I saw Anna Calvi in Florence three years ago, it was the first album tour. She was really good that night, great guitarist and unique voice, and I guess she's still a fantastic live performer even if I didn't like her sophomore lp as much as the debut. On the contrary, The War on Drugs quite disappointed me in the live version at Primavera Sound, but I'm sure they fell into an unlucky evening in Barcelona. They had some kind of technical problems and Adam was clearly unwilling and nervous, far from what I expected. But they sure deserve more than a second chance!

I agree about Darkside, they're so forceful, and so kraut. Deeply sad about your forfait! But Slowdive are too much in a good shape, I guess this is not a mere reunion tour. You're gonna take your chance, sooner or later.

Aren't you going to see them next month? Well, I think you're the lucky one here! And what about the other artists in the Route du Rock lineup? It's such an amazing festival. I've already seen War on Drugs, Real Estate, Liars, Mac DeMarco, Temples, Darkside, Anna Calvi, Thee Oh Sees (twice), Toy, Kurt Vile, ehm...Angel Olsen...and I wouldn't miss anyone of them. It sure will be great, I'm envious to say the least ;)

Do you mean my best concert at PS2014? It's difficult to say. My heart would answer Slowdive, my body Metronomy (who brought me back to life at 3 AM with an unforgettable performance), my head would say Slint, and my soul Connan Mockasin. But Angel Olsen, in the very last chapter of the festival, gave me some vibrations I couldn't even dream of before...maybe she's been the best, yes.

"Burn Your Fire for No Witness" is actually a masterpiece and one of my 2014 favorites so far, even if it's difficult to include it in my personal charts like any other album, because it's so deep, and so honest. Not really an every-day-listening! I saw Angel Olsen just a month ago in Barcelona, on the Primavera Sound closing day, and I'm not ashamed to say that I was covered in tears after the show. She's so true.
