Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
William Fitzsimmons is dependable, like the constant sun and the enduring moon. His is a sound uncontrived and without artifice or unnecessary embellishments.

Years and Years erupt in an explosion of Skittle flavored confetti as a result of their track Shine getting the Danny L. Harle Remix treatment. This is a revved up play on the original and I think I like it, dare I say, better. Continue reading “years and years | shine | danny l harle remix”
Photocomfort puts some skin in the music game with their new single Not Love. The airy vocals of Justine Bowe fills your ear with cotton candy soaked in the groove liquor and funk molasses of R&B with flourishes of a rebellious rock. Continue reading “photocomfort | not love”

Abra is a shot in the dark. A kind of drive-by shooting unloading with unavoidable musical scatter shot, your hit and bleeding fragmented beats and muted synths. But instead of a disorienting ringing in your ears you get something newly nostalgic and soul soothing. Abra presents a refreshingly odd school slash old school sound persona, and it is both highly desirous and wickedly adept at being sleek, sly and sumptuously delicious.

Continue reading “abra | rose | listening party”
