The track hails from Blood Orange’s Cupid Deluxe (2013) release courtesy of Domino Recordings. Peace. Continue reading “blood orange | on the line”
the weeknd | can’t feel my face
the weeknd | can’t feel my face
The Weeknd always manages to come into the ring swingin’ and his latest “Can’t Feel My Face” is a knockout. Coming off the recent success of “Earned It” from the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack we’ve hardly had time to catch our breath. But I suspect that is just the way Mr. Tesfaye likes it. Peace. Continue reading “the weeknd | can’t feel my face”
gallant | open up
Gallant is a product of Los Ang and imagine there is much more to this young lion that the LA experience. He’s done nothing less than slipping our ears a bit of tongue on his steady rise to fame and fortune. And in case you missed his previous Talking In Your Sleep, well now can. Make sure you keep your eyes and ears open for this one ’cause he ain’t playing, no not at all. Peace. Continue reading “gallant | open up”
johan agebjörn | the best thing (ft. sally shapiro (electric youth cover)
If ever one could lasso a cumulus cloud and melt it, then drip drop the soft rain glow against one’s ears I am pretty certain it would like replicate Sally Shapiro’s giant-sized petite vocals. Here, Johan Agebjörn and Ms. Shapiro take the Electric Youth track The Best Thing and treat it like a bejeweled whisper. Its lovely stuff. Continue reading “johan agebjörn | the best thing (ft. sally shapiro (electric youth cover)”
alabama shakes | sound & color
Alabama Shakes is a band of unassuming wonder and mesmerizing candor. In 2012 they spilled the coolest beans with their (Boys & Girls) release. We know the carnage their collective artistry waged; left us drunk on lust and languid. We were loved and tossed, lovingly bruised, and in the end left spent, yet still groping under the covers for one more warm feel. We now know Britney Howard as a bonafide soul woman, a southern rock goddess personified and a lyrical groit with solar powered lungs that’ll fuck you up if your ears can’t hold your their auricular liquor. Continue reading “alabama shakes | sound & color”

damon albarn | everyday robots
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”
