Chet Faker teams up with newbie Kilo Kish and their output is a sonic heavy-weight champion of seismic proportions. Chet’s cigarette-cured masculine bravado gets a side of Ms. Kish’s dreamy and evocative vocals which propels the track Melt into loftcries of harmonic ecstasy. Good. Very good. Peace.

majical cloudz // impersonator lp
Majical Cloudz did the best of things in 2013. They released the Impersonator LP. The man behind the music, songwriter Devon Welsh, reversed engineered songs from a pure emotional state, for our emotions forever remain the end result of our experiences. Bearing such a philosophy in mind the music production by Matthew Otto became more of a challenge. How to craft a sonic backdrop without falling into the muck of irrelevancy? Showcasing vocal sound over instrumentative preeminence. With Impersonator the music becomes the soft beating pulse of the heart and the lyrics are a body of work in salient motion. A balance of symbiotic magnitude, with the organically humanness of voice leading a human derivative by the hand.
After the jump check out Childhood’s End and Bugs Don’t Buzz. Peace. Continue reading “majical cloudz // impersonator lp”
sita | you’re nobody ’till somebody loves you | video
Sita delivers a spellbinding rendition of James Arthur’s classic You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You. Her approach and execution are sparse, yet nonetheless effectively breath taking. Listen as she twists and turns this song into coiled honey. Pulling it inside out sweetly and deftly with an angel’s voice. This one leaves your ears a bloody mess by songs end. I got vertigo on the first listen, so you’ve been warned.
Expect much more from the phenomenal Sita Yebga in 2014, and like always The Earology Dept. will keep you in the loop. Peace. Continue reading “sita | you’re nobody ’till somebody loves you | video”

star slinger // iv + teams vs. star slinger
Star Slinger not only reps Manchester, UK but he does his damndest to rep a groove regardless of its country of origin. And he doesn’t just fiddle faddle around. His is a labor of love, respect and appreciation for the material. Listen, as he breathes new life into both old and new school music across a plethora of genres whilst creating present day classics right before our very ears. No, its not magic. Just mad talent.
IV is his latest, as the Roman numerals indicate, it is four tracks representing Star Slinger in his element.

Also, check out the Star Slinger vs. Teams vinyl release. This one is an all day sonic sucker seemingly without limitations (or loss of flava’). But what makes this one especial is how it was made. This is an online collaboration between producers Star Slinger (reppin’ the UK) and Teams (standing loud and proud for the US). This platter is not only a display of the-without-borders mentality, but in addition it showcases the synergy that is tapped into when phenomenal personalities team up and move the possibilities forever forward. Although the music is mined from samples spanning R&B and modern soul classics, it is reworked and revived into a matrix of hip-hop rhythms and the results are sunshiny eargasms galore. The end product is stultifying and mind-numbing. This is the ultimate homage to the oldies but goodies, and in no way diminishes what was, but instead it is a salute and the proverbial hats off. Peace. Continue reading “star slinger // iv + teams vs. star slinger”
