daniel hindman + sarah versprille = pure bathing culture. their music is as bright as a longed for summer day replete with whimsical soulful birdsong and fragrant wildflowers. the brooklyn, nyc transplants have put down roots out west, and although the duo saw an early 2012 release via father daughter records the four-track self-titled pure bathing culture ep was being newly released by memphis industries a few months ago (august). peace.

kate boy // northern lights

the electro swedish-based trio known as kate boy proves once again there is always room aplenty for another synth-based band. the band’s inaugural first toe in the water is the song “northern lights” and it as good to listen to as it is to watch their beautifully shot video. definitely looking forward to more, and of course for the initiated, it is shows that threesomes almost always satisfy. peace.  Continue reading “kate boy // northern lights”

solange // lovers in the parking lot

what’s not to like about solange? and i got to give it to her on what i’ve heard so far from her forthcoming ep release ‘true’. first there was “losing you” with its eclectic, yet visceral homage to heartbreak and fear of losing love. then there was the very capable b-side “sleep in the park,” although i choose the twin shadow remodel featuring d’angelo lacy over the original. this was followed by a couple of additional songs, “true”, “don’t let me down” and “locked in the closet”. so far so good. now we have “lovers in the parking lot”. don’t forget the ‘true’ ep drops digitally november 27th via terrible records. peace.

sébastien schuller // nightlife (our sunday best)

The music of Sébastien Schuller is a place where a listener can return to often. It is a muted-toned landscape were even the new songs sound familiar and have the countenance of entities of old and sage age. And if not wisdom, then the songs possessed with an ability to endure and rise above it all. After the jump check out the video for the song “Nightlife,” as well as the Walter Sobcek remix . For additional tranquil offerings, check out Mr. Schuller’s soundcloud. Peace. Continue reading “sébastien schuller // nightlife (our sunday best)”

angel haze & lunice // give me that

Here we have Angel Haze lyrically menstruating all over a Lunice freakishly nasty track. just so you know, ms. haze isn’t all about the drama, case in point check out her “Love Of My Life” video after the jump. I also have a Lunice Remix of T.E.E.D.’s “Trouble”. like always i got you. peace. Continue reading “angel haze & lunice // give me that”
