Week Two: Let’s Start a Movement!

We may go through darkness but we can see lights ahead; they’re bright, and they’re not that far away. So let’s listen to London-based, soul safe bets Speedometer and let’s start a movement. Of course, of course, pitfalls and sorrows are plentiful. In Lisbon, Clā reminds us that we can’t breathe in closets. In Madrid, Colectivo da Silva is looking for a way out. French collective Catastrophe very soothingly outlines that nature will thrive when we humans are gone. Somewhere between Paris and Caracas, La Chica is overtaken by nightmares. In Spain, in Dani’s city, tears are flooding the streets. And just as in Klitclique’s car (Austrian plates), men are still steering the wheel: « giving directions since 3.000 years » … But let’s listen to French belle Yelle now, she says she still loves you and you should believe her. Let’s go to Vienna and follow Kerosin95’s advice to break the gender status quo. Now, let’s be down-to-earth, let’s listen to Prince Fatty’s chorus and take people as they are. Let’s stop listening to frauds on TV - Welsh Melin Melyn call them « mwydryn ». 

Let’s work, let’s do as the delightful Lovely Eggs do and give leave to television, anabolic steroids and other salted popcorn. Aren't we alive as much as the anglo-french duo TTRRUUCES? Moreso, Khruangbin tells us we have time, so let’s sing with The Housemartins (and the Isley Brothers before them), so that this summer we all take a stand and join the Caravan of love.

Every Friday for Summer of Solidarity, the Euradio team picks 15 cool tracks out of its recent airing list to showcase the best of what European sound has to offer.
