"I had a choice of which night to go and see them at the Tate and I chose The Man-Machine, but for this I chose Radio-Activity. I think I chose it because I was trying to think of records that work as complete albums and the mood of this record as a whole is perfect. I’d say it has more in common with the classical music here than it does with some of the pop or rock records, because they are more a collection of songs that are put together, whereas this is more like classical music where you have a motif that repeats itself at different points over the course of the larger piece of music, which is why albums are so wonderful because you listen to them as a whole! Man-Machine is a great pop record probably even Computer World is more pop. The reason I picked this is that we’re back to this melancholia. There are a few pieces of music that make me feel that – how can I put it – I have a strong physical response to. Whenever I listen to Radio-Activity, every muscle in my body slackens and the blood becomes thinner and more fluid in a really beautiful way. It’s almost as if you are relaxing and giving yourself over to the melancholy you feel, but you try to deny in everyday life, but when you hear this music, it allows you to acknowledge it. The other thing I love about this record is that the vocals are very open and unconsidered. Ironically for a band that has such a high conceit about them, the music is very pure and very human. It’s a classic distraction technique as if to say, “Don’t look at these emotions, look at this technology”."

Better Off Barefoot is a duo based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, they released a charming indie-pop tune, entitled, “When I Wake”.

“Hope you go to sleep now. I let myself fall away. I hear what you’re saying. How did I let you stay? I’m not holding back now. Let go of my old ways. Let go of my troubles knowing we’ll be okay.” – lyrics

‘When I Wake’ tells an interesting tale of a young woman who is optimistic about the future.

The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, soft vocals, and mellow instrumentation flavored with alternative and indie elements.

“‘When I Wake’ is about the process of finding your peace in all the chaos. Learning to let go, bouncing back, and in a new light moving into who you want to be.” – Better Off Barefoot

Better Off Barefoot met in Chicago three years ago. Since then, they’ve been making music together and perfecting their sound.

Bradley produces the music and Elle sings and writes the songs. They describe their music as a mixture of pop, indie, and electronic music.

"This reminds me of my dad. He was into liberation drum circles in the Matabele community in Zimbabwe and he worked with people from that community. This is a record from the Ndebele language. Nothembi is an amazing guitarist and it's a rocking album with amazing synths as well. I've been playing this quite a bit over the past year. I almost got to play with her but she didn't turn up. My dad used to listen to Thomas Mapfumo - who supported The Stone Roses at Spoke Island - and I thought this was really funny [at the time] - I should have asked my dad to come along to that gig! My influences for music were more down to my big brother and sister and my mam was into different music again. It's inevitable that you are influenced by people around you. I'd get Anglo-American punk rock and pop music from my brother and sister but my dad wasn't into that; [for him] reggae was acceptable and maybe Welsh language pop. He didn't engage with music to the point where he had influenced my sound whereas my brother and sister's records influenced me directly."
