Damon Albarn, hey man its been a year and some change, and I am still inextricably in love with you, what gives? The Everyday Robots album is yet another maudlin gold standard for dark, moody and introspective brooding. From the title track Everyday Robots right on down to the very last song Heavy Seas of Love, this is a mellow ride that’s worth oft repeating. By the by, you’ll repeat Lonely Press Play more than a lil’ bit. Peace. Continue reading “damon albarn | everyday robots”
deleted scenes | throwback thursday
Deleted Scenes was a band but they called it quits just about a year ago and I miss them.
If you ever drank from the cups of sorrow and woe well into the night then these are the songs that’ll keep you sane. These are songs fit for raging and swinging your fists into the guilty seconds, minutes and hours. But these are also the songs that’ll becalm your white water pulse and allow you, to if not see reason, then to at least see your way through the night. I say check ’em out and get some Deleted Scenes into your life loving ears. You’ll be better off for it. Peace. Continue reading “deleted scenes | throwback thursday”

Native Cali dude Nick Leng offers the track Inside Your Mind (ft. Carmody) like a rustling whisper drifting sweetly and soft like into the curlicue of your ear. Continue reading “nick leng | inside your mind (ft. carmody)”
shamz le roc | incipio ep
Shamz Le Roc is an artist you probably haven’t heard about, until now. But that’s gonna change. Why? Well for starters she’s a force of hyper-kinetic energy and that energy has taken sound shape into her debut Incipio EP release. Continue reading “shamz le roc | incipio ep”
tobias jesso jr. | how could you babe
Tobias Jesso Jr. has penned a song which sounds like a mash-up of Otis Redding’s Dock of the Bay and George Michaels’ One More Try. But that’s just me. That isn’t to say I don’t like How Could You Babe because I most certainly do. How’s that for an endorsement? Continue reading “tobias jesso jr. | how could you babe”
hot chip | burning up
Hot Chip is well known for conjuring up inventive and highly dance worthy musical fare. And let’s be honest its been a minute since the boys from London graced our ears with a beat or two. Well wait no more with a new album underway there is hope yet the summer isn’t going to be a total wash. Below take a listen and sing along to Burning Up the new single lifted from Hot Chip’s forthcoming Why Make Sense? I love this song because is has a chill manner like my cat Reginald but I don’t have to empty the litter box. Yes, I am weird but this song definitely isn’t. Welcome back Mr. Goddard. Peace. Continue reading “hot chip | burning up”
dave wave | drag
Dave Wave does the somber, slightly self-deprecating and bubbly indie pop thing and it works. With a sound reminiscent of Two Door Cinema Club and The Drums, Dave has all the makings of a audible good time. You can most certainly add this lil’ gem to your warm weather playlist. Also, you can give Dave Wave your heart on the HYPE MACHINE. Peace. Continue reading “dave wave | drag”
unknown mortal orchestra | multi-love
Unknown Mortal Orchestra dips a toe into the pseudo-psychotropic wading pool and the results are seismic. The track Multi-Love has all the earmarks of a full-fledged summer jam. The track is lifted from the band’s forthcoming Multi-Love album due to drop May 26th via Jagjaguwar. Peace. Continue reading “unknown mortal orchestra | multi-love”
lapalux | puzzle (ft. andreya triana)
Previously after being snatched up and added to the Brainfeeder roster in 2010 we’ve been treated to certified gemified EPS, Some Other Time and When You’re Gone. Lapalux’s debut release Nostalchic peeled domes back to the white meat and sprinkled space dust where space dust previously had been withheld. And now here were are and front and center is Lustmore and it drips eroticism like an exotic and naked dancer of exquisite form and slowly gyrating hips.
Stuward Howard is well-steeped in groove ridden ultramatic musical sensuality and maybe that’s just his cross to bare. And if that be the case he’s particularly adequately equipped for such an endeavor. As Lapalux the definition and realm of what musical can be is so much as being challenged as it is being rearranged in vastly nuanced renditions. Think of the arched rainbow re-tied up with loop-the-loops and meditative spiral twirls. The colors turned down low, burnished with heavy-lidded bedroom eyes filled a smoldering and lustful gaze.
Click on the link below to check out his latest single Puzzle (ft. Andreya Triana) and you may just one to it in your ear-pipe and smoke it endlessly. Peace.
j. viewz | into the light (ft. wild cub)
J. Viewz is (Jonathan Dagan ) and he’s likeable much like a good beer (or wine if you’re a wino, no offense mind you). And since I like a good craft beer the metaphor is an apt one. Any old ways I digress. Give the track Into The Light (ft. Wild Cub) a listen and I’m betting you’ll like it too. If not, oh well I tried. You can find this tranquil and dreamy track and others via The DNA Project. Peace.
Artist: J. Viewz
Release: The DNA Project
Featured Track: Into The Light (ft. Wild Cub)
