Kele Okereke in the Listening Chair

Elizabeth hears the selection of Kele Okereke – a piece that sinks, swirls and soars. Plus new music from Kentaro Hayashi and Laurine Frost.

Elizabeth invites electronic artist Kele Okereke to settle into the Listening Chair. His pick is a piece of transportive music that has accompanied him on many a long-haul flight during his tenure as Bloc Party frontman: Glenn Branca’s Symphony No. 6 – a whirlpool of drones and dread that holds its listener rapt. There’s also music from Kele’s new solo release, a collection of hypnagogic soundscapes assembled from looped guitars.

Elsewhere, things get peculiar with new music from Osaka’s Kentaro Hayashi, who channels the forgotten dancefloors of the UK bass scene on his latest album, and the ambient, psychedelic jazz of Budapest’s Laurine Frost.
