium to express feelings of longing for better days. "Most of the songs we've written seem to be about looking back on being a teenager and that wide-eyed optimism about the world," they say, which might explain the giddy chorus to Carolyn - "Hey, hey, Carolyn, get into my car/Keep your feet up on the dashboard" - and its memory of illicit abandon. 

FINLAND: Glue 

Murmansk - Mercury 

Helsinki band Murmansk play loud noise-rock built from powerful guitars and upfront bass and drum beats. Their songs are notable for their propensity for melody and the energetic performance of vocalist Laura Soininen. Mercury is part of the band's recently released third full-length album Rüütli.

FRANCE: Yet You're Fired 

Lescop - La Forêt
Mathieu Lescop, singer for the rock band Asyl, recently started a solo project and released an eponymous album in October under the name Lescop. Heavily influenced by the French (Étienne Daho, Daniel Darc) and British (Joy Division, New Order) coldwave and new-wave, he achieved much success in France with his single La Forêt, and consequently is the most talked-about artist in the country. 

GERMANY: Coltran 

Binoculers - Monsters 

Binoculers is an artist you might easily overlook, given the reserved attitude of Nadja Ruedebusch. But you would miss some of the most thoughtful folk music Germany can currently offer. This is the kind of thing you might like to hear on a foggy winter's day or a sparkling spring afternoon when you lay down in the grass for the first time that year. Binoculers' third album, There Is Not Enough Space In The Dark, has just been released.
