Here’s a round up of what’s come across my desk recently but
still haven’t had a chance to write full reviews about yet:
Endearing
slacker rock that comes across as sweet and slightly funky is what you get with Yung Heazy/Whenever
You’re Around I Hate Everything Less. Body Salt/Sex Tape – Electro/soul
duo blending R&B flavor with heavy synths. Tas Cru/Memphis Song – Easygoing originals reflecting the spirit of the blues. Cyrille
Aimee/Live – Multi-lingual jazz vocalist shares vibrant
and diverse live recordings. Oneohtrix Point Never/Age Of – A
sonic swirl of broad influence and electronic genre subversion. If you like
Tame Impala then you’ll really
like Melody’s Echo Chamber Bon Voyage and their
psychedelic beach pop wanderings characterized by lilting vocals and odd
interludes. Pink Sky/Forms is a mix of minimal, atmospheric
electro duo akin to Jon Hopkins. Coco O’Connor/This Ol’ War – Poignant
storytelling with a broad vision. Want some mostly instrumental ska with a
hearty mix great vocal additions? Then you’ll want The Georgetown
Orbits Solar Flares.
Femdot/Delacreme Vol. 2 – a versatile Chicago-based
hip hop artist tackles a plethora of issues in seamless fashion.
