kimbra | love in high places | official video

Kimbra to date doesn’t just put out music. No, she officially releases brilliant, radiant light time and time again. Ms. K’s music glistens like a flickering candle in a world filled with darkness.

After the jump lay your eyes on the beautiful Timothy Armstrong directed video for the track Love In High Places.

Love In High Places is a cavalcade of joyous poly rhythmic and classic neo soul infused (think Erykah Badu embroiled in a cloud of space smoke) with soul warming citrine.

The Golden Echo release, from which this track is lifted, exists as a sound temple awaiting your immediate supplication. Peace.

Artist: Kimbra
Album: Golden Echoes
Featured Track: Love In High Places

jessica pratt | back, baby

Jessica Pratt has penned one of those songs you never knew you needed until now. The track, Back, Baby is both sweet and melancholy. Just perfectly perfect. And her slightly tarnished and warbling voice is ideally suited for such a diddy. Continue reading “jessica pratt | back, baby”

still parade | fields ep

Still Parade’s most recent claim to fame? They broke into my heart! Here is a band who possesses magic. The kind of magic we’re all familiar with: a black hat, a wand and a white rabbit? Not at all. No, theirs is a kind of wonderment conjured by pliant music and a lush singing voice. Continue reading “still parade | fields ep”

mannequins on 7th street | superblue ep

Mannequins On 7th Street shed a kind of depilating radiance choked full of forlorn postures all supine and reposed. Their debut Superblue EP is beauty in sound form and ready made for auditory consumption. Peace. Continue reading “mannequins on 7th street | superblue ep”

daniel wilson | the boy who cried thunder ep

Ypsilanti, Michigan native Daniel Wilson isn’t so much an anomaly as he is a supremely talented singer/songwriter. He somehow manages to quasi-impersonate vocally greats like Smoky Robinson. Or in the case of the lead track Killed Ya the quirky best of a modern miracle like Cee Lo Green (Goodie Mob, Gnarls Barkley). Then musically inhabit the glissando of Brian Burton (Danger Mouse, Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells).

Mr. D. W. can effortlessly (or so it seems) compose sonics on par with say Bon Iver (Vernon Jordan) or melt a melody ala Caroline Smith. But a copycat Mr. Wilson most certainly isn’t, for he brings the fresh and unique force of his own imaginative spirit to the music making experience. For proof check out his latest The Boy Who Cried Thunder EP and be impressed. I am an instant fan. Oh my fav is the song Proofread. I am pricked. Peace.

slow hands | everything (we are) ep

New York City-based Slow Hands is letting the funk in through your eardrum and it’s all good. The stand out track on Miss White lifted from his latest Everything (We Are) EP is a glossy house-funk soul ride into a happy space and it hits the body in all the right places. After the jump I have also included the Deep House Amsterdam Mixtape #129 for your listening pleasure. Peace. Continue reading “slow hands | everything (we are) ep”
