These are videos that I like: Jasper Hoiby and Moker

 

Our next installment of videos to feature musicians who earned a slot on the Best of 2016 list come courtesy of bassist Jasper Høiby and the band Moker.

Jasper Høiby‘s Fellow Creatures earned the #13 slot on the Best Of list, and even then I’m not sure that sufficiently reflects just how good that album is.  Here’s a rendition of the album track “Folk Song” from a performance at Kings Place, London earlier this year.

The band Moker earned the #14 slot for their album Ladder.  They found countless ways to express their wild personality on that recording, and this 2013 performance of “La Resistenza” at Postival, Oostende shows that trait isn’t a new thing from the band.

And here’s a nifty animated trailer for Ladder
