Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs and Max Foreman of Los Angeles duo Bouquet told us about their respective love for Kate Bush and Sly classics...
Hounds of Love (EMI)
Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs: I can barely put words to my boundless love for Hounds of Love. This album, for me, is a personal paracosm; a dimension I can enter with the drop of a needle. Every time I come in arms-raised, holding an invisible tray like, “I’m baaaaa-aack…”
Sly & the Family Stone
There’s a Riot Goin’ On (Epic)
Max Foreman: It seems apropos for this moment to revisit an album about political unrest, disillusionment and self-destruction. This album hits on so many levels. I bought my first electric piano to shed Billy Preston’s keyboard parts on “Family Affair” and “Just Like a Baby”. Our incorporation of early rhythm machines was influenced in part by the white noise hi-hats and analog auxiliary percussion all over this record.
Bouquet's "Moon Was Made" single is out now, with an album due in May.
