Past and Present is Tavik’s way of paying homage to the musicians that may have been forgotten, but continue to inspire us today. In each installment we take music from earlier generations and compare it to the songs they influence today.
Roxy Music is one of the greats in the world of art rock, and are well known for their abnormal song structures and overall approach. Contemporary artist Youth Lagoon showed a similar approach in his 2013 album Wondrous Bughouse, experimenting with unusual rhythms and sonic landscapes. Listen to the title track off of Roxy Music’s 1973 album For Your Pleasure, and Youth Lagoon’s “Attic Doctor”.
