No the band name is not a misprint, but the NYC-based project is worthy of a double-take, or should I say double-listen? Mind me not, but do check out their latest release “Wings“. The track provokes one (or at least me) to sky-gaze and makes me feel all grandiose and gossamer inside. Again, don’t mind me, but do find enjoyment in the music and video.

Columbus, Ohioans and band Saintseneca do amazing things with music. In very capable hands, and heart, the trio’s music is blown like glass into fragile odes of sheer beauty. And although it’s been a while since we heard any news on the horizon in regards to a new full-length November saw the release of the Saintseneca EP which, “Only The Young Die Good,” is taken. Here’s hoping there is a new album in the works for 2013. Until then let me share another new track titled, “Mallwalker“.

This is experimental, spontaneous, improv and totally likeable indie music at it’s finest hour. Peace. Continue reading “beak // mono / kenn”
Also breaking on This Kid Is A Problem (TKIAP) is the Australian jam-band Hiatus Kaiyote. The group is co-produced by Uche Uchendu and the incomparable Erykah Badu. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia and conjuring up sonic images from a wide variety of influences, R&B, Neo-Soul, Jazz, World Music, etc. Their album, ‘Tawk Tomahawk‘ dropped earlier this year, and to date is hands down definitely one of the most slept-on releases of 2012. Lead vocalist Nai Palm unsheathes a voice so radiantly profound it defies dislike and draws you into her world of musical bliss. Hopefully, this eclectic ensemble with its jazzy overtones and sub-zero vibe will get the exposure and recognition they so richly deserve. After the jump check out a jam session to see them in action, and hear what all the fuss is all about. By the way, you can cop a FREE DOWNLOAD copy of the band’s Tawk Takeout Tawk Tomahawk Remixed via bandcamp. Peace.
