Sufjan Stevens does things his way and you gotta admire a man who doesn’t rush or make new music just for the sake of commercial interest or to stroke his ego. Continue reading “sufjan stevens | should have known better & no shade in the shadow of the cross”
active child | 1999
Active Child (Pat Grossi) sets a tender mood in which time coagulates and gets stuck within the soft tissue ventricles of your radiant heart. And as the track 1999 languidly unspools itself around a bouquet of silvery tears you will fall deeper, fall fast and futility apart. This is chill-out R&B music at its very mundane and forlorn best.

v. bozeman | race jones
V. Bozeman isn’t your typical artist, especially when it comes to issues addressing self-identity, perceptions of beauty and cultural assimilation.

balkan beat box | my baby
Balkan Beat Box are a rousing triod troupe of talented misfits and I like ’em just fine. Check out their spirited track My Baby lifted from the Blue Eyed Black Boy (2010) release and let the music do what it do. I also included the utterly stupid fly instrumental BBBeat from their Nu Med (2007) album. Continue reading “balkan beat box | my baby”

jane jupiter x chapman | stargazing | official optics
Jane Jupiter (the alter ego of Kid Sister) along with the artist Chapman lay down an eerie bit of space soul with the track Stargazing. Continue reading “jane jupiter x chapman | stargazing | official optics”
