nathan k. // ghosts (dit session #24)

if you’re not familiar with the homespun music of nathan k. (Nathan Klages) then it is about time you take a few minutes and sit back and absorb the work-a-day music of this incredible michigan-based singer/songwriter. nathan’s soulfully wholesome album ‘dishes’ came out this summer, from which the beautiful track, “ghost” is taken. after the jump check out the dit session #24 for the previous mentioned track. how mr. k captures so much raw emotional tumult is both heart wrenching and a total explosion of happy/sad tears all at the some time. for more, check out nathan k.’s bob seger video and shiver at it’s majesty and grace. it’s as if every time nathan picks up a guitar and sets his honest mouth and accompanies the mercurial michigan clime, the airwaves rattle with the bones of truth. peace.

shiny toy guns // fading listening

on the track “fading listening” the voices of chad petree and carah faye charnow of the now undefunct pioneering electro-pop band shiny toy guns, do a sort of call and response reminiscent of the vocally handsome twining with the sonically beautiful. but don’t mind me just listen to the song and just be thankful this pioneering band of four (the other two band members being Jeremy Dawson and Mikey Martin) are finally back together and making great music. the band’s new album III is out now, and if you want to stream it then go to www. shinytoyguns.com. peace.

blood orange // neptune (ft. starchild)

i think an artist should do a song cover only if they’re going to do it justice.  in the case of  blood orange‘s (devonté hynes) cover of lemonade’s track “neptune,” it exceeds all (well, at least mine) expectations. the track is taken from lemonade’s  current album ‘diver’ released via true panther. by the way, you”ll also hear a pretty dope rap verse by the veritable practitioner of rhymes starchild. peace.
