Agar Agar is a galactose polymer used to form jelly As a metaphor itrsquos both totally inaccurate and completely accurate in describing the music of the eponymous French duo In a nutshell Clara and Armand of Agar Agar show that itrsquos possible to have backbone and still do the limbo Theyrsquore unconcerned with formalities or with putting on airs Rather their schtick is minimal-wave-inspired pop that dances between virtual worlds and everyday life between euphoria and disillusionmentThe duo first attracted attention with the debut single raquoPrettiest Virginlaquo in the fall of 2016 next came the EP raquoCardanlaquo and the single raquoFangs outlaquo which contrasted the cyberpunk dreams of the nineties with the social isolation of the present day The music transforms Clararsquos

distanced vocals and Armandrsquos galloping rhythms into an agile togetherness thatrsquos as flexible as it is firmmdashin other words Agar Agar in its purest form facebookcomagaragarmusic

Jazz and harp is a delicate combination not so much because the genre and the instrument canrsquot work together per seacute but rather because someone has already seemed to make them work together as well as they could possibly ever work together Alice Coltrane But Laura Perrudin does things a little differentlymdashunlike Alice unlike the rest unlike anyone else In this Frenchwomanrsquos music sizzling electronics meet soulful song structures and layered vocals meet subtle rhythms As Perrudin drums on her custom-made harp we hear not only the heritage of jazz but also her passion for Golden-Era hip hop grooves She sets text by Oscar Wilde to music by Bjoumlrk tips her hat to Erykah Badu or J Dilla and

all the while does her own thing completely So the history of the jazzharp romance isnrsquot over yetmdashLaura Perrudin is just warming up facebookcomlauraperrudin

Malik Djoudi could probably sing the imprint of his own homepage and it would sound more urgent than the most lachrymose Jacques Brel number The son of Algerian and Vietnamese parents Djoudi first wrote songs in English for bands like Moon Pallas and Kim Tim before deciding to return to French as a universal musical language when he launched his solo career last year with the release of the LP raquoUnlaquo Djoudirsquos voice is as simultaneously ambivalent and clear as Nico Paumlffgenrsquos but it settles about two octaves higher Added to the mix is a synth-pop sound that bears the mark of the French Touch and reflects Djoudirsquos obvious love for Kim Wilde whose song raquoCambodialaquo is part of his live repertoire Bittersweet funmdashthis can only be French

First the world drew closer together and then the borders were raised high againmdashthis is the bad news The good news is that OY refuses to play along Since 2010 the vocalist Joy Frempong and drummer and producer Lleluja-Ha have been making music that distills the world and presses it onto wax in a Berlin studio arms it with a message and sends it back out into where it came from Take for example raquoNo Problem Saloonlaquo which appeared on the celebrated Belgian label Crammed Discs in 2014 and mixed Frempongrsquos field recordings from Mali Burkina Faso Ghana and South Africa together into a multi-layered meacutelange Two years later raquoSpace Diasporalaquo which translates the teachings of legends like Sun Ra into an avant-garde concept album and in doing so rubs salt

into modern-day wounds proves that these artists still have a lot to say both artistically and politically OY donrsquot let borders stop them They simply cross themmdashinto territories that hurt And into territories where the world might be a little better facebookcomOYfanpage
