alt-j | hunger of the pine | the golden pony remix
The Leeds band Alt-J is pretty amazing as is, but when you put a solid track such as Hunger Of The Pine in the very inventive and capable hands of the exceptional producers of The Golden Pony sparks fly. Look at Mr. and Mr. The Golden Pony’s record, for it reads like the successive accomplishments of some very astute mixologists. Yet, to classify Timothy Monkiewicz and Thomas Murphy as simply mixers of music is not telling the whole story. Consider the following lifted from their Facebook fanpage: Continue reading “alt-j | hunger of the pine | the golden pony remix”

caroline smith | half about being a woman lp
Caroline Smith will take your heart and break it, mend it and send you on your merry way smiling like a fool. Ms. Smith does something with words and music which comes naturally and seemingly effortless, yet we know it isn’t either. But, it is her slight of voice and deft cleft notes that not only entertain our ears, but makes us lean in closer.
Her album Half About Being A Woman is a gut check for anyone, Doubting Thomases and otherwise, whomever rolled eyes or twisted collective lips at Ms. Smith’s change up from Folksy torch bearer to a decidedly R&B earthen funk delivery system. Continue reading “caroline smith | half about being a woman lp”

fyfe | holding on |
The music of Fyfe makes mine chambered heart-cup runneth over with the burnished high emotions of amore. The track, Holding On is the perfect Hump Day song, if my drift is received and channeled with the correct overheated frequency. I blush.
